Casa Ybel Resort Beachfront Wedding

Casa Ybel Resort would like to congratulate it's newest happily married couple,

Mr. and Mrs. Herdrich!

Meagan and Jamison were married on Saturday, March 7th on the lawn overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, here at our beautiful resort. We were blessed with another amazing day, with temperatures in the high 70's, a light breeze, and an amazing sunset!

After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed cocktails on the outdoor terrace of our Thistle Lodge Beachfront Restaurant. They watched the sunset while being entertained by a fantastic steel drum player, and munching our famous Coconut Shrimp, along with Beef Satay, and Bacon Wrapped Scallops.

The guests then made their way up our grand staircase, to the Waterfront Room on the second floor of the Thistle Lodge for dinner and dancing!

This room is an intimate space, adorned with Victorian and old world Florida style decor, and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the water. The room was decorated beautifully, with white linen and chair covers.

The centerpieces were tall cylinders, filled with cymbidum orchids and floating candles. The cylinders were surrounded by votive candles, and natural seashells, all placed atop a lovely sea foam green chiffon, which was made to match the bridesmaids dresses. The amazing centerpieces, and bouquets were done by the talented Sue Bain of Signature Floral and Gifts! (http://www.signature-florals.com/index.html).

The bride and groom entered and danced a heartwarming first dance to a lovley acoustic version of "At Last", sung by the very talented Maid of Honor, who accompanied herself on the guitar.

Everyone then enjoyed an amazing plated meal, prepared by our fantastic Executive Chef John Wolff, and Executive Banquet Chef Jamie Crisp. The guests had their choice of a New York Strip with frizzled onions and a red wine demi glace, or Seared Snapper with Leeks and a Lump Crab Ragout.

The Chef's even prepared a wonderful vegetarian pasta dish as a special request for one of the bridesmaids!

The cake, prepared by Masons Bakery, our exclusive baker, was a three tiered delight, with design meant to look like the wedding invitations.

After dinner, the guests danced the night away with the help of a wonderful DJ, and a bongo player to accompany the dance music.

It was a magical evening, full of great moments, wonderful food and views, and a party this family will not forget anytime soon!

Congratulations again to the new Mr. and Mrs. Herdrich!
