My destination wedding was, in my eyes, the image of absolute perfection. Marrying the love of my life on a white-sand shore in Cayo Guillermo, Cuba, was an experience I will never forget. While I wouldn’t change anything about our wedding, these are some great tips and considerations to keep in mind when you’re planning yours!
Bachelorette party
When I heard about the packages for bachelor and bachelorette parties at the CHIC by Royalton in Punta Cana, I wanted to start planning our vow renewals! With inclusions such as surfing lessons, access to the mermaid pool, golf, private yoga classes and even pole dancing – this is the ultimate in destination experiences!
Group excursions
There’s no better way to make lasting memories than to have your whole group participate in a cultural or adventure tour in destination. Nexus Tours provides safe, fun and affordable guided tours of all kinds. If you’re traveling to Mexico – there is a one of a kind excursion to an underwater museum! In Jamaica, Dunn’s River Falls is a must-see (bring water shoes) and in Varadero, you can’t beat the overnight excursion to Havana.
Spread the word
Our vacation package was very affordable and I wish we had spent more time contacting people directly to talk to them about it. We sent out “save the date” and invitation cards in the mail, but I think we would have had more guests if we had taken the time to let them know what a great opportunity it was. The majority of our immediate family and close friends were there, but it would have been great to have the same memories with even more people!
Activities at the resort
Some resorts have amazing activity schedules and great features for families. The Memories Splash Punta Cana boasts the largest waterpark in the Caribbean and has a splash pad, mini wave pool and amazing water slides for children and adults as well! There is also a fantastic kids’ club, teen club and a full schedule of activities all day long. Whether you enjoy dance lessons, yoga or more rowdy group sports, they have something for everyone.
Organized meals
We generally met for dinner at the buffet, but it would have been nice to have more sit-down meals together. Royalton Resorts feature limitless, à la carte dining and no reservations are required! Of course, you may have a small wait for larger groups (your butler will make reservations for you if you upgrade to Diamond Club), but the cuisine options make it well worth it!
