Wow, we were just down at the end of August and they still had the disco. Sherika even told us that it was an option to rent it out. I hope this isn't true because we had wanted to rent it out for ourselves.

Yes we did email the WC but she told us our only two options were the beach reception or the Mahoe Bay Steakhouse. We actually asked for the Italian Restaurant and were shot down. She told us we could do that if it was only 2-4 of us eating.

Geralyn, do we need to let them know now or should we just wait until we get down there to change our package?

Hi everyone, I tried to look this up, but didn't find anything so I have this question. We are confirmed for the Royal Package, but after our site visit, we felt how hot is would be for the reception at the steakhouse. We tried to ask if we could have it at one of the other restaurants because we have some people with health problems that cannot sit in the heat for too long, and we were told we could not. Since then, my FI and I have talked about downgrading to the Classic (includes minister and judge fees) and just having our wedding dinner (not reception) in Rose Hall. OK, finally to my question: Are we able to downgrade our package? I know you can upgrade with no problem, but I don't know about downgrading.

We absolutely loved it there. While we were down, we also stood by and watched 2 weddings, and they looked fantastic too! I'm glad we got the chance to go down ahead of time just so we could experience it for ourselves. Now we can answer any of our guests questions if they have them. Everything was set up well and we were treated like royalty the whole time. The food was great and the entertainment was...well entertaining. And Sherika seems like the nicest person, she really listened to us as we asked her our questions.

Hello! My FI and I went to the resort for a visit two weeks ago and met with Sherika. She told us that the minimum you need is 40 people, and it's $55 a head. As far as your other questions, I really don't know, but there are some thread with the beach party pictures if you want to try and look at them to see how it is set up. Good luck!

Thank you for the review. The beach reception looks great, I'm going to try and convince my FI to do that!!

We've had our group rate booked for more than a month now, and we only have two people booked so far. Then again like Royal lady says, the wedding is still quite a ways off. I don't really much care who comes either, less people to worry about when we're in Jamaica.

I agree with Kristy. Let him know that it's your wedding and there were people you couldn't invite and if you were able to invite more, it'd be the people you left out in the first place. I also agree that it's rude for people to think they deserve to be somewhere they weren't invited in the first place.

Your FI brother will get over it. I have three brothers myself and we don't stay mad at each other for very long.

I agree with the island time. About 3 weeks ago I emailed the WC and I still have yet to hear back from her. But since our wedding isn't until next June, there is no real hurry.

As for when we get there, you're all absolutely correct. It's vacation time and there is no hurry for anything.

Your pictures are beautiful! Everything looks like it was great. Congratulations!!

Congratulations!! It sounds like everything went very well and you all had such a great time. Your pictures are beautiful as well. Reading these reviews makes me so much more excited to get our wedding under way. Only about 10 months to go though One question I do have is, how hot was it? My FI (I'm the groom by the way) is so worried that she'll be so hot that all of her make up will run and ruin our pictures. Congratulations again!!

I just emailed Air Jamaica's group department this afternoon to try and see what kind of deal they'll offer me. We have quite some time before the wedding, but I'd like to let everyone know just how much the airfare will be on top of the resort price. I'm hoping that they give me an offer I can't refuse!!

Thank you for the post! My FI already has a lot of these things taken care of. But then again, she's an insane planner!!

Some very excellent tips in here. We'll be sure to use many of them!

I've stayed at one in the Bahamas and really enjoyed it. We are heading to Montego Bay at the end of August for a visit before we get married there, but everyone seems to have enjoyed that as well.

Not a 2010 bride, but a 2010 groom!! Trying to give my FI as much help as I can, so I peruse this site to get ideas and answers to some questions.

I agree with both posters, wrap them up in packing material or clothing. Depending on how many you have, I would try to keep them in my carry on. We're going to have the same situation, but we won't have too many to take, so they'll be in our carry ons.

I like the linen shirts, and the linen pants. We're looking for hot pink linen shirts. Has anyone come across those in their travels?

We also wanted to do it on Saturday, but they didn't have it available. So instead we chose the Friday before and since everyone else is leaving on Monday, it gives them two full days to relax before heading back to reality.

Congratulations! Can't wait to see your pics and read your review!

Ok, I just took a look at the packages for 2009 and 2010. We chose the Royal Package for 2010, and I just noticed that there were no pictures included!! The 2009 package does have them included, but not for 2010. Does anyone think that since Photoshop does not have prices out for 2010 yet that there may be some pics included when the new prices come out??

We're also going to be there in June, so any info on this would be great. My FI of course will not let me see her dress, but she is very concerned she got the wrong kind of dress to get married in Jamaica.

Congratulations! Your pictures look wonderful. One question, how was the weather there? Was it stinkin hot??

It looks like on his price sheet it's $70 to US/Canada. That's just the prices I obtained from his website though, but it says they're valid as of Jan 1, 2009.

I was going to try and look for some kind of linen suit. My FI colors are black and hot pink so I was thinking a black linen suit of some kind with a hot pink shirt underneath for the groomsmen and an off white shirt underneath for myself.

The problem is where to try and look for a black linen suit?
