The prices were more expensive, but not outrageous since we booked so far in advance.

Thanks - I am going to email Vanessa about it...

So you didn't get some kind of confirmation after entering that info, confirming your wedding time/date? I originally got an email stating a confirmation number from Vanessa, who then told my TA I had to enter in my booking code to confirm the wedding. I did this a week ago - so that's it, short of dealing with Chandlyn to confirm details of the wedding?

Ok, so I reserved my ROR wedding online, got a confirmation code and then got a booking code from my TA to enter into the site. I did this a week ago and haven't had an email from ROR since. Should I have? After you enter your booking code does the ROR contact you again? I'm so confused...

Thanks Julie - if anyone else has recommendations I'd really appreciate them! Thanks!

Thanks Melissa - I will try contacting her. Did she do your wedding?

Can anyone recommend a good DW photographer from Toronto?

Can anyone recommend a good destination wedding photographer based out of Toronto?

I can't see the pictures :<

Do those of you bringing in an external photog are generally paying over 5K to do so? That's quite a large additional cost.

Thanks everyone!

For all of you bringing in an external photographer, could you give me a ballpark figure of what that is costing you? (including travel expenses) I have no idea what photography costs, but it is important to me and I'd like to have an idea of how expensive the options are. For those of you using Michael's services, can any of you give me an idea of his costs? Thanks!

We are going to say "help celebrate the wedding of" on our post-wedding reception invites.

Wow - you guys are awesome (and quick!). Lizz, thanks for spending the time to reply in so much detail. I really appreciate it! Becky, what is the Seagrape like? Does anyone know what the menu at the Plantation is like? I know at the Mammee restaurant you can order off the menu...

I am getting married at the ROR in March 2009. I am soooooooooooo confused about the whole process currently. If someone (anyone!) could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it. Here's what I want: 1. Wedding in the beach gazebo (I clicked "beach" since beach gazebo wasnt' an option) 2. I want decorations from the resort of some sort. 3. I want to rent the chair covers - I also want the chair covers at the reception. 4. I think I want a private reception. (I'm not sure on this - input?) My questions: 1. I booked the "free" wedding package online because I really do not understand the options available. Do I get a reception of any sort with the "free" wedding? I hardly saw any difference in between the packages but some make reference to the number of guests so I wasn't sure. 2. Does anyone know what options are available for receptions? 3. Do I just contact the wedding coordinator with these questions? Can I change my mind on anything - ? There was no way I was clicking the boxes on the site for flowers and whatnot with absolutely no idea what they looked like! Any input would really be appreciated - thanks!

March 18, 2009 - the first March '09 bride!!!

Hi Kandys! I'm in the exact same boat as you! I'm getting married in March 2009 at the ROR. We've just reserved our wedding date and put deposits in on our first block of rooms. Have you ever seen this (or heard of) this site: Wedding Planning Guide and Free Wedding Websites - mywedding.com I just made a wedding website through them (it's free!) and I'm starting to organize all the information for my guests. It's a great site! They have tons of options to choose from in terms of layout and content. They even have a few beach-themed templates.

Hi everyone! I'm so happy to have found this site - it's been so helpful already! I'm Erin and my fiance and I are getting married in Jamaica in March 2009. We are so excited (and a little overwhelmed as well!) at the planning. We've reserved our wedding date, so we are hoping things will start to fall in place over the next year. Nice to meet you all!
