We were told we were the largest wedding that FUSION Resort had ever accommodated. With 125 guests, they were not able to offer a sit down meal for our rooftop reception, however we loved the location, and our wedding planner, Lori, quickly offered a solution of a cocktail reception with heavy hors d'oeuvres. We loved the idea and our wheels quickly started turning with ideas. We had 4 separate courses throughout the evening - ranging from healthy and petite to fried and delicious as the evening progressed. FUSION catering was able to keep up and I never heard of anyone going hungry. They were even able to accommodate 2 special personal menu requests. We used every table the resort had to offer - from high tops to cafe tables, to couches with end tables. In the end, I think we had seating for 100, but no one had an assigned place, but everyone had a place to chill and relax when needed. We had one bar on the rooftop that was able to keep up with our high demand, they even were able to provide our requested signature cocktail, espresso martinis! Yum! We also opted for an additional "bar" at the bottom of the elevator to help kill time as guests had to wait to get up the elevator to the reception. Our photographers took full advantage of the property from the balconies, to the dock, to the grassy area, to the stairs to the rooftop. The sunset was unmatched! We absolutely loved celebrating all weekend at the resort with all our friends and families. It was so much fun to watch everyone arrive, meet at the pool deck, gather at the restaurant/bar, interact while getting ready day-of and we even got to giggle at the morning-after walks. Lori was our venue event planner, and she rose to every crazy idea we threw at her. She was a little slow to respond to emails, but then again, so were we! She was always available by phone or text. She was calm, cool and collected the day of and communicated with us throughout and even talked us through our bar bill doubling! Whoops! All in all, a fabulous venue if you're looking for a modern, outdoor, casual but professional rooftop wedding! Apologies that we don't have any photos of the venue empty - hopefully you get a good idea of the varied set up and the REALLY good time that was had.
