    Can you help me planning my Wedding Day timeline?

    in General Wedding Planning Information

    Posted

    Hi AllieH,

     

    Thank you for your reply. So the ceremony will last about 15 minutes, the signing last about 10 minutes. If i am doing sand ceremony or some sort of ceremony, maybe another 5- 10 minutes, so I don't think the ceremony last more than 35 minutes. The dock of the cruise is actually inside the resort, so I assume at most 10 minutes to walk there from the ceremony location. The wedding planner is kind enough to have the cruise leaving from 5pm instead of 4:30pm. 

     

    I dont think I will host the 1 hour reception another day, because the resort is offering me a pre-celebration/ rehersal welcome dinner as well which will take place the first or second we we arrive. 

     

    I am not sure how big the cruise is, but the planner said that it can host about 100 people so it is pretty big, my group is about 30. There should be space to dance but i am not sure how comfortable we are dancing on the cruise without practice. However, the bride /groom entrance to the cruise is quite cool though i have seen some photos.

     

    so maybe

     

    3:00 Ceremony

    3:30 - 3:50 - group photos

    3:50 - 4:50 - 1 hour reception with hot and cold hors d'oeuvres, entrance, dances here? or speeches here? 

    4:50 - 5:00 docking the boat - inside the boat, change to another gown? 

    5:00- 7:00 sunset catamaran cruise - dance? more speeches perhaps? ... 

    7:00 - 8:30 - change, have dinner in resort restaurant (split)

    9:00 resort pub - dance through the night 

     

     

     

    what do you or other girls think here? 

    Can you help me planning my Wedding Day timeline?

    Hi there, I am trying to put bits and pieces together, if I can get you girls help, that would be great. 

     

    My ceremony is at 3pm 

     

    I am doing a cruise reception at 4:30 for 2 hours. There will be DJ and cold hors d’ouevres are provided

     

    Docking back at 6:30

     

    Resort is offering me a private 1 hour cocktail reception for 1 hours with hot and cold hors d’ouevres . 

     

    so my questions are, where should i cut my wedding cake, where do i do the bride/groom entry (probably at the cruise), where do i do the first dance, speeches....? Also, I think guests will not be full after the 1 hour private reception, so I am thinking to go to the resort restaurant and have dinner ( we may have to sit separately because my group is about 30 ppl) then head to the resort late night bar to drink and dance more for the young people.                                 

     

    Do you girls have any suggestion on what goes in what order? Should i move the 1 hour reception before the boat cruise? but then the sun sets at 6:30 in jamaica, it will be so nice cruising through sunset during 4:30 to 6:30. 

     

    anything helps! wink.gif

    Hiring a photographer, offering 5 days 4 nights Stay + Air Fares, Jamaica - ideal for those who want to fill their portfolios.

    Hi, my fiance and I are getting married April 2014 at Sandals Montego Bay, due to Sandal's strict policy on hiring a outsider vendor and their outrageous price, we have decided to fly our own photographer. This opportunity is perfect for photographer who is an experienced amature or professional who want to fill their portfolios with a destination sun and beach wedding.

     

    You will be compensated with a 5 days 4 nights stay at Sandals Montego Bay plus Airfares both ways.

     

    Here are few things that I am looking for:

    1) You must have an established portfolios to show us online

     

    2) female photographer, the reason for this is Sandals does not allow single room, you will be staying with one of my female guests on a King size bed, Sandals only offer King size bed.

    OR you could bring a friend or husband/wife, but he/she would be responsible for the stay and airfares

     

    3) preferred if you can speak Chinese, my wedding group is Asian and my parents only speaks Chinese so I would prefer if someone can communicate with them. However, this is just a plus not necessary.

     

    Wedding: April 16 -20, 2014

     

    If you are interested or if someone you know who might be interested, please message me or send me a email at [email protected]

     

    We can then discuss the details of the sessions.

     

    Thanks

One photographer quoted me 1800 for 7 hrs but through Sandals the charge for the same photographer is 2800 for only 4 hours.

     

     

    wow that's super expensive, have you figured out a solution yet?
