Our very own Sandals Destination Wedding Specialist!

Our honeymoon specialist at Travel Planners, Candy Burnaine, was just recently in Jamaica completing her certificate for Sandals Destination Wedding Specialist. The following article is her story of her journey there as well as describing how wonderful a destination wedding at Sandals Resorts can be!


I was just in Jamaica in April, completing my certification as a Sandals Destination Wedding Specialist. While I have done many weddings at their resorts over the past 15 years, I still learned a lot during my visit.  Sandals’ is always raising the bar and they have done it again with new, fully customizable weddings. Now it is “your wedding…. your way” and the possibilities are endless!
You are no longer restricted to certain packages and colors, there are more accessories to add than ever before and the color combinations are fabulous! Because I know the wedding coordinators in the main office AND the coordinators at each resort, personally, it’s a snap for me to help you plan the wedding of your dreams. Want to charter a catamaran for a sunset sail as your reception? Have a beach bonfire as a rehearsal dinner? Want to marry at sunset at the water’s edge?  It’s all possible… whatever you imagine for your wedding, can become a reality.
 Destination weddings may seem like an overwhelming amount of work to a bride and groom, but not when you work with me. I’ll  help you with all the little details along the way, but I start by helping you solve the first and biggest dilemma-deciding where to go!  All of Sandals and Beaches Resorts are great but they each have unique features and different atmospheres.  I can help you determine which resort is the right one for your special day, based on your needs. Its personal service; we can sit down face to face and plan your big day…. try getting that from an online site!  Maybe you have family and friends scattered all over who want to come too-not a problem I can coordinate travel for everyone.
Destination Weddings are one of the easiest, most cost effective ways to marry. Whether you want an intimate ceremony for just you two or a Caribbean celebration to include your family and friends, with a destination wedding you have less hassle, less expense and less stress.  And let’s be honest think about the photo possibilities!  Paperwork is completed before you ever leave the U.S. and all the wedding details are planned way in advance. By the time you arrive in your destination, you basically show up with what you want to get married in and choose the site on the resort property for the ceremony. It’s that easy!
Sandals has a great way to help you decide if a Destination Wedding or Honeymoon is for you, it’s called Weddingmoons First Look. It’s a chance this fall to spend 3 days at Sandals Grande Riviera in Jamaica and preview what your wedding and/or honeymoon could be like. And if you decide to choose a wedding or honeymoon at one of their resorts after your visit, you get a $500 credit towards your trip.
Dates and space are limited so if interested in this chance to preview all Sandals has to offer, let me know before space is sold out.
So what are you waiting for?
Look over some of these photos and see what your wedding can be. Call me for an appointment!



After a tasting you will choose your wedding cake flavor.

You will see some of the table setting options, colors, and extra items you may want to add such as lanterns, candles, torches, seashells, etc. 

What it, when you see the colors in person and you wish you has chosen the tangerine instead of the seafoam for your napkins? No problem, this is easily changed if you have a customized wedding. 




 



       Next, you will choose the site for your ceremony. Want to say your vows with the waves lapping at your bare feet? Sandals offers beach front weddings and garden settings for the more traditional ceremony. 

                                               








Want to have a large wedding? Rent the entire offshore island at Sandals Royal Caribbean resort. Choose a romantic canopy and customize with your colors or curtains of seashells. 









Then for your reception, you can have a simple cake  and toast at the ceremony site, a cocktail party, or a seated dinner. If you want to do it even bigger, you can charter a boat for your entire wedding party!

                                                 



Sandals will make your perfect day PERFECT!
