Hi MrsD!!

 

WOW!! We share the same wedding date the resort! Our wedding is on April 18 @ 2pm!! I live in Vancouver and I'm SO excited for the big day - just under 5 months now!! How have you found dealing with the resort? Can I ask - are you using the resort photographer or bringing your own?

 

Looking forward to hearing back from you soon!!

 

Cheers!!

Hello Ladies. I am beginning to get really excited, our date is approaching fast. Great to have this thread.

My date is 2 days after yours, we are arriving on the 17th, maybe I will see you.

So happy to help!!!  I don't know what I would have done without this site.

 

The Poseidon was a decent enough size, definitely large enough for a reception.  Seating is kind of in a L shape, so that could help with making it more private.

 

I worked with Sandy from Tai Flora for flowers, and the resort for my centerpieces.  Flowers weren't bad at all (price), but I'm unsure if you can upgrade bouquets any longer (if upgrading to one not on the site).  At last minute they were trying to say I can only use the upgrades listed on the site, however, it was pretty easy for me to get my way. LOL

 

I brought other decorations with me and they decorated it for no extra cost.  I don't think you will have an issue with the paper lanterns.  They will look really pretty.

 

Happy Planning!

I was also able to finally find a few more pictures of what The Posiedon actually looks like (inside and out) from what you remember, was it on the smaller side? It looks like you chose the Waves of Love wedding package, which is what i picked as well. I was wondering who you worked with for your flowers/center pieces for the reception. Did you find it to be expensive? Also, are you able to add some decor to match your style at the reception (ie: white hanging paper lanterns etc.) Sorry for all the questions but you are THE most helpful person! All of your ideas and suggestions are SO helpful!
