Congrats! It's definitely feeling down to the wire for us May brides! 🙂 (We are May 12th on NCL :D) 

 

 We're having like 11-13 people sailing with us (so not oto many) and something like 25 people coming to just the ceremony. For my family, it's a tiny wedding, LOL but it still feels pretty big and there are so many things to figure out! 

 

We ended up hiring a planner to coordinate a welcome dinner (instead of a rehersal dinner; the night before the wedding, inviting everyone - mostly as a chance to spend more time with our non-sailing guests and family) and she's been amazing- found the venue based on a pretty vague description of what we wanted, and is organizing hair/makeup for us before we board, too. 

 

I will say that although I knew going in they weren't super responsive, I've found Royal Ocean Events to be a real pain to communicate with. 

Congrats! Hiring a wedding coordinator was smart! 

Right now I am kind of wishing I had gone that route. So far carnival has been very helpful, I have not done much with their vendor (The Wedding Experience) so remains to be seen if they will be difficult. I am going to force myself to start reviewing that paperwork today after I put together the printed wedding invitations I just got in the mail yesterday : )

Hey Party People!!

 

2019 bride here too! Getting married 2/18/19 on the Liberty of the Seas! Have about 20 people booked so far!

Hi & Congratulations! How did it go? I am getting married on the Liberty on 5/17/19. Any advice to pass along? Thanks! 

Hi all, 

We are getting married on the Carnival Liberty May 17th, 2019 in Port Canaveral! We booked back in October and now that my countdown is below 3 months I am trying to actually get all of the details together. We send out a virtual save the date in October and it looks like we will actually have 30 or more friends and family sailing with us. 

Now that the wedding is under 3 months away I am trying to kick it into high gear and figure out all of the details. Finally ordered actual paper invitations, need to figure out who does make up and hair in the Port Canaveral area. 

Trying not to stress. I have such a small list I know it shouldn't stress me out much! I cannot imagine how anyone manages to plan a big in town wedding : )
