Hi

 

Does anyone have any experience planning an indian wedding in jamaica? What resorts do you recommend? Any advice is helpful at this point! 

 

Hi resh! I have not personally planned a wedding in Jamaica, but I posted some possible leads in another thread for you:

 

There are a good number of Indian immigrants in Jamaica, so I am thinking that you should be able to find something! One way of going about it is to google "Jamaica and Hindu Wedding", and contact some of the vendors involved.  You can always cross check the quality of the vendors on this site and others.  One place I'm seeing come up a lot is the Grand Palladium in Montego Bay:

I hope this helps get you started!

This is a situation where it is probably best to at least get in touch with a local planner.  Although some of the hotels may be used to hosting Indian weddings (the Grand Palladium and Half Moon Resort are venues that keep coming up), they're the ones who know what is going on on the ground.  Here's a link to Jamaican planners from Wedding Wire, and you should also definitely check the reviews here for Jamaican planners as well.  I can't wait to see your plans come together!  (The stars keep conspiring to keep me from attending my friends' Indian weddings, but at least I can live vicariously through others! LOL)

Hi, 

 

I have been calling local planners..its weird some are charging 10K and some are charging 1K and everyone gives me different advice because some get commision from working with specific resorts so its quite confusing. 

 

One step at a time i guess! I plan on going down there in a few weeks to see the resorts myself..but I want it to be productive, I wanna go with ideas of my mandap etc. all decided.

This process really is confusing---we brides only become 'experts' after all is said and done! LOL  I ended up talking to a couple of different planners before I made my choice.  I read reviews, talked to the planners and made my decision from there.  Yazmin de la Mora, who is by all accounts a fabulous planner herself, has an article on choosing a wedding planner in Riviera Maya that has advice that I think applies to weddings everywhere, even in Jamaica.

Hello everyone!

 

I hope people still look at this posting. I am trying to plan my February 2015 indian wedding in Jamaica and could use some help! I've done some research and have been attached to half moon resort in Montego Bay! I also like roundhill resort as well. We will have about 80 people attending and want ceremony and reception to be held outdoors. Has anyone held a wedding at a villa before? Also if anyone has anyyyy information on half moon resorts I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Mahi, how is your wedding planning going?!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
