New Spain -Reception

My Reception:

Las Ventanas @ Disney's Coronado Springs Resort is where I'd like to have my reception. I think the rooms are beautiful and fit perfectly with my vision of a New Spain wedding. The palette in these rooms are my favorite because the colors are understated and I feel like you can add more to it, instead of trying to take some of the theming away to fit my needs.

I'm not thrilled with the mustard color linens and it sounds like there would be a charge to remove them. I'm thinking if the tables are in decent shape I'd like to do without any table cloth so that the dark wood color isn't lost.

I don't want flower centerpieces just candles. I still need to find something that looks exactly how I want it to and when(if) I do I'll post it.

Rix Lounge

I love the candle holder on the left of this picture and the marble table! Since this is a lounge, there is a lot of informal seating which would be great if the cocktail hour needs to move inside.

New Spain -Cocktail Hour

My Cocktail Hour:

Depending on how the ceremony space is divided I would either have the cocktail hour in the same space as the ceremony or move the guests into the reception area early. I would of course have to a mariachi band playing during the cocktail hour and continuing into the dinner part of the reception.

This is a picture of the Mariachi Cobre that plays daily at the Mexico Pavilion at Epcot. Do I think I'd actually get them? No, but it would be really cool! I'm sure there are plenty of similar bands that would work for my wedding.

At a cocktail hour everyone wants to start drinking right? Well the one drink I would have to have included is a frozen strawberry margarita:

wow, I really want one now... it's 4 o'clock somewhere right? I'd also include some virgin strawberry daiquiris (for the kids and non-alcholics) since I had my first at one at Disney's Vero Beach Resort.

New Spain -Ceremony

My Ceremony:

I'm really in love with outdoor ceremonies and this seems to be one of the few outdoor spaces that the Coronado Springs Resort uses for meetings (I had to check the meetings and conventions page) and since it wouldn't be a big wedding, I think this space would fit our needs perfectly.

These are two locations on the Coronado Springs property where I'd love to take pictures. The first is in the main reception area and the second is on the property between guest room buildings:
