Hello ladies! I am originally from Ireland so I know this doesn't count but from the same region once upon a time

Our wedding plans fell through to get married on the east coast. We were originally planning a peaceful quaint wedding on an island called Nantucket which is near New York and New England but nobody seems interested and we want to have a good time. My fiance's best friend suggested we get married in Jamaica instead. I of course have to get on this forum immediately because so far its been so helpful. We know we are going to have to postpone our original date further out and are flexible on that. Here are my questions: I know of three main cities in Jamaica for weddings from my research so far. Can you tell me the highlights of each, and if you are getting married there, what resorts? Montego Bay Ocho Rios Negril With the currency difference and cost of living down there way different from what we have here in the states, does anyone know the average cost per person for the food and what they expect in terms of how many rooms they block off for weddings? I am guessing we will have about 20-35 people but who knows. Its really all up in the air right now. We aren't super wealthy but at the same time I would never pride myself in being "cheap" on the biggest once-in-a-lifetime day of my life because I know I deserve this!

Ah yes we hired her for our island wedding. She has reasonable prices and is the most talented photographer we saw so we booked her to bring her to our wedding. her site is Destination Wedding Photographer Heather Parker Photography and there are a lot of good reviews ( Heather Parker Photography - The Loop - Chicago, IL ) online. good luck! If you like her, call her, she is very nice and accommodating.

anyone getting married on either of these islands? how about block island?

I think it really just depends on how religious you are.

Welcome!!!!

it was a bit unexpected which made it so special. we were on the ferry and the sea was so smooth. we got donuts from the ferrys cafe and sat on the deck outside. he was feeding me some of the donut and said how he wished he could feed me cake on our wedding day and asked if i would be his bride, reaching into his pocket and displaying a beautiful ring that sparkled in the sun that afternoon.

Hi! I am getting married on Nantucket. Its next to Martha's Vineyard. Our date is May 23rd.
