Mastistyle

I got married at MDC in Nov. There is a thread further below about Moon Dance Cliffs that is helpful. You can swim off the cliffs. They have 2 places to jump off. It isn't anything big like Rick's-but it was perfect for the resort. The resort itself is gorgeous, and there are plenty of great photo ops. You pay for what you want-ie flowers. We brought the majority of our decorations with us.

I have tried to post my review 3 times! Unfortuantely, I didn't c&p from word. And I don't feel like typing it again. But we are back. We got back last week-and I wish I was still in negril! Email me at mastistyle at hotmail and I can send you pics, give you my reviews etc. vendors I used: Michael Saab Photography Miss Myries Cakes (through MDC) Steel drum band (through MDC) Fire dancer (through MDC) Kamla Spa for hair only Sound Illusions (DJ) Tai FLora-flowers

Hi ladies-sorry I haven't been on here much. We leave next week for our wedding-and I can't wait. Of course I have a ton of things to do before we leave, but I am at the point if it doesn't get done-oh well! But I will be sure to come back with full reviews of all the vendors I am using. Have a great weekend!

Hi ladies...I am lurking again! How are your pplans coming along? We hit the 2 month mark last week...where is the time going Advice for all of you other ladies-DON"T WAIT to do anything...get as muchas you can do now. Im a mess right now! Un-bride-what happened? i hope they straightened everything out...

Hi ladies! Just wanted to say hi...how is everyon'e planning coming along? I am just under 3 months...I think Neha and I seem to be the next ones...

MissBlade-we are only having the jamaican ceremony. I have heard mixed reviews about the time it takes to get the marriage certificate. (3 weeks all the way to 9 weeks!). And another date-more planning-something I don't want! Christy335-I know Miriam has been on vacation-but Kim should be able to get back with you.Are you calling the Chicago office? As far as the tips-everything we are paying for has a tax and gratuity added to it (18.25%)-so I am assuming that includes the WC. I am not trying to be cheap-but an additional tip adds up!

Neha-do you have any guests staying at other resorts? How much is MDC charging you for them to attend the wedding/reception? I am not sure what to do about tips-the resort already charges service and gratuity-so I am not sure to handle that. Ceremony music-probably using IPOD since it is just a few songs. I am having indian music as well as western songs for the ceremony. But can you tell me if I am leaving anything off? Guests being seated Minister entrance Groom's entrance (Bridal party) Bride's entrance (backround music for readings) Bride/Groom leaving signing marriage certificate Centerpeices-I am doing a combo of flowers and decorations I am bringing with me. We either spend the $$ on flowers that no one can take home, or we spend the $$ on an extra bag and we can bring that back home. So, I opted for the second.

hi ladies-just wanted to say hi. I haven't posted in a while...how is everyones planning going? My invites will be sent out Monday. I just have to seal the inner envelopes and label them and they are done! I am at the point now that I just wanted to get them out the door... big3n09-We are not doing a video. FI and I went back and forth about it. There are pros and cons for each side-but in reality-we knew we would probably watch it just once after the wedding and we didn't want to spend that extra money. I know there are a few of us on here-but when are your wedding dates? I tried making a list from the posts-but BDW has been so slow...and I was getting impatient!

I have only heard good things about Sound Illusion. I can't seem to get a set price per hour. They first quoted me $275/hr but another bride used them and paid $200/hr.

I am getting married at the villas sister property-the cliffs. Unfortunately, it has been the same with brides there as well. But in the end, every bride has said they did a fabulous job-and it was perfect. That is my fear as well-being over budgeted on everything...

Lynnmb1031-I am in the same boat. When I first started planning, I said I was going to go the IPOD route to cut costs. ANd now I keep going back and forth btwn a DJ and the IPOD route. the IPOD is def cheaper, but then there is not any mixing, and I would assume the DJ will play songs by judging the atmoshpere.

Has anyone used Sound Illusion DJ's in negril? And does anyone have their currect price list? Thanks!

Un-bride-congrats! I have a question for any of you ladies using Sound Illusions (DJ). How much did they quote you per hour? They sent me something saying it was $220 an hour...but I thought I read somewhere it was lower...

For those of you getting married in Negril-do you have any suggestions on a cake baker? Thanks!
