to have a one hour cocktail reception including all of the above, there is the "Barefoot Wedding."

If you really want to go all out, you can choose the "Whole Nine Yards" comprising all of the elements of the "Barefoot Wedding" plus a jumbo cocktail shrimp display, imported and domestic cheeses, premium open bar for three additional hours, elegant buffet style or three-course dinner for 50 persons, and a personalized ice sculpture.

If none of the above suits your fancy, The Colony will gladly tailor a ceremony and reception to match your yearnings. Some couples have opted to be flown into the ceremony by helicopter. Others have chosen to cruise in by boat. As long as it is something not impossible, The Colony's super staff will oblige.

Food and drink always make for a powerful sense of memories. The Colony can set the perfect stage for the ultimate in a gourmet adventure with their "Colony Chef's Table - A Personal Gourmet Experience." This is a grand tasting menu prepared with an incredible selection of wines that all takes place in the Chef's table located in the middle of The Colony's Restaurants' shiny state-of-the-art kitchen. In addition, and to add some excitement, The Colony Chef joins the diners at the table at the top of each course to explain the pairings of ingredients and wine matches.

I guess the ultimate in narcissistic indulgence is having one of The Colony's Chefs prepare a special candlelight dinner with all of the trimmings in the comfort of your own honeymoon beach cottage, while gazing at an unbelievable sunset. Hey, why not go for it!

As for fun for your guests, Tennis magazine, for the past eight consecutive years, has recognized The Colony as the number one tennis resort in the nation. If you or your guests are not into tennis, the resort's many facilities provide a spectacular playground of other possibilities. The long list includes water sports activities, bicycles, snorkeling, sailing, swimming, state-of-the-art fitness center, or just sunbathing and people watching on the beach. There is also the health spa, where men and women enjoy separate facilities equipped with whirlpools, saunas, steam rooms, showers, lockers and massage rooms.

Between the many memorable festivities you may have organized and the resort's facilities, your guests may choose to explore Sarasota's cultural community, where they can enjoy dining, theatre, and the many charming shops located on St. Armands Circle.

However, wherever the day may take them, at the end, your guests will without doubt be delighted to return to the comfortable suites of The Colony, resembling a home away from home. Perhaps, they may even encounter vacation ghosts of a bygone era!
