The most beautiful experience

I wrote "experience" rather than just "wedding day", because from the moment we booked the Carlyon Bay hotel, we embarked on the most amazing process with the best people!
The hotel staff are the kindest, most caring and the MOST helpful people you could ever imagine wanting for your wedding day and wedding planning process.
They make sure that the whole process is stress free and manage to take away any worries you may have!
Everything from the scenery and the food to the staff was incredible.
As the bride, I got a free spa treatment with booking the hotel. I can't explain how amazing that massage was the day before the wedding.
Also, having the duchess suite the night before the wedding and being able to get ready there the morning of, was absolutely fabulous. The view you get from that room, the balcony, as well as the incredible room service just was the cherry on top!
I still can't believe I got married outside, on a beautiful cliff, with the most beautiful ocean view (not to mention the private beach we got to take photos on!)
Our guests are still talking about the day!
