Iberostar Rose Hall Brides - Post all info/questions here!

I thought I was the only one that hadn't heard from Jodi. I mean this is ridiculous now. If we were getting married here in NY, vendors would be returning our calls/emails left and right. I'm so over that "island time" excuse. Destination wedding or not, we shouldn't have to send these people email after email just to get a reply to our initial question. So annoying!

I hope to do a planning thread, I'm really bad with taking pictures. 

 

MrsJones thanks for the review.  Congrats on a beautiful day!. I'm having my reception at the Calabash, so happy you enjoyed it.  I too am struggling with Jodi at Tai-flora, it's driving me insane!  I can't get a response even if I paid for it.

Okay I'm a bit confused and I know one of you ladies can help me out. After the ceremony ends, you have a choice of dinner at one of the restaurants. Now how long can we use the restaurant for if we rent it our privately?? I figure within the private rental that's where speeches, dances and toasts take place. Or am I mistaken?

 

I notice a few of you have the dinner, then go to a bar for dances and speeches and then head off to the disco. Is this a must?

Does anyone know if one fire dancer is suffice for entertainment?  I guess I'm thinking two will make it that much more entertaining, but I don't want to spend the extra if it's really not that big of a difference.

 

MrsJones I neglected to ask you if the Calabash was really far from the beach.  Nicole mentioned that it's about a 5 minute walk, is that right?

Mrs. Smith,

 

How did you contact Rashel? I am having a hard time via facebook.

Hey  Islandgirl910,

 

The Dj didn't say much from what i remember but he did play good music! I would specify the music you would like and just give it to them before hand. He started of playing a little older music then made his way up to new stuff. We were all dancing so i wouldn't stress about the outside dj. I had one of my friends be the MC and she would say a couple fo things because she is good at being the spot light. lol

Is that true or does he amp the crowd up? Outside DJ is about $200 more than the resort DJ not to mention the vendor fee & day pass. That alone right there is $375 - ridiculous! Could so save that rather than spend it! LoL

 

Congrats to you and your new husband!!

Hey Tina5978,

 

I don't even think it will take that long!. I had my ceremony at the lazy river which is right infront of calabash once your cross over the little bridge. the beach is just right past the pools. I would say 2 minutes tops maybe 4 if your dress is a little oversized and hard to walk in!

So true about Jodi with Tai Flora. She has responded to my emails only once. . I have tried more than 3 times to get pictures of specifics things I want. I hate to call over there. I am going to have to mention it to the Grand wedding coordinator and see what she says.
