What was the cost of your wedding package?

Did you add any upgrades?

We added the beach DJ, dance floor, and lighting for an additional $2500, and our additional guests above 40, photographer, flowers, and additional decor were a separate cost.

What was it like working with the wedding coordinator?

Our wedding coordinator was amazing! Truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted. Having experience coordinating a ton of weddings she was always on top of everything.

What was it like working with Destify?

Destify was a blessing to find. It made our travel so easy and stress-free. We always knew the status of all our guests. Everyone was always extremely helpful and very prompt. I would recommend Destify to anyone hoping to plan a destination wedding.

Your favorite wedding moment with your spouse?

One of our favorite moments of the week is taking our guests out on a sunset cruise in place of a rehearsal. It made the night before the wedding so special and definitely a night to remember.

What surprised you the most about the resort or venue?

What surprised us most about the resort was the setup of the reception on the beach, as we were planning we saw pictures but the pictures definitely did not do it justice. The views, the energy, the staff, and all our vendors were amazing. The DJ definitely knew we were there to party and have a good time. People always say something will go wrong at a wedding and we can truly say everything was perfect.

What was your favorite experience at the wedding?

Our favorite wedding experience was the beach ceremony. The resort we stayed at was our first vacation together so it was so special to have all our loved ones in our favorite place.

Would you do a destination wedding again?

We would do a destination wedding a million times over. It was the best week of our lives hands down.
