That was so nice of you

Hey! Im so happy you had a great time and all seemedperfect! You looked amazing - send me your photos so I can see the rest! Im sorry we missed by a few days... cant wait to chat! xo

Awe thanks - Mark is my Hubby! I loved it - I loved everything about it and everyone one involved was amazing! Let me know how yours goes!!

Hello!! I just came back on Monday and I would like to say that Michael is amazing to work with - he is very relaxed and accommodating to you and your wedding parties needs. My hubby and I loved working with him We didn't know if we should do a video too and opted not to and have more photos and get TTD session a few days later. Its funny because your family seems to want the video and we had my aunt my husbands aunt and a friend all turn their cameras to video mode and took video - so I am sure someone will with all your guests too! We also chose the smallest package as Michael advised that we can start with that and change it as we see more photos we want - which we are as he took SO many great ones. I would also recommend the gardens/mahoe (sp.) falls he took us too - I was able to do a TTD in the beautiful gardens with flowers and also the waterfalls they have there (smaller then Dunn's, but much easier and quieter) Let me know if you need anything! Good luck

I also got the chairs with fushia ribbons - It was worth it and made the wedding ceramony look amazing!

Hello Brides! Wow! wat a great wedding! I love the ROR and Chandlyn and Nicki are amazing! I wanted to knwo if any past brides know the Marriage Officer’s full name? Thnak you!

Hello - does anyone know the Marriage Officer’s Last Name for the weddings at the RIU - Ocho Rios thanks!

I did - but I went with Jan's bridal as it was MUCH cheaper for the same thing and my flowers were perfect!

I was hoping Jan could send me a few pictures of what she quoted me on. I will likely be going with Jan's. I have asked for white flowers/ orchids in my bouquet and tropicals for the bridesmaids. Did you like your bouquets Erica Hey Erica, I am glad you got a good deal too - I am getting married in 7 days - I am sure they will be gorgeous!

thanks ladies! I was told ppl normally do them at dinner - I will be at the steak house for dinner then the poolside for my reception - do you think the "T" shaped table is awkward for speeches?

Your welcome - what are you guys doing? Tai flora?

I did that too - chose the free one and will add my upgrades

Hello Yes for me it was like $70-$80 difference - Jan's Bridal & Flowers [email protected] (email) and Jans Bridal and Flowers (website) Hope you get a great price!

Congrats to you - I cant find your review - Bet everything was amazing!

thank you for this info - did anyone book anything for the groom or anything for yourself besides the hair/makeup?

Hello day after me bride! getting excited Josee? Ok so I got some answers... The minister US$350 visa The steel drum band for the ceremony US350 cash Dinner at the steakhouse - Free The poolside reception US15 per person visa The DJ US150 per hour cash I thought she booked the DJ? As for flowers who did you go with - depending who your talking to they may take cash or visa - you might have to cheque. PM me I think were on the same flight

Hello brides, I was wondering if you have used or will use Jan's Bridal & Flowers for your wedding in Ocho Rios. I know that booking with the RIU they have given me Tai Flora as a recommendation but they are much more expensive for what I asked for at both. What should I do? Thanks everyone!

Congrats and have a great day! We're going down on the 18th, so maybe I'll see you! Awe I am just mising you What do you mean you sent your stuff to her??

Very exciting!!

Hello brides and future brides to be... During our ceremony we wanted to do a reading and have my brother do it. I was wondering a few things… 1) what are some good readings you have used or heard 2) When did you do these - after the vows, before…etc? Thank you so much

Hello brides, past and present! I wanted to get some advice from brides at the ROR - I am having my reception at 8:30 at the private poolside and was wondering what people did for the music. We wanted to have the DJ come (was he any good?) and were wondering what time we should book him from (start to finish). From experience did you do speeches right away and then the music after? Did your speeches last 30 min approximately? I don't want to pay for him to come and the first half hour or so we have speeches and I lose out on 30 min of the 1 hour service. What do you think? Also was the music any good - should I bring a copy of "our song" for him to play? Thank you so much!

Can you send me the link to the template - I cant open it - or email me your template if that is ok? thanks so much

I'm not a crafty person. I think its finding this forum that has made it so much fun. I'm spending all my free time making something for the wedding & its a year away. Hey - I love your monogram...can you send me your template? Thanks so much!

Can someone send this to me?
