Iberostar Grand Rose Hall

Hi Everyone...wondering how you dealt with blocking or enabling your guests reservations?

 

I've been to IGRH before and really liked it so we will be going for our wedding in Dec. 2013.  Lots of time to book as I don't think prices are out or bookings are accepted that far in advance.  However, I want to book in a manner that doesn't put pressure on my ~70 guests to pay more than the market rates.   I also want to ensure I get a block of rooms or at least provide a decent window for people to book.  Most aren't broke so a hundred or so premium won't hurt guests, but don't want to be the facilitator of them paying too much. 

 

travel agent? direct with resort?  tour company?

I heard back from Tai Flora on the cost of setting up a dance floor, bamboo stalks and lights. The cost is $2,000. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi ladies!  I am very frustrated with the "Gala" menus at the Grand.  I have certain people in my wedding who are vegetarians and picky eaters.  It seems like we may have guests go hungry and that should not be the case when you are spending 70 per person!  Have they ever allowed you to customize a gala meal that is supposed to be a set menu?

I had the same concern about the cocktail hour menu. They are not very flexible. For dinner, I had a few picky eaters and asked that they made a nice dinner salad with steak- that was do-able for them, but that's all!

I'm frustrated with it too. I asked if we could mix and match the salad, entree and dessert from the different gala menus and they no. It's ridiculous considering we pay $70 pp

Hi Ladies,

 

I read on a previous thread (Iberostar Grand Rose Hall Brides 2012) that the Grand is limiting photographers to a certain few. Is this true?! I booked Misha Earle and now I'm scared!!! HELP!

Someone on a different thread said the same thing.

We used Misha in our June 2012 wedding... she was fabulous!! Hopefully this is not true!

hi everyone! new to the site, officially booked for july 2013!! can't wait!  love reading over everything you have been discussing. thinking of doing ceremony on the beach and private reception in the port maria around 60 people. have you found it's better to use a travel agent, or just have everyone book on their own. ALSO any pics of the port maria all done up? can't really find any.  thanks so much!!!
