Diplomat Beach Resort
Charlie Phynes Garcia
The Diplomat and the staff was very great in helping me plan my proposal. Charlotte was the one who got everything organized and made sure everything went as planned. Charlotte responded to all questions very quickly and made our proposal a dream come true to remember and cherish forever. Without her help it would not have turned out as beautiful as it did. Special thanks to Charlotte...who made our special day so memorable.
