  1. Our daughter married this past June at the Regent Grand and I wanted to post a few thoughts. When we were researching the wedding this website was so helpful and I wanted to “pay it forward†and share what we learned. We used Ileana Ravasio, formerly with Brilliant, but now on her own with Attimi Photography. I believe this is her website http://attimiphotography.com We first met Ileana at her office and immediately felt a great connect with her. She is very personable, easy to talk to and I could tell she understood immediately that the photography portion of the wedding was very important to us. In the end all you really have is your memories and then your photographs. We browsed through many photos/ albums and decided after looking at the options that she is who we wanted . Honestly, we ended up choosing her and the Turks and Caicos location because we couldn’t give up her photography. I just knew she would produce what we hoped for. We gave her an extensive list of photos to take of the time before, during and after the wedding, had numerous back and forth emails especially AFTER the wedding when we were putting together our books and she always answered quickly and graciously. We opted for a “Trash the Dress†session with her which looks like the cover of a destination wedding magazine. I couldn’t believe how beautiful these turned out. I can’t say enough about her professionalism especially during the wedding when she was present but not intrusive and knew when and where to be to capture the special moments. She arrived on the wedding day exactly when she said she would with the videographer. Around these parts they say that the “proof is in the puddingâ€. Wow the photos were incredible, edited perfectly, presented beautifully and organized so that we could use them in the future. We bought the rights to the photos which was easy and all handled online. We get so many compliments every day on the portrait which hangs in our waiting room lobby….its unbelievable. Until I saw her work I had never seen wedding photos like this before…..You won’t be disappointed in Ileana and I would highly recommend her to capture your precious wedding moments. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have about our experience. I dont have time to post reviews for all the many vendors we used to pull the wedding together but they were Lynn Watts from Nila Destinations, The Regent Grand, Sail Provo and John Tsvalas at Lemon Cafe. If you google these you will find lots of helpful information and they all seem to have Facebook pages.
  2. Hi there and thank you for all the helpful info.....Are there any chapels or other venues to marry besides beachfront, and big resort, or private villa.....just trying to consider all the options some of which may be a bit more reasonable. The thought of having to book a certain number of rooms to 'host" your wedding is a bit nerve wracking especially in this economy....some guests who are planning to come might have a change in circumstances and then what happens the room reverts to the rack rate!!! that might come as a huge shock to some of the guests. Trying to avoid that problem, hopefully. Is there ever the option of staying say at the palms and hosting the actual event next door at the Somerset? Thank you so much.
  3. Hi there ...... thank you so very much for all your help Krys at Brilliant....you can't imagine how reassuring it is to have someone to ask questions especially when we live so far away and cant just pop in the car and drive over there!! You are really very very helpful and we all appreciate it very much!!! We are coming to visit in June 1-5 to check out The Regent Palms, Ganservoort, The Veranda, The Somerset, and Windsong.......would you make appointments ahead of time or just go to the resort while we are there to check it out. We arrive on a Wed and leave on Sun afternoon. Has anyone had a recent wedding at the Regent Palms or a recent past event there. Thats the number 1 choice so far but I will know more when we meet with the individual hotels. Should we try to get some quotes before going down there or just wait and do it all in June....the wedding is not until Spring of 2012 but I know it comes quickly and I want to book the hotel sooner rather than later. Thank you so much for any help you can give. I am renting a car from Grace Bay car rentals so we can go and come as we please.....do you all think its necessary...we are staying at the Windsong....they were very pleasant and helpful on the phone.
