We ended up choosing this location for two primary reasons. We both really liked the Bilmar Resort but their sales person who came highly recommended via web feedback was leaving. When we visited the last time, they had a new staff member who had been there about 6 weeks but didn't seem to know what was going on. Also, I had assumed she would also serve as a coordinator during the day of the event in the sense she would assure that the ceremony and reception would be set up the way Corey and I wanted. She said she wouldn't be there but a catering manager would be the point person.
The other reason we didn't choose Bilmar was because they didn't provide us a rain plan. The ceremony and the reception was outside. Part of the reception area was on a concrete deck right next to the sand. Typically, people will tent this area for bad weather but I was concerned about a hurricane or more severe weather. The Bilmar has a nice ballroom and I thought it was be held for a back up plan but she told that more than likely another event would be going on at the same time as my reception.
Sirata is beautiful and we are very happy with our venue. Now that the place is secured my anxiety isn't as bad.
Next steps: finding a dress; finding a photographer
