previous couples has been the Steel Pans band or the traditional
Jamaican Mento Band. This is typical island music really cheerful and entertaining. If you are interested in
any other kinds of live music please let us know and we will try finding them for you.
Time of the Wedding Ceremony During Summer time (March though September), we suggest having th e ceremony around 5 : 0 0 or 5:30 pm. because the heat of the day has passed yet you still have enough light to take quality photos after t h e ceremony.
