A taste of our daughters
http://www.mydeo.com/videorequest.as...789&CID=229270
We subsidized room and air for some guest and our daughter got her dress and the wedding party dresses on the internet, groomsmen shirts were made local at an affordable price. I was told that the week trip was less for a bridesmaid than hotel/dres/etc cost them to be in a wedding in the states.
Reverand Hylton from Sav took care of license pre and post ceremony and delivery to states after registering in Kingston.
We pretty well took every room in a property for a week and got comfortable group off season rates.
We provided dinner 1st full day in, in laws rehearshal night 2nd full day in and then wedding reception, so by their 4th day all of the guest were pretty acclimated to Negril.
I took over a restaurant for the night with a 3 plate per course 4 courses dinner, I felt that the only way to do it was set the menu ahead of time so that there was no ordering confusion, additionaly guest could move from table to table for each course, I made sure to have ital for Jamaican guest and went a little less fish for American pallets. By doing a per guest rate we could calculate tip into total bill and not have to worry about guest orders, bring plates - remove plates each course allowed for gentle flow for service staff.
We brought in bar, I paid bartender and extra security.
I rented a sound system and used my computer as a source.
Tropical Fantasy did flowers, local friend did cake, Coleen has the photographers name.
We rented a room and a friend brought in hair and nail ladies from an AI for wedding party day of ceremony pampering.
Emma came to the property and did jewelery on day of ceremony.
My best investment was 500 feet of cat 5 cable I got from the former Irie Vibes Restaurant at Rondel, added to routers I brought from home this allowed Rob to do a live cast. Friends and family at home could join us, we could talk to camera during reception and they could type back.
Memorable event.
