Rosen Plaza Offering Wedding Services for Budgeting Brides and Grooms
Even during trying economic times, your dream "I do" can still become a reality. Marrying today's necessity for frugality with the timeless finesse of an elegant event, Rosen Plaza in Orlando, Florida, is offering both complimentary planning services for budget-wary brides and grooms and cash-conscious tips for tying the knot.
Annually, more than 120 couples have embarked on their happily ever after at Rosen Plaza, where two on-site wedding/catering managers walk lovebirds through each step of their walk down the aisle, from selecting which dance tunes your deejay should spin to what culinary treats should make up your reception repast.
Couples have a number of wedding packages from which to choose, ranging from the Elite to the Premier, each of which offers complimentary bridal accommodations and discounted room rates for guests among their many amenities.
Your love is one of a kind, and your wedding can be as well with a themed ceremony. In the past, Rosen Plaza's coordinators have played the role of both genie, granting one bride's wish to wed in an Aladdin-inspired wedding, as well as that of fairy godparent, making one lucky lady's fantasy of a Cinderella-style ceremony come true.
Knowing that penny-pinching while pledging your devotion does not have to mean missing out on the magic of your special day, the hotel's wedding managers can offer practical advice for vows that will wow, such as a recommendation to opt for plants over flowers for the ceremony, which can be given to guests as a perennial remembrance of the happy occasion while keeping your wallet lined with green in the process.
