I
can hardly believe it is over! All those months of planning and we
pulled it off!
I cannot tell you
how fortunate Wayne and I feel to have had your assistance in planning
our wedding in Puerto Vallarta over the Memorial Day weekend! As I am
sure you are aware, it is hard to know whom to trust when working
exclusively via email, but it became clear very quickly that you and
your team knew what you were doing and that we were in very capable
hands. We appreciate your sincere efforts to make our dreams a reality.
I know I must have sent you a million emails and I appreciate how great
you were about responding. Every single person I have talked to since
the wedding has said it was the best wedding they have ever been to! As
you can imagine I am thrilled, but I am also so grateful to you for
helping me pull it off. Your recommendation for the site of Le Kliff
could not have been better for us! The people at the hair salon were
super! The cake was incredible--whatever baker you used should be given
an award! The minister was a sweetheart and she added so much warmth to
the ceremony! We loved every minute of that day and are so thankful
that you were all there to take care of every detail--we did not have to
worry about a thing. And then...on top of everything else...you
delivered our photos to us in less than a week!!! That was fantastic.
We are enjoying them very much. Ceci, I could go on and on. Honestly,
there are very few things that I would have done differently. You all
will always be part of our memories of that very special day.
The flower arch
was gorgeous! And the centerpieces turned out just fine. We really like
the photos. They do seem to capture the spirit of the day which is very
nice. We will be posting a bunch of the pictures on a web site soon and
if you want to use any of them feel free. I will let you know when they
are up.
Now
about that cake!!!!!! Whoever you found to make it really deserves HUGE
thanks. It was absolutely beautiful. It held up remarkably well in the
heat. And it tasted fantastic--it was so moist and light and the fruit
was delicious. I would highly recommend that cake to anyone interested
in trying something beside the ordinary traditional wedding cake! Let
me know if you want that recipie again. Everyone who tried it really
liked it.
Can I tell you
that I have not danced that much in years...I could hardly walk the next
day my knees were so sore. The DJ really kept the party jumping.
People had a lot of fun dancing...the only complaint (and it was minor)
was that there were not enough slow songs (for the "older" guests). In
retrospect, it would have been nice to break up the music to have a few
slower songs mixed in with the fast ones (if for no other reason than to
cool off for a minute ;-). Thank you for sending the DJ list...he did
play a lot of the songs that we chose and used the CDs we brought too.
I think that added to the fun factor since we chose songs that would be
familiar to our friends and family.
Everyone who had
their hair and nails done really liked the results! The ladies who
helped us get ready were very sweet and did a great job!
Le Kliff was
super. The food and drinks were great and the service was wonderful.
Everyone enjoyed the dinner very much. I heard no complaints. And who
could beat that view!!!!! Everyone even managed the steps ok!!!! That
was a big relief.
The busses and
suburbans worked out great! That was a great way to get everyone there
and back. Like I said, I could go on and on...
If you have
anybody who wants a reference and would like to talk to me, I would be
happy to do it for you! Just let me know. Or if you have any questions
about anything I have not talked about here, don't hesitate to ask.
Oh...and if
anyone wants a hotel reference for something a bit more personal than
the big resorts...I highly recommend Molino de Agua. It is not a fancy
place, but the service is great and it is very comfortable and has a
great location!! My guests loved it too. We were able to work out a
nice group discount on the rooms with them and they also help us put
together a nice cocktail party one night.
I guess that is
enough for now. I will let you know when the pictures are up on the web.
Our sincere and
endless thanks,
Shannon and Wayne
