    Iberostar Rose Hall Brides - Post all info/questions here!

    in Jamaica Accommodations & Site

    Posted

    Hi Sjay,

     

    Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you.  The petals down the middle of the isle are real.  I did pay a bit extra for those, not sure how much.  You'll have to ask the coordinator.  It was advised that real petals are better as they are heavier than the fake petals, and would do much better in case there was wind.  We lucked out, not much wind at all! The candles stayed lit the entire  duration of our ceremony.  No trick was necessary.  I guess it also depends on the weather and what time of day. Who knows!? I was glad I picked an outdoor wedding! So much fun, especially with the steel drums!

     

    Best of luck,

    Abby

    It's been just a little bit over a year since I tied the knot at Iberostar Rose Hall in Montego Bay.  We had a blast.  Here's is my slide show link that Sandy May, my photographer put together.  She and her husband, Pata, were wonderful to work with! She was quick responding, very reliable, and trustworthy.  I received all of my pics on a CD just a few weeks later at home.

    Also, If there is anyone interested in touring the country, I would highly recommend booking tours with Ken Gracey who operates Doctorbird Tours!  He grew up in Jamaica as a boy and knew a lot of about the towns.  My small group of 20 booked several personal and private tours with him and felt very safe and trusted doing business with him.  He is so easy going and laid back!  He even drop me to my Trash the Dress site, which was a nice small secluded beach.  One great thing about Ken is how he takes pictures of you and your group during the entire trip and burns the photos on a CD for you to take home! You can search him on tripadvisor.

    Hey JessicaC,

     

    I have too am having my wedding at IRHB and have called them a couple times with questions.  The first time I called, I asked if I could speak to the wedding coordinator or anyone whowould be able to answer my wedding questions, but no one was there. From my impression, their either really busy or they only work a few days in the week.  So you have to catch the wedding coordinator at just the right time.  After a couple of tries, I did get a hold of someone, but it seems like whether i wrote an email or personally called, the response time is the same. Then again, if you have the time to call, it's worth a try, especially since your wedding is so near.

     

    And I wouldn't worry too much about the photography stuff.  You can always upgrade later, right?  But I am looking at my "extra charges" sheet that they had emailed me and they have a few different packages that range from $300 (24 pics) to $875 (70 pics).  The DVD (edited appro. 45 mins) is $350. And it also says that the processing of photos takes 3 days after being shot.

     

    Good luck!

    Sunset at the Palms vs. Moon Dance Villas

    I'm right there with you Terri! I have reservations at Beaches Sandy Bay in Negril and really don't want a cookie cutter Marths Stewart wedding with many restrictions.

     

    I'm thinking of Sunset at the Palms as well. The price range is a bit lower, but you do have less ammenities. I feel like Moon Dance Villas is a bit more expensive compared to the Sunset.

    Sandals/Beaches vs. RIU

    I'm also debating whether to stay with Beaches Negril or now go to Riu Negril because of pricing. After spreading the news about our destination wedding less were excited about it...because the cost it would require for their family.

     

    Would anyone also know more specifics about the wedding planning process at Riu? Since having decided on Sandals I have been working with a TA for a short while to see what her role would be and she seems very flexible and helpful...even seems to have local venues/resources to make your big day that much more special and unique. it's a package. There are some decoration ideas i would like to customize. I wonder what the Riu wedding packages look like? It would be nice to see pictures of a Riu wedding vs. Beaches wedding. It would be great to see someone's Riu Wedding photos ceremony decor and reception decor!
