This is a wedding review only...I will post a full resort review on the message board.
I don't know where to start. The whole week at CN seems like a dream. We had a good sized group travel with us...20 people including the two of us. Small and intimate...just what we wanted. It was the wedding of my dreams and everything was so wonderful. The wedding coordinators, Giselle and Tadean were so helpful...On the Saturday before the wedding my fiance and I met these girls and spent 20mins picking out some things that we wanted...flowers, cake...that stuff. The wedding day was unbelievable...I woke up and started getting ready with my girls...my dad showed up at 1030, the photographer at 1035 and Giselle at 1055...then off to the wedding site at the Beach! Everyone was there waiting...the music played just as I wanted and everything went perfectly. The ceremony was short and sweet!! and the cake and champagne reception after was excellent!!! After the reception we all headed back to the beach for pictures....We had dinner at 7pm for the 20 of us at the Cassava Terrace...and we headed to the Piano Bar for our first dance at 1030!! We stayed there for a while for drinks and more dances with our family and friends...so FUN!!
My fiance and I were so relaxed on our wedding day ...there really is nothing to worry about (not that I was) and you can have whatever you want at this resort. I would love to help anyone...Please send me an email if you want more information... I will post some pics as soon as I figure out how to do it...
By the way, the photographer was Stacey Clarke and she was FANTASTIC....we loved her work!!

Shiny, thanks for the review. I sit glued to this MB daily looking for more information (as if I might miss something)..hahah I was just sitting here thinking gosh I wish someone would post a review it seems like it's been forever. Heck I even read the reviews for the other resorts just to get my fix!!! hahaha Steve and I are getting married May 7th at CN, just the two of us and Stacey Clarke. I can't wait. I'm so glad to hear you had a good time and enjoyed your photo's. We can't wait to get married, meet Stacey and hang out at that awesome resort. I do have one question, what would you recommend we do after our 11 o'clock wedding, the toast, the first dance and trash the dress? What should be plan on doing for the rest of the day? We are going to do the beach dinner on our last night as the night of our wedding is the "beach dinner for the resort. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.....
Congratulations!!!

Thanks...I am suffering from post-vacation deptression I think!! THat place is soooo amazing!
Maybe you could book the Couples Massage that afternoon once you are done with the dress trashing!! And then go back to your room and have a rest (if you know what I mean) then get ready for dinner!! We did things slightly differently because we had a group!

Thanks Shiny!!! I appreciate your suggestions. I bet you are suffering from the terrible post vacation depression. Try booking another trip for next year if that doesn't work grab your photo album and soak up some of that romance again. Good luck
