I'm getting married at the NOW on December 21, 2012. Its great to read everyone's comments. I too am really disappointed about Castaways not being available for the reception--that was one of the main reasons that I picked NOW. I'm nervous that in the material I was sent that it said I wouldn't pick the reception location until getting there, especially with other weddings potentially happening on the same day. My TA said that some people prefer a religious ceremony because it appears more "official" than the symbolic wedding by the wedding planner. Has anyone had a ceremony done by the wedding planner? Did it seem okay?
