RIU Ocho Rios

 

Just finalizing starting our plans with vendors etc. I am using Tai Flora for flowers/decor but sticking to the basic package for cake, dinner etc.

 

We have 47 people booked with 5 weeks to go!

 

Does anyone have any advice for this venue? I have read a lot of reviews but they are from 2-5 years ago so I don't know how relevant they are now.

Hi!
We are bringing a photographer with us to Ocho Rios. We arranged a deal that we would pay for his trip and he will shoot the ENTIRE WEEK instead of just the wedding day - candids, family shots and an engagement shoot prior to the wedding. He normally charges minimum $250 an hour for a wedding shoot. This is the best deal by far that we found, above and beyond hiring a photographer from the resort who will only shoot for the day. We will receive a book of proofs and an album and will pay for parent's albums, any enlargements and thank you cards.

If you can, I'd suggest trying to find someone to bring with you for your destination or just gather all the pictures that your guests take and create an album from those.

Hope this is of some help!

Hi All,

My name is Cris and my fiance and I are getting married in Ocho Rios, Jamaica at Hibiscus Lodge Hotel on 17 July 2010. I can't believe it's only 5 weeks away. So far I have about 22 guests reserved, and I am preparing my gift bags right now. My only problem is trying to find a template for my welcome letters and agenda. If anyone has a nice template for a welcome letter and maybe a things to do locally for Ocho Rios, please send it my way. Thanks for all the help! I can also be reached at crisc99@hotmail.com

 

One Love,

Cris
