Congrats @@SusanMarie813 ! We are getting married there on May 30, 2015 and are expecting around 60 guests. We're doing a planning visit in late March and meeting with Teresa to decide on packages, flowers, do tastings, look at the venues, talk about rehearsal dinner spots, etc. I am thinking I may do a hair/makeup trial then as well. Have you made any decisions about this stuff?

Congrats all! Yes, I am also working with Teresa. I haven't communicated w/ her in awhile. I think I mentioned that we are planning to do a visit in March after the resort is open to make a lot of the decisions. Does anyone know of options for children for the reception? i.e. do they have a kids menu for dinner that is not as much as the $45 add up cost? We also picked a photographer. Originally thought we would fly someone in, but decided to go w/ someone local and are going w/ M&J photographer -- we Skyped with them and another photographer, Elizabeth Medina. We liked them both a lot, but ultimately decided to go w/ M&J.

Yes, I think we will do the Gold Excellence Package too. We are doing a symbolic wedding. It does sound pretty straightforward to do the legal wedding, but we decided to go w/ the symbolic for a couple of reasons - I had heard or read that it can take awhile to process the paperwork afterward, so there may be some lag time (I can't remember exactly the details I saw/heard on this) and we also want to have our own officiant. I'm sure there are some threads on this somewhere on this site.

Congrats! How much in advance are you planning to pick out your package/options? Have you already done this? I think we are going to do a site visit after it opens so that maybe we can do some of this stuff in person.

Hi - I received our wedding confirmation letter over the weekend from the Finest and we will be getting married there on May 30, 2015! I'm uploading the wedding information that they sent me. We haven't made any decisions on wedding packages yet and are working on a group room block right now. It is a little bit nerve wracking that it is not yet open, but am feeling confident that it will go smoothly because of the other resorts in their family. If not, oh well! Haha. As for wedding/videographer, we are probably going to hire someone locally (my fiance and I are based in Washington, DC/Arlington, VA respectively) and fly them in. Finest Wedding infomation.pdf
