I hope you are right about the vendor fee.  It would suck to have to pay for each band member when they will only be there for 2 hours or so.

I believe your best bet is checking with the resort, I'm fairly certain ALL vendors have a vendor fee if you have opted not to use the vendors that the resort works with, for example the florist, photographer, di and band.

I'm 100% certain there's no vendor fee for the photographer...only a day pass.  Also, they don't charge a vendor fee for outside make-up/hair.  But if you're thinking of getting married at the Grand, then you should check with them directly.  As of 2012 they don't allow ANY outside vendors (except the photographer).

Hi Ladies,

 

I have seen the long list of all the 2012 Iberostar brides, but I don't seem to see any new reviews. Where are all the new reviews????????????????????????????

[beachbum21]

That's so strange!! They must have different "rules" for each of the resorts. You can bring in outside vendors at the Beach and you will be charged vendor fees.  With respect to the photographer, I must have been mixed up with the day pass as I recall being told there would be some sort of fee. We're brining our own photographer, so no vendor fee/day pass because he'll be a guest of the resort.

We're likely hiring a an external DJ, still deciding, but we've been given the go-ahead by the resort, and of course there is a vendor fee.

Hi Ladies,

Wondering what all I will have to do back here in MN once I am married in Jamaica? Do I have to apply for anything?

Just wondering if anyone travelling from Toronto ontario could tell me the cost of their weeks vacation there. I'm looking to stay under 1500 per person and want to know if this is possible for this resort.

Hi everyone,

 

I posted this question in IRHS 2013 brides but I think someone here may know the answer too! I just submitted my wedding request form for March 7th, 2013! =) 

 

My fiancé is Jewish and I am Christian. We are going to have a simple, legal ceremony however, does the officiant wear a suit or does he wear a collar like a pastor? 

 

If anyone has anymore info, I would greatly appreciate it!! 

 

Thanks!!!

Leah22, that's not the case at the Beach Resort.  It does seem that the rules are different at every resort.  At the Beach resort you pay a $100 VENDOR fee for an outside dj, photographer, band etc.  PLUS you pay a pass $75 for EACH person in the group... so if I have a photographer with an assistant, its going to cost $250 to get them on site.  This is in the agreement you sign:

 

6) VENDORS OFF PROPERTY:

If the couple desires to hire any other supplier, for a service that it is provided by the hotel,each vendor will be assess separately to verify that they comply with the hotel policies & standards. This in this case will attract an additional cost of $100usd

 

_ FLOWER SHOP: the hotel works with an outside flower shop called “Tai Floraâ€.

All flowers services should be hired though this flower shop.

The hotel will not allow any other flower vendor to be used on property.

 

_ PHOTOGRAPHER: the hotel has an exclusivity agreement with the Photoshop on

property “Digipix Ltd.â€.

 

_ If you decide to hire an outside photographer, please note that you will have to

pay the hotel the vendor’s fee of $100usd and also you will have to purchase a

day pass of $75usd per person for every photographer.

 

_ WEDDING PLANNERS: The hotel does not allow any outside wedding

coordinators. If the wedding couple is using the services of a local wedding planner,

she must be advised about our policies and that all wedding details will be

dealt with and confirmed directly to the wedding couple.

The outside wedding planner will be considered as another guest of the

wedding and she will not be allowed to address or give instructions to any

Iberostar staff. She must only address the hotel wedding coordinator for

suggestions, comments or corrections, which the hotel wedding coordinator

will double check with the couple.

If the wedding planner should come on property on the wedding day or any

other day during the couple’s stay, a day pass fee will apply.

 

If the wedding couple is using the services of an overseas wedding

planner, the hotel wedding coordinator could confirm and arrange wedding

details with her (through emails or phone calls) but all final decisions must

be confirm directly by the couple.

If this wedding planner is staying at the hotel she can be involve as a

witness in all the wedding planning but she can only address the hotel

wedding coordinator for any suggestions, comments or corrections

regarding the wedding events, which will be confirmed directly with the

 

_ If the overseas wedding planner is not staying on property on the wedding

day or any other day during the couple’s stay, a day pass fee will apply.

 

_ MUSICIANS: the hotel has certain outside musicians that work for our

different private functions. These musicians are recommended by the Hotel

Entertainment manager and have audition for us in order to work within our

premises.

If the couple desires to hire another musician that is not part of the ones

recommended by the hotel, the hotel will not be held responsible for

their performance

If the musician or band will stay/perform for an extended time, extra

fees might apply in the case that food or beverage must be provided by

the hotel.

If you decide to hire an outside musician, please note that you will have

to pay the hotel the vendors fee of $100usd and also you will have to

purchase a day pass of $75usd per person for every musician

Hope that clears it up for you!!!
