Iberostar Rose Hall Brides - Post all info/questions here!


Recommended Posts


Thanks for your review.  I never thought of asking the wedding coordinator is someone from the staff could video tape the wedding.  I have been fighting with the idea of hiring someone or not

Hi ladies,

I got married at the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach on January 5th and I'm finally posting my review.  Big thanks to everyone on this forum for all your advice and help.


We had 22 people joining us for the trip who all stayed at IRHB, with the exception of 2 guests who stayed at the Grand.

 

We got married on the beach at 4:30pm and had a semi-private dinner at the steakhouse, Uncle Tony's at 7pm.


We then had a bonfire, DJ (I booked Kevan Stewart) and open bar set up at 8:30pm that lasted 2 hours. It was an amazing time and I wish I could do it all over again. 


My wedding was on a Thursday and the resort has their weekly beach party that evening with a buffet and music. I know some brides mentioned that there were not able to have a DJ on the beach on Thursdays because of that. I think Silvia honestly didn't clue in that my wedding was on the Thursday and when we went over the final details she said that she would move the bonfire right in front of the steakhouse restaurant and it worked out fine.


Here is a list of my vendors for your info:

 

Flowers - I opted to bring my own silk flower arrangements and I had an acquaintance who specializes in flower arrangements create my bouquet, my Matrons of Honour bouquets and all the boutonnieres and corsages.


Hair/Make up - I used the resort spa and had no issues. Jean was the lady who did my hair and was able to mimic the style in the photo I gave her. The bobby pins were falling out a bit towards the end of the night so bring extras just in case.

 

Tracy did my makeup and I thought she did a great job. 

 

My Matrons of Honour both had their hair and make up at the spa resort and they were pleased with it.

 

DJ - I booked DJ Kevan who was highly recommended here.  He was great and we met 2 days before the wedding to over our music selection.


Photographer - I used Roan Robinson and had him take photos before and after the ceremony.  I am happy with my photos and found him to be very professional. 

 

I decided not to have a professional videographer to film the ceremony, instead we brought our own recorder and I had Silvia ask one of the entertainment staff to tape it.  The guy who ended up taping it was one of their staff performers Megatron, a very nice guy and he did a great job filming.

 

Welcome party-

Instead of having a cocktail party at the resort we decided to take our guests on a surprise sunset catamaran cruise in Montego Bay.  I emailed a couple of vendors and ended up booking through Denise Taylor dptgonefishing@hotmail.com. I found her contact through BDW.  We did this the 2nd night we were there and everyone had a wonderful time.

 

 

Flight and travel agent:

I used Flight Centre at Yonge and St. Clair (in Toronto) and they were very helpful at the beginning but I found their level of service dropped considerably 4 months leading up to the wedding. There were a couple of instances where my travel agent dropped the ball. If I could do it over again I would probably use another travel agency.

Our vacation package was booked through Air Canada vacations. The on-board flight crew was able to hang my wedding dress in their crew closet.

Overall I was happy with the resort, I choose it because it was close to the airport and their one wedding a day policy.

 

The staff is very friendly and we rarely saw an employee who did not greet us with a smile or hello. The rooms were great, a little bit run down, i.e. missing electrical plugs, but the mattresses and pillows were very comfortable. 

 

Both the wedding coordinator Silvia and the PR manager Kymoya were very pleasant to deal with.   I will be honest, when I first arrived at the resort I was a bit annoyed that no one in guest services bothered to contact me, I had to initiate the call to ask to arrange a meeting to go over final details of the wedding.  It looked like they were swamped; they had weddings every single day that week and it seemed to me that they needed to add more staff to their group. Thatâ€s my opinion at least.

 

Food:
The buffet restaurant had a wide variety of food and it changed daily so we didn't get bored of the selection. The desserts were okay, nothing spectacular in my opinion.


My only complaint was that many of our guests couldn't book at the à la carte restaurants because they were booked solid for the week and we never got the chance to make a choice.

My suggestion is that you tell your guests to book the 1st day they arrive at the resort to ensure they get a spot at one of their restaurants. I spoke to several managers at the resort asking them if we could add more people to my wedding rehearsal dinner since I booked it at the Cajun as some of my guests wanted to try it and I was told that they would follow up but they never did.   

 

Also another con for me was that I had to pay extra to get my dress steamed; I was not impressed. I think that should be included in the wedding package if you are going to get married at the resort! On top of that they did a crappy job steaming my dress, I think I was better off hanging it in the bathroom.

 

I hope the above is helpful. If you have any specific questions, feel free to send a message.

 

Happy Planning.

Hi Erin,

So I can help with some of your info:

1) I'll PM it to you.as I noticed you only have 4 posts so you won't be able to download it if it's posted.

2) There is one wedding ceremony per day at each of the resorts (Beach, Suites, Grand). So there could be three wedding ceremonies in total but only one at each of the resorts. That being said, there could be multiple weddings because some couples get married off the resort and have the reception back at the resort. If you're having the ceremony on the resort, you'll be the one wedding that day and you'll have priority over reception-only couples/wedding parties.

3) Standard beach set up is white chair covers with either a gold or silver chair tie; The huppa is covered in white fabric with some "greenery".  There is also your choice of a white or red aisle runner. They will also set up a small table for the signing of the certificate, it's covered in white fabric and there is a floral decoration provided but i'm not sure what it looks like.

4) Restaurant appears to be set up with covered chairs (white covers, silver or gold chair ties); white fabric table cloths and there may be a floral decoration at the bride/groom table but am not certain. Other decorations are extra or you can bring your own and they will set it up - although you should confirm with the resort for your specific set-up requirements.


Hope that helps - And just so you know, I haven't gotten married there yet but will be in April, I've gathered all of this info through numerous conversations with the resort and through this forum.

 

Good luck! :)

1) Does anyone have the Wedding Request for you use to request the date? I had emailed asking for it but not received it yet

2) when they say they have 1 wedding/day, does that mean one could be happening on the 3 resorts or 1 between the 3 resorts (i assume 1/resort could happen)

3) What is the standard beach wedding decoration set-up - ie, colors, chair ties, etc

4) what is the standard restaurant decoration set-up if you rent out the entire restaturant? Do they provide anything or is it all extra $?

 

THanks!

I an getting married at Iberostar Rosehall Suites in August. They are charging my guests not staying at the hotel an entry fee of $100. Does anyone else have to have their guest pay this? I think this is too much since I am already paying for my guests to attend the wedding. I have family in Jamaica who do not need to stay at the resort but asking them to pay $100 to attend the wedding is ridiculous. Input anyone?

@vbbbtk  - I was surprised that the wedding coordinator was okay asking one of the staff members  to video tape it, since they seem to charge you for everything.  We tipped Megatron after.  

 

I was debating whether or not to hire a professional videographer but I thought it would be too cheesy so I stuck to the homemade video and luckily it turned out great.

MrsG,

 

I'm getting married in June at the Grand and the Iberostar seems to find ways to add on fees.  I would suggest that if you have several guests who are staying off property or local, that you consider a villa or a non all-inclusive hotel. I believe that ALL  all-inclusive hotels will charge an extra day fee for non guests (since they can come for the full day and eat/drink/etc). But if you get married at a private villa or regular hotel, then you won't have to worry about a day pass.
