No- Rockhouse doesn't allow outside WCs. Originally I was looking for an outside WC when I was thinking about Tensing Pen because the WC made me so nervous (they don't allow an outside WC either). But, I just felt so at ease with Inise. What vendors would you need?

Sorry for responding so late, but thanks for the compliments ladies. No hidden fees whatsoever & Inise the WC is awesome!! If anyone has any questions, ask away! I'm trying to check in here a little more to give back.

I too cannot sing enough praises about Sungold. Paula & Damian are the greatest! My slideshow is here.

Oh wow Mrsrrobinson, we must have similar tastes. Rockhouse is truly the most amazing place to get married at... the pictures don't do it any justice! There is nothing less than amazing about that place for a wedding!!

I also posted this in the wedding & engagement picture forum... Paula & Damian of Sun Gold were amazing!! They managed to capture every moment without me even being conscious of them there. If you're still looking for a wedding photog for Jamaica, I suggest you really look into booking Paula & Damian!

I am sooooo blown away by Paula & Damian of Sun Gold Photography that there are no words~ I'm totally speechless (which rarely happens to me, lol)!! They are the nicest photogs, super talented & super hardworking- even my guests commented on there undying attention of me & my hubby! I would HIGHLY suggest them to anyone...photos were so important to me, so the best choice I made was hiring them (and marrying DH

So... here's the slideshow!!

I know this is a little late as I have not been on here in FOREVER! Since my wedding in April (2011) I have been bogged down with work. But I have the greatest company for you. We used Clive's Transport for- I think 52 people? He is the past president of the Negril Chapter of JUTA (Jamaica Union of Travelers Association). We had a coach bus & a van. The bus carried 45 or 48 & the van carried the rest. The price we paid was unbelievable-  my guests thanked me. PM me for more info.

Thanks ladies for all the compliments! I loved each and every wedding photo that you April ladies shared on here. Congrats to all those moving into the phase of making babies!!

Hey ladies- so I'm reeaaally back now, lol! We got back from our wedding late night on Thursday May 5th, then left back out for Reno on May 11th- jeez I'm tired!! Unlike you ladies, I won't have my pro pics back probably until some time next month, but I know they'll be awesome! EVERYTHING was amazing- 100 times better than I could even imagine  .  I have a few of the guests pics, but I'm sure they're in no way compare to the pro pics, just wish I had some pro pics to show you ladies. I'm posting a few here and will hopefully get to a review this week & planning thread next week.

I just returned from my wedding there and there were absolutely no hidden fees. Once you email Inise the WC, she will send you the costs per person for the different dinner packages, and the cost for the dj and/or steel drum band if you want that. There are no set up fees at all- they set up all your decor for free! They don't have a per person open bar but you can set a total amount that you want to pay for your guests to drink, then it'll be a cash bar after that or you can just have a cash bar. You pick your floral package with the florist- floral fantasies, or you can choose to bring your own floral/decor which is what I did. You book your own photographers- they suggest Sungold which I had already booked. To reserve your wedding date is $4000 which goes toward the cost of your guests food total. An additional 20% is added to the food total as there's 10% tax & 10% service charge (gratuity) in Jamaica. For a 3 tiered wedding cake, it's $400, or you can do a 1 tiered cake with a sheet cake, or you can do cupcakes, but I forget the cost for that. Let me know if you have any other questions!

OMG!! Everything was beyond phenomenal. I knew it would be amazing, but there are actually no words to describe it. Having my wedding at Rockhouse was the best decision I ever made, besides choosing an amazing man to marry. All my guests are still gushing and plan to go back to Rockhouse next year already lol. After a brief rest, I'll put up my review & some guest pics (there are literally thousands!!). My photogs were Paula & Damian from Sungold (the nicest people EVER). All the guests commented on the photogs attention to us, so I'm sure the pics will be GORGEOUS, but they won't be back for a couple of months

Greetings from Jamaica!!! My cousin & I got here yesterday & everyone will be here tomorrow. I didn't have enough time to do a planning thread before I left so will be doing so after the fact. Well gotta go, but will try to pop in ever so often!

Alright ladies, I'm off. Our flight leaves tomorrow morning nice and early so I'll be up at 4:00am. I don't know if either of us are going to sleep tonight but I thought I'd take a short break from my scrambling to say adios to all of you. Thanks for being there for me during this insane process!
 

I'm really sad that my planning thread won't be up before I leave. I'm going to have to do an "after the fact" one... it's been just too much with the move and living out of boxes. I can't believe how much we've done throughout these past few weeks. I'm so proud of us for not killing each other!

 

I'll be back on May.7th!

Have fun Tris, I know everything will be amazing!!
 

Have an amazing time Lisa & Erin!! Today is my last day at work too THANK GOD!!!

Sounds amazing! I love reading reviews about Jamaica weddings, especially about a resort that you don't see too often. I leave on Tuesday for my wedding at Rockhouse & your review has gotten me even more excited!!

Hope you have an AMAZING time FMichelle! See you on the other side, lol.

I leave Tuesday & I have a ton to do on Monday! I need to have my computer by Friday or it's a done deal.

Hey Ella!! I've been thinking about all you ladies!! Well as far as the computer, it's not charging. I got a new charger, but was told the charger port on the computer is bad. So today I came up with the brilliant idea of getting one of those external chargers that I can just put the battery in...they're holding it at the store, but the guy who has my computer isn't returning FI's calls! I need my computer back ASAP!!

Whew- that was alot of catching up to do!! So glad that everyone had amazing weddings!! I haven't been on here much & have been going thru BDW withdrawal. My computer is NOT working & I'm freaking out because all of my DIY projects are on there!!! Hopefully it can be fixed in the next couple of days as I'm leaving early Tuesday morning!!!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everyone's pics and can hopefully catch up with the reviews today. I think I'm the last April bride??!

 

11 days til I leave!!

Congrats to all you ladies!! 15 days to go for me. Does everyone have everything done?

Tenny you look amazing- LOVE the dress!

I love everything Mocha! Can't wait to see the dress & for you to add more stuff to this thread, lol!

Those look amazing! Where on here did you find the template?

Mocha- yay we get to see another planning thread! Brandy, I love the tablecloths- really pretty! Have a great time Greys! I have a million things to do & feel like I have no time left! I need a break from work!!
