How did Destify help you choose the perfect destination and resort for your wedding?
What was your favorite wedding moment with your spouse?
I loved our private vows. Our hotel representative did a great job of finding us a private location us to do our vows before the wedding. It was a great experience, and the pictures were beautiful.
What was your favorite experience at the wedding?
We enjoyed the addition of the party pack. It was a great way to keep our guests entertained throughout the reception. We had dancers, drummers, and a stilt walker pouring shots. We did a conga line into a limbo and had water drums that everyone got to play. The DJ also made sure the music was always upbeat and fun. We danced for the whole three hours and had a blast.

How was the experience for your guests, and what did they enjoy most about the wedding and destination?
The guests said that they also enjoyed the party pack. Said it was the first wedding they ever had been to with a woman on stilts. They said it was the most fun wedding they have ever been too. They also enjoyed the activities and parties at the pool daily and the nice white sand beaches. Everyone spent a lot of time by the pools or in the ocean.
Looking back, what would you say to couples considering a destination wedding with Destify?
I think Destify is a must when planning a destination wedding. They were able to help coordinate and set up the wedding with the hotel. The guests were able to place a deposit to hold their rooms and then pay throughout the year. If my guests had any questions or concerns, Destify was easy to get hold of, and they handled the problems without having to include us. I also really liked the shuttle option, which made it easy for our guests to get to and from the airport.
How was your ceremony, and did you have a reception? Where was your reception?
The ceremony was short but perfect. The resort did a great job playing the music that we had planned. We were able to proofread and edit the officiants template prior so that it was catered to us. He also stepped out of the way during important moments for picture opportunities. The ceremony and the reception were both on the terrace.
What did you love most about getting married at your resort?
I loved how easy it was to plan. Everyone assumed that being far away made it harder, but the resort had a built-in wedding planner that helped organize everything from ceremony and reception details to rehearsal dinner, dinner reservations, and room service.
How did the amenities at your resort make your wedding week special?
We had a spa on-site, and a couples massage was included in our package. This was a nice way to relax before having everyone come into town. We were also able to do our menu tasting a few days before finalizing our menu. They offered pressing services for my dress and his suit, and they were delivered to the room the day of the wedding. They provided lunch and drinks for the bridal parties while getting ready. We were also able to have a private rehearsal dinner with all of our guests the day before.

What features of your resort made your ceremony or reception memorable?
The terrace was beautiful. Having the ceremony overlooking the ocean created beautiful pictures. Also, the first dance was timed perfectly during golden hour, so we had a beautiful sunset behind us for all of our pictures. At night, it was wonderful to have the string lights and party outside under the stars.
How did you feel about planning a destination wedding at first, and in what ways did our team help simplify the process and bring your vision to life?
I was skeptical at first about doing a destination wedding because it was a lot to coordinate. Having Destify made it so much easier to manage our guests and their rooms. We didn’t have to answer numerous questions, and the guests were able to book right through our site. We were also able to view everyone who booked on our dashboard, so we were able to guestimate how many people would be attending before our final count was done.
Knowing what you know, would you do a destination wedding again?
I would choose a destination wedding again.
Lastly, do you have any advice for future couples?
Do not stress about the small things. In the whole scheme of the day, I didn’t even notice the flowers on the cake or the vinyl on the DJ booth. It was just great to have all of our loved ones in one spot, having a great time.
See all couples
