Hi JennMc, Did she say anything about a reception option before dinner? I am stuck with the 1:00pm awkward wedding time. I can't get info back from her about the reception being before dinner. Thanks!

No problem at all!

Hi there, Wow these are the best pictures I have seen so far! I am getting married there June 1, 2013. I am stuck on decor for the tables. This is the semi private dinner, correct? Do you know what of that decor is provided?

Hey Yassy, You don't have to have them notarized by a lawyer, just any notary. I am not sure of the cost because I just had someone in my office at work notarize them for me. It should not be much for that at all! The documents that they need are notarized copies of you and the grooms birth certificates, passports, and drivers license. If either person needs a name change form if they were ever adopted or married previously, they would need that one too.

Hey ladies, An FYI make sure you mention to Keisha when she would like your notarized documents sent for your marriage certificate. She did not contact me for the first time until today and I am getting married in 30 days. I had to send her my documents Fed Ex from VA and it cost $120 to send four pieces of paper to get to her by the 30 day make of the wedding day. I have had a not so great experience with her. My travel agent has been talking to her supervisor, Keisha told her supervisor that she contacted me and had not. The response I got from Keisha was well I assumed that your TA would have fowarded you messages. Whaaa!? This lady better be glad I am nice and that she is responsible for what my wedding is going to look like! Ha

Hey ladies, Thank you all for the advice and help. I agree, the photographer from the resort is not really my style. Does anyone have any good suggestions on outside photographers? So basically for any of the wedding packages what it does not include is a reception? If you want a private or semi private reception you chose which ever? Like I said I know I should have known all of this but haven't been contacted or sent anything until this week. I will only have 20 guests so I don't think I want anything over the top for the reception but wow I have a lot of time to fill. With a 1:00pm ( not by choice) ceremony then dinner at 6:30pm. Does anyone have suggestions about decor for the dinner table? Is anyone bringing there own center pieces or anything? You all have been so helpful! Wish I found this site sooner ha!

Hi Danielle03, I was not worried about using the photographer with the resort until I read a blog on trip advisory about a couple who never got there photos and were told to pay in advance. I was hoping to see if anyone else has used others or been suggested of others. The reception is where I am confused. I did pay for the wedding package but it sounds like the ceremony and dinner that is included is different from the reception that others have been talking about. I am having a 1:00pm ceremony and have no idea a time frame of anything. I just don't want to miss the timelines of when to book things. I am nervous because I was told by my travel agent that I would here from Keisha 60 days out and I have just heard from here 35 days out. I've heard of people not getting there marriage licenses for 10 weeks after the wedding and in the only email she has sent was for the documents for our license and that I needed to Fed Ex them to her immediately when she is at fault for waiting so long to get to me. Also all the pictures I've seen of weddings at the resort are so out dated. I would love to see more photos of what to expect! Ha, sorry about the long response! I guess I have just been waiting a long time and now everything is so soon and it does not feel organized at all.

Hello Brides!, I am getting married June 1, 2013 at ROR and was wondering after reading quite a few blogs if anyone could give me some pointers. I have just heard from Keisha for the first time 3 days ago. It looks like there is a lot that I still need to be aware of what to expect. I have sent her a list of questions but am pretty much in the dark. I have not booked a photographer, reception, spa appointments, etc. I have been waiting to hear what is next. The link she sent me of extras didn't work so I asked if she could send it again. Anyone have any advice of what I should be doing at this point? Thank you!!
