An Offbeat Activity for Your Destination Wedding Guests: Try a Ghost Walk

Monday, October 29th, 2012
St. Simons Lighthouse

Haunted Lighthouses in the US

‘Tis the season for all things spooky and scary right about now.  And let’s face it, planning any wedding can sometimes generate a few shades of the macabre.  Why not face the demons head on and schedule a “Ghost Walk of St. Simons” tour one enchanted evening with your resort wedding guests?  After all, Coastal Living ranks the St. Simons lighthouse as one of the Top Ten Haunted Lighthouses in the US.  You’ll walk in the footsteps of the past, learn a little local history……..and it’s dog- and kid-friendly.   Your guests will love it – and you for daring to diverge from the beaten path.  Then, the next day as you lounge on the beach or in one of the King and Prince’s six swimming pools, you might just feel a little more connected to the sights and sounds of this very special beach wedding resort.

The Latest Thing in Weddings

Friday, September 28th, 2012

Oceanfront destination wedding
What’s the latest trend in weddings?  The oldest things in the world:  simplicity, family, and friends.  Gone are the days when bride and groom spent their wedding day isolated from others, like figures on a wedding cake.  Regardless of their potential to spend, couples today are looking to connect with others rather than trying to impress them.

And, of course, the perfect venue for elegance and simplicity is a Georgia beach wedding at the King and Prince Resort.  There you can spend hours overlooking the Atlantic, or explore the community that is the island itself.  You’re not in a faceless “all-inclusive” golden cage, but rather surrounded by history and interests at all levels, from sports to history to spa.

If I had it to do all over again, I’d be here.  Hmmmmm maybe 25th anniversary coming up?  Save the date……………

Nancy Krabill at Taste of Glynn

Plan your St. Simons Island wedding at the King and Prince Resort, and begin your own love affair with this place that will call you home time and time again.   Talk to visitors and you’ll hear the mantra, steady as the sea breezes playing on the coast:  ”I’ve been coming here for years,” “My parents honeymooned here and now it’s my turn,”  “We came as wedding guests and stayed on for the rest of the week…”

I’m Nancy Krabill, a local with my own trove of King and Prince memories, but more about that later. For the next few weeks, I’ll be sending you real-time blasts that only an insider can share with brides-to-be considering their all-important wedding resort venue.  After all, the destination itself is a key star in your wedding event.  You’ll want one that needs no rehearsal: not just another pretty backdrop but one with a real sense of place, time and culture.

If this beach in Georgia sounds just peachy to you, come back here for a visit as we explore the history and charm not only of the resort, but also of its surroundings, cuisine, local characters, outdoor activities, and of course, shopping opportunities.

Warmest regards – Nancy

A Morning Walk on The Beach

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012

I found this great article and photos on a news site this morning and thought I would share;

This Morning I grabbed a cup of coffee and headed to the beach in front of the King and Prince Beach Resort.  It was very cloudy and drizzling a little, while I was watching the lighting off in the distance.   As the drizzle stopped, with breaks in the clouds the light got real nice for taking pictures of the day dawning and people gathering on the beach to start their day.  I have been coming to the beach on St Simons for the last 3 months now, and have found everyone to be very enjoyable to speak with.  One of the things I have noticed is there is a large piece of drift wood on the beach where people leave memories of loved ones who have passed on from this life.   In February it was covered in hearts & cards.   In March it was adorned for Easter remembrances.  Now in mid April the memorial is covered in blessings for loved ones with flags, peace signs, sand dollars with poems & blessings.  Their were several folks gathered this morning, placing remembrances of their loved ones upon the memorial.  It was a very special moment in which to start such a beautiful day, to remember those gone and the great blessings bestowed upon us.
