We got our group rated like 7 months ago. 

Kevan is our dj too..i've read nothing but good things about him.

As for make up artist it;s going to be Rashel.

best wedding ever if i can help anyone please ask.

for some reason i can post pic's lol

but i'll email them to you.

i actually was talking to debbie at first but when i went to see the flowers in person, it wasn't what i thought it would be.

and  judy from bloombridal is soo easy to work with and i love what she did with my flowers.

p.s i think judy was cheaper for me.

i cant download the pics as im not over 100 posts yet.. i feel like i live on this site but for some reason im not even at 50 posts!! lol

can u actually post the pics or be able to email them to me ???

 

I just met with Debbie from Enchanted memories last week..  She showed me a bouquet she was sending out that dat and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!

She just sent me a pic of the flowers we discussed held in her hand to see if i like it.. and im not feeling it so looking for some other ideas and inspiration!

I was going to go with mango callas, white flat orchids and yellow orchisd... but i dont like the look of the yellow orchids!

so now thinking of maybe just a mango calla lilly bouquet

 

 

 

 

we got for GPLH $1500.

with the travel agent and without the travel it would of been $1700

My cousin booked 2 weeks ago and she paid $1450 so i dont think the price droped my much.

I've been checking out this site for a while now but this is my first post! I figured since many of you will have already gone through the booking process that this may be the best place to pose my question.

 

My fiance and I are looking for a place in Montego Bay to get married the week of March 23-30, 2013 and we are having a really tough time trying to find a resort for under $1700 which isn't awful. I fell in love with the GPJ and GPLH, and the rates for booking this resort online were very reasonable ($1,700 and under for a week consistently from now until next year). Unfortunately our group rates that we have been quoted are AWFUL. Toronto to Montego Bay for a week has ranged from $2,299 to $2,422 for the week we are looking at. I'm really at a point where I'm not sure what to do next with this, as we don't have flexibility for changing the dates. What I'd like to know is:

 

- did anyone have better luck with pricing having their guests book online?

 

- did anyone find the group rates dropped closer to their wedding (ie - 6 months or less before)?

 

- If I'm totally out of my price point with thinking this hotel could ever be under $1,700 are there any other nice hotels which could be suggested within this price point?

 

Thanks so much!!

It needs some fitting around the top where it is to big, but I love it. Now I need to decide what to do with my hair. Up, down, side pony, veil/ flower?? No idea - time to move to the hair forum....But I do love the dress! Can't wait until it's tailored & we are on the beach with professional photos!

 

 

 

are the acrylic tumblers insulated??
