Hi,

I am a Cayman bride. Getting married at the Grand Old House off the Carnival Destiny April 27th 2010.

There is saddly not too much info on here specific for the Caymans...but I am so excited to be a little "different" than the others :)

Congrats....let's stick together!

Oh the Grand Old House is beautiful! I was debating between that & the Reef, but FI made sense in saying that we should have it where we were staying.

 

Congrats to you too! Yes, let's stick together! I found 1 other Cayman bride on another site -I'm glad to find another!

 

I'm really excited to go! Have you ever been before? How long are you guys staying in port?

I'm getting married in the Cayman Islands in November..11/14/09 at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Seven Mile Beach. We are expecting about 50 people to attend.

 

We are trying to decide on a rehearsal dinner location and are looking at the Grand Old House and the Wharf. Has anyone been there? How is the food? view? ambience?

 

Any ideas for welcome bags? Using any local things as gifts?

 

Looking forward to chatting with you!

I'm a Cayman bride. Getting married at Grand Old House 11.10.09. We looked at the Reef as well and it was a really tough decision. We decided on GOH because we thought most of our guests would want to stary on 7 mile. Turns out we have a 50/50 split between 7 mile and East end. I think the Reef will be wonderful.

I'm not a Cayman bride either, but I did stay at the Ritz there for a week and it's a beautiful island! We learned about some great local bars from the hotel staff and explored the whole island while we were there (it's not very big!)

 

A good idea for OOT bags would be Tortuga rum cakes....they make them on the island and they're to die for! You can get them at almost any store on the island or oder them online.

 

Happy planning!

I got married in the Cayman Islands on November 14, 2009 at the Rtiz Carlton hotel. We had about 95 guests....We originally expected about 50. Our rehearsal dinner was held at the Wharf...it has a spectacular view and really good food and drinks.We did welcome bags and contacted the Tortuga rum company directly to order rum cakes and pepper jelly and some crackers as treats to stuff our Welcome bags. We found the prices to be less expensive ordering directly through the company than ordering through a vendor or from the store. Depending on your budget, there are some really cute blown glass objects like little turtles, stingrays that might be cute Welcome bag ideas and also a wedding favor.

    • 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!
