I decided to go with Tai Flora Ocho Tios because of their responsiveness in comparison to other rental conpanies on the island. What a disaster! Ms Wisdom per her email decided to select which flowers for me despite me sending her dozens of inspirational images. The reception should have been set up by three but even at 6pm the flowers weren't even on the table. They were painting the Queen Anne"s white table the morning of which caused the caterers not to be able to set the table till late. On top of me and my guests having to deal with a sticky table top from being recently painted. The shade of purple was incorrect in the flowers and despite repeatedly telling her tropical and that I did not want a roses and hydrangeas centerpiece that's what she made. Smh. But the disaster didn't stop there. I asked for a white dance floor what I got wasn't white and was buckling in one area a guest tripped and hurt themselves. The sweetheart chair she sent me a picture of and I told her I did t like.. What did I get? The same sweetheart chair.. Then we come to my phals bouquet which somehow ended up having hydrangeas in it. Never once did I tell her nor the pictures state that I wanted hydrangeas. But her final response to was she doesn't go based on pictures but on what she feels the bride"s budget can afford. Well I think she gave us $3000 worth for the $9000 we spent!

Hi ladies!! My Fiance and I are getting married at the IRHB on January 17, 2017! I have seen some photos of the different ceremony locations but mostly of the Beach ceremony. Has anyone been married on the terrace or in the gardens with photos? I would love to see them as my fiance and I dont feel like stomping around in the sand but want the romance of the gardens perhaps.... Also, we are opting on a private restaurant for dinner and the pictures I have seen are also very difficult to tell what sort of decorations I could bring / use without the place looking silly. Is there enough room for a dance floor and DJ as well as all of the guests and dinner tables!? I am beginning to stress as I just want to be able to see what everything looks like set up!!

I was married on 10/2/2015 at Secrets Montego Bay. I'd like to provide comments and/or answer any questions for all you anxious Montego Bay Brides to be. First of all the wedding coordinators at Wild Orchid at very good at what they do. My wedding turned out to be better than I imagined and/or planned. So I had planned to have my ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception outside on the beach using the Beach Casita area. On the morning of my wedding it rained like crazy!!! At that point I had prayed more than I could, worried more than I should and I figured there was nothing else left to do. So I just was like "Oh Well" Anyway as the morning went on it cleared up a bit with a slight overcast. My wedding was scheduled for 4pm, and at able 130 or 2pm, Samone the wedding coordinator called me to tell me that the wedding ceremony would still be at the casita, however, my ceremony is being moved to the Seaside restaurant/grill because of the weather. As some of you might know, their policy is that they will not and can not close a restaurant just to host your reception. Well they did for me. And it was perfect!!!!! So many of you on this site told me to trust their wedding coordinators and you were right. Although at times there is lack of communication and/or understanding they really seem to know what they are doing. In addition to the live band that came with the cocktail hour, I added the DJ. It was DJ BLUE. He was the best!!! It was just perfect. He conducted the whole reception and it was perfect ( and cute!!!) LOL.. I will add that I also used their sound system for the ceremony. I don't think that was worth it. The coordinators did tell me that because I was getting the DJ for the ceremony, they would let me use the sound system for the ceremony. Well their sound system didn't have a microphone, and my bro in law operated it and he said his karaoke machine at home worked better than that. However, it did allow me to come down the aisle on my selections. That's the one down side of my ceremony, while the officiant was talking and making us laugh throughout the ceremony. My guests say they couldn't hear anything at all. So sometime today, I'm going to try upload some pics on here. I used their photographer and videographer. And I'm satisfied with their work. Of course compared to some pics I've seen on here, they didn't match up to them, However, the pics does capture the moments, I'd like to remember with decent quality. So I'll just say for the price for SECRETS Ultimate package, I think I got my money worth and am satisfied. I opted not to do a lot of additions with décor, because I felt their prices were ridiculous!!! I purchased a roll of violet studded material at a clearance rate, and I purchased a lot of peacock feathers, which I intended to be my theme décor. (I hadn't known that there were peacocks roaming the resort). So the wedding team at NO extra cost added my pieces to the table and even put a few feathers on the cake and a few places on the table, being creative. And they did well!!!! That's all I can think of right now. But shoot out the questions, if you have any. ** I want to try to upload the DVD onto youtube. Does anyone have any experience with that? It's approximately 35 minutes long.

Hi all! Pretty new to this site and I have already really appreciated all the tips and ideas everyone shares in these forums. I am just getting started with planning and getting vendors lined up. The most critical one at this point (and the one that I seem stuck on) is the travel agent. I have seen bits and pieces from other folks about travel agents embedded in posts about other topics but I hoped to solicit some specific feedback about your experience finding one and working with them. Did you look for a TA that specialized in your wedding location? And do they provide you a quote based upon average amount per person or a certain time of year or what did you evaluate them based upon? Did you do phone interviews with them? What kinds of perks/incentives are typical? Sorry so many questions, just really have no idea start and while all the other vendor planning seemed very straight-forward. This one is giving me pause...HELP

Even since I got engaged this past January I've been playing around with different ideas for my invitations. After many hours I finally came up with a design that met my vision. I decided to go with a pocket style invitation and use an embossing technique for the images. I probably invested close to 75 hours into my invitations but most of that time was because I kept changing my mind . Once I committed to a design I would say the whole process from designing the layouts in Photoshop to putting the last postage stamp on the outer envelope took me 7 hours to make 25 invitations. For those of you interested in my fonts, I downloaded them for free from http://1001freefonts.com. I used: Last names on invite & headings for inserts: Castellar First names on invites and other "scrolly" text on the RSVP card: Edwardian Script ITC Most test on invite & inserts: Champagne & Limousines After I worked out my wording for the invite and inserts I started by designing an image of sea coral in Photoshop then converted it to a vector using Illustrator. The original image was used for my invitations. I then cropped a section of the original image and saved it in a separate vector file for the inserts, rsvp, and, "one love" square on the outside of the pocket. Once the images were ready I contacted Dominion Stamps & Engraving (based out of Calgary, Alberta) http://www.dominionstamps.com and had them turn my custom images into 2 rubber stamps. I must say this company is fantastic to deal with and I highly recommend them. From the time I first contacted them to the time I received my stamps was less than 5 days and I live on the other side of Canada! I decided to cheat a little in the DIY process and ordered my paper and pockets from Cards and Pockets http://www.cardsandpockets.com . Again they were fantastic to deal with. Pocket invitations and outer envelope: Imperial Blue Inner envelope and invitation/rsvp/inserts: Snow white RSVP envelope and invitation mat: Turquoise With my invitations and enclosures all printed I was ready to start adding my custom images. I purchased my ink pads and embossing powder from Michael's. I used the Brilliance line of pigment ink in Rocket Red Gold color and Recollections embossing powder in clear. For the back of the RSVP envelope I used a heart stamp I found the clearance bin at Micheal's with ColorBox pigment ink in Robin's Egg and the same clear embossing powder used for my other images. It took a bit of practice to get the exact positioning of my images down but once I did my FI and I were off the races with our embossing assembly line (me stamping and dusting with embossing powder, him "cooking" the embossing powder with the heat gun). The embossing process is dead easy, even for amateur DIYers out there. The attached pics are of the end result. I'm happy with how they turned out but as a tip to other budget conscience Canadian brides, make a mock-up of your final product and take it to the post office. Because of my inserts and jute ribbon on the outside of the pocket (purchased from Michael's) my invitations were overweight and oversized so I ended up having to spend about $60 on postage stamps

Our past photographer at Decordova Photography will be covering my friends wedding in Jamaica this October, and is offering his packages at a discount to other couples having a wedding in Jamaica on October 16 or October 17. I don't think it matters which resort as she is already bringing him down. You can arrange those details with him. That package is around $1100 total in Canadian dollars. Hope someone makes use of the savings. You can message him on his website www.decordova.ca. or [email protected]. Please reference my name Emma or my friend Nikki. Love Emma

This hotel is beautiful and the staff make it worth the money. My wedding was fantastic. I want to give a huge thanks to Chandlyn, Jodi Ann, Paul from the wedding department, Timroy and Stacey Ann Lewis my butlers during my stay and Peter Brown the Bell man. Oh and Kamal Simms for a wonderful experience at the Royalton. From the moment I arrived they took great care of me and my now husband. Our server Dr. Love, lol; who took care of our romantic beach dinner was fantastic. Overall the ground staff was great. My wedding was beautiful. The spa was accommodating and I looked gorgeous. Trust me when I say once you arrive the staff in Jamaica provide a excellent service. The resort is beautiful. My only complaint would be dealing with Stacey Ingram in reservations and Laura Erikson the wedding coordinator in Canada. Laura did not provide accurate information and therefore we overspent. Contact the hotel directly, if you can future brides. Don't listen to what wedding agency tell you over the phone. They don't know what the hotel provides. Every single last person from the groom to ALL the guests were furious with her service. She didn't respond to requests for room reservations and mis calculated the cost of wedding reservations on several occasions. We had to correct her. We emailed the general manager Mr. Pizzuti and the wedding department staff and special thanks to them for my day memorable. Stacey and Laura literally had me in tears due to the poor service provided. I want to say special thanks to Elite Media Concepts for providing such great service! They provided DJ and Cinematography services. They were well organized and accommodating! They emailed a few questionnaires for song selections, genre of music, etc. The questionnaires were great didn't expect it. They got a chance to know our likes and dislikes. Any questions or concern I had, they were a call/email away and someone replied right way. On the the day of the wedding... They arrived early introduced themselves, go over pretty much everything we told them we wanted to capture and any last min. changes. I was very impress with the team. A+ all around! The DJ's were fantastic, they made our guests dance and enjoyed our reception. My husband deejay part time and he's very selective when it comes on to DJ's. He didn't stop talking about their setup and music selection and how they had ALL our guests on the dance floor. GREAT JOB ELITE MEDIA CONCEPTS!!! The wedding planning started off rocky with with lack of communication and incorrect info from the royalton coordinators, but the staff at the hotel was great and made our stay unforgettable. Our reception was fantastic thanks to Elite media.

Hey Guys, I always meant to write a review of my wedding but just never got around to it. So instead I thought I'd offer a couple pics (some are iPhone pics, so ignore the quality) and a video a friend made for us while we were there, and see if anyone had any questions that I could answer. Video: Let me know if you have any questions! We had the best time and I would HIGHLY recommend this location to anyone! -Cora

Hey ladies! I was wondering if anyone has gotten married recently at this beautiful resort? I have soooo many question! My groom and I got engaged in December 2014, and we are thinking about getting married in Feb 2017. I wanted to know if anyone could share their experience with this resort to help us with this crucial decision. Also, there are a lot of conflicting reviews about this resort. Any weather, price, items to bring, color schemes, photographers, and make-up and hair tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all, My fiance and I are planning our destination wedding hopefully early next summer. We were looking into Jamaica and there are some really nice places. Currently, we looked into Round Hill and the Rockhouse. We plan on inviting around 90 people (big Italian family), but realistically think that only half will show. There maybe a child or two, but adult only venues are plausible. Also, we prefer almost anywhere in the Caribbean, Jamaica is not a make or break deal. Our budget is for around 20-25k. Roundhouse quoted us for 35k and we never got an accurate quote from Rockhouse. My question is can anyone provide a place where I can get the most out of our money? Your responses are greatly appreciated! Thank you!!! Mike

I really wanted to do a welcome bag for my guest list of 18 that's going to Jamaica and a Oh Sh%t kit. However bags are costly then I feel like u need enough items to fill the bags. Which will include items they don't really need and wasted space in my luggage. I also live 15 hours from my family so I can't get others to carrier them or hand them out earlier. So next best thing is to do miniature canvas bags and use iron-ons to complete the look. They turned out great!!! No bag will have the same contents. Everyone will get the "airline ticket" of the weeks plans, q-tips, hand sanitizer, band-aids, floss, wedding party koozie. I found some cheap baggies that self sealed to put everything in. Then others will also get a flask, and joke gifts that the person who receives will understand. Like a PT test, condoms and so on. Each item will have a sticker with a funny note to them. That's what the bags look like as u can tell they are not that big. Perfect for an Oh Sh%t kit. That's what the bagged items look like. One thing I like about them is the fact that they are not zip lock bags. And here are what the stickers will look like. I haven't picked up the sticker paper yet so it's printed on normal paper.

I can't believe we're leaving in 3 days from now and our wedding is one week from today! Today is my last day in the office. I am prone to anxiety and my entire goal through this whole planning process was to put in the time and energy well in advance so that I wasn't completely panicking and stressing this final week and the first few days in Jamaica. I have to say, wedding wise, I'm in great shape!! My fiance is finishing up some final coordination/logistics details for a couple excursions we have planned, but I'm leaving all that to him and he has it under control. I did hope I would be 95% packed by now, but work has kept that from happening. Try as hard as I could, but 3 big projects I thought were wrapping up came back around to be very needy in the last couple weeks! Even if I wasn't preparing to be off it would have been a tough couple of weeks, so it is extra crazy. I've had to work over the last few weekends, which is when I normally would have been packing. Hopefully I can pull it all together and keep my calm through take off! Thanks to everyone for your support, ideas and advice over the last year! I'll post a recap thread when I get back since I didn't do a planning thread and share my stuff in case it is useful to those in the trenches of planning

Although I didn’t post any threads while planning my wedding, I did use BDW on several occasions and feel as though I owe it back to post this thread as a review of my wedding and some things I would or wouldn’t change. Just FYI- it’s a long thread! I hope this helps some of you in your planning! Dress: I loved my dress. It was purchased on clearance at David’s Bridal- a choice I made knowing that I would be “trashing” it after the wedding. Still… it’s really not that trashed, and I still really love it. So win-win! There were no closets to hang this in on the airplane so I ended up laying it across the luggage stored overhead and it was totally fine. Secrets steamed the dress and my grooms outfit so I assume any wrinkles from travel would have been removed regardless. Bridesmaids: I had 5 bridesmaids, 4 of which came to Jamaica (one had a baby!). I told them to find any coral dress they wanted and it worked out perfectly. I’d be lying if I said waiting to see if the colors matched didn’t give me any anxiety though. It worked out great in the end! I made them monogrammed beach bags and filled these with a flower for their hair, sunglasses, a necklace and earrings in a travel jewelry roll, and I made them a jewelry dish, passport and luggage tag holders, and barefoot sandals. I also paid for half of their hairstyles at the resort. My girls are awesome! small DIY items: I am an art teacher and I had a lot of time and materials available to me. I did not want to pay the ridiculous prices for décor from the resort, so most of our details were made by me. These fans were purchased from Michael’s and put on each seat for the reception. I also bought these paper straws and made the little tags for them (not all of these on one straw!)- we put them at the bar and had the bartender put one in each drink. Being the art teacher I wanted to have paint brushes there. I kept seeing cute ones saying something about brushing away sand, which inspired our escort cards. Our favor for the wedding was a magnet. The photo on the front is a print of a painting I made from one of our photos of a past Secrets trip. Flowers: I stalked Hobby Lobby until their RealTouch flowers were 50% and bought all of my florals from there. It cost me $90 for my entire bouquet and 5 bridesmaids bouquets. That was the cost of ONE bouquet from the resort! And you wouldn’t be able to bring it home with you. I had these in my carry on and they travelled really well. Now they are in my living room. I really just grabbed a bunch that I liked and put them together. Love them! We did get a real rose boutonnière for my husband because I didn’t like the way mine came out. Oh well. It was $40 just for that though! Yikes. We used the florals included in the wedding package to decorate around the reception area. I added little charms to the girls’ bouquets with their initials and wrapped mine with a broach that I wore for my sister’s wedding. Centerpieces: Since we only had 3 tables and a sweet heart table, I decided to use the bridesmaid bouquets as the flowers in the centerpieces. This worked out AWESOME. I wrapped gray ribbon around a clean spaghetti jar and added the sand dollar with coral ribbon. I used a gold paint pen to write the table numbers. I made four of these and numbered 1-3, I left the last one blank incase one broke, but none did so I drew a heart on it and used it at our sweet heart table instead. Once there, we filled them with a little bit of sand at the bottom to help hold the flowers upright. I bought handkerchiefs for the centerpiece to sit on since everything the resort provides is white. We used fake tea lights because real ones would blow out on the beach, and instead of using glass votives I made little coral paper mache cups that were way less heavy. I made turquoise tiles stamped with starfish for the jar to sit on… these said Montego Bay on the back, and were scoffed up pretty quickly by our guests as the end of the night. Lastly, some pink gems and additional starfish/sand dollars were added for decoration. I put all of the candles in the mason jars and then wrapped them in bubble wrap in my carry on. Again, no problems at all! Nothing broke. We also didn’t bring any of this home except one jar. Welcome Bags: We brought all of this with us and assembled once we got there. The following were included: Welcome sign/door knocker, bookmark, tissues, suntan lotion and aloe packets, sweedish fish, hand sanitizer bandaids, gym, instagram signs, a note with when to be at the wedding, a mix CD of island songs, and granola bars. I found the welcome/door hanger signs somewhere online and recreated similar ones in Word. We didn’t include any drinks and not much food because it was an all-inclusive resort, but everyone seemed to really like the bags and appreciated the thought. We gave the bags to people as we saw them instead of paying the $4 fee per room delivery fee that the resort charges. Secrets Resort: This resort is absolutely beautiful. We were there on vacation in 2012 and decided that if we got married it would be there. Fast forward two years later, we got engaged and booked our wedding without further discussions. We used a travel agent to handle our trip because it was a group of 27 people! I highly suggest someone to handle all of the details for you so you have less to worry about. We were also upgraded to the preferred side of Wild Orchid when we arrived.The view from our room was incredible. Aside from the beauty of the resort, they are not incredibly easy to work with. I understand the whole concept of email taking a while to respond, but I was made to feel like a crazy bride pulling out all of the stuff we brought with us (or maybe I just really was a crazy bride???). There was also a very strict schedule the day of the wedding. The ceremony started at 5 but guests had to be in their seats by 4:30. There was a fee for every little thing. The only thing we rented from the resort were tiki torches. They do provide lights that look like lamp posts (but don’t tell you about it) so you probably don’t need the 12 we got. They were really good about setting everything up- it looked just how I had imagined it- and never charged us a set up fee at all. We had both the ceremony and the reception at the barracuda beach which is by the volley ball courts. Our photographer was amazing and covered the vendor fee, but we had to pay for her to have a guest pass to come back the next day to do a one hour trash the dress session. It was just a feeling of being nickel and dimed for every little thing when you were bringing the resort a ton of money with a group of people and a wedding. They did give us an extra room the night before the wedding for the groom to stay in. We decided to stay together anyway, so I used the extra room the next day to get ready in with my girl since it didn’t have the luggage clutter and he got ready with the groomsmen in our room since they didn’t really care. It worked out nicely. Myself and four girls used the resort spa for our hair and I also had my make up done because it was included in my package. This was all fine until we got out on the beach and it was super windy. The extensions started to come out. Luckily my mom is a retired hair dresser and was able to remove them and pin up what was left before the ceremony started. The make up was nice and stayed all night- a few weird things were: they lined my lips on the outside of them… making them look huge, they added black to my already dark eyebrows and I felt like Frida Kahlo, and they lined my eyes with eyeshadow instead of pencil. The brows they fixed right away by seeing my reaction, the other things were fine, just different. I wiped off the extra lips and lined my own eyes when we got back to the room. Our Photographer: By far, we spent the most amount of money in this area and it was 100% worth every penny. Misha Earle was incredible. She was so flexible creating the photo package that we wanted and our photos are stunning. I can’t stop looking at them! She kept us laughing all day long and was everything you could want in your wedding photographer. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in Jamaica. I did a lot of research before choosing her, and don’t regret it one bit. We did get photographs from the resort included in our package—and they are fine. But not comparable to Misha’s photos at all! (There was also a video included with our package… if not included, it would not have been worth the money. The quality is terrible and graphics are quite tacky.) Within 2.5 weeks of our wedding we could view the photos online and within a month we had our photos on a flash drive at our door. I can’t say enough great things about her! Cocktail Hour: We upgrade to the steel drum band for $200. From what I hear, they were awesome. We were off taking pictures with Misha so we only caught the very end of it. We did a first look before the ceremony (my favorite part of the day) so all of our bridal party could enjoy happy hour. DJ: We used the house DJ- I don’t actually know what his name is, but he was pretty good. We didn’t have a choice of who we wanted. He played all of the songs that we requested ahead of time and kept us dancing all night. I only wish we had met him ahead of time to go over the order of when things were happening. My brother in law sang and played our first dance song for us and he didn’t know he was about to play until he was announced. Minor details, but would have been nice to know ahead of time. He did bring a mic/stand and made sure he had the right guitar plug ins for us though, as requested through the weddings manager. The food was really good in the buffet. Some brides say that they don’t have time to eat at their wedding but we didn’t have any problems with that. J They gave us a personal waiter who made us plates from the buffet. We got chocolate for our cake flavor and that was really good. They wrap up the top of your cake and give it to room service so you can order it whenever you want for the rest of your trip. Our last night, we took the cake and a bottle of champagne to the beach and enjoyed what we could before we left! I made the wire cake topper, and we brought the ribbon (left over from my bouquet) with us which they added to the cake. We never got the cake topper back, but then again I never asked. The flowers pictures are the ones included from the hotel. ***********having trouble with the photo uploader... guess you'll have to visit Misha's website to see the cake! Welcome Party and Rehearsal: We didn’t do one, technically. I watched some other Secrets weddings on YouTube and basically just paired people up so they knew who to walk with. I walked with both of my parents and we had 4 girls, 6 guys so that was the only coordinating we really had to do. I tried to make reservations for the whole group ahead of time at hibachi. They wanted to charge us $30 a person to book this (at one of the resort restaurants, nothing private). So we didn’t book it. Once we were there we tried again with our hotel concierge and they made the reservation for 27 with no additional charge. Because it was hibachi the tables seated 10 each so it was a little divided, but it was nice to have everyone together this first night. I’m sure there are other things I’m forgetting, so feel free to ask away. You can see a feature of our photos from Misha at http://mishaearlephotography.com/#!/images/featured-weddings/courtney-matt-secrets-wild-orchid/ and if you click on slideshows the rest of them are there. I’ll post a few, just so you can get an idea of how seriously incredible she really is!

Hello all. This forum has been extremely helpful for me through the ups and downs of planning my destination wedding. I had difficulty finding recent reviews of the Hilton Rose Hall in Montego Bay so I wanted to write a review after visiting for the 1st time last week. They have 2 beautiful gazebos that can accommodate 10 to over 100 guests and also offer ceremonies and receptions on the sand. The beautiful Aqueduct is also a short walk away and absolutely breathtaking in person. This resort will be perfect for our guests with children due to the onsite lazy river, water slides and the fact kids 12 and under stay free. Our other guests will also be thrilled to see they have an adults only beach section and nightly entertainment. Fresh, their buffet restaurant, was great. We had breakfast and dinner there and it was yummy. We also had an amazing steak dinner at Three Palms. They have free shuttles to the local stores and great house that run every 30 minutes and shuttles to the restaurants and clubs on the Hip Strip. I know every single guest will be impressed with their stay which is a huge relief since they are spending time and money for our wedding. Our coordinator, Angella Saddler has been amazing. Even when my wedding was 10 months out she still responded to my millions of questions in a timely manner and was an amazing host during our stay. If anyone has any questions please let me know but I truly hope this review encourages others to check them out.

I found my wedding dress at Wedding works in Ingersol Ontario Canada! It is a ivory mermaid gown with all gold embroidery ????. As soon as I tried this dress on I knew it was the one. It's not like it screamed at me, "IM THE ONE!"; but it sure came close ????. I was able to buy it off the rack which gave me a weighted veil for free! I was an extremely happy girl to say the least ????! I found my dress last March and have gone every couple of months just to try it on again and again LOL! ???? I couldn't be happier with my find!!

Hi everyone! Has anyone worked with a wedding planner known as Wedding Belles Jamaica? There is barely any independent reviews on this company, however they claim to be executive producers of te Jamaican bridal expo, which is apparently a big deal in Jamaica? I've been corresponding with the owner of Wedding Belles Jamaica named Jo-Anne. I wanted read more reviews before deciding whether or not I should use this wedding planner. If anyone has an input/reviews on this wedding planning company, please share. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hey everybody!! My fiancé and I got engaged the day after thanksgiving and now we're in the beginning statved of trying to figure out where we want to get married! We're thinking May 2016... I must confess! I have a first love (hard rock punta cana) but am unsure if I want to commit. I want to be sure to get the best deal for everyone coming (thinking maybe 10 guests) and they are a little high. I am also looking at places in Jamaica but the ones I have looked at don't compare (rooms aren't as updated or nice). I've never been out of the country so I really don't have much to compare to... I've spoken with a TA but am still lost. How is everyone else's process going?
