We were married at the resort on the beach and it was amazing! The aisle and gazebo were covered in bright flower petels and the chairs also had flowers on them. Their was an arch made out of palm fronds and flowers that was beuatiful. I was picked up at our room by a horse and carriage and the ride along the beach to the ceremony was so much fun! We paid an extra fee to have a private dinner in the garden for everyone who attended the wedding and it was well worth the extra cost. The food was very good and more than enough than we needed. The food and dinner tables were decorated with lots of flowers and animal sculptures made out of fruits and vegetables. The wedding package included a photographer who was excellant. He took the pictures we wanted but also took a lot of unposed shots. We received all of the pictures (400+) on a CD before we left the resort.
We would definately reccommend getting married at this resort. The planning process was very straight forward and all of my emails to the resort staff and lawyer (provided by the resort) were returned within one business day and answered my questions. Our wedding day was beautiful and a lot of fun and the resort staff were excellent! |

the wedding was awesome!! The wedding planner took care of everything. it was a no stress situation from the time we booked the wedding to when it actually took place on the beach. I had alot of contact with the wedding planner via email who was very good at answering all my bride to be questions. I met with them upon my arrival and picked out the location of the ceremony ( beach) and where my dinner would be, ( poolside) and what my menu would be ( filet mignon and chicken parmesan) to how i wanted the beach decorated and what colour flowers i wanted for my bouquet and hair, to arranging spa services for my wedding day massage with my maid of honour. The were really good as i did have anxiety surrounding the pending take over by hilton and did not want that to interfere with my wedding plans but everything was perfect.
The planner also connected me with the lawyer who was also very good and took care of all my documents and legalities which was included int he wedding package.
Photographer
As recommended by the wedding planner i used juan Cantillia from Pronto Foto. He was fabulous, all my guests commented on how professional he was, and the pictures that i got were fabulous, all 900 of them. He works with his wife who spent time in my room while i was getting ready while he was with the groom to be taking picture after picture. He was very creative in how he took the pictures and i was very very pleased with his work and how he interacted with me and my guests. if anyone would like to see them i would be honoured to post any. You can see a sample of his work is you go to www.steveandshelbieswedding.com
