Thanks amanda50388! How well did the officiant speak English? Than seems to be a question I receive most often from family and friends about the ceremony.

Thanks!... I did the same thing, as soon as I got down the aisle I told my husband to switch sides with me, I couldn't stand the veil blowing in my face.

If you'd like you can watch the streaming video of our ceremony.... her english was pretty good, accented but still good.  She had no problem reading our script that we gave her.   This might give you a better idea of what things look like and work like.  Our ceremony spot is Gazebo 55.

She spoke well, she followed our ceremony that we had printed out and added stuff in that made it amazing with what we already had. It was a beautiful ceremony and we were lucky to have her officiant as well as she did.

we had a male officiant. he followed our script just fine, and our guests could understand him. I don't think he was the warmest orator....but I barely remember anything he said anyway.

I think as long as your ceremony script is really clear then you should be good. Like who is speaking when, what music is playing, who to hand the microphone to, etc. Ours had kind of a heavy accent, and I asked my guests if they could understand her, and they said for the most part they could. I second Allie, I barely listened to ours haha. I was so wrapped up in the moment and whatnot - plus I had written the whole thing, so I kind of knew what was coming.

Thank you so much.  The wind did keep it cool... and it wisked my tears out of my eyes so I couldn't cry, which helped for sure. 

 

I should note that right before the ceremony the officiant asked my husband if we didn't mind having her add in a passage that she thought we would really like.  My husband told her to go ahead and add it.  She added in, ironically a reading about the "hands" that we decided to omit in one of our script revisions.  While I don't care much about the addition, she then didn't finish the rest of the script with our ending.  Because of that the music cues were off and we didn't get the ending I was really hoping for.  It was still a nice ceremony and she was well intentioned, the error isn't one that anyone but us noticed.  But, it should still be noted as an error.  Simply telling the officiant to stick to the script and not adlib would have solved the issue, but my husband didn't tell her that so she just did her own ending.

Hi, 

 

We will be using the El Dorado Royale spa (not the casita spa) to get ready for the wedding. Has anyone used this spa before? I was just in a local wedding this past weekend and felt that my hair and makeup made a huge difference in how I felt. I am nervous about my hair and make up for the wedding. Does anyone have any pictures or recommendations for the spa? Or did anyone have a bad experience that I should know about?

 

 

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! 

My mom and MIL used the EDR Royale spa, but just for makeup. What I would recommend is doing a trial. I was at the casita spa and honestly hated my makeup at the trial, so I"m so glad I paid the extra $49 to get this before the actual wedding.
