Dream Wedding!

We got married here on May 3, 2024 and our wedding at The Palms was a DREAM! The venue itself is STUNNING and doesn't require you to spend much time or money on decorating. The beautiful tropical plants and flowers that are already at the venue truly speak for themselves! As a result of this, we didn't need to spend much money on flowers or decor for the reception.

Our ceremony was on the beach, which, again, was stunning! Our cocktail hour was at the gazebo area, which has a beautiful, flower covered gazebo that is perfect for photos. Our seated dinner and dancing was at the Grand Tiki Hut, which once again, had a beautiful, tropical ambiance. Our guests absolutely loved the venue and we could not have been happier with how it turned out. It truly was a dream.

The on-site wedding coordinator, Vanessa Ortiz, was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was there for us every step of the way and on our actual wedding day, helped us with unexpected things (like helping my fiance unbutton the 30+ buttons on my dress so I could do an outfit change for the dancing, haha). She is warm, kind and amazing at her job. Vanessa took great care with all of the decor we brought and set up everything to our exact instructions. We also worked with her colleague, Barbara, for our wedding tasting. She was equally as kind and wonderful! Speaking of the tasting, The Palms has a restaurant on-site called Essensia, which was the caterer for all of the food (aside from the cake). Let me tell you, my husband and I are foodies and we both agreed that the food was absolutely delicious!

I cannot rave about this venue enough! Overall, it was a perfect experience and we were able to have our dream wedding! Do yourself a favor and have your wedding here! :)

Better than I could have asked for...

The Palms elevated our wedding to a level I didn't even imagine was possible. The all inclusive wedding packages 1. made booking everything SO easy (I was done in 2 months) 2. made a VERY elegant event budget friendly.

We still have friends and family talking about how good the food and cake was. Typically at weddings the chicken/steak is always dried out or you get small portions, not at the Palms. The food was delicious and was fresh and the portions were enough for all the guys to be full. The catering team and bartenders were on top of all the details - no one was waiting for a drink ever.

You could not ask for a prettier setting to have a wedding. The grounds landscaping is beautiful and made the pictures really pop with all the flowers. We had our reception in the tiki hut (highly recommend) and the party was so much fun.

Huge thank you to Barbara for answering EVERY (and I had a lot) of questions timely and with details and options. She made the entire process so stress free.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! We plan on going back to the Palms every year for our anniversary :) Also shout out to the best photographer, Jake Ford, for capturing these pictures!

Dream Wedding!

We had the wedding of our dreams at The Palms Hotel & Spa, and we can't say thank you enough!! We worked with Vanessa and she was beyond professional and lovely to work with. Everything that we wanted for our wedding we got. It was absolutely magical and it wouldn't have been possible if we had chosen a different venue. For what you receive, this is an exceptionally high value wedding venue. We wanted a smaller wedding and they were totally flexible with us and they accomodated everything we wanted. To assist with planning, they provided us with recommended vendors, but also let us choose our own. It was helpful to have their suggestions though, because that made everything more streamlined and easier to manage. And the hotel is beyond stunning! We wanted a tropical vibe for our wedding and they provided us with exactly that. Our wedding photos came out beautiful and it was because the hotel is just gorgeous. This company is incredibly professional and working with Vanessa was completely seamless. Our wedding was beyond what we could have hoped for, and it was such a pleasure working with them. We were so incredibly elated with everything and can't say thank you enough!!
