Roseful's reviews

My only complaint is that we did not have enough time to enjoy the hotel and the grounds! We stayed here on our wedding night. The property is gorgous. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the pool and Estero Bay. We were able to go back and celebrate our anniversary dinner at one of the restaurants, so the ability to relive the memories is so special!

The boat was the perfect size and the sunset cruise was exactly what we wanted for our RD, except the boat arrived nearly an hour late. They did make it up to us, but we had a lot of guests standing around the docks for way too long. Still, it was the best equipment at the closest dock. It’s worth it.

If you don’t have a wedding planner, and still don’t have to worry about a thing, this is the perfect location. The staff is professional and experienced. The facility is a wonderful, open space on the Estero Bay and we took all of our post wedding pictures there. We had the cocktail reception on an outdoor patio overlooking the sunset on the water and walked just inside for the giant room arranged exactly as discussed. The food was top notch. I wish they had been more flexible on price, but LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

Photography was one of the most important things to me. I have known Grace and her husband Preston since college. They are the perfect team with incredible professional experience in national and international publications. They have an artistic, and yet journalistic perspective that told the story of the entire day. They are the standard. And they will travel to you.

We choose our bands faster than we could have imagined. This was the only location we visited. We had received a recommendation to go there and now several of our friends have followed suit. They have hundreds of options at your fingertips and their follow-up is impeccable. We receive birthday and anniversary cards from them now. You can trust them. They also cleaned all of my jewelry and my mother’s rings for free before the wedding and encourage me to stop in and have the band cleaned periodically.

O.D. and I have become friends and I have now been a client for years…That is how well he did for my modern, yet soft up-do. They also did appointments for my sister, mother, mother-in-law and niece. The team came in early and on their day off to make it all happen. Also, O.D. offered to come to the church and reception site if I needed to be “fixed”.

This is a one-stop bridal beauty shop in Bonita. Lisette (the makeup artist) and I had a practice session a couple of weeks before the wedding and we made adjustments on the day of. She was so accommodating and her calming personality was helpful for my nerves!

This newly renovated hotel is full of suites of many sizes, that worked perfectly for fitting out of town families into one space. The furnishings and colors were modern and just happened to match our wedding: Mediterranean blue. They gave us summer prices in the middle of season and even included a bridal suite for free, where I stayed the night before the wedding with my mom. It got us out of the craziness of house guests, had a full kitchen for the morning party with the girls and plenty of room for getting ready. Also, it was down the street from my stylist and the reception.

I’d tell you to look for the purple building in the middle of no where, but she has moved to a new plaza a the corner of Broadway and US 41 in Estero. Thea is the owner and she met with us personally to show us picture collections of her work. Her arrangements are creative and the quality and price would be hard to beat. We were under $1000 for flowers, which around here is almost unheard of unless you do it yourself. She took all of our ideas ( I brought her a page with cut outs of things I liked) and completed the vision with beautiful colors and ribbon. Make her your first stop.

The coordinator was accommodating and attentive. However, we did not get our DJ selection and for the amount of times we met with the coordinator, it should have gone more smoothly. The DJ introduced me by the wrong name and had to be prompted to stay on schedule… the music was good (what we requested) and it was fun, but I wouldn’t recommend them.

Unfortunately for all of us, she moved to another state. She is a beautiful Irish soloist, who played and sang throughout the ceremony. It was a mix of her original compositions and traditional Irish classical music. Amazing.
