Good luck

I'm getting married Jan 28th and flying from TO as well. I wanted the 26th of Jan at one point. but SOMEONE had already booked it. haha.

what do the flip flops look like send me an email at [email protected] please!!!!

Anyone know if the resort has their own tubes for the lazy river?

Hey Marcy,

I've booked Sungold Photography, one of their associate photographers, Ronald (as they are cheaper then the couple that runs the company). They are all local so no travel fees except for the $100 guest fee for the resort) All of them are amazing and my one thought was that family will take pictures, but you have wedding pictures for the rest of your life and you want good ones to show off. haha. I personally think its money well spent.

PM'd you.

www.efavormart.com  - best website. So cheap for table runners, chair sashes etc and in every colour!!!!

Email me at [email protected] or PM me if interested!

Looking for anything purple.

Table runners

Sashes for chairs

Garter

Shoes (size 9 or 10)

Anything else you have!!!!!

Please PM me or email me at [email protected]

Pictures are an asset.

Are there sashes and table runners (purple) left? do you have a picture?

PM'd

Can you send me a picture of the purple chair sashes

Any of this still available?

I don't see the starfish ties? just wondering what they look like.

Hi Britt,

 

I think the actual ceremony is only 30 minutes, I had emailed the WC and asked about what time we could do a cocktail party and she said that we could start it as early as 5pm (our wedding  is at 4). I would just give it some extra time for the champagne toast and what not, So maybe give it an hour on your timeline By the way say hi to Victoria see you guys there!!

haha, thanks Marcy!!!!! ( small world that our wedding is on the same day eh? haha)  Thanks for the tips!!!

Have a question for past IRHS brides.

I'm looking to do the timeline for the day. I'm just wondering if someone could give me a time on how long the wedding ceramony is with the signing of the marriage license.

I've booked a photograhper for 3 hours, so I'm just trying to figure out how long we need to budget for the wedding ceramony so I can have pictures before and after.

Anyones help is appreciated!!!

Anyone have experience with Sungold Photography? re: prices for their travel, wedding packages prices?   I've emailed her twice and haven't heard a response. Would love to hear what you guys know

I'm getting married at the Suites Jan 28th 2013 haha

When I didn't know whether I'd be married at the Suites or Beach I asked for the dates available for the Beach in Jan 2013. These were the ones she gave me that were availableas of the 6th of February the IRHB (this is a direct quote from her email)

"These dates  that are available are as follows:1,4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,16,17,20,21,22,24,25,26,27,29"

Hope this helps you out. Again, there may be more/less date avaialble depending on if people are booking and or cancelling. Just thought I would share this information with you.

I sent in my wedding day request to the Grand on Saturday, and I have yet to hear back, I sent another email and NOTHING... how long did it take you to hear back? Also those of you who have the 2013 wedding packages can you post them?! We are most likely getting married and the grand BUT i would like to see the other 2013 rates as well thanks!

The WC from the Suites takes a bit to reply back, but she does reply. You have over a year before your wedding so I wouldn't stress over not hearing right away.

I've been told you don't start to do any of the planning until a few months before your wedding date anyways So after your date is confirmed there isn't much more to do in reagards to the resort until a few months before your wedding.

I recently booked my date at Iberostar Rose Hall Beach for 11-12-13 (cool date, huh?).  I am also considering the Suites, but really want to make it reasonable for our guests to attend the wedding.  We are thinking we will have about 30 + people attending.  I've been getting mixed reactions from family about having a destination wedding, but I've read that will happen.  Mostly everyone is very excited to be going to Jamaica for our wedding. 

 

I've read that people have had trouble keeping in contact with the WC there and I absolutely agree.  I sent back my wedding agreement along with a copy of a credit card and having received confirmation that they received.  It's just a little scary knowing they have our information and our wedding is still over a year away. 

 

I've also read that some of you have gotten prices for the packages for 2013?  Is that true?  I was told that the prices haven't come out for 2013 yet, so they sent me the 2012 prices.  f anyone has that info and would like to share it, that would be wonderful! 

 

 

To each her own.

I'm a January 28th 2013 Bride Soooo excited.

HI,

I've put in my request for the date, however haven't heard back. I tried calling, but the number keeps saying a busy signal? Anyone care to share the number they used to contact the wedding corridnator? And or have an estimate on how long it took her here back after putting in a request for the date?

Do you have to pay a deposit when you send a request for the date of the wedding? Do they charge the creidt card you use? (Also is there any cancellation fees?)
