Destination Weddings Negril Part 2

Negril weddings can be simple and very romantic at the same time. Well, this was the feeling I got when I reviewed the site http://www.negriljamaicavillas.com/weddings/.

Costs

Anything is subject to change. From what the site states, they have wedding packages starting at $700 on up. It is a little extra for the fancier stuff. For example, if you want a 2 or 3 layered cake it is $200 to $400 extra. Personally, I think all wedding cakes should be at least 3 layers, but that is just me. I don’t care if it were just me and my new husband. I would share the cake with the locals just to have an excuse to have a purty cake.

Photography

Unfortunately, photography is not included in the basic wedding package. But it is very reasonable considering that you get to keep the negatives. Prices range around $120 to $360. Hopefully the pictures come out a little better than some of the ones on the website. Did I say that?? I’m not saying the photographer is bad. Website pictures are often not as good as the real counterparts. I’m just saying you need to give them a call andask some questions about their photographer. Ya know?

Bad Weather

They don’t appear to have a bad weather contigency plan. Most sites will definitely mention this if they happen to have one. Don’t quote me on it though. Give them a call or email them to make sure.

Payment

You need 50% up front to reserve the date and the full balance one week before the wedding. That’s a liitle steep for cheap me, but most destination wedding places require that. I’d prefer 25%. That’s just me.
The Resort

I am biased towards beachfront villas for honeymoons, because of the privacy aspect. Think about it. What are you going to be doing the first few days after you get married?
They have a honeymoon package which includes a fruit basket, wine and dinner for two and a sunset cruise to Rick’s Cafe. A free sunset cruise is what I like the most. Hey folks, how about a free massage with that! Just kidding. I think. Anyway, I just love riding on the water and viewing the not-so-polluted blue water and purty beaches. And the multicolored, sunset-bronzed sky just takes you to another place. Ahh, the beauty.

They have differing floorplans and prices to go with them. I am cheap, so I personally would go with a mid to low (but not too low) priced one. They show you how they look inside and they all look fairly nice. The penthouse has a balcony to the bedroom. I don’t know if its an oceanview or not, but it is cute nonetheless.
