Wedding Packages at Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites (What They Typically Include)

Most all-inclusive destination weddings run through a set of package tiers (often with names like Tropical Elegance, Caribbean Romance, and Jamaica Dream) that can be customized with upgrades for décor, florals, private events, and additional guests.

  • Symbolic ceremony setup (venue + seating + basic décor)
  • Wedding cake + sparkling wine toast
  • Bouquet + boutonniere (often included in entry packages)
  • Private events can be added (cocktail hour, reception, rehearsal dinner)
Tip: At Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites, venue selection matters as much as décor—choose the location that naturally matches your vibe (beach-romantic vs. pool-party vs. elegant-indoor) so you don't "buy the vibe" with upgrades.

  • Décor: statement arch/florals, aisle styling, lounge furniture
