It is quite literally impossible to list out all of the reasons why we love and appreciate Alicia…read moreand why she was the best decision we made for our Jamaican destination wedding. But, I'm going to try my best to summarize! What I first appreciated about Alicia was her way of walking you through information, step by step, so as to not overwhelm you. Diving into a destination wedding already feels overwhelming to begin with. But, she was the only person we talked to who actually managed our overwhelm - and didn't just pile on to it with unnecessary information or all the potential future issues to tackle right out the gate. From day one, she walked us through the planning and decision-making process step by step in a way that was easily digestible and built a lot of trust and ease immediately. It only took a few initial consultations with other planner/agents (and walking away from those spinning and feeling like we had more questions than answers and more problems to solve than we started with) to know that Alicia was the perfect fit for us. Our dreams for our wedding extravaganza went far above and beyond your average destination wedding. We got married in Jamaica, had around 50 guests from all over the world and turned it into a couple-week-long celebration with almost daily activities and excursions for everyone. And Alicia couldn't have managed our group, dreams, wants and crazy ideas better than she did. Alicia is your ultimate "yes woman" - no dream is too big - while still managing realistic expectations along the way. There were SO many things we had never thought of when it came to planning a wedding in another country - and having Alicia by our side, guiding us through it was truly invaluable. When I say we never would have had THE destination wedding (and honeymoon) of our dreams if we hadn't worked with her, I believe that wholeheartedly. She is a complete and utter rockstar and went above and beyond for us. She knows what's possible (or will help you find out), she has so many connections and she's intimately familiar with the different cultures (which, we quickly learned, was an invaluable piece of the puzzle when coordinating an event of this magnitude and in a country we weren't too familiar with ourselves.) Alicia is the sweetest woman you'll ever meet (our guests all loved working with her too, as she helped manage their travel and board too - and even continued to use her services outside of our wedding as well!) - but can also be the ballbuster you need when necessary. She put out countless fires throughout our wedding experience (which are bound to happen on a wedding day - let alone a multi-week-long extravaganza juggling 50 people lol) and usually solved them all before they ever even reached us. The love and appreciation we have for Alicia is immeasurable. She handled our group's big personalities with ease and grace and embraced our wild wedding dreams and helped to make them a reality. She felt like family by our wedding day and is part of our core memories when it comes to our entire wedding experience. We couldn't be more thankful she came into our lives! Also, a HUGE shoutout to her team - we were extremely appreciative of them and all their hard work! They added so much to the experience and we just adored them! I could go on and on detailing everything she did for us... but I'll leave it by reiterating that working with Alicia was the best decision we made when wedding planning. From the bottom of our hearts, we couldn't thank her enough for all that she did for us! Lastly, if you got through this and still have any doubts or questions about working with Two Pineapples in Paradise, I'd be happy to chat and answer any questions about my experience (@heystefanilarson). I have zero doubts that working with her will be the best decision you make as well! We love you forever, Alicia!!!

Alicia & Two Pineapples in Paradise is a complete NIGHTMARE to work with. Communication at the…read morebeginning was what I would call "love bombing". Very excited, very helpful, very encouraging. Once you book and make that deposit, communication becomes lacking. Multiple of my guests had issues getting in contact with Alicia. Often times, Alicia would go days, or weeks, without answering if answered at all. Her "assistant" Hannah often times would respond after you've emailed multiple times and inform you that Alicia is "out of office" yet again. Thankfully I got in contact with my wedding planner from Sandals/Beaches and planned a lot of it with her through emails, because Alicia missed a lot of information and we missed out on one of the locations we really wanted due to this. We were able to pick another location, but obviously you never want to settle when it is your wedding day. The location we originally picked was not available from the beginning, which was communicated to Alicia, but never communicated to us until about 1.5 months before we were set to fly to Jamaica. What is normally stressful as a bride, was made almost unbearable by using her services. We also booked our honeymoon through Alicia, in which credits were misplaced and we also had a "free catamaran cruise" but that was never communicated to us until the resort was attempting to fix our credits on the day before departing. I reached out to Alicia due to finding her on the Sandals/Beaches website & another travel planner at the same time. Alicia charges for her services, a hefty fee, where others do not. Due to this, I thought she would be more qualified, diligent, and involved. I was very wrong. The only time Alicia was prompt with communication is when she wanted her payment toward the end of planning, when issues were still being had with getting my credits/refund. We flew out, and Alicia did not reach out to us until the morning of the wedding. Not once did she check on how things were going at the resort, mind you she also charges a large fee to fly to the resort with you and 'assist' which we opted not to do since the experience had already been extremely frustrating. On returning home, she also did not reach out. These may seem like small things but when you book a wedding with 35+ people traveling to a foreign country, you could wish them safe travels? Fortunately my wedding was great, and I'm so thankful I got in contact with the wedding planners offsite, and the onsite team was amazing. There were definitely moments that needed to be fixed last minute & unfortunately this left a very negative impact on us. I would highly recommend and suggest doing research before hiring someone like this for your biggest day, or even small travel. I have screenshots and emails from all communication. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me for more information on my review.

Last night our little girls fairy-tale wedding came to life at Whispering Creek Ranch!…read more A year ago when we first started looking and then picked WCR for the venue, we met Judith Shaw. She worked with us, answered questions, re-answered questions and had so much patience with me (a very picky MOB- not bridelizza, but just detail oriented) Judith Shaw became Miss Judith to us and the biggest help ever!! All the amenities that she offers saved us tons! The vendor list she offers (but doesn't require) was SO helpful!! At rehearsal, Miss Judith shewelcomed all the family, and was there for any of our request - On the BIG DAY- she double checked every detail and her staff took care everything and left us with nothing to worry about! the Chapel and Reception hall were perfect, the sunset photos were breath taking, and the horse drawn carriage that she arranged was PERFECT!!! The evening ended with me giving Miss Judith the biggest and most sincere hug ever!! We couldn't have done this without her! I seriously recommend WCR and Miss Judith to anyone-

___________________________________________________________________________…read more" I was married at WCR April, 2015. Our wedding and reception were perfect and we certainly could not have imagined anything better. Recently I called Mrs. Shaw (it was our anniversary month) just to say hello and once again thank her. In our conversation, she related to me the story about Kevin Ledezma's wedding and the false statements he made. Unfortunately, Google will not allow an owner or employees of a business to give their side of a story. . If his comments concern you, I urge you to talk with Mrs. Shaw. She would be grateful for you to hear the "other side of the story" . . . so far removed from the false statement's of Kevin Ledezma. Our family has had 2 weddings (mine and my cousins), a family reunion and a retirement party at WCR .. because it is such a wonderful venue. We would not have returned time and time again had we had a bad experiences. The venue is lovely and you should call and/or visit. JJ

We had such a great time in our airstream rental. Admittedly, we were there in August and it was…read morevery hot inside the airstream but the hosts were quick to bring us a box fan which made it very comfortable and even nearly cold at night. We went to the store and bought lettuce, carrots and apples and really enjoyed feeding all the farm animals- so much so that we made a second trip to the store to restock. Both mornings of our stay two horses and a donkey were roaming outside of our airstream and even came up to us to let us pet them and feed them some healthy snacks. Overall, we couldn't ask for a better experience and we are looking forward to booking again possibly when the weather is a little cooler. Thanks for a great time!

While this place is very unique and had some fun things like the horses and kids library! I feel…read morethe pictures are misleading. The carriage house we stayed in wasn't as clean as the pictures on the site when you book it. Seems a little more run down. The inside is fine, obviously small but has amenities you need. The grill they have was very rusted and in my opinion not safe at all. If you have it on your site to have to use then maybe one that isn't rusted through and spill's charcoal all over the ground. This house also is in the hub of the area with animals and the food barn- we had a number of people try to open the door so I wish they had a sign on the front stoop stating it's a cabin! My other issue is with this cabin that isn't told is that a worker or people on the property will open the side (right side pictured) and there is laundry I assume or something they use as storage- it was NOT ok on a Saturday when we are sleeping for someone to start going in there and banging around at 6:30 in the morning!! Like come on! It should've been an appropriate time after 8 or at least a text from them letting us know! Woke my kiddo up and you can hear everything since the house is old! Overall the experience was fine but definitely wish they would be more honest on pictures and site. The other properties on the grounds look more well kept so maybe we would try those.
