Moon Dance Cliffs

[claudette]

Taovandel,

 

I emailed her last week and got a very quick and short email just stating, "Claudette, I will be contacting you shortly" so my guess is they are busy and she's trying to get caught up on emails.

 

I will let you know when she emails me back!

 

Oh, by the way, I booked a photographer today - Brian N. with Brian Designs - you can see his website at Jamaica Wedding Photography by Brian Nejedly.. I love his TTD pics! They are taken in Negril and he told me we could do it at the same spot!

 

His pricing is reasonable and he's actually from my town (Atlanta, GA)! So I'm very excited! Yay!

Claudette-

 

I love your photographer-he is alot more within my budget than what I have seen.

 

I am so glad other brides are doing an IPOD reception. I got alot of negative feedback when I mentioned it, and was starting to doubt myself.

 

Does anyone know if MDC charges a 'vendor fee' if we don;t use their services?

 

Has anyone heard anything about the spa? I read a review-and the bride said she hated her hair. The stylist didn't want to do what the bride wanted-he has his own vision. And she aslo said that her MOH got sores on her hands and feet after the mani/pedi! Yikes!

Does anyone know how far Tensing Pen is from Moon Dance Cliffs? For some reason I thought they were next to each other and there was some type of bridge connecting the two. Is this correct? I am looking for an overflow property and this place could work?

Hello ladies!

 

Mastistyle - thank you! I'm looking forward to having Brian photograph our wedding - he's super sweet - we've been emailing back and forth a lot and I must say he's been great! He is photographing a wedding in Negril on Valentine's and told me he would check out Moon Dance Cliffs, so I will keep you all posted!

 

I don't think the Cliffs will charge a vendor fee - they haven't said anything about it and seeing as they've only sent me a couple of recommendations, I can't really see them being picky about you choosing their vendor. I will ask Kerry, if she ever gets back to me!

 

As for the spa, I think we just have to be really specific and strong as to what we want - I have found that the more pictures, the better! It's hard because you have something in your mind and sometimes it's hard for another person to picture what you have in mind!

 

Ssleenyc, I do not know how far Tensing Pen is from the Cliffs - I know they are close, but I'm not sure if they are right next to each other. I will also ask Kerry that, if and when I get an answer to my five previous emails!

Ssleenyc-

 

I found a map of Negril hotels (attached). It looks like Tensing Pen is north of MDC. There are 8 other resorts between MDC and Tensing Pen.

 

Hope this helps!

Guys I am having a freak out moment from these two new reviews on Trip Advisor. Have you guys seen these?

 

Negril: Moon Dance Cliffs - Traveler Reviews - Wonderful service, exquisite, nearly finished resort - TripAdvisor

 

they are literally about a day apart. And I know MDC has posted pictures on their site. I have not yet been there but plan to take a trip over the summer to see the progress. Although after reading this I am really concerned about everything. Is anyone considering moving the resort?

[taovandel]

I'm not moving anything. I'm not getting married til October--I'm sure a lot of the kinks and landscaping will be okay by then.

 

 

What I am worried about is that Kerry still hasn't contacted me at all.

Hi Ladies,

 

Congrats to you all! I'm getting married at MDV in August. Yaaaay! So excited! I read most of the reviews you guys posted and thought we could help each other with ideas and vendor info....etc. My wedding coordinator is Oneika. Not sure if she does weddings at MDC as well but she just sent me her first email with recommendations. I haven't looked into all of them yet but let me know if anyone is interested and i can share the info :-).

[Mastistyle]

Unfortunately, I was told that Oneika only handles MDV. But I would love to read what she suggested.

 

I still haven't heard from Linus or Kerry. I have called and still can't in touch with either. I keep telling myself its island time...

[claudette]

Hello ladies! Sorry I've been MIA - I've had a busy week and none of it has been fun

 

I also read the tripadvisor review and freaked out! Then I realized that hey, if by May some stuff isn't finished, then we'll just get some discounts - I mean honestly if the waterfall in the front of the hotel isn't operational by my wedding, I really don't think that's a big deal since I don't plan on taking any pics by there anyway.

 

I also haven't heard from Linus or Kerry - I haven't tried calling though because I just haven't had the time - I think I will write another email to Kerry and cc Miriam to let them know how uneasy the lack of response is making me and how we're thinking about possibly moving resorts (although I'm really not!) but that might get them moving!

 

I'll keep you all posted! But I truly think this is just an issue of island time - can I just tell you that I just got a reply from a resort in Mexico TODAY and I had contacted them 12/7!!! So things could always be worse!
