Congrats! but wish i could see the pics... they are long expired.... lol

Love the pics!! Brian did a great job and cant wait to see what he does with us in April!

very nice pics! Congrats

@@Megg Sorry for the delayed response...lol So glad we did not have to get that stupid tent! lol How are your plans going?

@@abullard1 Could i ask who id your hair at the Renova Spa and who would u recommend?

Getting married at the RIU Montego Bay in April 2015..... I have to make a hair appointment for the wedding day and the WC has sent me 2 email addresses. I have no idea who i should choose.... Divina or Corine? Please help me....any feedback is appreciated.

Good tips!

Beautiful! Just curious as too who did your hair at the Renova Spa?

Weird question but can anyone tell me what the pillows are like on the beds at the RIU Montego Bay?? Last time i was in Jamaica at the Grand Bahia the pillows were like hard little flat lumpy rocks....lol Just want to know if I should bring my own pillow or not?? Brides gotta have her beauty rest!

@@Megg This was christina's response to my email.... As soon as you said something about a tent i sent her an email. Her reply is the purple. "I was reading some blogs and i just wanted to make sure of something.... There is no tent rental fee for the beach party right? just the beach set up fee of $700 right? I do not want a tent.... you had mentioned to me the white sheer draping and lights, and thats perfect for me. You do not have to get a tent. I have not reserved a tent for you" The fee of the tent would have thrown me off too. She had never mentioned anything to me.... but i wanted to ask neways. Right now my guest count is 32 ppl. Good choice on booking Brian! I can't wait to work with him.

@@Megg@Soon2beMrsJ Hi ladies, I have finalized some of my plans, I will be having the semi-private dinner (in the steakhouse) and then a party on the beach. The dinner only has 1 sitting at 6:30-8:30pm and then the beach party is from 8:30-11pm. Staff shift end at 11pm so you cant have the party later than that, if people still want to party to disco opens at 11pm. They said to me that I only have to pay for the beach set up fee which is $700 and they will put up white sheer draping on the trees and white pepper lights, round tables for sitting and an open bar ($15 pp). She never said anything about a tent rental... I've been in contact with Christina. @@Megg How many guests are you having? who have you been talking to at the RIU? I'm having Christina set up a welcome dinner in the main buffet for no extra charge because they just push some tables together and you eat at the buffet. That way the 2 families can get to know each other. I am doing this the day after everyone arrives. I have booked DJ Kevan Stewart - He pays the vendors fee and is one the best in Jamaica. He will be set up on the beach for 2 1/2 hours and he also does the music for the ceremony at no extra cost. He has even thrown in the MC service for free, and I am getting 8 LED lights. Total came to $1030. He emailed me a list to compile of songs for each thing like processional, recessional, bridal party walk down, entrance into reception, first dance, father/daughter...and then favourite artists, fav songs, no plays and things like that. Really nice to work with! I also booked Brian Nejedly for our photography. I looked at all the photographer photos and his style was the one that suited us best. He will be at the resort for 3 hour for: getting ready, ceremony, group shots, portraits of us after. We have also booked him to do our trash the dress the following morning. We have been discussing locations, me and the fiance like old structures so we are going to the Tryall water wheel, and then he mentioned a beautiful beach where the locals go that has a broken rusted boat sticking out of the water. We will get 500+ edited photos!! Total is $1700 - he discounts his prices by $350 for the vendors fee, which is then added onto your wedding bill. I have already made my own bridesmaids bouquets - much cheaper than buying the fresh ones from Tai Flora. I will only be getting my bouquet and my fiances boutonniere for free. Fiance already decided his guys dont need flowers....lol Just some advice - I would not go with the DJ onsite....charges more and you dont get as much variety. Make things as much as you can, but nothing too big. Tai Flora is expensive.... I really hope this helps some of you!!! if you have any questions please feel free to msg me. Also, I am a travel agent so if any brides have questions about locations and where to have your wedding let me know. Talk to you all soon!

Hey i kinda stopped coming on too i have been super busy but i cant wait to tell you all what ive been planning! stay tuned! and @@Megg im getting married April 29th, 2015, you?

thanks for the pics! looks great...im still undecided.

my fiance has a criminal record as well, we are canadian, and have had no trouble travelling to Dominican Republic and Jamaica as long as you fly out of Canada on a non-stop flight (no connections in the USA) you will have no problem! He is also applying for a waiver/pardon so we can fly out of Detroit (closer in proximity to us than Toronto) hope this helps

im definitely doing a welcome dinner!!!

@@Lala052206 Hey im getting married at the RIU montego bay April 2015. The official photographer for the RIU starting Jan. 1, 2015 is SAAB Weddings/Excite photos. They have sent me all their package info and prices if you would like it i could email it to you... It seems like they are better priced than bring in an outside vendor. Im sure you could have your first dance whenever u like... after the ceremony or after dinner.... If you have ne questions let me know. I'm doing the semi-private dinner but then getting them to do the set up on the beach for a party and thats when we will do our dances... hope this helps

makes me want to watch some wedding movies

you can just google image them...lol stupid web script

for sure doing the mini-beach balls! thats the best idea ive heard in a while!
