Sandals Destination Weddings – Weddingmoons

101_5621Last week I had the privilege of traveling to Nassau, Bahamas to become certified in Sandals Weddingmoons. Basically, it means their wedding and honeymoon options. I have traveled all over and I must say that this was THE BEST resort I have ever stayed at. Not only was the resort beautiful and offered so many amenities but the staff was extraordinary! I was even welcomed with champagne at check in!!

101_5733What I learned the most from my stay was the value guests receive at Sandals and Beaches. Everything is included during your stay…delicious food, premium liquor, large beautiful rooms, gratuity, lots of land and water sport options, daily entertainment & so much more! The value is point on for the price! You could even choose to have your own personal butler for a luxury stay in a Butler Category!

Destination weddings at Sandals starts with the pre-designed wedding themes. This option is for those brides that want a less stressful way of planning their wedding. There are 6 styles available based on your budget and look you are trying to achieve. The Beautiful Beginnings theme is FREE if you book 3 nights or more in any room category. This is a $500 value! It includes a sweet Fuchsia dendrobium orchid bouquet and boutonniere, as well as a table for eight with crisp linens, a lovely centerpiece, and a charming white cake.
