bumping for the new brides at ror in 2011. Â I emailed Tai Flora about 2 months ago, and they promised to send me some options and never heard back. Waiting to hear from the WC , ( must likely in FEb ) and see if i can use an outside florist, i contacted Jans bridal and they were really great,, maybe $1000 dollars cheaper than Tai from what i have collected from other brides ( info ). So thats it for now,, see you in ror ladies !

Thanks for posting the pic , its really helpfull, im also interested in knowing how large the space is,, i am planning on having the private reception here and do our speeches, first dance, cake cutting, etc,,,

We will be getting married the same day ! What time is your ceremony at ?? Â

Congratulations ! Â we will be in jamaica at the same time,, exciting ! Â

The pics are absolutely beautifull, looks like you guys had tons of fun. Did you bring your own photographer ? Did you hire someone at Ror ? Im thinking of having some pro pics taken too !

Oh ,, these are really cute,, where did you find them ? Â

This is exactly my plan,i have found the starfish wine stoppers at party packagers and they are lovely. We are doing a beach theme so it goes along well , i will be skeeping the oot bags since i do not know for sure how many people will attend until almost last minute, i have family in Japan and South africa,,,

Just bumping to see if any of you has had a response yet from Antonette ... I want to reserve my private reception asap and shes has not answered my email from 2 months ago ! I do not know what to do : (

If you are to get one,, make sure its the right one , like others said. I know i chose one that knows NOTHING, and had many many issues so far , luckily i have contacted his manager and they are willing to transfer my file to another agent.

We have 21 coming for sure including us , im sure numbers will start growing soon. For me the smaller the better, that way , i get to have the private reception i want . Â

I am getting married April 5/2011 at 5pm at the beach gazebo at ROR. Location and ceremony have been confirmed , but i have still to hear back from the new Wedding Coordinator to arrange other details, apparently this only happens a couple of months before the wedding. For sure use the search engine on this forum, its great, i found loooots of info here , in fact everything i know its because im now addicted to this website, lol. How exciting,, you will be there a month before me, make sure to write your review and let us know how everything went, im sure it will be lovely !  Cheers  Yeny Â

Oh my god, your dress its absolutely gorgeous, you look stunning! As per the reception, i am on the same boat, still undecided where to have it, i have read a lot of reviews of different reception types , you can have it semi private its usually held at Mammee Bay restaurant , and then have a private reception just for dancing and drinking or you can pay $55p/p for a totally private reception, by the beach, by the pool or at one of the restaurants , this includes, food and open bar. Do a search on reception at ror and you ll get tons of ideas, theres also pics of ladies that have already done them, im leaning towards the private poolside,, have fun planning !

Hello Jocelyn: Â Welcome and congrats ! Beware, this forum is highly addictive ! Lol, congratulation btw

I will get married here in canada, only having a symbolic ceremony down in Jamaica, less trouble and less money ,, sorry i am not a lot of help on this one , good luck !

I am in the same boat with the RSVP thing,, i have sent out the stds with my TA information, so far , even if they have not responded to my invitation i know , counting my fiancee and i are 24. I decided not to stress anymore, the less people that come, the more i can spend on my actual wedding day , i could even have the private poolside reception !

My FI would not have his own opinions on anything about the wedding, must be a guys thing like some of the girls said. So far i have just made him look with me at centerpieces for the flowers and i went ahead and told him: Hey, i need your help ! and then he was then and there with me,, just do what you really really want and im sure that hell love it all !

Hello Cristina : I have a TA , thanks god !! and i sent out the stds with his info on it so people in the family that would be interested could take a look, and reserve right away if they wanted to, i wanted to give them all enough notice to save the cash. Â

I am still not getting a response from Antonette, she was pretty fast at responding when it was time to confirm ceremony time and place, but that is as far as ive gotten ,,, Â

Let us know when you find out,, this set up is truly amazing,, too bad i cant afford it : ((

I understand completely, im almost 8 months away and already fricking out because i have no control over anything ! I thought this wedding was going to be stress free,, i do not know if i woul dhave preferred to take her of all the arrangements myself. Anyhow good luck, and make sure to let us know how it went, im sure its going to be amazing ~

I also wrote over a month ago to ask for different options for my receiption , flowers, etc,, and she hasnt asnwered back yet,,, im getting a little worried : (

Hi Lua : Â Im also an april 2011 bride, the 5 to be exact at Riu Ocho Rios,, i went with this resort, because as per my TA the Riu Negril was to undergo renovations during this time. I feel cheated now,, did he lie to me ???? If you dont mind me asking, how much did you get quoted,, id like to compare to what i got as a group quote and see if im paying a lot more, then i know this is why he made me choose ROR. My group quote was $1499 + 177 in taxes for a double ocupancy,,

Im also glad your constant emailing worked out for you . They are a big chain of resorts with high reputation and if they want to keep it this way they have to make up for their mistakes. Happy trip to Costa Rica girl ! Â

Wow,, 50 is a big number for a private reception, so far i only have 23 that are coming for sure,, if i keep my number under 30 i might do the private poolside thing at $55 p/p , if its over that im more inclined to reserve the Plantation. The only issue now is that im like 7 months away and fricking out that when my time comes to reserve nothing will be available,, where are you getting married,, are you not worried what you want might not be available then ???

Thank you for making it all make sense to me now. All i have to decide now is if i want to pay for the private at the restaurant or by the poolside . What did you or will you do ?....
