Hi, @@jjbrown

 

I also sent you a PM for the contact info for Donna Dally your florist.

 

Thanks!

 

Is anyone else using outside vendors that you'd recommend?

 

I just messaged you

Hi @@jjbrown,

Yeah, I asked about prices for the things she sent me in the packet and they were ridiculously priced, so we decided to bring many thing ourselves too. My reception will be on the decks and I still need lighting, good thing I asked, or else who knows if they would have told me. What company are you using?

@@tiffanyt The florist we're using is actually supplying our dance floor and the lights (so we can only pay 1 vendor fee). Her name is Donna Dally Floral Design PM if you want her contact info. I'll post tons of pictures when i have the ceremony.

Hi brides,

I'm interested in buying a wally bag. Let me know if you're selling one. My wedding is in August so anyone selling before that would be terrific.

Thanks,

Joesie 

Hi everyone,

I will be getting married on Aug 20 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. I wanted to know if anyone was have a wedding in Aug and planning on leaving any of their wedding items. I'm willing to pay.

Thanks J

@@jjbrown Do you know about the cost for extras? I'm trying to figure out if it would make sense to use their bouquets for my bridesmaids or bring preserved flowers imstead?

Hi Tiffany,

I'm not sure about the flowers. I will be using an outside vendor my sister found. It ends up being cheaper than Tai Flora even with the Vendor fee. You should ask to see pictures of their bouquets. 

Please know if you are having your wedding inside the ballroom you will need to pay for a dancefloor and lighting as it is dark. Also, decorations will add up. We will end up bringing a lot of it ourselves.

@@jjbrown Another note about Julienne, while I was there I asked if they do airbrush makeup in the spa and she said yes. However, during my makeup trial I was told that was not the case. I was pretty frustrated about that.

Do you know who you'll use for makeup. I'm still in the air about it. I don't think I want to use the Hotel.

I am so glad this was created. I am getting married on 8/20/2016. I will be having a small group of 30 on the rooftop for the ceremony and in the ballroom for the reception (it's too hot to be outside in Aug).

I wanted to know about the dj. I know this can make or break the atmosphere so if anyone has used the hotel dj please let me know. 

@@Kcusack89 Congrats how was your wedding?

Hi @@jjbrown,

I just got back from the site visit and it was wonderful. I do have a question for you though, were the prices quoted inclusive or exclusive of taxes? The wedding coordinator, Julianne said that the price of the MC she quite us did not include the 16.5% tax and I didn't think about it until later, but what about all the other charges, are they wi or without tax?

That's a great questions @@TiffnyT I'm going to ask my wedding coordinator to ask Julianne.

I'm personally not feeling Julianne's attitude but I'll make the most of it.

Will you be doing the chivary chairs from Hyatt or renting it elsewhere? I'm trying to decide what's cost effective since the vendor fee is $500.

Any updates on the Appleton contact?

This is a great idea. I will be at the Hyatt in Montego Bay Aug 20th. If any brides would like to donate anything or if anyone will need anything please let me know.

Not sure where you are getting married but if you are getting married in Jamaica then check out the Bung Guh Lhung band : https://www.reverbnation.com/bungguhlhung

 

I know Secrets Wild Orchid uses them as their Reggae band for weddings and a few SWO brides on here that had a reggae band said they were very good. They play a mix of contemporary/popular songs as well as traditional reggae.

 

Also check out youtube as there a lots of videos of Bung Guh Lhung singing and performing so it will give you a good idea if they are right for your group.

 

Good Luck!

Thank you so much @@2ndTimeMrs

Hi everyone, Happy New Year!  We would really like to hire a reggae band to play at  our reception.  However, not everyone in our group is familiar with reggae music so we would prefer a band that could do reggae covers of popular songs.  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @@tiffanyt, first off congrats. Please let me know how you're wedding goes. I have booked the Hyatt for August.

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Taking advantage of this in January. My fiancé and I love this resort based on what we have read and the pictures we have seen. My travel agent just got back from the Montego Bay location and she said it's beautiful! I can't wait to finally see it in person!
