Thank you for choosing us!
•
The first step for a successful event is choosing and securing your date. In order
to verify availability for a specific date and venue you should fill out the
information form and send it by email to Mrs. Florencio
•
Once we have made a tentative booking for your wedding (taking into
consideration your preference date, type of ceremony, package and location)
we would then require a deposit of 35% on your chosen package in order to fully
confirm the date.
•
As soon as we receive the corresponding amount we will send you a written
confirmation for your date. If you have opted for our Free Meliá Wedding
Package you should send us the confirmation of your reservation with 5 or more
nights in a higher category room (The Level), in order to confirm the free
wedding package.
•
Envisioning and planning your event: After the date has been confirmed you will
be able to book rooms and send out your invitations so that your guests have
enough time to make arrangements. We will assign a Romance Specialist who
will assist you with the entire planning. Your Romance Specialist will be more than
glad to suggest some ideas to make your day memorable! This period is also the
time where we will ask for some information in order to speed up some
processes. (Documentation for civil weddings, religious wedding requeriments,
rooming list of your guests, etc.)

Renewal
¨Yes, I do – still and again!¨
A wedding that was not possible some years ago.
Children and friends who could not be a part of this
special moment. Trends and styles that meet your
requirements just now. Because of all the
nervousness and bureaucracy it was not possible to
enjoy your wedding the way you dreamed about.
Time just rushed by.
There are countless reasons to celebrate a wedding
not only once in a lifetime!
Celebrities all around the world show it – and they
are right. After a few years there is nothing greater
and lovelier than saying yes to your partner again,
celebrate your silver or gold wedding anniversary
with a renewal of your marriage vow. It just proves:
“Yes, I – still – do”.
With the closest family or with all your friends we welcome you and your guests and we
accompany you on the second most beautiful day in your life.
For example with an independent theologian under the blue sky in the promenade.
Everything will be planed the way you have always imagined.
Lay your ceremony in our hands and concentrate only on the most important thing- on
one another!
Every year we celebrate our birthdays
Why not also the most beautiful day of our life?

Tips & tricks
There is a huge variety of websites about weddings, and the question ¨when do I have
to organize what?¨ or ¨what do I have to think of prior to the ceremony?¨ Our
experienced wedding planner helps you to arrange all this chaos. In spite of
everything, here are some advices to be well prepared:
1.) Write a wish list to avoid receiving the same present twice!
2.) Think of the vaccinations you might need for your honeymoon!
3.) Wear your shoes at home to avoid blisters!
4.) Don’t panic! Keep calm and enjoy. At the end, it is YOUR day!

our passion! How about live-entertainment during your reception? With great
attention to every detail we also love to create an individual program for the

SUGGESTED PROTOCOL FOR YOUR WEDDING CEREMONY ENTRANCE
Guests & parents:
All the guests have to arrive to the ceremony location 15 minutes before the start time;
the first seats are going to be for the first family members like mother,
father, grandparents, brothers and sisters.
The parents of the bride sit in the first row on the right hand side facing the altar while
the parents of the groom sit in the first row on the left hand side.
Groom:
The groom arrives to the ceremony location before the bride, he will take his position
near the altar in the left side, and his best man will stand next to him.
Bridal Entourage:
In a row all are going to be organized from the smallest to the tallest or in the order the
couple has previously decided.
The flower girl and the ring bearer are going to be the first ones. The Bridesmaids and
Groomsmen walk together in couples. Then we have the Maid of Honor. The distance
between each other are 3 steps, and they will begin walking from and when the
“Romance specialist” inform them. The bridesmaids are going to stand up next to the
bride and the groomsmen next to the groom. The Maid of Honor and Best man are
going to be the closest to the bride and groom respectively.
Bride:
The bride will walk with her father, mother, or with a special guest designated by the
bride at her left side. When they arrive to the altar, he/she shakes hands/greet the
groom, will give the bride a kiss and take her hand and give it to the groom, then
he/she can take a seat in the bride’s side.
Couple together:
As soon as the groom receives the hand of the bride they will walk together and stand
up in front of the Main table, the bride will be at the right side and the groom at the left
side during the whole ceremony; they can take their hands together and face each
other.
Say “I do” with passion!
