Jjb041612 in Honeymoon, on June 18, 2015 at 8:37 PM

We are thinking Sandals Montego Bay for 7 days. It looks like it is coming out to close to $5k with everything included (including flights & excursions). We haven't done too much research....

DJ'ing your own wedding
Jjb041612 in Planning, on June 14, 2015 at 2:47 PM

Is anyone doing a playlist for their wedding? I've heard that there are apps that cone with a mc & can break up songs into cake songs, dance, father/daughter, etc. Thoughts?

I was just thinking parents & wedding party, but immediately realize other family will be in town & feel bad not inviting them. What are you doing?

Holy crap! Photography quote shock!
Jjb041612 in Planning, on March 13, 2015 at 5:00 PM

Just got 10 quotes back with no packages less than $2300...is this normal? If so, do you have any alternative ways to do budget photography? I think I read hiring a photography student.

4 hours for ceremony & reception?
Jjb041612 in Planning, on March 18, 2015 at 6:37 PM

Is this common? 2 hour set up, 1 hour break down & 4 hours for ceremony, pics & reception. What is your venue giving you? We can of course add hours for $500/hour.

DJ alternative
Jjb041612 in Planning, on March 14, 2015 at 6:32 PM

May sound silly but I read on a blog about budget weddings that there are dj apps & of others using itunes etc vs a dj & having a family member announce, etc. Thoughts?
