Hey! I'm getting married at the GCR on April 12, 2014. I fell in love with the chapel, and was super-psched when my fiance was just as excited about having a destination wedding there. I've been checking out some other threads about the GCR, and feel like I know what I'm in for. I have taken care of a few things already: I booked an outside photographer (Ivan Luckie; his work is gorgeous and his prices are within my budget, and based on the luke-warm reviews of the on-site photographers, I'm okay with going with an outside professional), I've already purchased some centerpieces that I will take down with me (some simple, lovely white candle-lit lanterns), and have booked a brief site visit this April. At this point, I know that my ceremony is at 4pm at the chapel, followed by a cocktail hour on the beach (which is actually only sparkling wine, unless I want to pay an extra $5 per person...and I don't), and a 3-hour reception on the Villas Terrace. My hope is to get save-the-dates out a year ahead of time, and to set up a website with more information. I'm not convinced that a travel agent is necessary... it seems to me that people are already planning on going down for different lengths of time, and using their air miles from different airlines... but we'll see... Happy planning!!
