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

[amymci]

Does anyone know what the vegetarian selection consists of? I'm assuming it's pasta, but does anyone know what kind?

Does anyone have a floorplan or really good pictures of aunt ruby's for planning purposes?

Hi

 

I am trying to help a friend plan a special event for he and his wife to renew their vows while vacationing at Iberostar Rose Hall in Jamaica. He has never visited Jamaica, nor the Caribbean for that matter, and just needs some guidance on how/where to start.

 

Contacting the hotel directly would be the logical way to start but they say they have emailed the hotel through their site but have not heard back from anyone and its been a few days. This of course has them a bit jittery and wondering if they should even try do it after all. I told them to rewind, hold up, soon come and all that good stuff

 

But seriously, I want them see how beautiful my Jamaica is and have their vows renewed in paradise to replace a wedding they never had. This ceremony would be very special and romantic. It is just for the couple only, so the planning should be much simpler than for a whole group. I am Jamaican but left about 8 years ago, so Iberostar wasn't even there at that time. I also wasn't from MoBay, so at a loss there as well.

 

They need to find out if there is a renewal of vows package, price and what it includes. If not then they would need to arrange for things like: a minister, talk to a wedding coordinator at Iberostar, plan the ceremony, arrange a floral bouquet and boutonnierre, decoration and floral centerpiece for their dining table, find out options for which restaurant or location within the resort to dine, small wedding cake, champagne, music, photography, dinner, possibly flowers and champagne to the room and estimated cost of all these.

 

Anyone else who has planned a wedding or renewal of vows at Iberostar Rose Hall - how did you initially get directly in contact with a wedding coordinator or public relations manager? Iberostar seems to have a call center not a direct line and emails haven't been answered yet. Any help at all or advice on how to get started (wedding or renewal of vows) would be great and maybe you can help alleviate some of their planning doubts.

Hi Everyone,

 

We just got married at the Suites on april 23rd and now transfered over to the Grand for our honeymoon (been here for a few days now and come back home sunday). Just letting everyone know that everything went smoothly and not a single hicup or anything unexpected. I will post a review as soon as I get home. I strongly advise everyone to make sure everything is communicated to Nicole PRIOR to your arrival - if so, you will have no worries mon!!!

Hi! I'm gettting married at the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach on November 6th and I'm getting really excited. I've been reading over the forum and I think there is a lot of great advice and I'm hoping that someone can help me with a few things. Has anyone had the Bonfire Party on the beach? If so, how long did it last and how was it?

 

I also want to know what people have done for gift bags for their guests. Did you bring the items with you or did you buy the items in Jamaica? I know that there is a gift shop at the hotel, but i'm worried about how expensive it will be. Well I'm open to any advice or stories. You can email me at [email protected]

If any of you ladies are hiring a band for the reception, do they provide you with a song list so that you can see what they play. 

I was thinking of hiring the show band, but would hate to have my heart set on a first dance that they can't play.

HI Paula,

 

I am planning to have a bonfire on the beach.  It's $250/hour and that does not include bar.  You have to pay a per/person price for the bar on top of that.  I am planning to do this for 2hours following the rehearsal dinner.
