We arrived in Negril 4 days before the wedding. Kristin and I spent the first day visiting every vendor to make sure everything was still on schedule.
The day of the wedding Petrona had the men move the regular tables and chairs at Blue Cave to make way for the wedding.
We had planned a 4 PM wedding hoping it would start by 5 PM. It actually started a little after 4:30. The skies were threatening, but Bill the photographer said we would not get any rain because of the way the wind was blowing. We later learned that a few wedding on the beach were rained out that day. We could see the rain hitting the beach, but we didn’t get any on the cliffs. Everything went off without a hitch.
A couple of other things. Have a rain plan. We would have crammed everyone under a small palapa or held it at Teddy’s Hideaway restaurant in back of Blue Cave, but that wouldn’t have been the best. It would not have worked with 30 or 40 people. So have some sort of back up plan. The price of $12,000 is high. We only spent $11,000 and gave Kristin and Alex the other $1000. The price included EVERYTHING connected to the wedding and honeymoon for Kristin and Alex and Janet and me. Also included was a trip to Black River and YS Falls for 11 people. The price included a day trip for 4 to Mayfield Falls, a day trip to Discovery Falls, a stop at Rockland Bird Sanctuary, all the meals, taxis, gifts, transfers, airfare and hotels. So all in all, not outrageous, and a wedding that many people wish they could have. We would do it again the same way and use the same people.

Regards,

Bob, Janet, Kristin and Alex
