All Inclusive Honeymoons

The "Look of Love" bridal show on Sunday was great fun! I had to chance to meet several couples, MOHs, and MOBs and chat about the wonderful honeymoon options available.
In traditional fashion, the majority of couples were planning an all inclusive Caribbean beach honeymoon. Many of the grooms in attendance were in charge of planning the honeymoon and most of them were looking into Sandals resorts. Here are some great reasons to plan your honeymoon with a travel agent:

#1 Sandals website is awesome! However, they do not use NWA for any of their flights. So, many couples book online and are taking Delta or American with one or two stops to Jamaica (sometimes even with an overnight!). If they had called a travel agent we would have told them there are several non-stop or one stop flights from MSP to Jamaica and we can get them for the same price or less than on the Sandals website!

#2 When perusing the vibrant pages of the Sandals brochure inevitably you will ask yourself "which one do I choose?". Choosing a destination, then choosing a specific resort within that destination can be painstaking. Then, after finally making a choice, finding out that you have to take 3 flights to get there can be discouraging. We are here to help you!

#3 Sandals room categories can be daunting. For each resort, there are what seems like dozens of room categories. Sorting through their descriptions and determining what you are really getting is difficult. A Certified Sandals Specialist can help you sort through the plethora of Sandals room categories and help make sure you are getting what you need.

#4 Although Sandals are fabulous resorts, they are not the only all inclusive game in town! There are several all inclusive products out there whose level of quality and service meet and surpass the Sandals benchmark. Sandals may be perfect for you, but if there is another resort that better suits your needs, we want to be sure that we help you find it.

Disney World Destination Weddings

During a recent planning session with one of my brides, we discussed the many advantages to booking a Disney World Destination wedding. Here's a quick list of the many benefits!

#1 Reasonably priced year round flights from almost everywhere in the US

#2 Hundreds of hotel options. Guests do not need to stay on Disney property (althought there are many advantages to doing so!)

#3 World Class Dining! With Disney's dining plan, it is the closest thing we have to an all inclusive vacation in the US. The Wine and Dine plan even features one bottle of wine per night!

#4 Not just for kids! With several golf, spa, and entertainment options Disney offers a huge variety of adult activities.

#5 Add Ons. You can add a Disney Cruise for your honeymoon, rent a car and add on a Florida Beach vacation, or hop a quick flight to the Bahamas!

#6 Magical Beginings....Disney does everything better. A bride will truly experience what it's like to be a princess for a day.
