Our initial thought when planning a wedding was – OVERWHELMED, we had no idea where to start or even what we wanted to plan. The idea of a destination wedding came up and my parents, husband and I couldn’t think of a better way to get married. We wanted to plan some intimate, fun and that was us! My parents have used Sheila several times over the years, we instantly thought to use her for our destination wedding. Sheila is the GAL to work with – as any bride is, I was extremely nervous and had NO IDEA where to begin. Sheila took the time to take into account our “Resort Needs” and narrowed down resorts for us to pick through, she then got info from each of the resorts wedding departments and allowed us to choose. This was exactly what my mom, husband and I needed to select a resort. We landed at Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos – which we loved, once we were there. I will say that communication – on the resort side – was lacking at times prior to arrival and Sheila worked through all of our communication lapses and kept amazing records. Sheila not only worked to arrange our group booking, but worked with the wedding department to plan our Fiesta in Cabo San Lucas. We will absolutely use Sheila and her company again no matter our travel needs.
A couple things any destination couple should think about when planning:
Patience – You will be working with people from other countries, time zones – who work at resorts. Their job is to sell you the biggest packages and make money. Sheila will help you keep what you want into account, keep record of that and knock heads when needed to see your dreams through.
If you have a vision of how you things to look – remember that, don’t get lost in the idea that the resort and where you are at is the decor, if you want some color or traditional touches. You can absolutely do that! You may have to bring stuff with you, but don’t let go of all of the traditions just because you are going destination!
Have FUN – I had lots of stress around bringing a group and making sure everyone loved it. Sheila put my mind at ease more than once, assuring my the resort had lots of amazing reviews and handled the group booking like a champ! She provided us with lists of who booked with arrival dates, which HELPED SOO much once we were down there.
