So 54 days until my wedding....and the chaos has begun!  I'm just wondering if anyone has been previously told that there is a minimum number of 25 people for the gazebo reception?  I have had the gazebo booked since March 2011 and my guest numbers have always been quoted to Donnalee as 10-22 people.  Now we're looking at 16 which is right in the middle!  I have submitted all of my paper work (months ago!) which also quotes that number and have confirmed the gazebo reception at least 10 times because I really didn't want my wedding to end after the dinner and really didn't want to drag my guests to the hotel disco.  

 

So I emailed Donnalee just to confirm the price of the bartender as I've been quoted 3 different numbers per person and am tidying up last minute details.  And low and behold, I get an email back today saying that the gazebo can't be rented for less than 25 people!  How has this never been brought up before?  I'm not sure why they care as I'm still paying the flat rate of $500 for the gazebo + DJ.  

 

Please let me know if anyone else has heard anything?  I've already emailed both Donnalee and Chandyln back and am about to lose my mind here.....not sure if I should start calling or what....

From what I just read in someones post, you can just take the beer from all of your fridges and ask them to stock up the beer in your hotel room with JUST beer a few days prior.. that way you can stockpile beer and not pay for a bartender.

The photographer that we booked to our wedding also does videography if you are interested, her name is Stacey Clarke and she is easy to find on google. She also has a facebook page if interested. She was originally a videographer and then decided to branch out into photography so from what I understand she is quite good! I hope this helps and good luck in your search.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STACEY IS AMAZING!!.. She's the Sweetest person ever. www.staceyclarkephotography.com Amazingly talented and not expensive at all.

Swimming with the Dolphins in Jamaica usually happens in Ochie ( ocho Rios) 

Well Ladies.. I made it simple for me.

Im hiring a steel pan band for my procession and for the guests afterwards while we have pictures taken.

and Im buying my own rum and Champagne ( a toast is included in my package) for the Guests to enjoy while they wait for us (lol)

Im trying to make my wedding as Authentic as I can. My Fiances Family is from Jamaica ( we have to ask about the family bringing some "finger foods" as they will be coming from home on the island)

I really hate the fact that we are only allowed 1 bag. Fortunately I have my three kids travelling with me ( mommy can sneak some stuff in their bags) 

Im taking my dress as a Carry-on... and well.. I will have to Jam pack all the rest in my bags.

Isn't there a hotel manager you guys can contact??

Im so mad for all of you.. I'll look for an email.. 

WOW!!! Im so glad that my TA is Dealing with all of this.. I think I would have Cussed out these planners if they screwed up THAT bad on my Wedding Day.. Oh My Jesus... Im angry just reading all of this. 

I would CC the two ladies together so they both get the damned emails. Its sounds like they are giving everyone the run around!!

So much for a gift/tip?? I know I wouldn't bother.. Im paying 1950 for LESS headaches to do a destination wedding.. seems like its more from these convo's.

Good luck Ladies!!

Don't forget.. IN THE SNOW!!

esp in Calgary when its almost -40 in March.. LOL

ACW - I honestly felt this way too. Its harder to do what Im about to say.. RELAX. 

Its JAMAICA! If people don't want to attend then thats their problem, If you have enough for your group rate then its time to put up your feet and just take in the joys of being engaged. 

Believe me, this isn't my first Rodeo. Ive been married before and its best to not freak out. (not saying you are, but I know I did)

Winery in Ontario?!! REALLY? Don't bother. This wedding is for YOU and YOUR FI.. anyone else is a bonus, and who doesn't want to watch a wedding in paradise. Group Rate or not your wedding with be fantastic and beautiful. 

Why bother spending 15,000.00 plus for ONE DAY for people your barely know ( or don't want to know LOL) when you can put that money to use somewhere else? 

The ones that Cancelled with Regret it when your laying on the beach sipping your pina colada's and they aren't. You never know, you might have some last minute people hop on the reservation list, you might not.

Destination Weddings aren't worth the stress.. Have a glass of Wine, The more stressed you are, the more stressed the men get.. 

THANKS LADIES!!!

I really needed to hear it from someone besides myself that It looks great.

All of my Family is in Ontario and couldn't experience this special time of picking out the dress.. Thanks so much!!
