  • “We had a vow renewal and Lizbeth was great at communicating with us to ensure it went smoothly. While there Teo was like my right-hand man. Any and everything I could think of he was available to help. Robert was our go-to for information on excursions. Smitty made us feel like we were the only guests because anytime we needed to go somewhere he was there. I could keep going, but we will definitely be staying here again!”

  • “Our stay at Hopkins Bay was an incredible experience. Planning a wedding is such an overwhelming time, but with the assistance of Lizbeth C. all of our dreams came true. From planning the smallest of details to large ones, like a 15-person wedding party excursion - Lizbeth was on the ball. Lizbeth went above and beyond for us and our family. Not only did my husband and I know we could rely on her, but so did ALL of my loved ones.”

  • “Liz has an amazing talent for designing/planning weddings, I knew I could trust all my ideas to come to life with her help. We were so thankful for her kindness and compassion during the whole process too.”
