Re: Home Sweet Home Wedding
Mid-November *might* be ok, but technically Hurricane Season is thru Nov. 30
However, Mid-November is much better than Mid-October
We had our wedding on 10-10-10
We had the entire property booked at Catcha Falling Star for almost a year in advance and planned every last detail with Andrea and Mauvette who are AMAZING...as is all of the staff.
It was my dream wedding in my favorite place on earth and I couldn't wait
But then on Sept 29/30, 2010, Tropical Storm Nicole hit Jamaica HARD and did A LOT of damage to the cliffs but especially to Catcha Falling Star (and also Tensing Pen-where we were honeymooning)
Catcha called me on Oct. 1st and told me there was too much damage to the property and that they would not be able to have my wedding (or even house my 30 guests)
I was devastated. Seriously, the worst day of my life!
But they didn't give up. They called around and worked hard trying to help me find another place to stay and get married.
We were to arrive on Oct. 6th so we had basically 5 days to replan our entire wedding from scratch
Negril Escape to the rescue. They said yes and they did it! Even with their own damage to their property. They worked night and day, fixing the place up, repainting, even traveling to Mobay for flowers
They were amazing. True life savers
In the end, it was definitely not the ideal or dream wedding I had been planning for over a year (or even over a lifetime) There was rain, storm damage, no beautiful flowers that you are used to, no crystal clear water, etc
But what I did have was:
Two amazing staffs that did everything they could to make sure this wedding happened and that my friends and family were taken care of
and even more importantly....the man of my dreams to marry me in my most favorite place on earth
In the end, that is all that truly matters
I think Catcha will accomodate you, reach out to Andrea and Mauvette, they are amazing
And their vendors are fantastic.
For Flowers I can't say enough good things about Floral Fantasy in Negril and they have Opa? at Roots Cafe make their wedding cakes and they are AMAZING!
Excited for you!
