Marva Munroe made my dream Bahamas Wedding become a
reality. I started planning my wedding about a year before the wedding
date. She was extremely attentive and
approachable. Not only answering my "neurotic" emails in a very
timely manner but she also put my New Yorker OCD qualities to rest by assuring
me she had everything under control.
She arranged a full 3 day weekend wedding
celebration for us and our guests, meet and greet party, rehearsal dinner and
our wedding. The meet and greet was held at the Sabor Pool at Pelican Bay
where our guests enjoyed fresh Bahamian refreshments while swimming and
listening to music.
The rehearsal dinner was held at Taino by the
Sea, where our 115 guests boarded a ferry to the location, ate authentic
Bahamian Barbecue and danced the night away with a surprise appearance of a
fire dancer. It shocked our guests and they have never seen anything like
it.
Our April 14, 2012 wedding was held on a
private beach. The ceremony was one of our favorite parts of the
wedding.
Even with 115 guests, Marva still managed to
make it feel very intimate and personal. The reception was held at
the Canal House at the Pelican Bay Hotel. The food was exquisite.
True story, I still have dreams of our salad! It was that good!
The room was filled with fresh Hydrangeas and
Roses, with votive candles everywhere. It jaw dropping. The Junkanoo band
jump started the party and we danced the night away till the wee hours of the
morning. Guests were also treated to specially made whisky from
Ryan’s birth place in Iowa and rum from Crystal’s birth place, Grenada.
I cannot tell you how many times I've heard it
was the BEST WEDDING ever! Pelican Bay Hotel is a star rated hotel, the customer
service is number 1 and they really put their guests first! The whole weekend
was magical! I cannot thank Marva enough!
