Hi Sheri,

 

I would so appreciate any advice / tips you have in regards to having a wedding there. I am getting married there in November. Who was your planner?

 

Thanks so much!

congrats and welcome!

Hi Tanya,

It was amazing! Our wedding planner was Daniella. She is great. Not much gets planned before you are down there so don't be worried! I would just make sure you obviously have the date and location booked, as well as the location for the dinner. We had our ceremony @ 6:00 on the beach. It was gorgeous! They gave us the option for 2 o'clock or 6, as there was another wedding booked for 4 @ the gazebo. Definitely glad we went with the 6 o'clock as it was so hot still @ 2, plus everyone is still @ the pool and the beach ceremony site is in front of one of the pools. We had our dinner @ the steak house which was really good. They set up the dinner for all of our 48 guests and us @ one big square table so we could all see each other and gave us our own private section with music and a microphone for some speeches. We debated doing the 'private' reception on the beach, but it was a lot of money and we had a lot of people. Plus, we had a big reception for 170 people once we got home.

We picked the music, cake, flowers etc once we got down there. And the blood work is no big deal! Just ask for Daniella once you get there if she is your planner and she will arrange a time to meet with you the day after you arrive and to get the blood work done. Her office is just to the left of the reception desk.

Any other questions just let me know!! I would be happy to help!
It is definitely a great experience!!
