Just wanted to let you know that I have the 2011 rates for everything, and they are all the same as the 2010. The only differences are the change to Tai Flora as the florist and the addition of having a bonfire on the beach or a "fire dancer" on the 'Services with Extra Charge' sheet.

I got that email to and I'm so mad that it won't apply for the time of my wedding. I even called Liberty Travel to see if this sale would extend by chance and then I called my fiance and told him that there's a HUGE sale especially for the Suites and that if only we could move our wedding up (I was kidding and half serious lol). I hope sales like this happen for our Sept wedding!

Does anyone know if the $18/person for the reception includes the open bar or is there an additional cost for this?

Do you mean the lights hanging in the pic I posted of UTs? That is a pic I found online - I'm pretty syre the lights are theirs.

Yes shame we didn't get to meet. Your pics are gorgeous, hope you enjoyed your mini moon too. Was it couples you went to? How was it in comparison to Iberostar?

 

 

I actually went to the new Secrets St.James/Wild Orchid, and I have to say it did NOT compare to the Iberostar. It was a gorgeous, brand new resort, beautiful decor and we upgraded to the preffered building which had a heated pool and free wifi on the beach. But the food was definetly not as good (and I stayed at the Beach hotel!) and the service wasnt as friendly. I'll be posting my review for that resort soon with more deets.

 

You were smart to stay your second week at the Grand - I thought I might be tired of the Iberostar and would want a change of scenery - I wish I had stayed at the Grand instead. When we go back we'll stay there for sure!

Daisy - YOu can have your dancing on the beach, but they will not set-up dinner tables on the sand. You can only have dinner in the restaurants or on the patio of Uncle Tony's at the beach resort.

Mrs Smith - I would def try calling. I found that was always the best way to get a quick answer. I added a few bucks on my Skype app for iphone for my Jamaica calls - worked great!

Misee17, I had fuschia organza and I thought it looked great, I added fuschia organza fabric to the huppa for the ceremony and they matched well. I'll look for pics at home, I'm at work presently.  Both look good, just a personal preference. 

 

 

 

Misee - Organza is typically a sheer fabric (see through) that is slightly stiffer. Satin is opaque and softer, so that should help you decide. Personally, I like satin

 

 

For you ladies looking at rates - rates are always typically cheaper in the summer due to the fact that it is hurricane season and because, well, its summer.

Great Review Brie! Glad you guys had a great time and everything turned out well. Congrats!!

You looked very beautiful. I do the wind, but I guess that comes with the theme. Yall are so cute together!!!

Bridetwobe, our ceremony was scheduled to start at 4 but the minister was late so we started about 4:15-4:30.  It was a very windy day but it the wind was refreshing and other than some odd photos of my hair, it was wonderful.  we didn't do videography but a link to my photographers website is below if you want to see pics: wendy and mark, Iberostar under the wedding tab.

I mean see the wind

[BridetwoBe]

Wendy, is four a better time? What did you do between the ceremony and reception dinner? Loved the sand ceremony...did you bring your own sand down?

[BridetwoBe]

Your guests would be pleased! Have most of your guests booked? October had great rates, we waited until November to book and the rates went up. Oh well!  We can't qualify, but I wish our guests could. I saw the cut off is for July. Our wedding is November. Have to wait patiently and see what happens for the guests. I konw you are excited...your day is close! I really need a hairstyle with this wind. Maybe i'll get a long hairsprayed hard spiral curl sew in to the side...lol
