Kenneth & I got married @ Humminbird Hall December 8 2011. We are from Texas and were going on a cruise with our kids and parents and were looking for somewhere that would work with us being a strict time frame and that didn't cost a fortune. There were 2 places in Montego Bay that we looked @, but immediately after looking at the photos on H.H's website we fell in love with the entire package. I am extremely particular on details, and Alisha was AMAZING and acepted every single one of my ideas. Our package was a basic "elopement" package so it didn't include alot of extras (DJ, photographer, custom flowers) But Alisha was happy to let me ave my "upgraded" bouquet at no additional charge, because I didn't have a bridal party, so only 1 bouquet was needed. We didn't realize til less than a month before that we didn't have a photographer or DJ (which I did panic about). You can ring your own music on an I-Pod for them to use instead of paying for a DJ, which actually worked alot better since we weren't there long enough to fully use a DJ. The photographer part was going to be tricky, but completely unexpected, Alisha stepped in and took about 500 breathtaking photographs with our camera. The staff also went around the property and caught us a few butterflies for the butterfly release as a surprise. There was one staff member that went above and beyond that day, she went out of her way to help me and my daughters get ready for the ceremony, eleviating so much stress and made my wedding day even more perfect. I had a very specific image that I was looking for in my wedding and Hummingbird Hall created everything I envisioned and more. I have recommended them to everyone that I know that is getting married. We will definitely return to Rose Hall Estate in the future. There really couldn't be a better choice of venue in Montego Bay:)

What can I say, the overall service was amazing. Being from the UK and organising a wedding abroad left some anxiety on whether we were going to have our dream wedding. Hummingbird Hall was above expectation and much more.Alisha and her staff were informative and professional throughout, which they have left a lasting impression for us and our guest.Thank youLove from Mr and Mrs Dennis

As a recent Hummingbird bride I cannot stop praising the venue!!Everything went without a hitch from start to finish...and I'm not sure how many destination brides can say that - so thank you very much.In the runup we worked with Tahliah, Alisha, Rosa and Michelle a lot ...all were a pleasure to work with, professional and very accommodating.As for the day of the wedding, from the moment I went through those iron gates I just felt overcome with serenity. EVERYTHING was taken care of, which allowed me to remain in the moment, not stress and ENJOY marrying my best friend.I don't have a negative word - it was perfect - and I'd marry (my hubby!!) again just to marry at Hummingbird :)Love,Pam and Dean

I would say the wedding planning was choppy - their additional extras cost a lot - eg extra people on the golf cart tour and non standard flowers - but our actual wedding was slick and professionally run.

We had a rustic themed wedding at hummingbird hall in August.Our colours were purple and gold. We chose the standard buffet and had the standard package without the band. We had 30 guests. We used Hummingbird’s Full alcoholic bar but with top shelf liquor we brought ourselves.We had debated about having a church wedding ceremony but decided instead on having everything at Hummingbird. In the end it worked out well. I was worried about the changeover but our guests said they enjoyed looking at the art during Cocktails. Our favourite part of our experience was Hummingbird’s hospitality and willingness to assist us and our guests. The organiziation and planning part can seem a little overwhelming, but it was worth it in the end. Everything was coordinated well. We don't have any reservations on how the event, staff, decorations, service etc were handled. We are very pleased with the service we received from the initial consultation all the way to getting our certificates through the post with one exception.Exception being: our experience with the wire process/Rosa in accounts. Their contract states that there are penalties if the money is late. On one occasion the bank took 9 days to transfer our money and even though we weren’t charged a penalty in the end Rosa’s attitude could have been more understanding/nicer (hence the 4.5/5 for flexibility). We’d still recommend the venue though.

Wow!! Our wedding was August 14th 2011 and it was a talk of the town. When my husband and I was looking for Venue, we where just not getting what we always envision upon till one day we came across Hummingbird Hall, it was just so beautiful. I could never took my eyes off the website, until we where contacted by Alisha with the help of Michelle (staff member) who was so prompt. At first we thought we could never afford a wedding ,but Alisha and her staff work around our budget and it was just stress free!! From the start to finish Alisha was just amazing!We both live in Canada and we where just so amazed with the quick responses the staffs were just so professional!! The location is very beautiful, not to mention the food, the service(we were treated very well) One thing i can say though that Alisha always have plan B, she's just great with what she does. i could never imagine a wedding day without Hummingbird Hall..upon till today we are just so happy that we choose this venue. We are defenatley coming back to celebrate our Anniversary.Thanks again for all the hard work and we so grateful for everything. Kanesha and Branson Green

By Andrea and Kojo.Over a year ago we started our search for a wedding planner. We had originally planned on hiring a planner and separate venue but thank God we found Hummingbird in the end.We had a tele-conference with Alisha round about booking and were sold.I let her know I’m a bit of a control freak and by no means an easy bride *smile*Her attitude then..and ever since..has been one of professionalism…courtesy.. patience (PATIENCE!!) and just genuine pleasure. Throughout the course of the year I probably changed my mind 100s of times on wedding details/ décor plans . Each time, I simply shot off an email to the ladies at Hummingbird and they made the change happen.Whether I was on their live chat (keeping them up way past closing time) or on the phone – I just felt the ladies were attentive and wanted what we wanted: a perfect wedding.I’ll admit - the week I arrived in Jamaica I did have a lot of anxiety. Alisha and her ladies were very supportive and a calming influence. In fact, Alisha even met with me the day after the Rehearsal at our resort: I appreciated that.The day of my wedding everything worked out PERFECTLY with Michelle as my day of planner. She did not miss a thing and everything was as agreed.I truly loved my wedding and working with Hummingbird Hall. In fact, we’d like “publicly” to highlight a few people who made our day/experience extra special.- Tahlia: thanks for doing a great job on the site- Rev Hind: thanks for making us so relaxed and our ceremony so meaningful and sincere- Michelle / Lola: thanks for the time you spent with us on the live chat. The late nights did not go unnoticed and were genuinely appreciated- Rosa: for issuing countless amendments to contract – with cheer and professionalism – thank you- DJ (not too sure of his name). Thanks for keeping the party rocking!- Alisha: thank you for EVERYTHING!!!!! You have such a nice, sweet soul and are amazingly talented. Your ceaseless energy and enthusiasm was noted – thank you!

I dreamed of a special day and it came true. I now wonder why I was such a worrier! The table settings were unlike any wedding I have ever attended. Nothing plastic or cheap just very classy. They took care of absolutely everything. We never felt rushed and the staff were enjoying us as much as we were enjoying them. Everything was awesome!

It was extremely important that our wedding was beautiful - obviously- but even more it was important that our wedding represented a goodinvestment and value for money.In February we held a wedding for 120 close family and friends atHH. we wanted a venue that could accommodate our guests comfortably,but was also intimate and personal enough for everyone to feel included.As we had chosen not to have a wedding in a resort - securitywas another v important factor.On all counts HH proved the perfect choice.The staff at HH were also very knowledgeable and professional. Rev Edwards set the tone v well, and our guests were servedquickly when it came to the meal service. The food was also very tasty.THe DJ took note of our pre selected songs and the venue was decked out beautifully.HH deserve their good reputation. Without question:10/10.

Wow! Where to start! Our wedding at Hummingbird Hall was superb. Truly truly superb. The air there is full of love and we will never forget the amazing memories we made there.It's difficult to narrow the specific reasons why we (and our guests) are still on a high from our wedding, but things that particularly stand out: 1.Staff before hand. Michelle – totally amazing miracle worker. We were getting buried in the bureaucracy of Jamaica trying to acquire documents which we needed for the wedding licence – this led to many, many sleepless nights. We happened to mention this to Michelle one night on the chat – and *amazingly* she sorted everything out. Our WEEKS of worry were solved in one conversation – we cannot thank her enough2.Staff @ the wedding. They were so nice! Even our guests commented- we were always greeted with a smile, “yah mon”, “no problem” and “respect”. 3.The food – delicious. We had the curried chicken, sweet and sour fish and jerk pork.4.Décor – Alisha – hands down – bustles with talent. She condensed all of our emails into the most 'look'. Our centerpieces – or – as she says “tablescapes” were stunning.The people there combined with the scenery make this one of the most unique and happiest place we've visited and the most perfect venue for our wedding.Do we recommend this place? Certainly!

Our agent suggested we take a look at Hummingbird Hall so we took a visit to the property in June. We had initially had our heart set on a Negril beach wedding however from the moment we walked in we knew Hummingbird Hall was our place. The view is out-of-this world and the house just has an immediate warmth that grabbed us. It may be the yellow, it may be the gardens, but it has a very happy and loving energy.Our gut feeling was right!Our wedding at Hummingbird was *insert superlative here* . I know everyone probably thinks that their wedding rocks (!) but ours really did ;-)The food -- the staff -- the decorations -- the butterflies -- the location -- the bunch of herbs they gave to my mum from the garden EVERYTHING about our wedding felt so special. We have nothing but thanks and praise for Hummingbird Hall!

we had a great Day. thank you.
