Rocky’s 7th Anniversary Celebration
Dear [[firstname]],

Rocky's 7 Years ToastGreat Fireworks

Hello and welcome to the September edition of the Rocky’s newsletter. It’s been a busy month and we have lots to report to you on, so thank you for staying tuned to our newsletters.

Monks Arrive at Rocky'sMonks BlessingAugust 19th marked the 7th Anniversary of Rocky’s Resort, quite a milestone for us, and one which we celebrated in typical Rocky’s style. In the morning, after a blessing at each of our spirit houses, a procession of nine monks arrived at the resort. The monks proceeded down the pathway with our staff lined up on either side to give offerings to each monk.

Thai DanceFollowing the parade, the monks proceeded to our banquet room where we were treated to a blessing and chanting. The monks make a magical sound when they do their chanting, which they also do for our Buddhist Weddings. It’s really something special to see.

After the monk’s blessing, we were given a show by a local troupe of traditional Thai dancers using the delicate hand gestures and costumes which characterize this centuries old tradition.

Cake CuttingIn the evening, our chef prepared an outstanding set menu dinner with wine selected by our Dipl. Sommelier, Florian. The evening was a great success, and the fireworks at the end were outstanding. It’s hard for us to believe it’s been seven years. It seems at once a moment and a lifetime. We have really come a long way from our origins!

Also there are some exciting events happening, great promotions on at the moment, and some wonderful feedback from our guests, so keep reading. Have a wonderful September and hope to see you at Rocky’s soon.

Kind Regards,

Erik Larsen
Director

WEDDING REVIEWS

We had a beautiful wedding where every detail was taken care of! I had many specific requests and Rio, the event coordinator, did everything to meet my needs. It was an unforgettable experience for everyone and the most beautiful wedding I could have imagined. Rocky’s is willing to do every detail for you if you’re planning from abroad, but also willing to allow you to add any special touches to make your wedding uniquely yours. I highly recommend Rocky’s Resort, it will fulfill all your wedding dreams and goes above and beyond to make your day spectacular. I also must add that the food was amazing and matched the beauty of the venue perfectly. This IS your ideal wedding location.
