Hello everyone,

I am having a hard time booking a wedding date for the week I am leaving which is April 10th to 17th 2010 and corresponding through emails is very difficult for the simple fact it takes them forever to get back to me....I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and if there is a way of contacting the wedding co-ordinator by telephone? Also...does anyone know which "holiday" Jamaica is celebrating on the 12th of April?

Thanks

Mel

I had EXACTLY the same problem!! I was told to wait to book and then when I did there weren't any available dates! I had my travel agent call the wedding coordinator... which I believe is the Mexico one (they look after all the wedding bookings) when you do call... they will ask if you have tried to book by their website first. I tried for that week as well but then was told not to because of the holiday. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi btn1091,

Were you able to get the wedding date that you wanted after getting your travel agent to call the wedding co-ordinator? My travel agents suggested that I postpone my travel dates one or two weeks with an increase of $100 per person, I refuse to have my guests pay a penny more since they are already forking out alot of money for this trip. I will be calling my travel agent in the morning and I am not getting off the phone until I am fully satisfied with a wedding date between the 10th and the 17th!

Thanks

Mel

No, I ended up moving the week! With the 2 day requirement, the holiday messes with that somehow.

Hi btn1091 and desser!!

I contacted my TA and told her that we were having trouble booking the wedding date due to the holiday, so what she suggested was to move the arrival date by 2 days instead of a full week or two (not to disrupt my guests) and I was told by the TA that not only is the 12th a holiday but also the 9th! Our arrival date is the 8th and departure is the 15th and we were able to book a wedding date for the 13th (not the best date to get married on lol but it might bring me good luck since all I have had is bad luck lately) I am really happy that I have one less stress on my plate!!!

Thank you so very much for the information!!!
