I talked to Gloria a month before my wedding and she was able to accommodate two entrees so other people can choose.  The only thing is that you have to know beforehand which guests are getting which meal before you get there at the resort.  It was easy enough for me since I had 30 people.  They were also able to accommodate my guest who has a gluten-free diet.  They're pretty much amazing!

 

Thanks,

Stella

Hi Stella,

 

Woot! That's great news about the entrees, thanks! We only have 22 guests, so it won't be hard getting people's orders beforehand. 

 

I have too many Ooohs and Aaahs over your photos (your photographer is amazing). Everything looked so lovely. You looked beautiful. I love your dress and your bouquet (yay succulents!). You just look so happy.

 

Your hair and makeup look awesome and I see you had your hair down which is what I want to do, so I'm glad to see it worked out for you. And it looks like you had one big long table for the reception - fun! We're thinking of doing that. 

 

Thanks for sharing your photos!

 

Thank you! I really recommend our photographer.  She is amazing!! She stayed at the resort so we didn't have to pay the outside vendor fee of $500.

 

I was worried about hair and makeup but they really did a great job.  The only thing I used that was mine was lipstick.  I showed him a picture and he took care of everything.  It didn't even feel heavy at all and by the end of the night, I still have makeup!

 

Honestly ladies, there really is not much to worry about.  The resort is amazing so don't worry about food, drinks or set-up.  Gloria is also very detail oriented that she picks up on what you want as long as you have a vision.  Have fun and enjoy!! We can't wait to go back for our anniversary!

Your wedding looks like it was awesome! Thanks for the review, photos and all the specifics, it helps so much. It sounds like there's not much to worry about!

 

I thought we could only choose one main entree for the meal. I really want to offer two choices. Did you have to pay extra for that?

I wanted to know if anyone had advice or if I should bring a picture for the hair stylists there. I wonder if its going to be difficult to request certain hair styles. Hmm...Any advice?

 

Hi Shellyaneric,

I brought a picture with me together with my hair pin (which I didn't know what exactly to do with it, but it was beautiful). He was able to work around it and I ended up having a beautiful hair!  I loved it! 

Hi fellow ERC brides!! My wedding was last January 11,2013 and it could not have been any more wonderful!! The Excellence is truly the perfect place to be.  I have pictures to share in case you guys are wondering.  I am also open to any questions you guys have:

Our photographer was absolutely amazing.  I recommend her if you guys need one. The great thing is that she was already there before so she definitely knows the great spots to shoot!  Tell her I sent you!  My personal email is [email protected] if you guys have any questions as well.  I'm excited for you guys!!!

I contacted DJ Mannia after Gloria booked him for me and he gave me a sheet to fill out with questions about what songs we wanted and the average age of everyone there.  From what I've read they will take requests all night and you can provide them with any music you want played and a style you would NOT want played.  According to them, they have an MC and DJ, lights, balloons for the event.

HI ampanda52,

Thanks! I will certainly do that. I'm so worried he will play crappy music and I really do not want to micro manage since DJs should know what songs to play. 

I am still curious about the menu for the reception dinner.  Any ERC brides that were already married there advise us on what is good that you have picked from your dinner?  Any advise is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello!

This question is for all the ERC Brides that already had their wedding at the resort.  I'm picking out my menu and would like to know what did you guys end up choosing and if it was delicious or commendable. 

I also heard about the DJ not having a good playlist. Did any of you guys had any problem?  Did you use your own playlist or did you end up using only the sound system instead?
 

Your input is greatly appreciate!

Thank you!

-Stella
