This is great, thanks alot

I just wondered if anyone has any pictures of the wedding cakes that are included in the wedding package? We have gone with the Royal package and this includes a cake for approx 10 people I think. Thanks

Ellipse22, I am getting married at the beach gazebo I think, thats the location I am really going towards, how about you?

I really think that the rose petal look will look very romantic.

Thanks for all the info.

Hi, I'm getting married at the ROR and I wanted to have rose petals scattered up the aisle, as I think this looks really beautiful, but I have no idea how much you would need, do any of you know? I was thinking of getting my petals at home and taking them with me.

I've heard that freeze dried petals are a good choice as they do not wilt or stain. Have any of you used these? if not what did you use?

Great, thanks alot for your info x

Hi there, just wondered what everyone was doing / or has done for there reception tables. I have booked the Mammee Bay restaurant for my reception meal and have 16 guests. I wanted to make the tables look nice but am limited on what I can take out because of my luggage allowance and size of my case. Does anyone have any nice ideas?

I would like to do something nice for my guests as they are travelling so far to see us get married. What do you put in your OOT bags (as this is the first time I have heard of these, but think they could be a nice idea).

I have read a few times about beach and poolside receptions, does anyone know if they are doing this at ROR? If so is there minimum numbers or additional costs involved??

This site is so amazing, I do not know what I would have done without it!

You look so beautiful and your pictures are amazing, I keep looking at them!

How was the hotel / photoshop about you bringing in your own photographer? I read that the photoshop do not let outside photographers on site. I just think your photographer has taken some lovely shots.

Sorry I am getting married at the Riu Ocho Rios.

Thanks for your picture it looks so beautiful, it has made me feel even more excited about going! If you could e-mail the catalogue that would be great my e-mail address is [email protected] - thanks so much!

I have gone for the Royal package too and am not sure what that includes. Has anyone else had this package and know what they offer?

Hello All,

Just wondered if any of you have any pictures of the different set-ups you can have for the wedding ceremony and how much they cost? I really like the look of the beach gazebo and think that I might be going for that one.

Also what shoes are people wearing?? I've got some wedges to wear, as I need a heel seeing as I am 5ft and my hubby to be is 6'1"!! but I am worried that I am going to sink in the sand...x

Thanks so much for your info, I think that I will do the same as you, if I put it in a cabin size bag there is also no way of my hubby to be sneaking a peak!!

Hi there, hope you don't mind me joining in but I am another ROR bride that has booked through Thomsons for my wedding. I am getting married on 22nd July, and going out 14th - 28th July.

I have to say I don't think that Thomsons have been the most helpful people! I was given my wedding date by Thomsons but told that everything else regarding knowing the wedding time and any extra's we wanted to book couldnt be done until we were out there.

After going on this forum I could see that people knew when they were getting married and had booked all the extra's, so I decided to contact the hotels wedding co-ordinator directly, who told me what time we were getting married (which we have since changed as they gave us 11am and we have extra guests arriving the evening before), we have booked extras like the steel band, evening reception, photographer etc. So I would say anything that you want go directly to Chandlyn, she has been a real star!

Do you know what you are doing about taking your dresses, are you able to take them on as hanging hand luggage?

Wishing you all the best for your weddings, I am so excited and am counting the days till I go xx
