  1. Im getting married April 9th at Sandals Grande Rivieria!!!

    We are just inviting parents, so I think we will just venture to one of the many onsite restuarants for dinner after the 30 minute reception. Honestly, not blown away by the seated dinner options, and just find it silly to spend the extra $$ when we are at an AI! I also like that it will give our parents an option to choose their own dinner

    Has anyone else done this? Suggestions on which restuarant? Im leaning towards Bayside or Reef Terrance.

    I agree with you. I did my wedding at Sandals  Whitehouse  on June 7,2014. I went with free hot and cold horsey divers..(lol), added additonal 30 min to  and did dj for music. My ceremony was at 4pm and we took pictures after, while everyone was having signature cocatails, etc. Then we started reception, after reception we all chose restaurant and went and ate together, that way people could choose whatever they wanted and as much as they wanted. was awesome.

  2. hi, congrats on you upcoming nuptial, i didn't get married at sgr, but did get married this past june in jamaica at sandals whitehoue

     

    No maam, you have to send notarized copies of your birth certificates prior to arrival in jamaica, there is a address of where they will need to be mailed, they need to be mailed and cannot be faxed , the notary seal has to be valid beyond the date of your wedding. if either of you have been married, will need to sen d copy of  divorce decree and all pages need to be notarized.(  these are things i know because they came back as error for us for documents needed) you need to do this immediatley. once the documents are recieved, they will send you email from preplanner and wc that necessary documents are recieved to process your license. 

     i started out with smallest package, but when i wnet to select ones we wanted for package we paid for.. they were so awesome we ended up getting more

    3. we did free wedding and added a few different things, so  i did what's called modified complimentary package

     i did hr long, so paid for 30 min addtional for reception, did dj fo r 1 hr(they typically play a little longer) and then we all (all  25 of us) went to restaurant on site and had dinner together(rather than pay for seated meal and still not have enough)

    i didn't have butler suite at all, steam for dress is 75.00. i bought a  travel steamer from marshalls for  like $20.00 and took to use for clothes period and earlier that day let dress hang in shower with steam... not a wrinkle in sight. lol

     4. when i booked the 500.00 jewelry credit was not optional, but use it for whatever you like, my hubby has 3 bands, one custom one that i bought and had made for him, a very nice tungsten one with woodgrain inlay(can get from ebay for 15.00(beautiful) we took that one instead of custom one, althogh we have insurance on our rings, wanted to make sure even if fell in water, we wre good.

  3. congrats on your engagement, we did ours at Sandals Whitehouse and it was amazing. we chose there because all the rooms were ocean view, so noone had gto upgrade to have view of ocean and all have private balconies, loved it. www.sandals.com/whitehouse


    Hi ladies! I haven't seen any posts about arch or gazebo ceremony decor, so I thought I'd try to get it started. 

     

    What are your plans?

  4. good morning ladies, although I am not  a 2015 bride, I  am however a Jamaica bride(we girls gotta stick together no matter what year) lol. My wedding is June 7, 2014 at Sandals Whitehouse. we were able to do sandals, because we didn't have any children attending so it worked for us. my biggest with them was all the great inclusions that I get/got from them and I truly, truly love , love, love, did I mention I love the property.Because they also have a themed night every night, it also gives my guest lots of things to do onsite and slop party everynight on resort.Since I'm so close I'm pretty much done with everything. if anyone needs any help/ideas, let me know, i'll do all I can. for my gifts/favors I did several things.  for my pre wedding dinner, I'm giving a gift bags(custom kraft bag) inside I did double wall tumbler with custom label on it, inside tumbler I'm putting margarita pack with custom label on it. I'm giving key card holder with lanyard, a thank you card, a custom cd, and I made door hangers,one side says "please do  not disturb, we are resting for trevor and Kellie's wedding, flip side "please do not disturb we are recovering from Trevor and kellie's wedding". On the table for reception I did message in a bottle thank you's.
