Are you planning to do your cocktail hour AND reception on the beach? That's what I'm planning for at the moment. We'll see if I change my mind as things get closer!
I'm planning to use the beach (not the Casita) and have them set up a bamboo structure that they'll drape with fabrics I plan to purchase in my colors. The Secrets WC sent me a doc with wedding pictures of various upgrades so this is what I'm using to go off of for now.
Hi alexisinjamaica! I wanted to thank you for posting the above. We are definitely in preliminary stages of planning, and Secrets Wild Orchid is in my top two. However, I wasn't so impressed with the Casita, so its good to know there is a beach option available. Are you still using the bamboo structure? And did you find out if the beach area is secluded? Thank you

Wow, I'm so sorry this happened. What unprofessionalism on Lauren's part...but I'm so glad you had someone to officiate so you could have the ceremony.

Your pictures are beautiful...thank you for sharing!!

But the best advice I have gotten and am now giving is remember this:
It shouldn't be all about the wedding...it's about the marriage!
I think sometimes people get so caught up in the excitemnt of planning the wedding they forget that its only one day...the marriage is hopefully for a lifetime!
I think your advice about ultimately...it's about the marriage...is so on point. I know a lot of people who do get lost in planning the wedding and forget the bigger picture of everthing.

Congratulations!

I'm glad I found this thread...Rashel's work is wonderful! But I do see she books up quickly so I will definitely make it a note to reach out to her sooner than later.

Thank you for sharing the link. I just wanted to make sure, did you apply for the license after the wedding in addition to what Iberostar sent in after your wedding, or did you simply take care of everything on your own?

Best advice receieved thus far:
Don't let your friends and family stress you out with their opinions and expectations. It's your day and the only two people who matter are the Bride and Groom.
Wow! I'm sorry no one used the good postage you sent. I guess it's a waste to keep things formal these days?

Hello Friends & Family!
By now you should have received our save the date and invitation to our upcoming wedding in Jamaica. I know RSVPing and booking a hotel room is probably the last thing on your mind right after the craziness of the holiday season, but as we're only a few months away we wanted to reach out and see if you'll be able to join us.
Our wedding will be Saturday, April 27th at Secrets St. James http://www.secretsresorts.com/stjames/index.asp. We are working with a travel agent to book a block of rooms for wedding guests (at no extra cost to you) and since we will be getting a lower group rate, she needs a final headcount and payment for the hotel by February 22nd, 2013. In case any of you were unaware of that date, we thought it might be a good idea to reach out and let you know. We made the RSVP date a month prior to account for this, but we haven't heard from you so we're going slightly stalker and contacting you directly. You're welcome/we're sorry.
We realize Jamaica is a long way from here and that not everyone will be able to make it. That's OK! We totally understand! But if you could be so kind as to let us know either way if we should expect you, either by replying to this email, sending a text, posting a Facebook message, sending a homing pigeon or dropping the RSVP card in the mail (we even put a stamp on it for you already!) that would be delightful.
Our website has a lot more info: https://alexisandjoseph.modwedding.com/ http://alexisandjoseph.modwedding.com/site/pages/153951 and Joe and I are always here should you have any additional questions!
Much love,
Alexis and Joe
Thanks for sharing and your website is very nice!

Well, I think we will probably lean more towards a hotel. I'm liking Secrets Wild Orchid or Iberostar Grand....but I have time to look at each and every hotel in Jamaica to overwhelm myself with options! lol Just kidding...but like you said, a lot of decisions. Thank you!

Is Dwayne Watkins reasonably priced (if you don't mind my asking)? His pictures are so good, it just looks like we'd pay an arm and a leg!

I unfortunately can not answer, but have the same question. It may be worth reaching out to Couples to get an accurate answer.

Hello Ladies,
Forgive me if this has been answered (still trying to get through most of the thread), but what made most of you decide to have your wedding at Iberostar Grand? I think I'm overwhelmed with the many choices for location in Jamaica, so maybe your answers will help. Thank you

Thank you so much! Sometimes it takes some tough situations to make us realize what we need and what's best for us. But I have to say, the pictures you posted are gorgeous!!

Thank you (and sorry if that was posted previously, still reading through the thread). Your set up will be very pretty! And I can definitely see having a reception near the Casita (it looks like there's an open sand area next to it). By the way, congratulations!
