Destination Weddings

Couples often ask me: ”We want a Destination Wedding what do we do?”

Many couples believe that this is as easy as choosing a location in the Caribbean. They want to plan their own wedding but don’t know what country or resort to choose. There are many variables to consider when deciding on a destination location. Somethings to bear in mind are:

  • Do you want to get married on the beach with your feet in the white powdery sand or under a gazebo covered with tropical flowers or in a lush tropical garden. Are you the adventurous type that want to get married under the water in your scuba gear or zip line across the jungle screaming out “I DO”?
  • Have you considered the Temazcal experience for both families to join together spiritually before this couple unites.
  • What type of resort are you looking for? An all-inclusive resort, a quiet boutique resort or a resort full of activities and lots of action?
  • Is food important to you? If so, do you want a resort that offers only two restuarants or a resort that offers a variety of 10 or more restuarants to choose from? What type of cuisine are you looking for at these restaurants?
  • What do you want your Wedding Package to consist of: florist, DJ, photographer, videographer, cake etc.?
  • What is your budget and does it include transportation for just the couple or the entire wedding party to travel to this destination?
  • How many guests are you expecting?

Sounds overwelming doesn’t it? These are just a few of the questions to be considered when deciding on the best resort that suites your destination wedding dream and is just the beginning of the process. Stirling Wedding Designs has a great deal of knowledge when it comes to Destination Weddings and takes pride in being detail oriented in order to capture your vision as you have planned. Customizing your wedding is what we do best and our commitment will surpass your every expectation.

Sandy has been given the opportunity over the past several years to visit many resorts in the Caribbean. These “FAM” trips (short for familiarization trip) for wedding planners and travel agents have given me the opportunity to personally experience first hand all that these amazing resorts and what they have to offer. On the site tours we view the room categories, sample the cuisine and observe several on-site wedding locations. On several occasions we have witnessed wedding ceremonies, seeing first hand how the resorts handle their weddings. We have been given the chance to speak with local vendors including florists, decor companies, photographers  and many others. I have been fortunate enough to  have been able to visit Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, Bahamas, Bimini Bay, Barbados and Mexico.
