Hey girls! If you are a past or future El Dorado Royale bride, please post your name and wedding date and any other details (ceremony site, reception site, etc...) you would like to share.

Shannon - getting married at EDR on May 16, 2008 -small wedding of approx 20 guests..

 

 

Currently - though it's changed a trillion times so who knows what it'll look like in May....

wedding ceremony at 4PM- was at Casitas Gazebo- but if the limit of guests is 15 -not sure now-- maybe at the Gazebo near the Presidential Suites or Building 55 Gazebo..

white glove cocktail party - after ceremony- at the Gaviotas Palapa location -while we take pictures, wait to be seated for dinner.

dinner/reception (part of "free" sweet package) - at Fuentes

chocolate fondue/cake cutting/ first dance ,etc - at covered pool location after dinner....

The night after our wedding -meeting with guests on their last night before they leave- at Tucanes -for a private dinnner [/b]at 7PM off of EDR's private catering menu... FI and I are staying a few more nights after they leave....

 

Cool post idea- this will be super helpful!
