Welcome! Where are you getting married? December 15 is my birthday so I love your date!

Welcome! I'm also a Jamaica 2014 bride, but will be over at the Iberostar in Montego Bay. I look forward to planning with you.

Wahoo! I'm looking forward to that milestone. Enjoy!

Just echoing what the other ladies have said. The webinar was helpful but I think a Jamaica specific one would be amazing!

They look so much like your inspiration pic.!. Thanks for sharing, they look great!

Welcome! Like Alexis said, I'm sure you'll find this board to be an incredible resource. There is so much information on a wide variety of resorts in Jamaica. I'm personally getting married at the Iberostar in Montego Bay as I wanted something pretty close to the airport to keep things as simple as possible for my guests- most of which have never left the USA before!

I'm looking into switching from the Suites to the Beach, possibly, as I'm getting concerned about cost for guests since the rates I'm getting are higher than I was anticipating. Two quick questions: I read in some reviews that the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach sometimes sells day tickets to cruise ships and then the resort gets really crazy. True? False? Also, can anyone point me in the right direction for pictures of the Beach resorts ceremony "rain" location? Thanks for any help!

I didn't know they had a wedding line! I think it'd be fun if you added some bling. If you decide to, make sure you post pics!

It says you have to book a one night stay for them at the hotel the wedding is taking place. However, I don't see why they would actually have to spend the night there after the wedding. I'll have to clarify with the resort. I hope your prices drop soon and your numbers go up! That must be nerve-wracking.

Thanks so much for your help. I know what you mean about it being so exciting and frustrating. I feel like I don't think about anything except weddings... that can't be normal?? It's OFFICIAL! I got confirmation that they got my signed contract and the authorization for the $250 deposit today. I'm going to be the Sunday, January 19th, 2014 Suites Bride! *dances* I look forward to planning with all of you. Now, to figure out how to announce it... I'm off to Michael's and Jo-Ann's!

Thank you! I'll reach out to them and see if I can swing it. I look forward to seeing your finished product and I'm sure your guests will love them!

Thank you, Kara! I think I'll order this... though I'm not sure exactly what I'll use it for just yet... I'm sure I'll think of something.

Zoe, I really love your invitations. I think I'm going to check out your designer... though I think they might be out of my price range I'm sure they'll provide lots of great inspiration at the very least! Thanks for sharing them!

I'm at the Suites but will be doing a regular dinner, not private. I don't have enough people for a private one anyway (between 10 and 15 guests). I'm not too concerned about it. I'd rather have the money to put elsewhere... like the photographer! The contract they sent me this week definitely says 1 night stay for an external photographer. I hope my TA can help me book that at the lowest rate possible. It's really a bummer, but I really hope that there won't be a vendor fee on top of that or anything like that. I'm willing to do what it takes to have a decent photographer at my wedding but I know I'll have to cut some other "nice to haves" to make that happen.

Welcome and congrats on your engagement! I hope you enjoy your planning process and I'm sure you'll find these forums very helpful. know I have!

Cherri, thank you for checking! Good news! That's what I thought- that they only did one wedding at the Suites, one at the Beach, and one at the Grand per day. Glad to hear that is still the case.

Congratulations on choosing a venue! That sounds beautiful and I hope you have a wonderful wedding. It's so soon, you must be so excited!

I hope it was a misunderstanding, I'd be bummed if that was changing. Could you let us know if you hear for sure?

I'm still working on confirming my date, but it looks like Iberostar Rose Hall Suites in Jamaica will be the one! Even though we are going to different places, I am sure our timeline will be similar for planning. I hope we can stay in touch!

Thanks for the tip! Those look great. I grew up with Christmas Tree Shops and loved them. I wish there were some where I live now... the closest is a few hours away!

Welcome! I don't know anything about that resort, but I'm sure someone else here does. Make sure you do a search of the forums, there is a wealth of information here!

Even though this is an old thread, the link was really useful. Thank you!

Laura, you might want to post this on the webinar registration thread so Tammy is more likely to see it. If there isn't a way and you have some specific questions, I'm more than happy to ask them on your behalf. I'll be attending, just let me know! Congrats on your upcoming wedding and have fun at your friends!

Welcome back! I'm also hoping for a January 2014 wedding in Jamaica. I'm sorry you've gone through such a rough time recently, I really hope everything is smooth sailing from here on out!
