I had Sandra as my planner also. She is WONDERFUL! She was so helpful and responsive, both before we arrived and after we got there. The day after we checked in we had our appointment and I was completely reassured. (Although it was just the two of us...so I didn't have a lot of details like a reception etc. to plan.) She had a big list with all of the elements and how the timing would work and it was perfect! She also had the photography representative waiting there so we could talk with her and pick out our package. I would also recommend the spa for hair and makeup. I forgot the name of my beautician but she did a terrific job. I am part Black, so I was really worried that she might not be able to straighten my naturally curly hair but she did great.

Congratulations LeBlanc brides!! I would love to see your pics...I am on FB also - Shawn Abernethy. My pictures are on our website at shark2011.com. We just had our incredible at home reception in Seattle last Sunday on March 6th, about 150 people at the Lake Union Cafe. Amazingly that went almost as perfectly as LeBlanc. I still can't believe how all of the little details I had been planning for MONTHS totally fell in place!!! I still am just enraptured by how lovely and relaxing LeBlanc was. I went out with my friend last night who just got back from her honeymoon at Sandals St. Lucia. She had a good time, but there was little stuff like the service that had issues. Also at Sandals they have weddings multiple times a day. At LeBlanc we were the only ones during our stay and I think the next one was scheduled for 2/23...it really made it special. I'm happy it's all over...all I am doing this weekend is relaxing, sleeping, and eating!

Hi Pazzesca, We got the resort photographer, and we were very happy with the results. We got the 62 picture package ($600) and added the CD with all the pics ($400). We had the $1500 vacation credit special, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that we could use $600 towards the photography! My wedding was actually almost totally free!!! I spent $89 & $8 to upgrade the bouquet and the boutonniere, the photos, and the $300 administrative/civil charge, and that was it! I got my hair, makeup, and mani/pedi done and the rates were totally reasonable, I think it was $125 for hair and makeup; maybe $55 for mani/pedi...and I got to use the vacation credits towards that and also a couples massage! I was a very low maintenance bride because it was just the two of us though, and I didn't have to worry about a wedding party or reception. (We are having a reception in Seattle for 175 on March 6th so I am madly planning the last details for that now.) I would love to answer any questions you have about Le Blanc and the wedding, feel free to PM me your email address. I was incredibly happy with how everything turned out, and I didn't have to worry about anything! Best, Shawn.

Everyone's rings are absolutely stunning! Here's mine, if I can figure out how to post it. I'm glad to be finally able to wear my wedding band now! www.shark2011.com

We had a beautiful wedding in Cancun, Mexico on February 8, 2011. It was just the two of us - we are having a big reception in Seattle in 2 weeks. I will post more later, but I have only raves about the Leblanc resort and the complimentary wedding there. It was magical and all I ever dreamed it to be! The best way to see the pictures is to visit our wedding website at www.shark2011.com and click on the Photos section on the right. Enjoy! -shawn

Hi all! I'm set to be married at Le Blanc on 2/8/11! I can't wait, we're really getting close! The ceremony will be just the two of us, and then we are also planning a big wedding reception at the Lake Union Cafe in Seattle. I've been emailing with the wedding coordinator, spa coordinator, and photography place and they all seem very responsive. From all the pictures I've seen it's going to be wonderful! Keep me posted on your plans, Le Blanc brides! -shawn www.shark2011.com
