Hi Ladies I need your help from all brides to be who have booked or frm brides who have already got married. I am getting married May 2015 and planned on booking the Grand Bahia in Jamaica,long story short they have nothing available for the week that we are looking for. So my question is what resort in Jamaica is/would be a good place to get married? Must be family friendly. Our first choice was the Iberostar but their prices are well over what we would like it to be for our guest. I have been online reading the reviews on tripadvisor and you will always find something bad on there about everything. So if anyone has any information that can help that would be great as you can imgaine I am soo stressed tryin to get something book so we can move along with the rest of our planning. Thanks ladies.

Wow I know resorts book up early, but they are booked the entire week over a year in advance? That's crazy! Sorry I didn't look much into Jamaica except this resort and the Iberostar as well. I have heard the Riu is great too!

First of all, I would double check with GBPJ, just in case. They can be a little screwy when it comes to booking dates. I had a terrible time initially. They would tell me dates were available, thenI would confirm by email for a date a matter of hours later, and they would return email and tell me the date was gone. In that short of a period fo time? Really? I sometimes would think they would work the wedding times around what was comfortable for their schedule! So I would strongly recommend that you go back to them and just check. What about another week? They can't have the entire month of May booked up already for next year!

 

The alternative that we looked at was Lady Hamilton. The price point was about the same, and it's a really nice resort as well. The reviews were good, but I'm going back a few years (early 2011) so I don't know if anything has changed. The other one that has appeared on this site is the Royalton White Sands. Brand new resort. Looks really nice in the photos. They seem to have a few kinks at the moment, which they will probably work out before next year. It's in Falmouth so not that far from MoBay. Take a look on line and see. Then if you do a search in the search bar at the top for the resort, there is someone that posted there that attached all of the menus, wedding packages, requirements, etc. Might be worth a look.

 

I'm a GBPJ bride as well and we absolutely fell in love with the resort and Jamaica! I don't know how much flexibility you have as far as your wedding date, but if you can be just a little, I think it would be worth it for GBPJ!

 

Good luck and happy planning!!!

I am also concerned about resorts booking up and not have rooms for guests.  I have been watching Royalton White Sands and they are booked for dates in 2015.  I am going on a site visit there in June and that will be my first question is the availability of rooms.

      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!
