i got married here in April 2011. It was beautiful. We have 35 guests and i paid for ALOT of upgrades. We got married right on the beach, I had steel drum band, arch with shells coming down, cocktails followed in gazebo. then we had dinner on the beach (for everyone, expensive but beautiful), Food was fantastic, we had the pink lanterns and I added my own pink dinner cards and pink sachets with candy for favours, just to pink up the tables. i didn't like the pink butterfly decor option but I did use the pink butterflies on cupcakes. everything was very nice. but the 'add on" were a killer. we wanted cushions on our seats, paid for that, we did the sand ceremony (with two kids so we all had wanted a different colour, had to pay for each different coloured sand!!). i upgraded my flowers to the pink roses, beautiful. I love REAL flowers. w e also did a flower presentation to parents, a jamaican tradition to honour your parents. I opted for the flower presentation and sand ceremony to add some length to the regular ceremony (which was the perfect length by the way). i didn't want it to by over too fast. pm me so i can send you more pics, takes too long on here. the evening goes by really fast, you are on a time schedule. we paid the DJ extra after our 2 hours was up, because we were having so much fun. we did our dinner on beach, down by the covered reception area so when it rained (and it did rain for us:( we had another spot to dance. my personal opinion, do what is important to you, in the end doesn't matter a whole lot, goes by fast, but i paid in excess of $6000 and all of my guests felt really special. My wedding was not cookie-cutter, like many of the weddings, you pay for the extra touches. the staff is really great, make friends with them before your wedding, we had the dj (mikel and fabriella the wedding coordinator dance with us and sing with us). it is what you make it.
