Hello boardies!

 

It's been ages since I've been on here and I figured we'd pay you all a visit and catch up with the board!

 

For those who do not know -- we are of Jamaican heritage.  Both of our families are originally from Jamaica and myself and our 2 children are the only ones born here.  Since his family cannot travel, we decided to go "home" for our union. 

 

We are getting married at a local church in Runaway Bay and our reception will be at Coyaba Garden in Ochi.  We wanted to do as much as we could on our own to minimize extra costs.  I will admit, I was late with just about all my milestones for more reasons than one, but the best reason of all was the birth of our 2nd daughter this past July.

 

Fast forward to today.  We sent STD's in Sept, but everyone knows I was still on Maternity leave so people were booking and offering their assistance -- I've got the best fam and friends ever!  I'm still sending out formal invitations as we speak!  I say hey better late than never -- altho the RSVP date is 1 MARCH! undecided.gif

 

We recently went to JA on a planning trip.  WE GOT LUCKY!!...like I stated before, we were planning to try to do this on our own from the States but we were introduced to a wonderful pair of ladies who are going above AND beyond for us!  The initial lady who we contacted, Norma Jarrett works at the party rental place we are renting from in St Ann's Bay.  She put us in contact with her good friend,  a florist/planner named Charmaine (she works at the floral shop located at half moon)  ABSOLUTELY a pleasure working with these two women!  They keep us on point and help us cut costs.  They are great.  Norma's taken our wedding on as if it were her own!

 

 

I'm super excited and can't wait to marry my best friend again (we had a civil union early last year when I was preggo with our youngest ladybug).

 

So how's it going folks??  Aren't these exciting time?????

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
