New concierge Web site is a one-stop shop for Jamaican weddings
MIAMI – A woman’s wedding day is chock full of high expectations, details and deadlines — not to mention once in a lifetime memories. Recently launched Web site Islandbridejamaica.com provides brides seeking to get married in Jamaica with a slew of options for choosing caterers, photographers, cake decorators, wedding planners, the right location, florists and other such “big day” essentials. The best part is: it’s all in one place.
The Web site is the brainchild of friends Shikima Hinds and Carmel Legros, who developed the idea after a casual conversation in May of 2008. “We started talking about weddings and began throwing ideas back and forth, and, before we knew it, we were taking notes,” says Hinds. Hoping to appeal to the growing popularity and economical allure of destination weddings, the Web site offers sound advice for everything from packing tips, marriage license instructions and ways to transport a wedding dress, to a concierge service that will assist in making arrangements for transportation from the airport to the wedding locale.
To receive personalized service, all the bride has to do is fill out a brief online form and provide information about what kind of wedding details she would like assistance with. In less than 24 hours a representative will contact her with referrals to the best professionals on the island for her needs. Island Bride Jamaica offers three different packages of concierge services: from basic guidance and suggestions to the ultimate in pampered coverage, which includes venue scouting, itinerary planning, booking hotel accommodations and a complimentary welcome gift for the bride and groom.
The Web site’s user-friendly tab format provides easy navigation for wedding-researchers who have numerous questions and not enough resources with knowledgeable answers. For more information, visit www.islandbridejamaica.com
