  1. That's interesting is this what it looks like? http://www.chocolate-dessert-recipes...ddingcake2.jpg I wonder how that will taste with vanilla and mango together...that is very unique.
  2. I just looked at the photo gallery of cakedesignslv.com and I really like the cake with the Asian orchids on it. I think it would really look nice on a three layer cake it would go perfect with the colors I have in mind.
  3. Did you guys know there was a Death by chocolate cake? Oh my God I just love Chocolate The Lemon Meringue Pie would also be good to serve to the guests but I don't know if a lot of people would like it this is what it looks like http://img4.sunset.com/i/1997/05/lemon-meringue-m.jpg
  4. This is what the cakes look like I can't upload the pics but these are the links: http://www.realbakingwithrose.com/ch...ball-thumb.jpg the decoration was with cocoa dusting instead http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3471/...40081a955f.jpg this is exactly what the Chocolate mousse Strawberry looks like http://www.german-info.com/images/tr...ory-image2.jpg I like how this cake looks as well but it had more chocolate shavings mmmmm
  5. Thank you for you ideas I think I am leaning towards a traditional Jamaican wedding cake. The Vanilla Rum cake sounds very intriguing I must try it to see what it's like. I also want to include a Chocolate cake as well, I spoke to Helen and she gave me some really nice suggestions about that. From the chocolate cakes she showed me I really liked the Double Chocolate Snowball cake and the Chocolate mousse Strawberry Layer cake that I can include. I am so excited about the Black Forest Gateau as well I am going to post the pics soon so u guys can see
  6. I am trying to decide on my wedding cake flavours any suggestions?
  7. I have been working with Helen G Events and she has been great, she responds quickly and is pretty detailed and thorough. She offered and has done a table setting for me which turned out great. She has access to the same locations as all the wedding planners islandwide as well as private villas and some great private estates. Plus she offers a location search service where she helps you to find the right location for you based on what you want. I used her location search service to find my wedding location and it was worth it as I got to see a lot of locations that are available islandwide. As a matter of fact you can take a look at her event portfolio on her website Destination Weddings, Weddings In Jamaica, Wedding Planner In Jamaica, Getting Married In Jamaica. All the Best and Good Luck!!
  8. Hi, I have been dealing with Helen G Events for my wedding in Jamaica June 2011 and so far I have had a wonderful experience. Before I started working with her I requested references which was readily provided and have heard nothing but good responses and have seen other reviews online and they were all good. What I have learned for requesting quotes from other planners and locations is this that Helen states upfront that she charges a fee, whatever it is but for everyone else they build it into the package cost or items so you are paying a fee anyway, it’s just that you don’t know how much. Further I have seen pictures in her event portfolio and from her references and the quality of her work cannot compare to anyone else so far the only décor that could compare its Tai Flora and they are way above my budget. Thirdly her response time and addressing all my concerns is phenomenal and for that I will pay anything. Fourthly I have heard horror stories are some of these very vendors being mentioned not being able to deliver come event day. Fifthly I am unable to go to Jamaica before my wedding and she has even done a table mock up for me with the centerpiece and linens I want free of charge and has emailed me the pictures also with alternate looks. This was invaluable. Other clients I have spoken to flew in to meet her and did their table settings and tastings free of charge and were happy. Some of us will get what we pay for, I have heard of centerpieces and décor being priced cheaply and when you see it, it’s a lot of cheap flowers and cheap looking linens being used. She goes in depth to even ask what type of flowers we don’t like etc. As far as I am concerned her pricing has been fair based on what I want and based on the references and work and service I have received so far and I feel very confident about her and think its worth it and I know she will deliver come my wedding day. Her only issue is that she has been honest enough to state her fee upfront and even her contract states she doesn’t take kickbacks from vendors for referring their services or using them. For this I applaud her. I have peace of mind. Thanks Helen G
