Our Bags are packed!

When I say our bags are packed I truly mean it.
In our quest of exploring truly sensational destinations, discovering fabulous resorts, Liz and I have made it our mission to travel as much as possible.

In this year of 2009, Liz and I visited Jamaica in February, I spent time in the Mayan Riviera in May. Liz checked out the Cook Islands and New Zealand in June, then on to Costa Rica in September, and Jamaica again in October. We are both off to visit Hautulco in Mexico in November, and are back in the Riviera Maya in December.

So if any bride or groom wants specific details with planning a destination weddings - please ask us!

Planning Your Destination Wedding

Couples planning a destination Wedding is becoming a more popular choice, and for a variety of reasons. The primary motivator is cost. It is so much more cost effective to choose a destination, resort, and have all your family and friends join you. All inclusive resorts offer everything a bride and groom could ever dream of.

Travel packages include your flights, transfers to and from the airport and resort, and all your meals and alcohol. What could be better! The on site wedding coordinators work can assist you in choosing menus, flowers, and color schemes. Planning a wedding in your home town for months can be stressful.

Choosing to wed on a beach, with white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and warm sun on your shoulders is a winning situation!
