Hey Everybody,

 

I just had my wedding at Beaches, Negril on November 8th and no worries mon, it was more than awesome!!!!

The ceremony was so beautiful, almost everybody cried. If you can get Shyam Moses to be the guitarist for your ceremony, I highly recommend him. He has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard.

The decor was amazing, the food was fantastic! We loved our photographer Mikhail and our videographer Vevan. They were so so fun to work with and took lots of great photos.

Nakisha was our wedding coordinator and she was so great. She had lots of good ideas and made the day go super smoothly.

O'Ryan is part of the resort entertainment and DJ Bryan were fantastic!

The breakfast the next morning was delicious and much needed after a night of partying!!!!

We plan on going back soooon! We never wanted to leave Jamaica or Beaches, Negril!

If you want to see my pics, email me at rhondafedak@hotmail.com, and I will send you a few.

 

Cheers!

couple questions.
did you use their salon? Did you book it ahead of time?
Did you stick with the free reception or add a cocktail hour? (did you do this before hand or when you got there?
Did you use their videographer?

Im just wondering if I can wait to get to Turks to book everything else I want or do I really need to do it now like my WC wants me too!

Hi,
So I did a trial for hair and makeup, the day before, at the salon, and I hated it. I ended up doing my own, and was way happier and more relaxed.
We did the 3 hour dinner reception and we booked it before hand. We also paid everyone to stay longer because were weren't finished partying yet.
We did use the photographer and 2 videographers! They were awesome! If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers,
Rhonda Collopy

Congrats again! I have a couple of questions... Did you have a rehersal dinner? If so how was it? Wanted to do it on the beach is that possible? I keep hearing about the biting fleas was that a problem? Did you go with your own flowers or the Martha Stewart? Is there any way to see your video with the guitarist it sounds beuatiful! I'm debating over the 2hr dinner and adding an hr for dancing or doing the 3hr. Where did your wedding and reception take place? Sorry so many questions,would love to here your thoughts,thanks.

We did have a rehearsal dinner, it was supposed to be on the beach under one of the huts, but it got rained out, so we had it in a corner of the restaurant. I couldn't complain, because there were people's actual weddings getting rained out that night, and I felt really badly for them. They do there best to accomodate for this though.

Sand fleas there are a problem if you react to them. One of my bridesmaids did, but she was the only one. I had a couple tiny bites, but her bites swelled up huge. They usually come out after a large rain. She took Benadryl and put corisone cream on them. I highly recommend bringing both to any Carribean location, as well as a broad spectrum antibiotic.

The flowers and arch we used were from the upgraded floral decor package sent to me by the resort. I can show you if you email me at rhondafedak@hotmail.com or add me on facebook- Rhonda James Collopy, I think I am the only one.

We just viewed our video, and are getting some revisions. You might be able to hear his songs on his website though...SHYAM MOSES - SHYAM - Home. Or download his music from limewire. He is really really good.

Our wedding took place on the beach, and the same with our reception dinner. We did the 3 hour dinner, and the food was awesome, we had alot of speaches so we ended up keeping the place for another hour to party a bit more. Then we proceeded to liquid night club at the resort. It was really fun!

The best advice I can give to anyone is to try and enjoy your day. If something isn't exactly perfect, unless its really bad, to try and laugh it off and enjoy anyways. You get one first wedding and they really do their best to make it great, but its even better if you have a good attitude.

I am happy to field all questions and for anyone to email me about pics or add me to facebook to check out my photos.

Cheers!

It probably would have went better if I had. I knew in my head what I basically wanted, and honestly, she would have tried and tried, but I can't sit in a salon for that long, I get impatient, and she was pretty slow because she was busy chatting to her coworkers, and I just found the entire experience annoying and not relaxing.

I am realllly picky about hair though. One of my best friends is a hairstylist and she is super good, and understands me and my hair perfectly. Its difficult to go to someone new right before a big day, and my friend couldn't come because of family commitments.

I recommend going with a very good idea of what you want and being very firm about it. Also, bring a plan B along, and know how to do your own hair just in case you don't like what they do to you.

The salon did my bridesmaids hair and there updos look quite nice!

    • 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!
    • 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!
