Feel free to email me. Holland America weddings are managed by the owner of Royal Ocean Events Tonia. We've had no issues getting in touch with her.

Really the main thing we had to choose was what kind of cake we wanted.

Hi again Frank! I was wondering if you would possibly do something. You said Holland America's weddings are managed by the owner of ROE... Is it possible for you to mention there is someone trying to get information? I emailed the website Friday, didn't hear back. Called last night and left a message and finally got an email back this morning. The lady, Tina Norman, said she would forward my email to the rep, but I still haven't heard anything and that was at noon her time. I wonder if Tonia has other people managing emails and voicemails and would like to know it's been kind of difficult to get the information I'm looking for. I'm kind of frustrated, but what do I do? It's not like we have a choice in planners. :(

We are getting married May 19 on Holland America. Royal Ocean Events has been great to work with- VERY thorough and constant communication with us.

We had some "unique" requests that they took care of without a hitch.

Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

Thank you so much for your response! If you don't mind, I would like to keep in touch with you and see how it went. Choosing a cruise line for this is much more stressful than I thought. And although I'm sure your experience has been good, they didn't respond to my initial email and I had to call and leave a voicemail. Then they emailed me but needed to know which cruise line in order to send me to the right rep! That's my biggest concern! Would my wedding on cruise line A be nicer than cruise line B? So stressful and I just got started lol :confused:

Hello All!

We want to have our wedding on embarkation day of an Alaskan cruise out of Seattle, WA and I can't find ANY reviews, comments, or anything on this company! :eek: The name is Royal Ocean Events and they coordinate weddings for Holland America, Carnival, and Princess Cruise Lines. Has anyone done a wedding or planning a wedding with this company? I am not comfortable with the fact that I can't even really find anyone who has used them. Any information would be great! Also, I'm not completely sold on any one of these lines, so any reviews for other cruise line weddings would also be greatly appreciated!

:D Thanks!

Lol!!! Exactly! Thank you. I myself would love to get married on a ship, cruising is all I ever want to do! I was wondering though because I definitely can't afford to pay for all of those rooms! I wouldn't even if I could lol! The only thing is, after the wedding, you're stuck with all the family & people who come?? Lol!

Although it's true you are stuck with everyone, cruise ships are very large. You can easily enjoy the cruise and not even see anyone. Plus, when you stop in ports, you can do shore excursions alone. I plan to tell everyone they are pretty much on their own during the cruise, but I do want everyone to eat together at dinner time. Most cruises allow you to choose a time to eat and you eat at the same table every night, so I feel this will prevent my guests from feeling like I completely ditched them after the wedding. Besides, most of your guests will probably have their own significant others with them and will want their own time together ;)

Hi everyone!

Wow... I thought I was gettiing started too early. Not anymore! We are planning a cruise wedding for May 2014. I'm not sure which cruiseline yet, but we are definitely doing an Alaskan Cruise out of Seattle, WA! I live in Hawaii and spent many years in Florida, so I'm over the tropical stuff! I need a change of scenery!

I'm looking forward to this thread... I'm so hesitant about so many things involving the wedding. Most importantly, the service which will be provided by the cruise company and wedding planning company. I'm so afraid that once I get there they will be like, "well, this is what you get. Sorry if you don't like it". Oh well, I'm sure everything will work out.

Talk to everyone again soon! :p
