Well I just got back from our wedding at Now last weekend. It was WONDERFUL!! The staff there was amazing and I didn't have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. I had been communicating with Anel the entire time, but Ramon took care over our wedding once we got there. I was really impressed with the service he provided and all the information he was able to remember;) I absolutely loved the flowers we got and we used their florists. As far as your last discussion about when do to cocktail hour/reception/etc, I didn't have any idea when to schedule that stuff either. Once we had our meeting with Ramon he lead us in the right directions for a time line. I wouldn't worry too much about the planning forum, it doesn't seem like they look at it until shortly before you arrive and you can change a lot of things once you get there. We had our ceremony at 4:30 and didn't start the cocktail hour until 5:30. We did some pictures after the ceremony so from 5-5:45. So the guests had plenty of down time to enjoy cocktail hour before dinner was served. I think any more time would have been too much standing around time. Like Sandy said my groom and I missed half of the cocktail hour doing other things, I didn't even get to try all the tasty cocktail treats! I'll post a link to some of the pictures. The resort was beautiful! If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, this forum was super helpful for me so I would love to help out anyone else needing reassurance;) If you picked Now Sapphire, I don't think you'll be disappointed with your wedding day! http://sbphotoblog.com/?p=2148
