Sorry for the late reply! Things have been busy with the planning!! I'm having my ceremony off the resort at 3:30 and then heading back for the reception. How is all the planning going for you?? Can't believe it's 3 weeks away!!! ahhh

This is an amazing review!! I'm having my reception poolside in April and this has put my worries about it to rest! We have about 60 people coming and it looks exactly like what I was wanting. And as a side note...my invitations are the same paper as your programs! I know you've been answering tons of questions but I have one more. Where did you order your mugs from? I've been trying to find some cheap ones to keep our costs down on the OOT bag but would love your input. And what else did you include in them? BTW...you looked gorgeous on your wedding day!!

Hey! I just read this post...I'm getting married the same day as you!! And I'm the one who booked the poolside reception - Sorry! I have about 60 people coming so we're doing the dinner and everything out by the pool. But I've also heard great things about the Seagrape. I read on another post that it's $15 per person to get a mini reception set up after your dinner (includes table set up and decor and a bartender). I'm sure I'll see you around the resort! We'll be the crazy Canadians!! We have a few drinkers in our group so things might get a bit rowdy so I have to apologize in advance! I can't believe how soon it is!! I'm FREAKING out...so much left to do! Quote: Originally Posted by kitty_kat_uk Hi Ladies I've been on these forums a while now, and your help has been invaluable so far!

Basically, 1 there'll be 16 of us (at the Riu Ocho Rios). 2 We're having our meal at the mammee bay at 6:30. 3 Its a Wednesday. 4 The poolside reception is already booked What other options are there. I kind of know about Seagrape and Plantation, but which one is the better optoin for a small party. WOuld the Dunns River bar or Bob Marley bar assign some tables/chairs and could you use your own Ipod there etc. I'm in such a tizz as its not far away now. YOur help is very much gratefully received!! Claire x
