Hi Beverly!
Sorry its taken me so long to get back to you- we've been out of town. Congratulations to your family! We absolutely LOVED our wedding at RHP, and many of the guests have said that they want to take a trip there every year for our anniversary! lol Our florist was actually recommended by Frank- her name is Tina, from Lavish Floral (775) [phone number hidden (log in to view)]. She did a great job and was very knowledgable, although I felt that our centerpieces were a bit smaller than I had anticipated. That was actually the one part that I was a bit disappointed in. We didn't have a cake, instead we had a Ben & Jerry's ice cream cart come and make sundaes for everyone! :) Some other things to consider: there was enough parking, although many guests wanted to take taxis after the reception. Frank was great and called taxis for them, but the drivers were really awful (and rude during the trip, apparently) and took forever to get there- if you think that might be an issue, you may want to call taxis ahead of time to give them a heads up. For decorations, we put fabric on the arch that looked beautiful, and we bought fans for the guests (which they ended up using to block the sun!). Also, we put baskets in the bathrooms with small convenience items for our guests (like lotions, toothpicks, hairspray, etc.) and someone who was leaving the beach stole the baskets! So be wary of things that you put out before your guests are actually there (we had Frank's wife put them out during the ceremony, but apparently we should have waited a bit longer!). That's all I can think of now, but please let me know if you have any other questions! I can also give you a link to our pictures on shutterfly so you can get a better idea if you're interested. Have a great day! Kayla Montoay

Hi Kayla,
Thank you so much for all your excellent suggestions. Your wedding sounds just Beautiful and what a clever ideal ice cream cart! You made it lovely & fun for everyone! I just called Tina but she is out of town that weekend. Frank mentioned "Blu Bus" to pick-up/drop-off quest now after hearing how your family was treated, I will call to check that out. Amanda's (dtr) wedding is 4:30pm/10:30pm I wanted to have fireworks, but no can do. So, what do you think if I have those outdoor bamboo tiki torches V shape towards the dock or water or? Basket's in restrooms perfect. You should do event planning for people like me! I would love to see your wedding pictures of the new Mr. & Mrs. :-)
Fondly, Beverly
