i'm getting married here in Feb 2012! I would love to hear any tips anyone is willing to give.

I haven't really done anything yet, except pick the date.

And we chose the resort in a rush without knowing much about it (long story). But all the pics and reviews look great!

Hi Chelsea, thanks for the offer! I'll be sure to ask any questions when I have any

I'm just too early in the planning stage right now to actually have any questions yet.

But if you have any tips on things that you loved about yours I would love to hear them!

Love your pics by the way!

Congrats you guys.  Also good job on choosing Excellence Riviera Resort.  Very beautiful with the dual piers.

Sounds great! I completely understand, everything has it's time in the planning process. 

 

A few things off the top of my head that I loved about our wedding were:

 

a) Having our wedding at ERC. Honestly, from the moment you walk into this resort, you know you're going to be treated incredibly. Our friends and family were blown away from the second they drove up and were dropped off, to the champagne that was handed to them as they got out of the shuttle and the check-in process. Their excitement grew as they walked down the grand staircase our to the pool where they could always find us from morning until dinner! They really worked with us on special touches from a design standpoint of our wedding and set up the reception exactly how I wanted. Everyone had an amazing time.

 

Our choice in photographers. Del Sol was absolutely amazing (as you can see with the pictures). They took the time to find out what kind of shots we didn't want and then added their famous flair to make them works of art that now hang on our walls!

 

c) Having a 5pm ceremony. Our wedding was in June (this Sunday will be our 1 year anniversary It was HOT and the best thing in our opinion was to have the ceremony on the beach no earlier than 5pm. Our cocktail hour on the pier was another huge love of mine...it just really was something different and everyone had a great time.

 

Let me know if you have any questions!

 

Best,

 

Chelsea

Chelsea,

 

Did Excellence provide the centerpieces for your reception or did you bring them with you?  Did you have choices for the beach gazebo decoration?  Any info you can provide about decorations and flower options would be fantastic!

 

Thanks.
