**************************************************

We had such an AMAZING wedding!  It truly was a dream wedding come true..  we honestly think that our wedding was the most beautiful wedding we have ever been to.
 

We found Almarie by searching for pictures of wedding sites in Jamaica.  We were married at  the Tropical Grand Oceanfront location .  We loved the spiritual feeling of this site, as it was at the top of a mountain with an unbelievable view of the ocean.  We were surprised to have a fairly large wedding for a destination site (57 people).  Almarie was wonderful in helping us work through various options to keep us under our total budget.
 
The day of our wedding, two busses picked our group up at our cruise ship.  I was running late (as the bride getting ready with 7 bridesmaids in my tiny stateroom), but the driver was SO nice to us.  He immediately made us feel at ease as he said that brides often run late, and it was obvious that he and his partners knew what they were doing.  On our ride to the wedding site, it began pouring rain!  When we arrived, Almarie had large umbrellas to keep all of our guests dry, and we just waited for the rain to clear.  There was no pressure to rush the ceremony, as we were the only people at the site.  I think this was a benefit that we had over using one of the cruise ship's wedding services.  We were the only people at our wedding site (no competition or later ceremonies to push us).
  
We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding planner! 

Thank you Almarie!

Almarie,We want to start by saying Thank you! That doesn't even come close to how much we would like to show you our gratitude.

You made this so easy for us. We both cannot believe how amazing you were. Every time someone talks about our wedding all they can say is "Wow, that was the best wedding they have ever been to!"

We both had no idea of how beautiful the whole thing would be. It was such a nice surprise!  The location was  absolutely breathtaking, the food was amazing, and the party after, well that was pretty awesome! I'm so glad we got to meet you.

You are a great person and as far as a wedding planner goes there is no other like you! Just to also let you know since we have been back home, there have been several people that want your contact info so they can plan a wedding. That goes to show you that it was pretty unforgettable!

We cannot express how thankful we are to you, Almaire. Being from so far away and trying to plan a wedding is stressful enough, but we never imagined that we could literally just get on a plane and have such an unbelievable wedding waiting for us. 

We especially appreciated the fact that we could phone you at anytime and always get a hold of you. You put all of our worries to rest and didn't criticize an overreacting Bride to Be.

You went above and beyond to exceed any of our expectations from the saxophonist (who was amazing), to the flowers, to the food, to the ceremony location.  The entire day was amazing and surprisingly stressless. Matt doesn't use the word PERFECT very often ,if at all, and he said that our wedding day was just that.

We would be the first to highly recommend visiting Jamaica and if you want the most extraordinary wedding, Almaire at Tropical Weddings Jamaica is just the person to make your every dream come true.

Thank you so much again. Lots of Love, Health, and Happiness.

Almarie,we would like to thank you for a beautiful and perfect wedding.

Planning Stages:
When we got engaged a year ago we decided we wanted to be married on a beach with our friends and family present to witness our special day. After careful research we chose to go with Tropical Weddings Jamaica over the service provided by the cruise line. During the 10 months of waiting for our exciting day we kept wondering how everything would turn out. You comforted our anxiety with providing quick responses to our questions and helping us through the entire planning of our wedding day.

Day of our Wedding:
Our wedding day finally came. We walked off our cruise ship and a very
professional driver with a nice clean bus was waiting for us holding up a
sign for our wedding. At that point I was at ease. He drove us 15 minutes
down the road to the "Private Beach" setting. As soon as I got off the bus
I knew we made the right choice. The scene of the private beach was
beautiful. We were so glad to see that it was truly a private beach.  We had the beach to ourselves and our 17 guests. Upon arrival the people helping with the wedding greeted us and made us feel at home. The staff gave me direction as I waited for my gorgeous bride to arrive.

The service was perfect. We couldn't have asked for anything to be different. We even had a friend who brought a CD of a song that she was going to sing during the butterfly release and they were able to accommodate this for us.

We chose to do the mini reception for our guests. We started with a
champagne toast for our guests and started our luncheon. The wait staff
were dressed in tux's and provided excellent service. The reception they
provided was much better then I imagined it would be. They made us feel
like we were in a 5 star restaurant.

Photo's
The photographer was very professional and good at what he does. He took over 200 pictures during the wedding, reception, and a photo sitting with us. All of them turned out really nice that we couldn't decide on which
ones to get. The photographer left to his studio to copy the disk and print our pictures. He was back to the reception within 30 minutes and the pictures were of high quality.

Video
The video also turned out really good. We had a wedding reception back home two weeks later. We received the video through fed ex in time for our reception to play for our guests. The editing was excellent and made our guests at the reception feel like they shared our special day with us.

I couldn't have asked for better service from Almarie and her team. They
did everything we asked of them that day to make it our special day. All of our guest were impressed with the service provided and how beautiful the setting was. Even the driver met one of our guests needs. Since my aunt was busy getting ready for the wedding she didn't have time to get a
souvenir for someone. He stopped off at a shop on the way so she could pickup something nice.

Almarie, Thank you so much for your experience and exceptional service. You truly made our wedding day the happiest day of our life together.

Almarie, I want to thank you for giving us the perfect wedding!

At first I was skeptical of planning something so important from so far away, but I'm so glad I found you & used your services.

Anytime I had a question or concern, you were quick to respond and always had the right answer. When a problem did arise, you were very helpful & accommodating to make things right.

The wedding site looked beautiful, everything was perfect from the flowers to the cake, & the pictures came out amazing.

Our wedding was better than I could have imagined.

Hi Almarie, I just wanted to express my gratitude for making my special day better than what I imagined.

I was a bit nervous about the wedding whenit began to approach so quickly and my biggest concern was planning an event without meeting my wedding coordinator prior to the wedding.

All of my concerns were put to rest once I arrived on the island and met
with you. If there are any brides-to-be out there who are in the U.S.
and planning their wedding in Jamaica......don't worry! Almarie will
take care of everything from your hair & make-up to the food.

Everything was beautiful and everyone describes our photos as breathtaking!!!

I will recommend your services to everyone. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!!

Almarie, we just got back from our honeymoon and I wanted to thank you for everything you did for us.

 Our wedding turned out PERFECT!!!! Everything I hoped for and imagined came true and more. The beach location was magnificent and the color turned out to look like a dream. The pictures turned out so well, we are all just very happy with every aspect of our wedding day.

 I know there were probably moments when I acted like a paranoid bridezilla, but there was no reason for that, as you made sure all of my wishes came true.

Thank you again for making my wedding dreams come true.

p.s. the cake was delicious and beautiful!

*********************************************** 

Almarie, I can not express how you made my wedding day a blessing. Without you I would have said forget this whole thing. You were a lifesaver to me. I do apologize for all the inconveniences and drama from my wedding party.

 I must say from the beginning of my search for a wedding coordinator to the last minute you were AWESOME.  You and your staff will be recommended by me and Marcus to others. Marcus was very pleased with your services. He said he really liked how you did everything so nice. That is heartfelt and moving, because Marcus hardly gives an opinion about anything.

 The décor and organization was too good to be true. I say that because I know I am not an easy person to please. When I walked through the gates and saw the beautiful décor, I knew she not only heard my request but she listened. Wonderful job! The cake was DELICIOUS. Marcus does not like cake, but I convinced him to take a bite. He ate two slices. I want you to know that is a complement for your cake baker.

 I hope that you provide other services such as birthday dinners or anniversary parties, because I will be requesting your service again.

Almarie, we want to say the biggest of thank you's to you and your staff.

Our wedding day was perfect and you exceeded our expectations.

The lead up to the day was stress free (except for getting the money to you "LOL") but you handled everything brilliantly. The Location, The Ceremony, The Reception, The Decor, The Colour Scheme, The Food and The Cake!!! (WOW), it was all fabulous and our guests were completely blown away...

The DVD and Photos are amazing and everyone who has seen them, wish that they were there!!

Our wants and needs were quite excessive but you managed to fulfill all of our requirements perfectly.. Thank you so much for making it a perfect day, truly, it was a dream come true.

*May 2008*

*********************************************** 

Our wedding day was so stress free.  You really listened and took the time to get to know what our wants and needs were.  We could have let you plan every single detail and it would have been exactly what we were looking for.

The cake was delicious.  And the pictures and video were amazing.  We have received so many compliments on them. 

The location was nice and private and perfect for the photos.  We have a couple of friends who are now planning destination weddings because they were so impressed with the quality of our experience.

Thank you so much for everything you did for us.  You gave me the wedding I dreamed about since I was a little girl.  We are so lucky we found you.

A big thank you to you and your staff for making our wedding day so special! Everything was absolutely perfect and more than what we expected. The private beach set-up was so beautiful and exactly what I was hoping for.

The food was delicious and the cake was so yummy.  I wish I could have brought it home with me.

Our pictures and video turned out amazing.  We've been getting so many compliments on them.

Thank you for answering all my questions so quickly and putting my mind at ease. I'm so happy we decided to go through you rather than the resort...
 
I will recommend you and your company to every bride who is considering a destination wedding in the future.
 
 Thanks again and take care,

Almarie, once again you and your staff out did yourselves and went above and beyond to create a wedding day celebration fit for a star.

Words can’t express our gratitude to you. From the moment we decided to use “Tropical Weddings Jamaica” we were treated as if we were VIP.  All our questions were answered in a timely manner and you even checked in with us to make sure we received all your e-mails.  Obviously, Almarie listens to her clients because our location, site set-up, decorations were breathtaking, just as I imagined. 

You provided the most breathtaking, stunning, private ocean view location.   This created the perfect atmosphere for our tranquil, peaceful wedding ceremony.  Also, because of the private location our wedding party and guests did not feel uncomfortable or rushed during or after the ceremony.

*********************************************** 

We just wanted to say our wedding turned out beautiful.  We had a wonderful time and all of our guests loved the ceremony and the location. 

Almarie did a lovely job.  She had everything taken care of and we didn't have to worry about anything.  I wouldn't have changed a thing. 

*********************************************** 

Almarie, Thank you so much for planning the perfect wedding! We still have our heads in the clouds after our beautiful ceremony! Our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever seen, and our only regret was that it couldn't last forever.

The gazebo, flowers, and chair decorations were stunning and we still can't believe you were able to find our wedding color for the chair ties, tablecloth, and flowers! You coordinated the ceremony perfectly. It was even more beautiful than we expected!

Matt and I would highly recommend you to anyone who is planning a wedding. When I read about the experiences of other brides that you have worked with, I knew that this was the right choice.

Words cannot describe how memorable you made this special day for us. We are still raving about how perfect everything turned out to be, the officiate was great, transporation was nice and comfortable, drivers were fun......

Thank you for everything that you have done over the past year. We cannot thank you enough for the attention and care that you put into planning our wedding, but we hope you know that you have a gift for creating memories that will last a lifetime. For us, it was everything we had hoped for and more.

Sincerest thanks and warm regards,

Gwen and Matt Tundermann

Everything was perfect, the location, flowers, steel drum band, saxophonist, just everything!

Almarie answered all of our questions in a timely manner and took all of our fears away. Even if I had a million questions she was always there with a response.

Thank you for making all of our dreams come true, I would highly recommend you and your staff to anyone! We have some fantastic photo's, a DVD, and memories to last us a lifetime.

Thank you again!

Almarie,  I wanted to say thank you very very much for making my special day just the way I imagined it. The entire decoration, set up, color was absolutely bang on, my pictures were absolutely gorgeous and the video was amazing, my flower arrangement was exactly how I wanted it to be and for that I must say YOU ARE THE BEST!

Well let everyone know that you are full of patience and very understanding and you never made me feel as if I was a bother to you (although I know I was at times), you still responded to each
query with a smile and most importantly in a timely manner.
You asked questions to ensure that I was getting what it was I had in mind for my special day, you called when you say you were going to and you also made me feel very comfortable conversing with you at any given time!

The way I see it, you stayed on top of things and you addressed me very intelligently and professionally EVERY TIME!
When I did meet you I understood why that was so, because you have a calm and welcoming personality.. Most of all, I would most definitely recommend your service to anyone who is interested in a Destination Wedding…

I wish you all the best success in this and any other future endeavors and keep up the EXCELLENT work.
Once again, thank you soooooooooooooooooo much for making my DAY the way it was… I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS!

Cheers,

 First let me say…THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Almarie you are EXTRAORDINARY!! You made me feel like I was the only bride that you had to deal with. You responded in a timely manner, you had no problem accommodating us, and you took all of my fears away, No matter how many times I had questions, she was there with a prompt and detailed response and I never felt like I was annoying her.

 I promise you that you will LOVE her. . ..

I totally and completely trusted you... and that says a lot because that is hard to come by from me. I trust no one when it comes to planning things.

We thank you so much for taking care of us. It was truly AMAZING! We LOVE the pictures, DVD, and Rev. Mullings made us feel like he knew us for years. And the cake was DELICIOUS!!

Almarie – Thank you so much for making our wedding day a dream come true.  I would highly recommend your service to anyone!  The day started with a bit of rain, but that was just my mother-in law, grandfather, and my aunt crying from above.  After 10 to 15 minutes of tears, the sun came out, and brighten up the rest of our day.

I was very nervous about booking my wedding through a company that I found on the internet.  Then the fact that I was coming in by Cruse ship didn’t help my nerves any,  but Almarie stood by her word and our wedding day was very memorable.  She responded very promptly to all my emails and phone calls and assured me that every thing would be beautiful when I got there.  And yes, she was right.

The Ceremony, the flowers, and all the decorations were breath-taken.  The photographer  did a wonderful job with the picture.  The cake was gorgeous and taste very great.  We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Thanks again for everything

Booking our wedding with Tropical Weddings Jamaica was the best decision we ever made!

When Les and I initially started our planning our wedding we booked through the cruise ships’ wedding provider, thinking this was our only option.  We were less than thrilled with their lack of communication, and over priced packages and add-ons,  it became very clear  that we needed to explore other options, and find an independent wedding coordinator in Jamaica.

 Almarie, you were able to make all of this happen always with a smile on your face followed by “no problem Mon” You were always very prompt returning email correspondence, and when needed, you were also available via telephone.  You worked with us and gave us options that allowed us to create the perfect day, while staying within our budget.  With your help we were able to customize our wedding to suit our personalities and needs.  From the customized décor, music, vows, cake and flowers, to the transportation and steel drum band. 

Everything was so beautiful and very well organized.  I cannot say enough good things about you and your team.  Thank you Almarie, for making the wedding of our dreams into a reality.  We really couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out!  We can’t wait to come back to Jamaica some day to celebrate one of our anniversaries.  We will be sure to look you up when we do.

 All the best!

We are back home and getting settled into married life. I cannot thank you enough for making our wedding a dream come true. It was even more spectacular than we could have imagined. It was a breathtaking venue and it almost seems like a dream that we were there.
The Minister, flowers, limo, photographer, videographer, DJ and every other detail was perfectly arranged and executed. The service and our meal was amazing . We were also greatly impressed with the Minister who made our ceremony so personable even though he had never met us.

Otis was very professional and we have received many compliments on our pictures. Our DVD is a perfect keepsake of our special day.

***********************************************

I wanted to thank you for such a magnificent job you did on our wedding on July 19th. I have to admit I was a little worried when the thunderstorm rolled in at the exact time I was to meet the driver (Leslie?) in the lobby of our resort.

I thought for sure we would have to go to an alternate location but your quick thinking of using the canopy over the arch and table was brilliant! Everything turned out wonderful. The cake was delicious  and the photographs/DVD were beyond exceptional! We were very impressed and pleased with them! Ernie and Kendrick were more than happy to take all of the extra poses I wanted. They were great guys, very friendly and easy to talk to. They treated us like family and took very good care of us when they drove us to pick out our photos.

Very Sincerely,
Tammy and John Carroll

***********************************************   I am a Travel Agent and my daughter   wanted to be married in Jamaica when our  cruise ship stopped.  I was put in touch with Almarie from Tropical Weddings in Jamaica.  From that point forward, everything was in good hands.  All emails were quickly answered and all requests were handled.     The wedding setting was absolutely perfect - on the beach with an arch covered with white sheers and beautiful tropical flowers.   My daughter's bouquet was perfect and went well with the attendant ones I had made with artificial flowers.     The photographer and video photographer did a fantastic job and the photo memories overflow.    Almarie did a marvelous job and I would never want to use anyone else but her to plan a wedding in Jamaica.  Just one hint that didn't work - a unity candle just doesn't work on the beach - that soft Jamaican breeze is just too much.    Thank You Almarie and I wish the best for you and your staff in the future.    Sharon Ellis Travelific Tours and Travel Elk River, Minnesota ***********************************************   Nimesh and I wanted to thank you again for doing such a wonderful job organizing our wedding ceremony and reception on June 17, 2006. To say it worked out perfectly, would be an understatement. Obviously, planning a wedding while located in a different country altogether requires a lot of faith in the wedding planner, and you more than delivered.   Not to mention the fact that you had never organized an Indian Hindu Ceremony, and one could never tell, since everything was beautiful. We asked for bright colors and flowers on a beach location, and you delivered. The decorations were beautiful.  We had special requests for the food, and you again gave us everything we wanted and more. You set us up with extremely talented photographers and videographer, not to mention a steel drum band for the reception. Thank you again so much for making our wedding and reception, one to remember. We recommend you to anyone who wants a beautiful ceremony in Jamaica without all of the hassles of planning it. Thank you again,   Aru and Nimesh Washington D.C. *********************************************** Almarie at Tropical Weddings made all our wedding dreams come true!  She kept in contact with us until our departure to Jamaica & met with us the evening we arrived.  Anytime we emailed her a question, she was very quick to respond and made us feel completely comfortable being so far away.  Every detail was planned for us so all we had to do was show up.   There were no worries or troubles for us at all.  Almarie made everything so easy!  The location was beautiful and all of our pictures turned out great.  We would recommend Tropical Weddings to anyone planning a destination wedding.  Thank you again Almarie for making our wedding day so beautiful & memorable!!!   Brandon & Susan Davis *********************************************** On Sept 23, 2006 God was smiling down on me! It has always been my dream to have a beautiful wedding on the beach, being surrounded by my family and friends. For this day to become a reality was a dream come true. It is only my hopes that everyday for the rest of my life with my husband be as priceless as this one day was. I will remember it forever! I owe this happiness to Almarie of Tropical Weddings Jamaica. She made it all possible. I was very, very skeptical with planning a wedding via the internet, and especially skeptical planning our wedding to take place in another country, but Almarie  assured me everything was going to be alright…and it was! She was an angel in disguise. She planned my wedding according to our budget and it was a beautiful.  She always responded quickly. Whether it was a phone call or an email, she was prompt. She was very patient with me and my hubby with all of our questions and concerns. She even threw in some helpful suggestions to go along with our Island Fantasy Wedding.  Everything was “No Problem” with Almarie. Once we arrived in Jamaica, we met Almarie and she was even still providing last minute suggestions to make our dream wedding come true…I appreciate her thoughtfulness and patience! We had a beautiful ceremony in a private location and we really enjoyed ourselves! Almarie you were the best! I would recommend your services to anyone considering a wedding ceremony in Jamaica…For Sure! Thank you for making it all possible! Love, Mr. & Mrs. Markell Johnson   ***********************************************   Deciding on getting married was easy. It was the coordination of the wedding that was hard. We researched numerous websites, but the packages were either too expensive or the venue just wasn't right. We finally decided to have a simple Church Ceremony, though I've always wanted a beach wedding. Surprisingly, my cousin from New York forwarded me Almarie's website. Believe me, I was very skeptical about the whole thing. My main concerns were the office location, making my deposit to a genuine and honest vendor and so forth. Rest assured, I contacted Almarie via email and then by phone. She was a pleasant person, and we quickly developed a relationship. She had a warm persona and I could tell that she was easy to work with. She was very informative in providing all the information of the documents I needed and very patient on my behalf. She worked with me with the packages. I made so many changes. I think I was probably the worst Bride she had ever encountered. Now, this was our first wedding and we had family and friends attending from aboard. I wanted it to be perfect and it was. Almarie blew me away with the embellishment of the venue and the ceremony was breath taking. Not to mention, our wedding date was Aug 27, 2006 the same day hurricane Ernesto was heading for Jamaica. Nevertheless, with the overcast of the storm lurking in the sky, the photographer (Princess) did an excellent job. I wouldn't change anything about our wedding day. Everything was perfect. The pictures have a beautiful sunset background and we all enjoyed the mini reception. Almarie thank you once again for your phenomenal service. Patter-Gay & Kevin Rose Kissimmee, FL ***********************************************                        I had almost given up on being able to get married in Jamaica  (something I had always wanted to do) because our hotel had informed me we didn't  meet the time requirements. Then I found Tropical Weddings.  WHAT A WONDERFUL JOB.  Almarie kept in close contact with me prior to our arrival in Jamaica to keep me up to date.  She even went above and beyond the wedding planning and helped me chose tours for us while in Jamaica.  The wedding was BEAUTIFUL and went so smoothly.  It was GREAT.  I didn't have to do anything but show up.  After our arrival in Jamaica she continued to stay in contact with me to make sure we knew where to be for what tours and to make sure that we were happy with everything.  In fact, after my arrival home I discovered a souvenir I had purchased while in Jamaica broke on the trip home & Almarie sent me a new one! Talk about FANTASTIC service.  Thanks for making my dreams come true.!!!! Thanks so much for everything:   Tony & Terena Webb ***********************************************   Almarie, Thank you once again for a job well done! I must admit that while planning a destination wedding in Jamaica from Miami was nerve racking, you always soothed my nerves.  I was not exactly sure how everything would turn out but I couldn't be happier with the outcome.   Not only did Juan and I enjoy the most important day of our lives, but so did all of our guests!  Starting from the location (Waterfall)), the food and ending with all your final touches, the wedding was the most beautiful ever!   Our family and friends had never been to a wedding in which they enjoyed themselves soo much.  Once again, you are the bomb!!!! Thank you! Koodos to you and your staff!   Love, Jessy & Juan Piles ************************************************   We just wanted to say thank you Almarie for making our wedding day perfect!  It could not have turned out any better.  The waterfalls were spectacular and the flowers and decorations were just as beautiful.  Almarie made planning our wedding so easy and we were very happy that everything turned out fantastic and just how we wanted it!  The pictures and the wedding video was marvelous and they are definitely a great treasure that we can look back on forever.  Thank you Almarie for everything.  We'll be sure to come back to Jamaica sometime soon!   Jesse & Jennifer Lattin ***********************************************   I'm sure you can appreciate some of our initial concerns having opted to get married in Jamaica.  Being based out of London, time and distance were always going to make our venture challenging.   Monique and I were pleasantly surprised with your timely responses to our many questions and your willingness to help us with matters outside of our immediate wedding day.  From the fantastic steel drum band you booked for our cocktail party, to your input into the organization of Monique's hen due in MoBay, to the great sax player we had on the beach, and last but not least our brilliant DJ/MC -- you exceeded all of our expectations! Our pictures have turned out great and we still reminisce about our Reverend Gordon's sense of humor.  Rest assured that we would highly recommend your services to individuals considering getting married in Jamaica.   Thank you (again) Almarie for making our wedding day great AND for removing much of the stress we anticipated in the months leading up to our big day.   Wishing you all the best, Monique & Jasen Fauteux ***********************************************   Thank you so much for the beautiful wedding you arranged for us--everything from the setting to your staff were just simply wonderful!   The Reverend---what a great guy! He made our ceremony so meaningful. The setting was just as you promised and even more because of your creativity! The photographs & DVD were so beautiful, every moment was captured. Already, we can't wait to renew our vows with you. I cannot imagine anything more to have made our day so perfect. More power to you and your company! MaryEllen & Mike Ngo   *********************************************** From the moment we decided that a destination wedding was right for us, we knew we wanted a professional to handle all the details.  Almarie of Tropical Weddings was just the person we had in mind.  From documentation to coordination, no detail was left to chance, she kept us abreast of the plans as they unfolded, and, in true Jamaican fashion, she always had a "no problem, mon" attitude when it came to accommodating our special requests.   We couldn't be happier with our wedding, including the professionalism Almarie exhibited--even when faced with a last minute change in plans.  The whole experience was enjoyable, and the expert photographers and personable minister that Almarie supplied made the wedding completely unforgettable.   --Michael  & Jill Fraeyman ***********************************************   When we decided to get married, we searched the internet for a wedding planner in Jamaica.  We were a little hesitant to do this without knowing what would happen.  However, Almarie kept in contact with us and responded to all of our questions and concerns right up to the wedding.  She was persistent in calling our room until she was able to contact us after we arrived, and we were more relaxed after meeting with her.    She is very professional and pleasurable to deal with and we would recommend her to anyone considering a Jamaican wedding.  It was so nice not to have to make arrangements or worry about the paperwork.    We were also pleased with the pictures that were taken by the photographer that she works with.   Our sunset wedding was beautiful and intimate, just as we had hoped!   Tim & Cindy Schoonmaker   *********************************************** We were so excited to decide on Jamaica for our destination wedding, but we were also very nervous about how to plan everything so far away.  We were so lucky to find Almarie and Tropical Weddings Jamaica!  It was such a relief to be able to talk to one person about all aspects of my wedding and know she'd handle everything personally.  Almarie was so quick to respond to all of our emails and seemed as excited about our big day as we were!    She called the day we arrived in Jamaica to make sure we had arrived safely, then came to meet with us the next day.  She's beautiful and always looked professional, we were very pleased.  We were also very happy with the photography and video team she uses.  Our pictures and video were wonderful!    Our wedding day was truly the greatest day in both of our lives!  We are so lucky that we chose Almarie to make sure it turned out as beautifully as we imagined!  I'd recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!   Thanks so much again!   Patrick and Stephanie Cordell   *********************************************** We were married on March 22, 2006 and my husband and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding. It was simple and beautiful. Aric had always dreamed of a barefoot wedding on the beach and that is what he got. I really didn't have much planning to do, everything was taken care of by Tropical Weddings. From the photographers, to the bouquet everything was wonderful. My husband, our family and I were picked up in the port of our cruise ship and taken to the wedding site. Following the ceremony, we were taken to Margaritaville and our photos were delivered to us at the restaurant before our ship left port again. The quality and choices were excellent.  I would highly recommend Tropical Weddings to anyone. Thank you so much for making our wedding day dreams come true! Aric & Dawn  Peterson   ***********************************************   Charles and I would like to thanks Almarie and her wonderful staff on a job well done. I was very nervous about using a company that I had found on the internet to perform our wedding, but Almarie was so professionally in handling the plans and really stood by her word.  She responded to every email promptly and everything she said she would do she did. She is definitely a woman of great integrity.  The staff was very friendly and fun to be around and help contribute tremendously in make our day a dream come true. Also, the pictures were magnificent!!!!!!!  Thanks, Charles & Sheledre Maxwell   ***********************************************
