DREAMY Beach Wedding

Where do I even begin? My wedding at the Emerald Grande was DREAMY! From day one of my interest in this venue, the whole team made me feel listened to and they were always very responsive. I worked with Emily for most of my wedding planning process and she made sure that I was meeting deadlines and answering the questions that needed to be answered on a timeline. If it wasn't for her keeping me on track, I'm not sure what I would have done! Any question I asked was answered quickly and honestly and Emily gave her knowledge and input to guide me in my decision making, which was more than welcome (and I think saved us some money on things we didn't need to spend money on)! Once I got closer to my wedding date, I began to work with Annette who was fabulous! My whole wedding party and family knew exactly where to be and when to be there without me lifting a finger. Annette really was the glue the day of the wedding and kept everyone in line (even the boys)! "The food was the best I've ever had at a wedding" was a common phrase I heard about our wedding. We were even able to add in some pigs in a blanket to our appetizer list and ALL allergies were addressed and catered to the day of the wedding. The team made sure to contact all of my vendors and I rested assured knowing that the whole day was taken care of and they knew and understood my vision. I got ready in a bridal suite at the Grande which was overlooking HarborWalk and it was such a relaxing, beautiful view for the morning of the wedding and even the next day as we had a little goodbye sendoff for some of our guests. My family was even able to see us during our first look on the beach from our condo!!! How special! The first look on the beach is priceless and something everyone should do! There ended up being a LOT of people on the beach on my wedding day, so Annette made the decision to switch beaches and go to a beach right before the Grande's private beach that only had one group of people there. The photos on the rocks were INCREDIBLE and the sunset was to die for. The Grande was even able to accommodate our dog at the ceremony and made sure he had water and even let him hang out in the AC when it became too hot for him. We did our ceremony on the Captain's Deck, cocktail hour and reception in the HarborView Room. The level of care was unmatched and if you're looking for that perfect beach wedding, choose the Emerald Grande!!
