Also, this post talks about the same thing. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/80240/sunset-catamaran-cruise-instead-of-sitting-dinner-reception It sounds like they use something to transport but it is still two feet.. (I am 5 ft tall so I would have been soaked in my poofy dress)

We were in our swimsuits and did get very wet. We opted to not do the cruise because I had read this from previous people. I did see them load the food on by a little kayak type thing but I do not know if they have a different way to get guests on other than walking.

Hi Ladies. We did not have the catamaran reception but did take a cruise. It was a lot of fun, but there is quite a walk through water to get on board. It definitely came up to at least my waist so just keep that in mind! Have a great time.

Hi, We got married 11.17, and it was very hot. I heard it can get cool at night but not while we were there. As for rain, the last (7th) day we were there it rained. Mostly from what I was told by my coordinator is that there are afternoon showers which do not last long, but we did not encounter any during our stay.

Hi ladies, I was married at beaches negril in november..here is an actual photo taken by the photog. We had an amazing experience with everything. They tried to make us do some cheesy poses but were cool when we said exactly what we wanted. They aim to please

I love my pups! They are my babies. I love all the pics and just looked through every page of this thread...makes me want a third!! My Papillon Monte Ollie, the Schnoodle (when he needed a grooming

Hi! I wish I could help with the Canadian part, but here in the US you can of course keep your designation. I am also a PhD (well, almost and changing your last name does not affect the credentials behind your name or Dr. in front. Good luck and I understand completely wanting to ensure there is no problems there!

We are doing the 3 hr private reception and getting a DJ for the reception and contemplating getting the Steel Drum Band for the cocktail hour, but it is so pricey! We keep going back and forth on this.

I had my convo with Chloe about a month ago. Best advice is go through the forums and write down all of your questions. She will go through everything step by step and ask what you would like (reception, flowers, etc) so have all of that in mind. It took about 30 minutes, and I got to ask everything on my mind. She was really sweet and helpful and did not try to push anything. Once you are done, she will send you an iteminzed "bill" though nothing is set..it is just an idea. She also sends pics of the garden and beach. Once we decide on the final things we want, I will email her the changes to the bill. It was very nice and stress-free. She makes you feel at ease so don't worry; it will be great! After the call, I was even more excited!! Good Luck

Just saw this thread: beaches in turks and caicos closed indefinitely due to norovirus..thought it might be better here http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/80273/beaches-in-turks-and-caicos-closed-indefinitely-due-to-norovirus

Don't shoes just make you happy?! These will be my beach wedding shoes.

Hi Ladies, I was just browsing the forums and getting super excited. Just checking in on all of the Beaches Negril Brides and seeing how planning is going. Also, those that just returned, can you give us some little teasers on how things were to keep us going! Happy planning

Hi ladies! Getting married in November in Jamaica...living in West U area. Any of you other brides from Jamaica do you legal ceremony there? If so, did you have any problems registering in Harris county or anything? Thanks!!

Hi Ladies! Is anyone else having trouble with guests wanting to book at resorts other than Beaches/Sandals to save money? I am not sure how to handle this because $100 day passes will really add up but I don't want to force people to stay at Beaches/Sandals Negril either! Thanks

There is vistaprint groupon today ($17 for $70). I found it as groupon Baton Rouge's featured deal.

I am very partial to dress number 1 because it looke exactly the one I just bought Saturday for me You look gorgeous!!

Hi! We are doing Beaches Negril since my FH sis is 15 and then moving to Sandals Negril for a few days. I am going shopping for dresses first time tomorrow so I know how you feel! We will get it all done...one of my favorite things is everything is just sort of taken care for me so I have been focusing on fun stuff like reception music and OOT bags You will find a dress and it will be a perfect day!

I completely understand how you feel. We have several single friends that we will allow to bring guests. Our opinion is that it is the least we can do for people paying to come all the way to our wedding. We are doing the sit down dinner which is extra per person, but I can't say no to anyone who comes all that way. It is a tough decision, but always remember it is your day

I did everything myself and booked both our parents and that's it. I did not want to block a group of rooms for fear of getting stuck with the bill if they are not all booked. So with our invitations, we put a little instruction sheet on how to book, etc. There is a group code people can use, and so they can come for how long they wish. So far, we have guests coming anywhere from 3 to 7 days so I am glad I did not try to take care of this for everyone. Good luck!

You definitely have plenty of time. We got engaged in April and have our date set for November. We are getting married because it was the cheapest place to fly for us. I was pleasently surprised how many people were excited for our choice, but we do know that not everyone we would have at a wedding here will be able to come...that is sort of the trade off, but it's our day. Once I picked a country, I chose a resort. I did not use a travel agent and did not want to block off rooms for a group contract (other ladies on here will tell you about getting stuck with that bill). So, what we did is send out a group code so people can book the dates/length of time they choose. We chose an AI but we are certainly open to guests staying somewhere cheaper if it works for them. Good luck!
