Hello - are the fans still available?

@@TauruSmith Hi I just wanted to let you know I didn't receive the PayPal invoice. Are the fans still available? Let me know if I should PM you my details once more.

Hi I am in South Florida and interested in the 15 raffia fans. Are they brand new or used? Also, can you give me an idea of size / measurements? Thanks!

@@TauruSmith - I pm'd you yesterday and sent you my zip code and email address. Just wanted to make sure you received it.

I would recommend The Stylish Scribe. She has really cute destination wedding themed products and her customer service is outstanding!!

I've been researching the same thing! Bed Bath & beyond has sets of 6 beaded chargers for $9.99. Their 20% off coupons never expire plus no shipping if there's a store near you. I am leaning towards buying mine from them!

Hello. I am interested in the 30 raffia fans. I know you said various sizes but can you give me an idea of an average? I may also have an interest in the pillars based on where you are located / shipping costs.

Hello everyone, Any Hilton Rose Hall brides out there?

@@FutureMrsGlover I just sent the catalog to you. They just responded with their proposal and it is a quarter of the cost of Tai Flora. I would need to pay Hilton a $500 fee because they are not an approved vendor but hoping to find a way around that or a compromise. Fingers crossed again!

This is a great topic that's been on my mind! Our beach wedding is at 4 and the outdoor reception starts at 5. I want our guests to be comfortable but It's a wedding so I feel shorts are too casual. I am trying to be fair and happy Also curious as to what shoes other brides are wearing on the sand / lawn? My MOH wants to wear heels but I think I will fall over Lol!

@@FutureMrsGlover I just heard back from Iberostar and they don't have my date available I also just received the quote from Tai Flora.....I almost fainted lol! I reached out to Jan's Flowers. They are not a preferred vendor for Hilton but have great reviews on this site and their prices are reasonable. I can email you their 90 page brochure including pictures if you send me your email address. @@beckys98 recommended Floral Fantasies so I just emailed them as well. Thank you all for all of the wonderful support and information!

Hello all - I still haven't heard from any past or future Hilton Rose Hall brides. Is anyone out there? Also, any thoughts on Tai Flora or Grande (Hilton's approved floral vendors)? I've been waiting for quotes from them for 3 weeks and counting.... I also reached out to Jan's although they are not on the vendor list. Would love to hear of anyone's experience with these florists. I also wanted to take the time to post about the positives so far since I only spoke of the negatives before. The approved photo vendors, SunGold and Photodayz have been extremely responsive and informative. Both have answered my barrage of questions very quickly so I would recommend reaching out to either for your Jamaica wedding. I also ordered my STD and will order invites from an Etsy shop called Stylish Scribe. Jessica has been amazing in answering my questions, mailing me samples and provides unlimited revisions of proofs. She specializes in destination weddings any our friends and family are still raving about the luggage tag magnet STD!!

Thank you for the travel agency referral @@acw271011! I will reach out to them today. What did you think of the Rose Hall property and wedding venues when you visited? Our error may have been trusting the brand too much so we booked before visiting. Lesson learned and thanks to this forum someone else will learn from my error. I also appreciate your feedback about island time and things moving slowly....that makes me feel a bit better so thank you!

Thank you all for your responses and advice! It's nice not to feel stressed and alone about this I've looked through TravelZoo and other similar sites and all of the Hilton Rose Hall reviews about weddings are very old. I am only finding reviews from regular hotel guests. @@FutureMrsGlover congrats we are getting married on the same weekend!! What can you share about your 2nd choice Iberostar? I am seeing lots of responders who picked that venue so I emailed them last night to check their availability for October 9 (fingers crossed)! We are traveling to Montego Bay in 4 weeks so I am taking this opportunity to either work things out with the Hilton or look at other properties so please keep the advice coming.

Thanks for your reply @@beckys98 and congrats to you as well! I had not considered a travel agent and thought I could manage this myself Can I ask what your experience with Iberostar has been so far and if you have had any unpleasant surprises? I am wondering if I should consider changing venues now that I have a bad feeling about our choice. The online reviews are not making me feel any better. Our assigned wedding coordinator has been helpful but I've also been waiting for a proposal fron the Hilton's 2 preferred floral vendors for 3 weeks with no response. It just seems as if I am chasing too many people around to give them money. Thanks again to anyone that can offer me some advice or let me know if I'm just overreacting.

Hello - I am new to the site and reserved at the Hilton Rose Hall for an October 9, 2015 wedding. Does anyone have any recent experience with them? I am only finding posts from 2009 -2011 and am hoping for some reassurance on our decision. So far I am not impressed with their unresponsive vendors and emailed group sales 5 times in 5 weeks to confirm a group rate (still no response). I expect much more from a Hilton property and am now second guessing our choice. Our save the dates have been sent so I feel stuck Any advice thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance.
