Hi KDoyle! Did you have a DJ? If so, was he good?

Hi KDoyle! Did you use an aisle runner or no? Do u recommend it?

Now that is very bizarre because the one email that Patricia did respond back to stated that Keisha will be back on the 10th. Its possible that she is gone and they just keep pushing back her "return" date.

Ok I have to vent :-( It is two weeks before my wedding and Patricia is barely answering my emails. This is very frustrating. At least Keisha answered back. I have several questions for her but Im assuming I will not have them answered. Sometimes, I just wished that I picked another resort.

Ok, now I am confused. Is it $10.50 per person for the ceremony chairs and an additional $10.50 per person for the semi private dinner? Or does the $10.50 include the ceremony chairs and the dinner?

Thanks KDoyle! Does anyone know about the misic for the ceremony? We have recorded a set of songs. Do they have a sound system for you to use for the ceremony or would it be extra?

Hi KDoyle! I have one last question. Were there roaches in the room? I have read several unsettling reviews about the roaches, bad service, the lack of hot water and the uncleaned pools. I know some people can be picky but I just wanted your take on it since you have been.

Your pics are gorgeous. I am getting married there on the 22nd and was freaking out Keisha not being there. I feel like Patricia is lying to me as well because I received an email today saying that Keisha will be back on the 10th. It is really confusing. How much was your aisle runner? Did you bring it from home or did you get it from the resort?

LOL....I guess Keisha being gone was the last thing I was expecting. Especially since it only 3 weeks from now. That makes me feel better that Patricia was Keisha's assistant and she knows what she is doing. I also having my TA look into it as well bc I do not want any miscommunication. I am taking every email that I have with me!

Wait Keisha is gone?!? How do you know? That is really scaring me considering my wedding is this month!

[quote name="Yassy" url="/t/70511/ror-brides-riu-ocho-rios OMG!!! Keisha is gone now??? Wow, that is a bit disheartening...I REALLY hope the new person is aware of everything and will be on the ball. I'm so glad I kept all of my correspondence with Keisha!!! Will be printing them all out and bringing them down when I go so there is no issues with pricing, etc. I also noticed that you mentioned that the Plantation Restaurant booking is an additional $13 pp for open bar + bartender...but I was quoted only $10! I would check into that if I were you as the $3pp does make a difference once you add it up! Wait Keisha is gone?!? How do you know? That is really scaring me considering my wedding is this month!

Hi JennMC! Do not worry. I know exactly what you are going through. People will tell you that they are coming but will back put in the end. Just remain calm and remember that no matter who comes or not, you are still marrying the love of your life. Yes it is hurtful but try not to let it upset you. The people who truly support you will be there in attendance. Hope u feel better :-)

Ok thanks!

Does anyone know if they charge the vendor fee to use Jan's Flowers? Their prices are cheaper than Tai Flora and I was thinking about going with them... Any suggestions?!?

Does anyone happen to know why some people say that "free" package is not exactly free? I am thinking about going with that one instead but I wanted to know if any brides knew the answers to the following: How much are the rose petals per bag from tai flora or jans flowers? How much is the minister fee? Would I still have to pay a minister fee if my uncle plans on marrying us? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I know it is hard to get in contact with Keisha sometimes to answer all of the questions. :-)

Does anyone know what type of free flower petals are included in the caprice package?

Does anyone know which restaurants they hold the semi private dinners at? Keisha is telling my TA that they only use one restaurant for the dinners. How is that possible if its 4 weddings a day? Any help would be appreciated

Hello All! I am getting married at the RIU this year and wanted to know if anyone had any advice about what to expect?!?

HELLO ALL! I am having my wedding at the RIU Ocho Rios June 2013. I wanted to know if anyone had any advice or anything that I should expect for the days leading up to the big day! I am going to have 40+ guests and would appreciate any advice that I can get. The WC has been almost impossible to get with and it has me worried. I finally received the price list but I wanted to know if any of the additional services was worth it?!?
