I didn't know it then, but when I was a young girl dreaming of my wedding, this was the place I dreamt of. From the beginning Regina was so wonderful to work with. She went above and beyond to capture all of my ideas and desires for my wedding day. She made the process of planning my wedding so easy, she was knowledgeable and has impeccable taste. From the linens to the glasses, everything was perfection. When getting ready in the bridal suite, my wedding coordinator Donna (also recommended by Regina) picked up sandwiches, fruits and refreshments for my bridesmaids and I to enjoy while getting ready. She was so helpful, I know this sounds crazy, but because of her and Regina I did not worry about one thing being done on my wedding day. It was just easy. The bridal suite was so gorgeous, it was the perfect way to begin my wedding day. I will never forget how beautiful the grotto looked as I walked down the aisle. All of our friends and family standing, waiting for me to walk down to my future husband. The waterfall made for such a romantic setting, the sound, the trees, the flowers the ambiance was perfection. I had never been happier.

Brent and I are two performers who met onboard a Carnival Cruise Ship, bonded over our love for the arts and instantly became best friends! We traveled the world singing and dancing together, having one adventure after the other until 3 years later he asked me to be his wife in New York City, and I said YES!

[ngg_images gallery_ids="4" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_slideshow"] 2013 was a whirlwind year. Moving from Colorado, I was on a pit stop in Florida on my way to Atlanta for grad school when I met my now husband, Tim. We were engaged five months after meeting, and grad school was called off for us to start our lives together. LIving in Florida permanently was bitter sweet for me. I always envisioned getting married in the Rocky mountains at some rustic getaway, and now I was living in the tropics where beaches seemed to be my only option. After getting engaged I quickly started scouring the online wedding sites, looking to find my dream venue. Initially it seemed like all of the rustic settings were in north Florida that would require a lot of travel and other expenses, until I came upon the Cooper Estate. A quick glimpse at the pictures got me intrigued. I didn't think places like this existed in South Florida. I immediately sent an email with some basic questions, and was impressed by the quickresponse from Regina.

From the moment I stepped out of my car and onto the property, butterflies and pure excitement jolted throughout my entire body. I felt like I was in a movie, the most perfect dream I could have ever dreamt. The lush trees were swaying with their leaves lightly rustling in the air as oodles of people calmly ran around working diligently to make my perfect day a reality. I couldn’t believe this was all for me. It’s like your birthday party day when you were little, but 1,000 times better.

[ngg_images gallery_ids="5" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_slideshow"] To say that I have “favorite moments” is pretty hard to pin...because really, the whole night was my favorite. But there are certain things that just made my smile even bigger. You know, it’s the little things that usually get you..and most of these For example, finally arriving to the Cooper Estate. My nerves kicked in high gear, I couldn’t stop pacing....while rushing to get ready. I was nervous, but out of pure excitement. My arrival meant two things. 1) This is so real right now, I can’t believe I’m here. 2) I’m about to see Adrian in just a few minutes...IMSOEXCITEDOHMYGOODNESS.

[ngg_images gallery_ids="8" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_slideshow"] My husband (how fun is that to say!) and I have been dating since we were 15 years old. I knew that we were meant to be together, forever. When Rafy proposed to me I knew right away that we were going to have a stunning wedding. After looking around the Redlands and Miami area for the perfect place to make our lifelong commitment, I felt very disappointed because nothing matched our vision that was in our price range. My cousin recommended that we stop in and visit The Cooper Estate. I was hesitant because I saw their ads in all of The Knot magazines that I have picked up at every grocery store in town. I had a feeling it was going to be out of our price range and I would be heart broken. Once she convinced me to “just stop in” I fell in love. My search was over. Taken aback by the breath taking scenery, the cozy cottage and the professional help of Mrs. Regina, I got on the phone with my parents and told them they would love this place! We made an appointment with Regina again and my parents were sold. Planning the wedding was a breeze because Regina and her staff are the best at what they do. I couldn't have asked for an easier wedding planning process.
