Me too!! that's great! my date is 2/19/2011 btw

No problem! Glad I can help! I have 30 guests coming to the rehersal dinner. I'm not sure what the cutoff is tho sorry.

The Iberostar is definetly not disappointing at all. The food is fantastic no matter which restaurant you eat at. They even do a BBQ on the beach with a live steel drum band. The rooms come with a stocked mini-fridge (beer,soda,water). The room service is also free. According to Nicole the new pricing will be coming out this month. All the resort fees are staying the same but the vendors will be going up slightly. The rehersal dinner or welcome dinner is included. All you have to do is let her know the names of the guests attending & select the restaurant. The times are 6:30 & 8:30 for that. Met with a DigiPix photographer & am still waiting for him to email me his portfolio. I have to say I'm not impressed with their work at all. I've been in touch with Sungold & Marcia Roberts Photography as alternatives. I think I'm using Marcia because her pricing is more resonable than Sungold. I am having 60+ guests so I have to go with Aunt Ruby's for my reception. I had a chance to see how nicely it looks when its all decorated because there was a wedding going on there during my stay. They do large round tables of 8-10 ppl. If you are not happy with plain white tablecloths Tai Flora offers tablecloth rental in basically any color. Large round paper lanterns also look really nice with the whole beachy vibe. As far as the DJ you just basically tell him either exactly what songs you want played or tell him what type of music you want. You can put certain songs like the first dance & father/daughter on an IPOD or CD & just play it from there. Tai Flora has a website so you can familarize yourself with their style. Any flowers beside whats there have to be ordered & its starts to get really pricey. If there are certain colors you want in your tropical arrangement they definelty work with you. I am buying different types of ribbon to wrap around the bridesmaids bouquets so everyone has a personalized one. There is a small casino there with slot machines, a game room with TVs pool tables, etc., a cigar bar, and a gorgeous spa. You can use the hot tubs and saunas there even if you don't get a spa service (which was one of the highlights of my stay). At night there is a show on the beach with dancing & fire-breathers. The place is brand new. The people there are exceptionally nice & accomodating. Its completely "island time" there...which is why I think responses take so long. If I can answer any other questions just let me know

Hi Everyone I'm planning my wedding for Feb 2011 @ Iberostar Rose Hall Suites. I am going this weekend to meet with Nicole and get a feel for the property. If there is anything I can do to help anyone just let me know Also, any reviews about the hotel photographer?
