Amazing experience overall
The only negative thing that I would say about that day, are the golfers. I was not aware that there would be golfers on the course during the ceremony. Specifically, I was surprised of how close they were to us. We were told that the golfers would stay away from the area we were in, but that did not happen. During the ceremony, we could hear them being loud. One of them even drove by and stopped right in front of the ceremony where my entrance was. They were being quite obnoxious, but I really feel that IMG should have closed off that area during the ceremony. I feel strongly about this because, more importantly, during our solo shots on the course, our videographer was almost hit by a golf ball coming fast in our direction. The golfer tried to laugh it off, but it was a serious situation where someone could have gotten hurt. My partner and I did not feel safe taking pictures on the course, which was unfortunate because based on the photos that IMG has on their website, it seems that they advertise the location for beautiful photo opportunities, but do not mention the risk of golfers. If they are allowing ceremonies to be performed on the course, they should make sure that the couple and all attending guests are safe to be there. I definitely would not want a future bride or groom, or anyone, to get hurt. I brought this up to Debbie the next day, and she was very upset by this and said she would be bringing it to the attention of the board. If you are considering doing a wedding here, I would recommend asking about the golfers if you are having an outside ceremony.
I did not let this affect my rating because of how amazing Debbie and Sadie were to us, and that incident was out of their control.
Awesome experience, great all around
