Sandals Resorts Weddingmoons
Sandals Resorts coined the term "weddingmoons" — a combination wedding-plus-honeymoon getaway. Couples who decide to get married or renew vows at Sandals Resorts and then choose to honeymoon for five nights or more receive a free or low-cost ceremony. Why can Sandals Resorts be so generous? They hope you'll bring plenty of family members and friends along to witness your weddingmoon and stick around for a few days afterwards.All Sandals Resorts are staffed with wedding coordinators to ensure weddingmoons go smoothly. In addition to arranging for a location on property, a Sandals Resorts coordinator can take care of choosing the flowers (included the flower bouquet and boutonniere), ordering the two-tiered Caribbean wedding cake, hiring the photographer, and organizing a Caribbean-style champagne and hors d'oeuvres reception.
Sandals Resorts' wedding coordinators also handle weddingmoons details including organizing wedding documentation, arranging for a minister or justice of the peace, preparing wedding announcement cards, and preparing certified copies of marriage license and legal fees. Honeymooners who spend six nights or longer at Sandals Resorts receive a free wedding gift of a 20-piece starter set of Royal Doulton china.
Sandals also carries a line of wedding dresses for brides who need a suitable gown to wear in tropical weather.
Second Weddings at Sandals
It doesn't matter to Sandals whether this is your first, second, third, or 20th wedding. You're entitled to the same treatment and offers as every other couple who heads to the tropics for a destination wedding.
Vow Renewals at Sandals
Sandals offers its guests an affordable vow renewal package (visit their Web site) package. All you need prior to arriving is to reserve a time slot and bring a copy of your marriage certificate.
