The pier is located oceanside to the far right of the main pool area. 

Please be seated by 5:20PM.  

We plan to start promptly at 5:30PM.

The ceremony should run approx. 30 minutes.

Bling! has a bar inside that serves the regular resort drinks. 

If you have worked up an appetite from dancing, you can find late night food at the AquaMarina Bar & Grill (open until 2:00 AM)

After sleeping in from a fun night of partying join us at the middle pool for our Hangover Pool Party! 

Drop by anytime to drink, relax, float, and play!

We will meet up at the Emerald Cove Pool which is to the right of the lobby area in the middle of the buildings. This pool has a volley ball net and swim up bar. 

Our plan is to spend the afternoon at the pool.

Wear your swimsuit, cover up  and/or beachy clothes

The pool has a swim up bar for drinks or visit the nearby lobby area bar if you prefer to stay dry. 

Get some lunch or a snack from the Coral Cafe, jerk chicken hut on the beach or AquaMarina Bar & Grill.
