From what I understand the government owns Laughing Waters and you can rent it from the government. I would contact the Jamaica Chamber of Commerece. Here are some more events at Laughing Waters: Jamaica Gleaner News - It's Jeremy and Nina's wedding! - Sunday | December 3, 2006 Jamaica Gleaner News - Something extra - Tuesday | January 22, 2008 JCC - The Jamaica Chamber of Commerce

Does anyone know of this venue and can provide any info? I'm told it's a stunning location where the previous Prime Minister held his daughter's wedding, and I'm dying to check it out as I am not interested in having my wedding at an AI property. Thanks! FYI some of those photos from that wedding were shot at the exclusive private estate Rio Chico

Laughing Waters is GORGEOUS! I also believe some of the James Bond Movie Dr. No starring Sean Connery and Ursla Andres was filmed there also...Here is a link to a recent wedding I found there: Jim Kennedy Photographers Blog Archive ALi & Rich Jamaica Wedding

There are 3 or 4 different banquet rooms to choose from and they have an array of choices for your Reception dinner. In addition they check in with me on a regular via email and they are eaisly accesible by phone:

My Wedding & Reception are at The Ruins at the Falls in Ochi and so far The Ruins banquet managers have been great! Our accomodations are at the Sunset Jamaica Grande.

My regular stylist in Brooklyn is sewing in some pieces. My hair is pretty long but for the style I want it needs to be longer and a little fuller. The stylist I hired in Jamaica will be styling my hair when I get down there. I am using wet and wavy that can be blow dried straight.

I keep saying "it's so beautiful!" did you order it from somewhere or find it in a store? I see you are in Brooklyn, and I am in Jersey, so I had to ask... I actually ordered it from Memories Bridal in North Bergen, Jersey

Quote: Originally Posted by SoontobeMrsE I think either is fine. My dress is ivory, FI is wearing ivory pants & white shirt. Both the FG and RB are wearing all white. Our GM's are all wearing a natural colored linen pant and ivory shirts. What color are the GM's shirts? The Groomsmen's shirts are white dress shirts

Quote: Originally Posted by ErinB I would go with ivory, maybe with a sash in a wedding color to help tie everything together. Is your dress a Casablanca? Yes it's Casablanca

I am trying to finalize the attire for the bridal party and I could use a little help with the groomsmen and the kids... My dress is ivory but we got the groomsmen white dress shirts and tan linen dress pants. We are still debating on the linen jackets without a tie. Fiance's suit is probably a shade darker than the groomsmen pants but not much still tan and he has a white shirt with a cream and chocolate tie. Should I get the flowergirls a white or ivory dress? TY in advance for your help Here is a pic of my dress:

Great review and great PICS!

Thanks ladies for your feedback

1. On average how much to you pay for shipping 2. Do you have any idea how much dut (approximate) you had to pay once your items arrived in Jamaica? 3. How far in advance did you ship your items? 4. Did your items arrive on time? TY

Miami is less than 90 miles from Jamaica. Here is his link... http://www.frankpanarophotography.com/ Congrats on booking your photographer. I am flying my photographers in from Miami too
