Hey Everyone!

Just wondering if anyone is or has been to a wedding in Shaw Park in Ocho Rios, Jamaica? If so what did you think? Myself and my fiance Bryan are getting married there next May 12th 2011.

 

Thanks,

Are you getting married in Shaw Park or at Shaw Park Beach Hotel?

Hi Andrea!

Were gettting off the ship and getting married on the beach.

We were married on the beach but at Shaw Park Beach Resort which is different from the park.  That's why I asked .  Make sure when you get the taxi off the ship to specify which one you want.  We specified the resort and he still thought we were going to the park which is a ways away.  Have a great cruise and wedding!!

Thanks for the heads up! What did you think of this location? And about how long of a cab ride was it from the port? Thanks Andrea

I thought the location was okay.  The people there are so wonderful I keep going back to that.  It down poured on our wedding day so I didn't get to see it with the beautiful blue sky and blue ocean background.  It was all gray and wet for us.  The staff were all truly amazing!  They did everything they could to make it better and special for us.  The taxi ride was maybe 10 minutes?  Depends on traffic.  We were married in the 1 p.m. hour and I did feel rushed to get back to the ship by 3:30-4:00.  I would recommend scheduling the ceremony earlier then 1 p.m.
