Now Jade 2012 Bride

[vdfellers]

HI Bride to be,

I just got married last Tuesday and everything was beautiful!! I would say you can let Pilar know at least two days before you arrive. She can then tell the kitchen which Devine dinner package you would like. We just did Devine 2 and it was great! all of our guests really loved it.

Deisy is super sweet, She and Pilar handled my entire wedding being that I was the only wedding happening that day so I totally got more attention. Typically on the weekends they can do up to 3 weddings. Just know that in case it rains your recepition will be in the Bamboo room which is still nice. It drizzled for a little bit and she didn't want to take chances so she moved it inside which I kinda of liked better.

 

Hope this helps!

Vanessa

Yes you just order your drinks from the waiters. They are REALLY good at keeping the drinks coming...I don't remember ever having to ask for another one...it was just there for me! You will not be disappointed...the resort does a fantastic job with the weddings!

The castaways is nice but just note it might get really hot! We were in the Bamboo room with AC and we all were sweating! Just something to think about :)Yes the waiter walks around and you can request drinks from them.  They even started bringing drinks out to all the guests without asking.  Most people didn't even drink too much during our reception because it goes by so quick (between the dances, speeches, eating, cake cutting and dancing)!!! We ended up going to the beach bar after for drinks.

I will agree that Castaways is warm but it wasn't anything that anyone complained about. I didn't even really notice it to be honest (and I always sweat! haha) There was a nice breeze since you are close to the ocean so that helped.

Oh thats great! I guess it just depends on the night and how humid it is!

I hope it's not too hot but in June I won't be too hopeful! I originally had the ocean terrace but I heard you can only have the rectangular tables out there. My future mother-in-law INSIST that we have the round tables! I don't know why, but it's one of her many request

Unfortunately June is a rainy month so hope for the best! I had my wedding on June 1 and it pored! It still turned out beautiful though. Best of luck!
