WEDDING DAY ITINERARY
If the couple or the companions need hairdresser, makeup, manicure- pedicure or
more, the appointment can be arranged to visit them at their room.
The groom will have to be 15 minutes before the wedding time, while the
coordinator will go to the brides room when everything is ready and go together
to the wedding location.
The bride can be accompanied by the coordinator if she does not have friends or
family when she walks up the location.
The judge will conduct the ceremony in English or spanish, it is not really a
religious speech, the couple may be asked if they want to say a few words to
each other. Bride and Groom will need to sign and thumb print 6 copies of the
Wedding Certificate and the witnesses will be asked to sign to (4 witness are
required legally, they can be friends, other holiday makers or hotel staff).
