At the Romance Travel Market conference held in Chicago, Experts spoke about Complimentary Destination Weddings at All-Inclusive Resorts. I spoke to several of the All-Inclusive Resort experts in attendance about the “Complimentary” Destination Weddings at their resorts. Here is what they told me:
Certainly, couples getting married want to save money. Fiesta Americana offers Complimentary Destination Weddings that can definitely be an advantage for a couple getting married, with 10 or fewer guests. If there are a few more guests, then the couple can pay additionally for the added guests, or upgrade the package to include, say 20 guests. Fiesta Americana also gives the couple an upgrade to a suite for their Honeymoon, and other romantic amenities such as decorations, bottles of wine, and special turn down service to make their day more romantic. Comments by Liz Cruz – Fiesta American & Live Aqua, wedding manager.
Now, this is Ricardo Mora, regional sales & marketing manager for Karisma properties. The Complimentary Destination Wedding is a valuable opportunity for Wedding couples at Karisma properties of El Dorado Royale, El Dorado Seaside Suites, El Dorado Maroma, Generations, Azul Sensatori, Azul Fives, and Azul Beach. There are many options that a couple can choose, such as ceremony decorations and reception location. Signature services, such as wedding guest concierge, a groom’s room with the wedding bites on the day of the wedding, and a Personalized Wedding website and Honeymoon gift registry, are other options available.
Yesse Sanchez, Romance Travel Specialist with Paradisus Resorts, agreed totally that the Complimentary Destination Wedding was a wonderful option for couples with a small number of guests and modest budget. The couple receives a basic package with some choices that make a beautiful wedding at the Paradisus Resorts. They can also make choices and add options to make their Dream Wedding even more personalized and unique. The couple probably doesn’t have to add a lot to make it a very customized wedding for themselves. At Paradisus Resorts, our Wedding department can handle small or large weddings, and make each of them very original and special.
Tracy Schwerin, Wedding Business Development Manager for Couples Resorts in the USA and Canada, also spoke to me about this topic. She said the free Wedding is definitely worth it, at Couples Resorts in Jamaica. The Bride and Groom receive everything they need for their Wedding Day…flowers, cake, and champagne at the ceremony location. It is designed to be perfect for the happy couple. Couples Resorts has more than 40 years experience in designing Weddings for our guests , and the Complimentary services we provide would cost thousands of dollars in the United States.
It was a pleasure to speak to these Wedding experts about the Complimentary Destination Wedding packages offered by their resort brand. This Complimentary option for today’s couples, appears to be an excellent choice for a small (under 10 guest) wedding in a Mexico or Caribbean destination.
