Menu prices are due to change but hopefully not to drastically...I am going to fight for the wedding costs since they told me not to contract specifics until closer to the date. Hopefully everuthing will work out which I am sure it will...it is just so scary being on such a tight budget and there is a chance of prices rising. If your heart is set on RHR (which I believe it is since you put the deposit), MAKE SURE YOU SIGN THE CONTRACT -- FAX IT TO THEM AND KEEP A COPY (and make sure you know who received it and when (they lost mine a couple of times) -(putting the deposit would not be enough as far I what I experienced) -- For my wedding, I signed the contract a few weeks before they up their menu and package prices -- I was lucky because the WC told me that if I did not have signed the contract, the new prices would apply to me (regardless of the fact that I put a deposit -- the deposit reserves the date but doesn't guarantee the prices) --- the only thing is that when I wanted to change something on my menu, if it wasn't on my contract, the new highter prices would apply for that change (and some of the prices were almost double of what they were originally quoted) -- do I make sense? (I tend to ramble a bit but I think this is pretty important)
  4. I got married there in april ... like everyone, communication is not their strong point ... but the wedding went pretty smoothly and the food, music (dj), service, etc were AMAZING!!! ... I put some of my pictures on my wedding website Our Wedding Website ... I also put a full/detailed review on this BDW site back in april as soon as I came back ... I will try to see if I can find the link and post it here for you.

I believe that RH do allow outside photography (though you'd want to double check it) and I understood the wedding deposit to be $1,000 (but they changed that on me too) Their wedding packages are pretty expensive. Good luck! If I can help with anything else, let me know! Sorry for the first post .. did not realize that you changed resorts ... still CONGRATS!!! and I am glad you were able to set things up. Communication was also an issue for me with them as well as prices -- and I had to switch wedding planners 3 times since each time I got a new one, she would quit the resort (the last one quit a few weeks before my wedding day) --- talk about stressful months ... but in the end, the wedding was AMAZING ...

It looks wonderful and I have read MANY reviews. Is it still under renovation? Congrats again and any information you can pass on is very much appreciated!! I was married there back in April and it is BEAUTIFUL !!!!! renovations were done when I was there ... you can see the pictures on my wedding website (PHOTOS page) -- Our Wedding Website .... don't hesitate to ask any questions ....

LOL And now for the fun to begin... CONGRATS !!! I got married at the RHR a few months ago ... and my birthday is Dec 13 ... any questions, don't hesitate to ask ...

I see some other brides have responded already, so let me know what you have left and how much. Thanks! ) Will do. Once the previous bride lets me know how many she needs, I can tell you how many I have left ... if any ... I did not get a chance to list out everything I still have but will post it as soon as I get it .. Thanks!!

I contacted the Jamaican tourism board (you can look in your yellow pages or google them to see if there is an office in your state) -- I called and they sent me a box for free. Even if they are not in your state, I think you can call and have them mail it to you anyway. I can't remember exactly how long it took for me to get them ... I would say 3-4 weeks - so plan early if you want to make sure you get them to send to your guests before they get to Jamaica (or you can hand them out while in Jamaica but I find people like to know/prepare in advance).

You want all the brochures? or just some? let me know. PM me with your mailing info ... if it's really cheap to send the whole thing your way, don't worry about postage ... i just need to clear out my place ... the less I have, the better for me (I don't like to throw away things if it can help others) -- we bought a fully furnished home (a model home) so I have bigger things to worry about getting rid off ... for smaller stuff, I can give away and mail for free (if I don't end up dishing out too much money in the process)
  11. Quote: Originally Posted by Yvette i am interested in the polaroid instant cameras (izone).

If I remember well, I have about 10 izone cameras (can't remember off the top of my head -- they are in my old place right now)... they don't have film in them (I never used them, bought them on ebay some months ago before I changed my mind about using them for my wedding) ... anyway, you can have them for free ... let me know if you want all or just some ... PM me with your mailing info ...
  12. Hello everyone, Now that the wedding is over, I am going over the extra things that I have and see if some of you may need them before I just throw them away ... I have about 45 Jamaica brochures (details about Jamaica, things to do, maps, etc) .. there are two types : 15 big ones (8.5 x 11 - 30 pages) and the 30 others are smaller (4 X 9 - 31 pages). Since I got them for free, I would not make sense for me to charge you for it .. so it's free If any of you are in the Atlanta area, I can meet up with you and give them to you. I have other things such as white cd sleeves from blisswedding market, polaroid instant cameras (izone) that I will want to get rid of -- to give away or throw away. Once I have the details/clear count/list of everything else, I will post here too.

The fruit / rum punch option sounds alot better than champagne, plus it keeps with the Jamaican theme, so we'll change that option, if its possible. How long was you taking pictures for? Did the photographer start with group family pictures then finish with just the couple pictures? We currently have our contract open to choose our reception when we are out there, as we're undecided over a having it at Sugar Mill Fall or Mango Islands. Originally decided on Sugar Mill Falls but heard it may get chilly in the evening on the beach... did you find this was true? Was there any other nice reception locations? Thanks!!! I PM you with Yolandi's email. The photograph came in my room before the wedding then went to my fiance's room, he took photos during the ceremony, we took pictures by the beach during the cocktail hour and he stayed for about 2 hours during the reception to take more pictures. You have to tell the photographer what you want and how long you want him to stay. He took most of the time pictures of me and my husband but throughout the evening, was taking random pictures of guests/groups ... For the reception location, my heart was set on Sugar mills since I wanted to be by the ocean but not on the sand. I loved having the ocean near. When there were speaches, you could hear the water splash (waves) and it was so nice to hear the ocean in the background ... it sounded so romantic ... It wasn't too cold ... hot with a little breeze. I am not sure at different times of the year but for me, that location was great ... I did not ask to visit the other places other than the inside location in case it rained.
