Okay ladies .. just let me know what you think ... So for our dinner and reception we are planning on renting out the Piscis restaurant which is exactly what we want to do. I confirmed this with Donnalee a million times just to make sure that its in my file that that is what we want to do. As of right now including us there is 25 people coming .. and still a possibility of more before the wedding in June BUT i doubt enough people to meet there 45 ppl minimum to rent out the restaurant. We are doing the free package, so after 16 ppl its $20 per person. Now with the restaurant if were paying the $1700 to rent it out I don't see why it matters how many ppl we have there, but since they say it does I'm wondering how their even gonna know how many ppl are actually there anyway. We really want to rent it out, so if its a money issue then we dont mind paying the extra $20 per person so say we have 45 ppl. But, I'm just nervous that when we get there and we dont have the 45 people and they dont care that we would still pay as if we did, that at that point I'm gonna have an even bigger issue as far as not having a place all set for dancing and things like that. What should I do?! Take the chance of going there to still see if we can do the Piscis restaurant, or just be honest with them now and set up a different plan for dinner and reception? Did I mention we still realllllllly want the Piscis restaurant tho? lol Ugh! I'm just ready to get to Jamaica, be married, and have all this planning over with! haha =)

Thankkk you JayKay .. I think I got the key card holder idea from reading one of your posts anyway lol =)

Gotta question for the PAST BRIDES .. are the room keys just standard (credit card) size? And do they have a hole in them to attach a lanyard or something? Im trying to get my welcome bags together and def want to add room key holders. Thanks so much for your help! =)

Hello ladies, Just wanted to know where you all got the guys linen (or similar to linen) suits from??? Ive heard studio suits so far, any other options?? Also ... for any of the brides heading to GBP sometime soon I was wondering if I could get any of you to take some pics of the area at the outside Piscis restaurant. I have pictures of how its set up where the tables are, but not of the place as a whole. If any of you do .. thanks soooooo much! =) p.s. thanks so much for the salon info!

HEY PAST BRIDES!!!! This may have been answered awhile back .. Im not sure, but for those of you that used the Spa at the resort for your hair, around how much were their services??? I remember reading a while ago that they did a great job. Im trying to put the budget all in order, so any info would be great! Thanks so much! =)

Hey ladies .. Well I was about to send the deposit until I thought the same thing. I actually just got ripped off by a seller in china (for something not wedding related) and lost $65 and there's nothing I can do about it! Ugh! This also happened the same day my car got broken into .. Sooooo needless to say I was having a horrible day and thought to myself .. I'm NOT sending money to anyone without proper documents. He told me the same thing about how the invoice would be redone after the deposit .. But I told him I wanted it now .. So I got something a little more legit .. So then I sent over my 40%. By no means do I think he is going to rip me off .. I just think it's because he's "up and coming" and not as established compared to other business owners. BUT it's always better to be safe then sorry

FYI .. If anyone is looking for a photographer, we just booked ours. His name is Roan Robinson. He is out of Negril (but does travel throughout Jamaica) and is an "up and coming" photographer so his prices are pretty decent compared to the others. His website is roanphotography.com So far he has been great through email and when requesting information on prices and everything else. I have high hopes for our day =)

Hi ladies, so I was thinking the same thing. My fi and I are getting married in Jamaica in June 2012 .. But I was thinking to save the legal trouble we should legally get married before we go. My only issue is that I'm afraid it won't feel the same on our wedding day in June .. Like it's taking the importance out of getting married .. Ahhh so torn because I don't know how I will feel :confused:

HI brides!! Gotta question .. So far I have 30 people coming, possibly more. What package did you all do? Also, is there a free package, and if so what are the details with that? I know I would have to pay separately for the minister fees, but anything else? Just wondering if you girls know the details and what the best thing is to do.
