My husband and I were married at the Ruins on September 5, 2009. It was wonderful. Many have spoken about how the place has fallen into disrepair. Nothing is further from the truth! The waterfall was sparkling, the minister was professional and spiritually grounded, the food and service was excellent. There was a minor electrical problem when the DJ moved... more

I had my wedding reception at the Ruins at the Falls on August 29th, 2009. The staff was wonderful. I didn't have to run around to find my vendors, who were very professional in delivering their services. The place is beautiful with a nice photographic location, complimented by the beautiful water falls. It is well kept, and the food is... more

We had our wedding at the Ruins at the Falls on August 15th, of 2009 and it was our dream wedding. We are not quite sure where the other reviews are coming from, stating that it was a run-down, etc, etc. We can admit that from the outside, it does not look like much, but once you step inside it's... more

My husband and I had our wedding at The Ruins at the Falls October 11, 2008.

We had our wedding reception for about 100 local and international guests at the Ruins on July 11, 2009. We are so glad that we were not put off by some of the reviews that we read on this site. Everything was PERFECT. Ruins has absolutely the BEST wedding reception in Ocho Rios. We did extensive research on other venues... more

My fiance, myself and my close friend had dinner here a few days before our wedding at Hibiscus Lodge in Ocho Rios. We had considered having our wedding at The Ruins but changed our minds after doing a site inspection and I'm very glad that we did. The Ruins used to be in much better shape years ago. It is... more

I recently had my wedding at the Ruins. Everything went spectacularly. We had the ceremony by the beautiful waterfall that is in the center of the restaurant. Our reception was on the orchid deck. Our coordinator was Kenisha Zhu, who was fantastic from start to finish. She was very willing to give estimates and advise as to how the wedding... more

This is a spectacular place for a destination wedding reception!!! The setting speaks for itself, with a waterfall as the main attraction on the property and the beautiful tropical atmosphere. Our guests were in Aww as they crossed the bridge and saw what they were in store for the rest of the night. Although the setting was great, the staff... more

We are from the U.S. and chose The Ruins at the Falls for our Valentine's Day 2009 wedding after reading about the location online and getting recommendations from family and friends. It turned out to be a fantastic experience from beginning to end! Nickesha and the entire staff at The Ruins were always helpful and very resourceful. My wedding planner... more

My wedding day on March 7, 2009, was very beautiful, fun and made more romantic, being nestled in the picturesque oasis that is The Ruins at the Falls. I couldn't ask for anything better, the staff was accommodating, professional, courteous, friendly and always on hand to help if needed. The food was superb, the musician was great and kept the... more
