  7. Hi girls,

    It probably is true...and you're right, you should be notified, but perhaps if a contract has been signed and if you already have agreement (in writing) from the resort, then they might accommodate original pricing... although even the contract states pricing is subject to change.
    I think that because these resorts are so popular for weddings, they are running into issues with guests who can't book any a la cartes during the week as a result of all of the private affairs. Frustrating I know, I experienced it but at the end of the day I get it. We didn't have enough people to fill the entire restaurant so we didn't have a private reception.  The resort did an excellent job of creating a beautiful wedding reception dinner for us, and while there were other guests in the restaurant, I didn't even notice them! Seriously.. I don't remember even seeing other people there.  We had a beach bonfire for dancing and it was absolutely amazing.  There was a reason we opted to have a destination wedding, we wanted something more relaxed, more fun and definitely on the beach, we didn't want a typical wedding, our day couldn't have been more perfect and our guests have agreed it was the best wedding ever!! :)

  8. Hey ladies! 
    Just got back from IRHB and the week was absolutely amazing!! The resort was beautiful, food was delicious and the wedding was perfect. The staff worked their asses off all week and always with a smile. While communication may be weak prior to the wedding, rest assured they really do try their hardest to accommodate your wedding wishes and are more than willing to meet with you and work with you when you arrive to ensure everything goes according to plan. The day of the wedding, Kymoya (the WC) was on site the entire day and didn't leave until very late in the evening (past 11pm) ensuring everything went smoothly. 

    The wedding coordinators are booked up dealing with brides getting married that week, there was a wedding every day we were there the whole week.  I too had been frustrated with the lack of communication, it seemed when i got responses only half my questions were answered, etc.. but once I got there, I realized they really do work hard. If there's anyone to blame it's the Iberostar itself and not the staff onsite, I think they could probably use some help!!! 

     

    As for the dinner, we had originally anticipated having a semi-private wedding (where we had the place to ourselves for half the night) for free as well but didn't have the numbers so we were also told it would cost us $400. We opted not to reserve the whole place and they really did a great job of keeping our section private, we had speeches and it was decorated how I wanted and we didn't even notice the other guests. We had a beach bonfire where we danced, had more drinks and released sky lanterns. It was incredible!!! My guests were totally amazed and can't stop saying what an amazing week and wedding overall. 


    I'll be posting my review soon with some pics. I can't comment on the Suites or Grand, we didn't really spend any time there but the property looked amazing.  For those of you still considering on going forward with your beach wedding, do it!! It was so fun and I have absolutely no regrets :)

Waiting weeks on end for a simple email reply that never comes and leaving several unreturned messages isn't island time, it's lax and unprofessional. Don't get me started on the policy and price changes that vary depending on who replies. I'm not thrilled about planning an at home wedding, but I'm over the moon about vendors who return emails in 24 hours or less and know how to answer a goddamn phone. *vent over* lol

This was NEVER discussed with me before and I have several emails stating that I was having a non private reception and it was of no cost. How the f*** can they just change things last minute and expect us to be ok with it? I refuse to pay this.

     

    Has anyone else run into this problem? If you have, how did you deal with it?

I faxed my Credit Card information as well as OUR Identification along with ALL OF OUR contact information, they CLAIM they never received it!! So OUR info is just floating around!!! I am going to look into IRHG and see if they are better!!
