Ceremonies should be reserved at least 6 months in advance; however, shorter reservation
periods will be considered, based on availability.
Can relatives be witnesses? (i.e. parents )
Yes, there is no problem if you decide to make your parents witnesses; however you will
need to be sure that they have the complete documentation and also that witnesses are
older than 18 years.
If I have guests who would like to attend the wedding, but will not be staying on
the same property where the wedding will be performed, can they still attend the
wedding?
Yes.However, guests not staying at the resort must purchase a day pass upon arriving to
the resort. The day pass gives the guest full access to the resorts amenities. (Please be
sure to check restrictions for day passes with your wedding coordinator on site).
Can I pay for the wedding package and extra services at the resort?
Yes, the payment can be done upon arrival to the resort. The payment can be: credit card
(Visa, MasterCard or American Express), traveler’s cheques or cash.
When will we receive our marriage certificate?
A copy of the Marriage Register is given to the newlyweds upon conclusion of the ceremony
by the marriage officer. Two certified copies of the original Marriage Certificate will be sent
to you within 6 to 8 weeks following the ceremony.
Does the Minister usually do a standard (generic) wedding or are we allowed to
insert our own vows?
The Minister has a standard ceremony; however if you have prepared your own vows there
is no problem and we can incorporate them into the ceremony.

Since all the preparations have been organized in advance, we cannot cancel the ceremony;
but you do not need to worry because we do have a backup plan at a nice location. (For
any further info. please check with your wedding coordinator on site).

There are two different locations: We have a gazebofacing the ocean, a bamboo arch
on the beach and our backup location. The location will be selected during meeting with
wedding coordinator.

Yes... the resort offers this service, but it is necessary to request it ahead of time since we
have several weddings performed in the same week. (For the cost please be sure to check
with your wedding coordinator on site).
Can we bring our own CD to be played during the ceremony?
Of course you can bring your own music (walking down the aisle) so the ceremony can
have a special touch.

Do not worry about this; a special course is able to be prepared for them; however we will

the meeting with your wedding coordinator it will be explained how the ceremony works
so you can feel more relaxed.

All Spa services need a previous reservation. Please consult the Spa personnel for rates
