[Sasha_Cool 0]

As some of you all my already know. I am in Jamaica just about every 2 weeks.

My sister is a professional wedding planner and we decided to open a Wedding Store in Jamaica together.

Thank You's

I got the location this week (Praise God!) & I AM SO EXCITED (to those of you, who knew I was considering this.

Thank you all for the help and advice, feedback positive and negative). I really appreciate it.

Onward:

I would like for anyone who is interested to send me some feedback. I am asking so that I have input from a variety of women.

All races, cultures, backgrounds and most importantly Budgets.

Thanks Again Ladies,

I am a VJ newbie. I was in Jamaica in September and my fiance and I saw the commercial on t.v. and smiled at each other. We actually considered checking it out, but due to finances we are going to wait. We are planning to get married in the states, then have a vow renewal and reception in Jamaica at a later date and will come by your bridal shop.

Q 1. She has to be friendly and not just fake friendly and have the ability to listen and envision the bride and groom to be dream wedding.

Q 2. What would impress me most is that she is really taking the time out to know what I exactly wants and within the price range specified and not trying to secretly upsale me if it wasn't in my best interest.

Q 3. I don't have a clue what the going rate for a wedding lanner is now.

Q 4. Overwhelmingly unorganized bridal clutter. It should be well organized by type of needs. So, I was a bride and only needed wedding favors I would expect it to be to the front of the store not way in the back. Bridal gowns and tuxedos should be to the back of the store.

Q 5. Same as question 3.

Thanks Again Ladies,

I would want a "one stop shop." Meaning, as a busy woman I want to be able to speak to you and give you an idea of what I want and you take it and run with it and get back with me with ideas. For example, I never had a wedding and am planning one for JA in December of 2010. I live here and would like you to plan it with me even though I am not able to be there right now. Let me know what you think.
