24 DESTINATION BLISS
Resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean are popular for both honeymoons and destination weddings, but they’ re not all created equal. Our agency can help you select the all-inclusive resort for your style and their wedding planner will bring your dreams to life.
Daniel Meza Dreams Las Mareas’ wedding manager
Why should couples lean on the expertise of an onsite wedding planner?
It is simple. The onsite wedding planners know best what do to and react to
unexpected changes happening during an event. Especially in terms of weather, vendors, daylighting and, of course, the know-how onsite.
What mistakes do couples often make when planning a destination wedding?
Hiring vendors on their own. The onsite wedding planners will always recommend what is best for their most important day of their lives.
What are some of the unique amenities, incentives and activities that your resort offers couples?
We provide very secluded locations surrounded by nature and national parks. Weddings are intimate events, so we make sure you have the privacy you desire.
Dreams Resort & Spas
Resorts often have several spaces available for weddings— what should couples know before choosing one?
First, having a good idea on the number of guests is helpful. And, of course, what elements the venue has that can be incorporated into the general wedding design and vision to play with the preexisting elements.
What advice would you give couples who wish to have an off-site wedding?
Most of the locations for off-site weddings are remote, difficult to access or simply unknown. It is important to do a site visit to get an idea of the general experience both the couple and their guests will have at the location.
