A while back Brett and his team of videographers were in Connecticut to shoot Maria & Andre’s wedding.  It was so unique I asked if we could share it with our readers.  So without further ado, here’s the link to the incredible video & Brett’s description of the wedding:

“Breaking with tradition, the dinner was held first because of the couple’s unique ceremony plan. 

The ceremony aisle was a path through the forest leading to a pond & guests lined the aisle holding candles.  The couple boarded a “floating dock” that carried them to the center of the pond & the guests surrounded the pond.  Although the lighting was very dim, it was a stirring setting. 

After a fireworks display, the guests entered a lavish tent for an evening of dancing and fun.”

Mark Kingsdorf of The Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants sent over a beautiful Cancun wedding he coordinated recently.  The event took place at the Moon Palace Golf Resort & Spa, an all inclusive resort with a Catholic Chapel on the property and a local priest to perform the ceremeony; something that was very important to Michelle.  She and Tony also wanted a resort that offerred lots of amenities to their 125 guests in attendance.  And as you can see, the views from the chapel are gorgeous!

For Michelle, photography was very important, so she chose to hire Laura & Paul Eaton of Laura Eaton Photography, as well as, Drew DeMarinis of Tangerine Media Group for video. 

Michelle & Tony wanted to keep things simple, so the chose to go with the floral services offered by the resort.  Mark and his team designed program fans & floral cones for petal tossing and even brought in perfectly place shells for that warm, beach feel.

I love the colors of the cake and decor! 

Mark’s advice to a bride planning a destination wedding?  Always try to hire a coordinator but if you choose to diy he has three excellent points.  One is make a site visit, don’t depend on websites and pictures alone.  Two is get everything in writing and even do communications initially via email so they have time to review your requests, especially if you’re dealing with language barriers.  And three it’s always, always try to fly nonstop if possible.  You don’t want the stress of multiple connections if you can avoid it.

Congrats to Tony & Michelle!  Thank you Mark for sharing this beautiful Cancun wedding.  You and your team great planning an event for 125 guests. 

I’ve had the pleasure of working with the CVP Experience team and I have nothing but praise for them all!  Brett Culp, the owner, has managed to assemble a fantastic group of creative and talented people who also happen to all be extremely nice people.  And I’m not the only one raving over the incredible wedding and event films.  Sylvia Weinstock and David Tutera agree they do an amazing job capturing the “mood and elegance of an event”. 

CVP is based in the Tampa, FL area but travel internationally for events and weddings.  Most of their brides are originally from Florida and choose to have their event in the states over other tropical locations because of the ease and convenience for guests, as well as, all the exotic venues Florida has to offer.  

When I asked Brett his favorite venues for events, he honestly said there are so many incredible locations to choose between but his first three recommendations were always The Ritz Carlton Resorts: South Beach Miami for chic, luxury; Grand Lakes in Orlando for convenience and service; The Naples Ritz for elegance and beautiful beaches. 

Brett and his team work closely with their clients, providing personalized service.  Their goal is “to create a movie using our artistic approach to express their wedding day vision.”  I’d say they’ve achieved it.  To see more of what they can provide for your wedding day, visit their site The CVP Experience.
