omg, it looks like u guys had an awesome time, i plan on getting married at the RTB july 2010, i am do glad to hear that u and your guests were treated wih great customer service, that is really important to my FI and i.....i am so happy to have read you post and found someone who had a wedding at this resort recently ...i have so many questions about the ceremony/reception....your answers would be so helpful, as i know there are a lot of brides going crazy as i am about planning destination weddings
1.I am sooo pleased to hear u had a great experience w/ Keneika, the wedding coordinator, How far in advance before your wedding date are you in contact with the wedding coordiantor? and is it mostly thru email or by phone?
2.For the wedding ceremony, i figured chair covers weren't necessary, because they would be white lawn chairs... so i am opting not to get them.....do you think that i should?
3.I would really like to know the floral options available....i am a nutty butty about flowers....For the wedding ceremony do they have different options of floral arrngements/styles/colors to chose from? if so are there a lot, or is there a link to the floral options?
4. I know each wedding package contains a bridal bouquet and matchin groom boutonierre, but how much xtra is for each bridesmaids bouquet and matching groomsmen boutonierre?
5.Since the RTB is an all inclusive resort and we will be getting the Caprice package (60 people) and it includes the semi private dinner, we werent going to pay xtra for the private reception? would you suggest paying xtra for a private reception? Also what does the semi private reception include, where is it held, and how long does it last?
6.I was told that they allow outside vendors for a day rate of about US $80-100, if they are not guests at the resort.....Did they allow you to use outside vendors such as photographers, videographers,florists,etc..?
7. Does the semi private reception include different options of tablecloths/centerpiece/chair covers, etc.. or would you suggest bringing in your own / or using an outside vendor....Is it even necessary to have decorations w/ the semi private reception?
8.My FI is a dj, and would like to rent out the club after our reception, were u able to check out the nightclub, and if so what did it look like??
I know I have asked u a gazillion questions:)...thanx so much for taking the time out to answer!!!!! and u looked ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS in your wedding dress
