Hi MissLaura11, I'm TJ, but I signed in using my Facebook account, so it's using a different name. My wedding is October 2013. I'm currently at about 37 people and only 40 are included in my package. Additional people are $10.50US per person. I was a bit upset because in the original document that I received, it said that a private reception is mandatory for groups of 60+ but now they're telling me it's 40+...so I may have to pay for a private reception, which was not budgeted... They are willing to accommodate me, up to 45 people. Between the vendors fees and changes from the initial documents, I am getting a tad irritated. For example, it says in the document that the disco can be rented for 4 hours (until 10pm) for $650. Since my dinner is from 6-8, I was wondering if it was the same price for only two hours and I was told that the rental is $650 for 2 hours and not 4. Totally goes against the original information that I was given. Ahhh well... Yes, it is a shame that my parents cant make it but they had planned a trip from Canada to Australia and New Zealand well before I decided to get married in Jamaica and therefore have no more vacation time left at work. It's ok. We will legally be married in Canada first and they will be here for that. How are your plans going? I am not sure about the cart and I'm scared to ask the cost of the bonfire, seeing as how my budget keeps being blown out of the ballpark!

I actually just ended up booking one of our friends. Flying him down cost the same as hiring someone down there and this way, we have him for the entire week

Who did you go with in the end Susad2000?

Thanks KDoyle! Marcia actually just contacted me with a great offer. She's definitely at the top of my list. I really had my heart set on SAAB but vendors fees are killing my budget!

I booked EliteMedia but I'm now on a real tight budget for the photographer because of vendors fees. Anyone have any inexpensive suggestions?

Can anyone send me photos of their Riu Mo Bay wedding? Also what was your experience with vendors fees? If there is one thing that I am very displeased with, it is the external vendor fees!
