Why should couples lean on the expertise of an onsite wedding planner ?
It is simple . The onsite wedding planners know best what do to and react to
unexpected changes happening during an event . Especially in terms of weather , vendors , daylighting and , of course , the know-how onsite .
What mistakes do couples often make when planning a destination wedding ?
Hiring vendors on their own . The onsite wedding planners will always recommend what is best for their most important day of their lives .
What are some of the unique amenities , incentives and activities that your resort offers couples ?
We provide very secluded locations surrounded by nature and national parks . Weddings are intimate events , so we make sure you have the privacy you desire .
Dreams Resort & Spas
Resorts often have several spaces available for weddings — what should couples know before choosing one ?
First , having a good idea on the number of guests is helpful . And , of course , what elements the venue has that can be incorporated into the general wedding design and vision to play with the preexisting elements .
What advice would you give couples who wish to have an off-site wedding ?
Most of the locations for off-site weddings are remote , difficult to access or simply unknown . It is important to do a site visit to get an idea of the general experience both the couple and their guests will have at the location .
