I cannot recommend this beautiful resort enough for your wedding or event/weekend stay needs! This was our dream wedding venue and we couldn t be more thrilled with our experience throughout the entire planning process or more thrilled with our wedding weekend! From the first time we stepped foot on the property while we were touring venues, we instantly fell in love. They greeted us with a glass of champagne and everyone we met was full of friendly smiles. The property s beauty speaks for itself with lush greenery and flowers and fireplaces lit in the fall (which is when our wedding was). We got our contract together and went to planning! We worked with Emily who is so kind and professional and I can t praise her enough! The tasting was such a memorable experience. My parents flew in town for it and we had the best time. We tasted the wines, the hor de vours, salads, entrees and cakes and the food was absolutely delicious it was so hard to choose. Not only was the food delicious, the serving sizes are so large, you know your wedding guests will not leave hungry!

The wedding weekend itself was a dream. All the guests who checked into their rooms were greeted with champagne and our wedding went off without a hitch all thanks to the amazing staff at the Royal Palms. Everything provided by the Royal Palms was setup quickly and perfectly of course! They also provided my groom and I a shadow who stayed with us after the ceremony throughout the night to make sure we had water, a cocktail, if we needed food, etc which was so amazing! She was so fantastic. The catering was so delicious just like the tasting and serving sizes so large. Everyone raved about the food! The catering staff was amazing and always made sure everyone had water and wine and no one ever went without! I wanted my guests to feel spoiled and the Royal Palms spoiled us all! I also have to mention the venue itself is so beautiful that my photographer and videographer LOVED it because you can t take a bad picture there. Everywhere is a gorgeous backdrop and it s the best memories of our life.

When we went back to our honeymoon suite, they surprised us with a bottle of champagne and a card from the resort staff congratulating us and it was so sweet! We popped it open and enjoyed it. It was personally a great memory popping it open in my wedding dress with my new husband in our gorgeous honeymoon suite.

We also treated ourselves room service breakfast then a spa day at the Alvadore Spa the morning after our wedding and it was the best spa experience EVER! I truly can t recommend the Citrus Ritual enough! We will be back.

The Royal Palms truly holds such a special place in our hearts now. Our wedding was magical and a real-life fairytale thanks the amazing staff and team at the resort and we look forward to celebrating our anniversaries there and many date nights and cocktail hours at T Cooks ahead! Royal Palms, thank you for the best time of our life! FIVE STARS, FIVE DIAMONDS, FIVE EVERYTHING!!!!
