Iberostar Rose Hall Beach

Papoue - OMG that's awesome!!!  I can't believe it's a year away already!  It's definitely gotten more exciting!  I just emailed my travel agent for updated rates so I can book the rooms and really start the whole planning process!  It will be here before we know it!  Are you getting married on the beach or the terrace?  I haven't decided yet.  I'm thinking the terrace since I would like it to be a little more private.  I feel that on the beach everyone will standing around us in their bathing suits and am not really sure how I feel about that!  LOL

Has any one recieved the 2013 package/option and pricing info? I just emailed the Beach Wedding Coordinator inquiring it, but I should have checked with you girls first. Thanks!

Hi Laura - I haven't received anything.  I also have an email out to the WC at the resort.  When I booked the wedding those prices weren't out yet and she quoted me the 2012 prices.  If I find out anything I will let you know. 

[Laura2013]

She actually already emailed me back already : ) She said they do not have a new 2013 list but will email to me one immediately if one becomes available. The lady that emailed me back name was Santena and she was great, she answered all of the questions I asked (at least 10). I was very pleasantly surpised. : )

haha I keep making the mistake of sending a long email, and then immediately following it with an extra question that I forgot. They ALWAYS only answer the second short question and never get to my real questions. GRR. So I sent my longer list back... here's hoping I get a response!

[Laura2013]

I know I have read the bride and groom are allowed to take off their bracelets for the wedding day, but does anyone know if the guests are permitted to take them off as well? This may not be a big deal to some people, but I am also a photographer and I know its going bother me if those bracelets make it into all of our photos. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that I read that the wedding party is, not sure about the other guests.

So I just found out that because I won't have 30 people I won't be able to rent the disco. I'm also worried because if I can't do the disco I'll have to do a bonfire at the beach BUT I'm getting married on a Thursday and I heard the IRHB has a beach party that night...so idk if that's even possible. Any suggestions???

Ok so now I am really confused about a beach reception. I just got this email back from one of the Beach WCs (her reply is in blue):

 

Santena,

 

Thank you for all that information and getting back to me so quickly, it is extremely helpful. Just had a few more questions. We would love to have a beach reception. Is there an additional fee for the beach reception? For the beach reception if you’re choosing from the beach menu we will provide the tables, silver wares, chairs etc. but if you’re going to rent the tent it would be an additional cost. You mentioned we would need to rent a tent if we had a certain amount of people, how many people would require a tent? The tents come with different sizes for different prices you can reach out to Tai flora to know additional information about tents. We work with an external company called Tai Flora; below you will find the web page:

www.taiflora.com

 

If we don't need to rent the tent, are there a minimum number of people required to have a beach reception? Is the tent rented through Tai Flora or Iberostar? Tai flora so you can reach out to them their email address is above. Do you know the cost for the tent? Does the resort use DJ's from a certain DJ company? We do provide our own DJs. I also didn't see the script for the ceremony attached. Could you send that to me when you can. I don't need any of this info right away, so take your time if you need it. Ok no problem I will attach it.

 

So my main question is does anyone know what she is talking about when she mentions about choosing from the "beach menu"  ?????

[Laura2013]

I requested a copy of the script used for the ceremony and this is it if anyone is curious:
