Destination Weddings - Jamaica

I had the pleasure of staying at Couples Swept Away in Negril Jamaica this winter and witnessed approximately 15 weddings in a two week period! What a great destination for a beach wedding. Not only is the resort on a gorgeous stretch of beach, but the staff goes above and beyond each and every day for it's guest.

I met with one of the resorts wedding planners who took me through the resort to show me the various locations you can hold a wedding ceremony. There is of course the beach, their beautiful garden location and the gazebo.











Their wedding package includes the following:
Minister's Fee and non denominational ceremony
Flowers for the bride and groom
Two tiered wedding cake and bottle of wine
Witnesses (if required)
Just married T-shirts and massages!

You can add extras to your wedding such as a steel drum band, photography and videography and even a Wed Cast. And of course they'll work with you to host a fabulous reception at one of their many fabulous restaurants.

A great weekend in Lake Louise


Last weekend we had the pleasure of being hosted by the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise to view their property for wedding related events. We were put up in a beautiful suite and fed some amazing food.

What impressed me the most about the Chateau was their creativity when it comes to weddings. Not only did they show us their amazing ballroom and other fabulous traditional reception areas, but they took us on a tour of the Brewsters Barn and various hotel suites that would be perfect for small ceremonies. The staff at the Chateau are committed to doing what they can to make a bride and groom’s experience at the hotel a fabulous one.

While the hotel and all it’s amenities are amazing, let’s not forget about the view! During our stay the lake was frozen over, in fact they said we could go walk on it. I decided to keep my feet planted firmly on the ground around the lake, but there were others venturing out there. But from any point in and around the hotel you are surrounded by a beautiful back drop and awe inspiring views. Who wouldn’t want to host their wedding in such a beautiful area? Just imagine the photos you’ll come away with!

Want to learn more about the Chateau Lake Louise? Give us a call! These are just a few of the many photos we have from our weekend out there to give you a taste of what the hotel can offer. We’ll work with you and the great staff at the hotel to create not only an amazing wedding for you, but an experience your guests will never forget!

Dancing the night away....


Help your guests dance the night away by letting them kick off their shoes and slip into some fun flip flops! Baskets or buckets dressed up full of colorful flip flops around the dance floor will encourage guests to get down and comfy and dance the night away with you. You can pick up a rainbow of colors at Old Navy closer to the spring. We found these pictures on The Knot.com for inspiration. Now off to pack my own flip flops! We're headed to the Caribbean for a fun trip and to check out some great destination wedding venues!!

You're guests will love the notice and can save the tag for luggage identification when they arrive at your destination.

Destination Wedding - save-the-dates


With Christmas fast approaching, and it getting colder and colder here in Calgary, we can't help but think of warmer climates and palm trees. Being in the business of planning weddings, those thoughts typically turn to thoughts of destination weddings, being barefoot on the beach under the warm sand. So if you're thinking of jetting off to marry your sweetie, don't forget to give guest some notice with a save-the-date. We found these on http://www.mypersonalartist.com/ and fell in love. These are a great way to give guest the low down on your plans, plus it doesn't commit you to a color scheme if you're not quite ready to decide on purple vs. pink bridesmaid dresses.
