Breeze, Thanks for sharing the pics. Where did you get those robes made? They're so nice Also, where did you go for your trash the dress pics?

Hi Cam, Thanks so much for the information. I have decided to go with Calabesh and since I also have 35 people, I will sit them all in a U shape as you did If you didn't have the option of playing your own music, how did you do your first dance and dance with father? What did you guys do after Calabesh? Thanks again for the information, Chanelle

I really want to hire the Steel Drum Band but I cannot decide when I want them to play. Should I get them to play during the ceremony or reception? Any thoughts?

When I email Nicole, she ALWAYS gets back to me within the week so I would just email her with your questions

Thanks for the info Imuze! Were your guests annoyed that they had to go elsewhere to get drinks or was it close enough that everyone was fine with it? Did you rent out Aunt Rubys?

Hi Cam, How did you like Calabash? I'm having a really hard time deciding between Aunt Ruby's and Calabash. I have a few vegetarians so I hope that there will be options for them. Why didn't they make you rent out the restaurant? Did you not have a DJ or anyone making speeches? I thought that if you had music or speeches, you were forced to rent it out? How many guests did you have? Sorry for so many questions Chanelle

How much are people paying for 7 days all inclusive?

Hi Maura, Did you take pics in between your ceremony and reception? If so, were you able to get sunset pics? I'm trying to figure out my times so that I can get sunset pics Thanks, Chanelle

Islandgirl, I've learned the hard way that you can't try to please everyone. This is YOUR day so go wherever it is that you want to go! Try not to stress too much about everyone's opinions. Just do what makes you and your fiance happy

Hi DeAngelis, Do you know if there is a bar near Aunt Ruby's or Cabaresh? I can't decide between these 2 for my reception. Also, were you there on a Monday? Do you know what the Suites Nightclub is like on a Monday night? I was thinking of moving my party to the club but I want to make sure that it's good on a Monday. Thanks for any information that you can provide

I like that idea starrysim. I think that I'll do the same I know It doesn't make any sense to be charging us for open bar considering it's an all-inclusive resort. I have seen other people say that they didn't pay for the open bar for various functions that were close to the resort bars, and the guests just got drinks for themselves from the bar. We're planning to do our ceremony on the lobby balcony - as I understand it there is a bar just inside, so that will be perfect for the post-ceremony cocktail hour. We haven't decided where we're going the dinner, but we'll probably end up getting a few hours of open bar there, which I'm not too happy about. It's charged per hour, too! I probably won't commit to it ahead of time, I'll decide once we're there an I can see the set-up and layout of everything, and maybe try to get them to include it for free.

Thanks for your response Starrysim So, if you don't pay this $7 or $10/hr, only wine and beer would be available? If I choose aunt ruby's for my reception? Is there a bar near there? I have not done a site visit so it is difficult for me to have a mental image of where everything is.

I'm sure that it's not too late to change it. I had originally booked our honeymoon elsewhere but I just changed it to The Grand

Does anyone know if the $18/person for the reception includes the open bar or is there an additional cost for this?

Sorry for all the posts....But, one more question: Any ideas for what DH can do with groomsmen on the morning of the wedding (ie: golfing)

I am having some trouble deciding on times for Ceremony, reception etc... I want to take pics when the sun is still out as well as when it is setting. How long does the ceremony generally last? If I do: Ceremony 1530, pics from 1630-1830 (while guests are having cocktails) and Reception 1900-2300 and then everyone goes to Club. Any thoughts? Will this work?

I was wondering if anyone has been the the IRHS club on a Monday? My wedding is Monday May 9th and I wanted to plan to go to the club after the reception but am not sure how happening it will be on a Monday. I know that many of you brides have said that you went on a Saturday and had a great time. Any suggestions or advice is appreciated

Wow Jules!! That sounds great!!! How much is it for bon fire party on the beach with fire dancers? Are you getting a DJ as well?

I've also been trying to get a hold of Nicole to give her my final details but have not heard back from her yet. I hope that she emails me soon..

I contacted both and have yet to hear from Tai Flora. Rosemarie from Flower studio got back to me in less than an hour with photos of bouquets in my price range. She is great to work with.

Hi Tina, Is there any way that you could send me the contact info for the Catamaran Cruise? Also, how much did you pay / person?

They are both florists. Just 2 different companies. Flower Studio is much cheaper and get back to you quicker

Hi all, I really want to do a group excursion to thank all my guests for coming. I'm really not sure what to do though. I looked into glistening waters but they were really rude on the phone so I'm not sure that I want to go there. Any other suggestions?

OMG Maura!! Your pics made me cry They're so beautiful. Congrats. PS: what is the song playing during the slideshow?

I love the lights....Did Breeze bring these from home or can you get them in Jamaica?
