Hi everyone, sorry for the delay. Attached please find two pictures of the items that are available. The blue is the chair sash and the orange is the table runner. All are still available!

Hi everyone!!

My wedding has come and gone and it's time for me to finally part with some wedding decor. I have 50 aqua colored organza chair sashes for sale as well as 5 orange organza table runners. Sale price for all items is $15 + shipping. I live in Westchester NY, if that helps to calculate shipping.

The dimensions for the items are as follows:

50 - Aqua organza chair sashes: 7.5x108in

5 - Orange organza table runners:12x108in

All items have only been used once for my wedding day and they are in mint condition!

Please email me at [email protected], if you're interested!

My husband called him on Fri and wouldn't you know this morning he sent me an email WITH the Fed Ex tracking number for our video. We should receive it on or before Wed! Hallelujah! All the emails I sent and the two phone calls to him was definitely worth it. He definitely needs to work on customer service and keeping clients in the loop re their paid in full product. I will let you guys know the quality of the video etc. once we watch it. For what it's worth I am expecting nothing but the best!

Writing reviews and posting them are definitely on my list. I'm over his promises already. I just want my video.

You can also write to him and let him know that you plan to post these reviews. Good luck!
 

 

Lara did you get your video??

A text?? Please do keep us posted. There are about 5 of us that I know that are in this boat and waiting for our video to come. He told me ours would be here tomorrow, I'll let you guys know. I'm praying we get it soon.

What can we do seriously to report this guy? This is not fair to us considering we all live in the states. Is he a scam artist?? Only one other bride on here said she received her video in 2 months. I'm fed up now. We paid in full was promised a product 30 days after we wed and here we are 3 months later still freaking waiting. We need to research if there's a reporting agency in Jamaica that we can contact.

For anyone that used Roxroy how long did it take for him to send you your wedding video? It's going on 3 months since our wedding and we have not received anything yet. He keeps promising but promises must are for fools...This is ridiculous now.

Hey R! Congrats on your big day! You looked beautiful! Am I mistaken or didn't you have another upcoming photographer booked prior to Marcia?

How long did it take past brides to receive their marriage certificate from Nicole/Tiffany after your wedding? I obviously can't change my name yet here in the States until I do but I am anxiously waiting and hoping it will arrive soon!

Hey everyone, I haven't drafted up my review yet because I was still trying to readjust to being back. We'll be happily married come this Sunday! Anyhow I just wanted to know how long did it take past brides to receive their marriage certificate from the Suites? I obviously can't change my name yet here in the States until I do but I am anxiously waiting and hoping it will arrive soon! I will try to start drafting up my recap of our beautiful day this weekend!

Hey everyone how did your weddings go?? Ours was beaaaaaaaautiful! My photographer sent us back some teaser pics that I will post a link to. I just wanted to check in and see how your day went.

~Tiff

OMG Wendy 11 months??? I hope that does not happen to us. I'm praying we will get ours in less than 2! Were you able to change your name beforehand with anything? Probably not because you needed the certificate. What a joke that it took so long!

Good luck with your planning!! Enjoy it because it will be over before you know it.

We are still on our honeymoon in Jamaica, and I just wanted to say that we used sky lanterns at our reception and everyone LOVED them! They were such a great surprise for our guests to experience!

I too want to thank you ladies for advice, inspirations, pictures and everything else in between that helped me get ready for my upcoming wedding. It feels like yesterday I got engaged, now look this week Friday I am getting married!! Nicole emailed me that she will be on vacation this week, so we unfortunately won't get to meet her or have her coordinate our wedding. Tiffany is going to fill in. I pray all goes well and that she brings our vision to life. I will be back on Sept. 17th. Please pray for our safe travels everyone!!

xoxo,

Tiffany

I forgot to mention we'll be back on Sept 17th. Wow good to see we are all having our honeymoon out there too! I am sooo ready. You girls got all of your last minute stuff done I hope! I just found out my wedding coordinator is going on vacation this week. Ugh! So her assistant will coordinate our day. I pray all goes well as well as beautiful weather!

Have a safe trip Ericka and congrats!! We're getting married on Friday at the Suites and we're flying out to Jamaica on Tues!! YAY! The time has come for me to say "I Do!!"

For recent brides who were just married, do the coordinators stick around at the reception to guide things along, such as when to cut the cake etc.? Who coordinates the events at the reception?

Thanks ladies!! One week to go and I couldn't be any happier to marry the BEST man I've ever had!! Today/this weekend it's all about finishing up last minute stuff packing!!

Thanks for posting your review and confirming that room service is included! I'm leaving for Jamaica next Tuesday and getting married at the Suites next Friday. Our weddings are very similar, as we have 45 guests plus us, will have 5 round tables and will have our reception at Calabash. Congrats on your wedding and like many times before when I read someone's review, I am so excited about my up coming wedding!!

I just returned from Jamaica!!! Irene turned our return home into quite a little adventure. But, I just wanted to share some highlights and things that kind of stood out in my head.

 

Wedding Date: 8/21/11

Host Resort: Iberostar Suites

All 49 guests including ourselves stayed at the Suites, which I thought was the best move we made since Iberostar security was pretty vigilant with keeping guests from straying off. Our travel agent and I sent a guest list to the hotel prior to arrival with a bed preference, which was matched pretty well. If not, they fixed it immediately.  Iberostar also tried their best to keep us together in one building upon arrival. I’m not sure if they were going to put us in an ocean view room, but we asked upon arrival and Iberostar said, “We’ll see if there’s any availableâ€.  I wasn’t sure why our travel agent didn’t put us in one to begin with but we got one and it was gorgeous. So, that's all that matters.  Welcome bags were left in the front desk and they distributed them very nicely...slipped the guy a few dollars.

 

Ceremony: Offsite @ Rose Hall Aqueducts by Grande Garden (4:00 pm but moved to 3:00 pm because of possible rain)

Like a few past brides, I fell in love with this venue.  My wedding coordinator for this was magnificent. Grande Garden also provided my centerpieces for my reception. Very nicely executed.

 

Restaurants:

Welcome dinner: Aunt Ruby’s Steakhouse (6:30 pm)

Set entrée menu for a large group. The wait staff was excellent.  Appetizer buffet was great. Seafood was very fresh.  Entrées came out very quickly. Very private even though other guests were there. No AC though. Guests were uncomfortable. Groom was very uncomfortable.  Ceiling fans were not working either.     

 

Reception dinner: Calabash (private 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm)

I had 5 round tables. Even though Nicole said max. 10 I was able to squeeze 11 at one.  We splurged for an International bar, which was $10/person/hour.  Again wait staff was excellent.  Everything came out really quick it seems.  We were served first and we were starving so we were eating and we didn’t really leave our head table too much.  The reception went by really fast. We didn’t really have an MC so I would recommend having a friend or family member since the DJ wasn’t too proactive. We just told our toasters to go and grab the wireless MIC from the DJ between courses. Kinda just played it by ear. Not sure about past weddings, but the WC left after the introductions/entrances. My husband and I tried to get guests up on the dance floor after everyone was done eating which was around 9:00 or so. It was a bit bright on the dance floor so I asked the DJ to dim the light and he did. We were happy with the music he played.  I'm sure if you asked him to play something to your liking he would. We weren't very picky.    

 

Photographer: Misha Earle

Misha is very accommodating and easy to work with.  Because we were expecting raining we pushed our ceremony time up an hour to 3:00 pm and Misha was very flexible.  We did a 2-day package and met Misha during our honeymoon in Negril for a few more hours.  Depending on the package you get she travels with a side shooter and lighting person. 

 

TIPS

*Bring a cell phone that takes a sim card.  We bought a sim card when we arrived that allowed us to call locally and internationally. Digicell, Lime, and Claro are all the cell phone companies that you can purchase a sim card and minutes from for under $25. They are everywhere. Complete LIFE SAVER during 2 week stay.

 

*Bring lots of singles for tipping and have all your tips allocated in envelopes prior to leaving (wait staff, photographer, WC, etc.)

 

*A JUTA licensed taxi/driver company was recommended by our travel agent.  We used them a lot while we were down there.  A driver was always just a phone call away whether it was for a ride to the mega mart, airport, or a private group tour.  Prices were very reasonable and definitely less than the ones at the hotel.   

 

 

If you need any of the info. on the driver, photographer, Grande Garden, and etc. just message me.  I'll try my best to answer your questions.  I'll post some pictures as well.  

Congrats! That's an awesome memory to be apart of in a magazine! Were you and your hubby able to stay within the $10,000 budge that the article is based on it seems?

Room service at Iberostar is free right ladies? Can someone confirm?

Did any of you past brides have your dresses steamed a few days before your wedding at Iberostar? If so, how much was the cost? And do you think it was worth it?

And sorry wasn't until after I posted I forgot this was the freecycle. So to clear the air ladies & keep this freecycle as is, please note that I will be selling my aqua sashes in the buy/sell forum in a few weeks.

SXCT I will have 50 aqua organza sashes to sell after my wedding takes place in 2 weeks. So you're interested, I can sell them to you.
