if amsterdam manor and your planner has made assurances........then if there are "issues" with accessibility, they will deal with it.
i would trust their judgment.
our amsterdam manor expert is in in the UK.
when she is home, i am sure she can give good feedback.
both of my parents had polio and walked with the assistance of crutches and braces..............so i totally understand your concerns.

I'm getting married at Amsterdam Manor this fall and have two guests in wheelchairs. Both our planner and the hotel has assured me that we can work it out as the sand area where we are having the ceremony on Eagle Beach is dense and packed in enough and Passions, where the reception is, will also not be a problem. I'm trying to trust what everyone is saying, but it hard when you have never been there! Just want to be doubly sure that our guests are comfortable and don't have to suffer in the sand because of their handicaps.
I heard the Marriott has beach wheelchairs, but they will only rent them out to their own guests. Most of our guests will also be staying at Amsterdam.
Any and all insight/advice is greatly appreciated!
Also, would love to see your pics if you had a reception at Passions and ceremony at Eagle Beach across from the Amsterdam.
