Each at the wedding linens direct. I as well am going to be using the aqua Sasha and table runner I haven't ordered anything yet. Not until we officially put our deposits in

The centre pieces sound nice! I was thinking of something other then the gazebo on a different part of resort cuz do t want it to be windy. But I will prob stick with the beach gazebo

I responded to your other post but its waiting to be approved for some reason. For favours I think I'm just going to do a welcome package with a few things. And just some cookies with our initials on them in our colors and maybe bubbles

Thanks! yeah I was thinking about doing that for the dinner And bringing the chair covers and the sashs over as well. I plan on buying the sashes and table runner online, Found a really cheap site, cant think of the site right now, its in my Many notes scattered everywhere! (I havent got around to organizing them).
Im not sure how big the tables are, I guess that depends on many ppl come! I was thinking to order a few cause they were so cheap. Bringing them with me and then seeing the set up for the dinner and how long the table is. And then from there sew them together if it needed to be longer! lol But im sure once i have a idea on how many ppl are coming then I can email the planner and try and get a idea of how long the table would be and then do that at home. I just figure its not hard to sew two peices together and then i can put like petals over the seam so its not so noticeable. We get there on the monday and ceremony is planned for the Thursday. So I would have a few days to get that done with . Bed time project Also maybe throw some seashells on there if i can find any nice ones on the beach, Or pick some manufactured ones from Micheals or a craft store for cheap, or dollarama. Give it that "beach" feeling

For centre pieces I was planning on just bringing some Freeze dried flowers( also using for the aisle) and sprinkling them on the table with some tea light candles in some decrotaive small vases, and Maybe a table runner in my colours. Something Simple and nice and easy to pack and budget friendly.

Oh that's pretty good ! From TO its generally cheaper. We just got our quotes a week or so ago. And good for 30 days so we have to make a decision soon I think ours was just for garden suites. Is have to look at the quote again. When are you going for again?

Thanks. Yeah I think we will go for the 3pm slot for the same reason haven't booked anything as of yet because hearing from another agent if we can get a lower price we were quoted 1720 from winnipeg. How are your guys group rates ?
hWe decided on a 3pm wedding for that reason. It gives you plenty of time to do pictures before the sun goes down. It will also give your guests time to freshen up or have free time before dinner. Reception dinners at the Riu are from 6:30-8:30. -
Anyone have a idea of what time they want their ceremony at? IM playing back and forth between 3pm and 5pm. I emailed Fernanda and she said sunset is at about 530. So i was thinking of going with a 3pm ceremony, that way it leaves time for pictures after while there is still some sunlight and then do dinner around 5-6.
What are Your thoughts on ceremony times?

OH THANKS! I havent booked any photographers yet. Im thinking of just taking the free pics that come with the package, and then doing a photo shoot off the resort, Def going to do a TTD session thats what I really want pics of And then have some pics done from the onsite photographer just for whatever is free. I have a friend who is pretty good with a camera so im sure she can do some pics.
When are you getting married there?

Hello all,
I have read every single page in this forum and it has been such a great help!
This hotel is one of my options for my DW that I am planning for Jan 2014!
My Fiance backround is Jamaican, His parents are from there, so I am laughing when you guys say they run on their own time.. THAT they definately do! I have to deal with it here at home! So Im sure if I pick any resrot in Jamaica I will be able to SOMEWHAT deal with "Jamaican time" as we call it lol. Though Im sure it will still drive me a little bit crazy (it does now!)
I think the biggest advice I will take from this is KEEP every email! Sounds like they change their prices a bit, So I will keep a eye on that!
I meet with my TA tomorrow to see what they can offer and do, and hopefully have a decision made on what resort we are going to pic!
Everyones pics look great. For outside photographers did you just pay for them for the night so that way they are a "guest " and not a vendor?Or can you just get them the day pass for the resort in stead if you are not wanting pics of you getting ready?
Im sure I will have more questions to ask later!!

Hi everyone,
Im not sure if there currently is a thread on any upcoming weddings at this resort! I am hoping to book something for Jan 2014!
Has anyone recently been married here within the last year or months and would like to share any info?
How did you find the resort?
Were there a lot of weddings during the week or days? I have heard that its a wedding factory at this resort. If this is the case, was the wedding and ceremony good, or did it feel rushed?
Was there a semi private location for dinner?
i am thinking about 20 ppl will be attneding our wedding, so not a big group but big enough.
I have MANY questions.. lol Any information would be great!!!

Hey guys,
Just a quick question. IN regards to the Free package at the Riu. You have to pay for your minister and certificate correct? Does anyone know how much that would be and how you go about getting that?
Thanks!
