Carrie Underwood had a spa at her wedding.
The 27-year-old singer, who tied the knot with ice hockey player Mike Fisher in a lavish ceremony on Saturday, July 10, wanted all her 200 guests at the Ritz Carlton Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, Georgia, to feel comfortable before the ceremony and so ensured all the hotel’s relaxation facilities, including a peaceful reading room, a pool and a manicurist, were available for them to use.
A source said, “Carrie really wanted to make sure that her guests had a great time and were pampered while they were here.”
Carrie – who wore a Chantilly lace Monique Lhuillier gown – and Mike, 30, also ensured their menu appealed to all their guests, with catering having a “southern flavour”.
One waiter at the bash revealed, “The wedding was gorgeous. The food had a Southern flavour and there were delicious cupcakes.
“There was a lot of eating and a lot of drinking. It was a big party!”
Despite the couple’s wedding, which cost a rumoured $500,000, being attended by celebrity guests including Simon Cowell, fellow revellers insist everyone was down to earth.
One guest told Us Weekly magazine, “No one had a trace of attitude… Everyone was super friendly.
“It wasn’t one of those crazy weddings you hear about in Hollywood. It was a nice party for a nice couple.”
