Paul and Magda,
This was our first destination wedding and we were so fortunate
Gina and
Eric chose Coconut Cove Resort to fulfill their ideal wedding
experience.
Many of our guests chose to enjoy a long weekend on Islamorada
because of
such a wonderful location. As a result, family and friends gathered
throughout the weekend evenings to share reports on the activities
of the
day. We had stories of diving, fishing, touring, bathing and 'just
plain
relaxing' experiences.
Coconut Cove Resort became our extended home base throughout
the long
weekend leading up to Sunday evening's wedding ceremony. We couldn't
have
had better help from all of you at the resort to make all our
guests feel
welcome.
Paul, your ceremony on the beach was so personal and suited to
our bride and
groom. They wanted a relaxing, tropical setting with "island
time" pace and
so it was.
Magda, all your flower arrangements and bouquets were so beautifully
created
and provided the perfect floral accents both on the beach and
around the
reception area. We all await the photography you produced because
just
seeing the pre-production set-ups make the end result so excitedly
anticipated.
By the many reports from our guests, the food choices served
were a big hit.
The chicken and fish got rave reviews and all the sides were wonderfully
delicious. Kudos to the cake baker of the key lime wedding cake.
It had to
be the most tasty wedding cake we have ever had and were lucky
enough to
have enjoyed some leftovers!
Your deejay did a great job as well. Our suggestion would be
to perhaps
move his staging to the pool side of the tiki hut to allow for
better
natural air flow off the beach onto the dance floor; or perhaps
a ceiling
fan installed over the dance floor area would work. Many guests
got too
warm to dance after the initial introductions, but they did enjoy
the music
anyway as background to conversation.
Thank you to Rick for all his good natured assistance throughout
the
weekend. He gave great advice for local eateries for our guests
and kept
the coffee flowing throughout the day. The Island Grill provided
a great
place for an informal gathering for many of our guests on Friday
evening to
meet and get to know each other which then carried over through
the weekend.
Thank you to Pam in Housekeeping for taking such good care of
our bride and
groom and many of our guests.
Thank you to the ladies who set up for the reception; they were
very
accommodating with a few special requests and made our reception
area look
like a tropical fairyland.
Paul and Magda, you certainly do your best to make your weddings
the best
they can be and we look forward to enjoying your hospitality again
soon.
Warmest Regards,
|
