The 48 hour Rehearsal, Wedding and Reception Package from $6800

Everyone has a good night’s rest and wakens early for a light breakfast.  Now it is time to bring out the flowers, make last minute arrangements and dress for the ceremony.  There is music playing.  Guests arrive and are assisted in parking. They begin to take their places for the ceremony.  Suddenly the traditional fanfare is heard, and everyone rises and turns to watch the bride approach the altar... After the ceremony, hugs and kisses, pictures.  Music takes on more of a party mood.  The Bride's bouquet is launched and some lucky girl’s boyfriend goes into shock.  Guests mingle and chat as they begin to be seated for the banquet. There are toasts, elegant food, and of course the cake...  Dancing begins.  The stars are out.  Some of the guests leave, butthe Bridal party and close friends remain. The atmosphere becomes more intimate. The hot tub is working. There is nearly always a campfire. The Bridal party and some close family and friends will party late and stay overnight.  In the morning, breakfast is served to early birds and sleepy heads alike.  There is plenty of time for gathering up your belongings.  Checkout time is 2:00 P.M.
