Planning a wedding can get pretty crazy. One minute you've got over 12 months to play with, and the next you're practically walking down the aisle! Before getting to that point though, there are lots of things to think about, like decor, invites, venue, location, and so much more.
Other than planning the logistics of the ceremony, if you're the bride, you'll also need to figure out who your bridesmaids will be and how you plan on asking them. Many brides don't give much thought to popping the 'Will you be my bridesmaid?' question - but it's a question that requires finesse, and some level of charm. If you're unsure of how to proceed, here are some practical bridesmaid proposal ideas we've compiled that are sure to help get your besties to come along for the most exciting ride of your life!
Insider tip: Still thinking about where to tie the knot? Consider a
Sandals all-inclusive wedding which will take the planning out of your hands and put it into the hands of the experts!
Cards are a simple yet wonderful way of letting someone know how much they mean to you. They're also great for proposals of just about any kind, including bridesmaid proposals. Here are a few ideas for cards that can help you to ask your friends the question of the day:
Looking for Sandals Resorts travel agents? We offer the best prices and packages, including airfare to and from destination, airport transfers, excursions and activities, travel insurance and so much more.
A custom-made item is a nice way to add a personal touch to any gift or card. A handmade card is even better because then you get to select any style or design of your choice. This shows that you've invested some time into creating something you know will be appreciated.
A bridesmaid proposal card doesn't always have to be formal and business-like. Lighten the mood by adding a silly line or two or even an 'inside joke' only you and your bridesmaids-to-be would know about.
If you feel like cutting to the chase, a 'Let's do this' card gets straight to the point and lets your bridesmaids-to-be know that you mean business.
A little creativity never hurt anyone. These might even be the cherry on top when it comes to your bridesmaid invite! Lure in those special women who'll help ensure everything about your wedding day goes smoothly. Unique designs are cool, and you can also include a famous line or two from your favorite singer or actor.
This type of card builds up the excitement and fun by letting your bridesmaids put in a little work to finally uncover the big secret. Each lady will have to scratch her card to find out exactly what's hidden underneath, and only then will the exciting news be revealed!
Who doesn't like getting gifts? Giving one to your potential bridesmaids may be just what you need to coax them into saying yes. There are different bells and whistles you can include with these gift boxes. Here are some ideas:
Gift boxes are another way to present your proposal to your closest friends. The best goodie boxes have room enough to include lots of treats, trinkets, and even jewelry while making a proposal of a lifetime.
A customized gift box is a cute bridesmaid proposal idea. There are tons of designs you can reference to create your own or get one customized by a company. You can print the bridesmaid names on the outside and fill the inside with treats and snacks they'll love.
The pop-up box is a whole lot more exciting than a simple bridesmaid box. This type of box will leave your bridesmaid in awe when she opens it up and out pops a beautiful display in color. As a bonus, you can fill it with whichever treats you think your bridesmaids will enjoy.
If you want to add some mystery to your bridesmaid proposal, why not give your potential bridesmaid a present and slip your proposal in the package? You can gift her with a few bottles of wine or even a blouse you know she's always wanted. You can slip an envelope inside with your request.
Proposal bomb boxes are a fun way of popping the question. As soon as the recipient unwraps and opens the box, it pops open to reveal your secret. You can also personalize these bomb boxes to include the names of your beloved bridesmaids-to-be.
Bridesmaid proposal boxes are simple and memorable, and an engraving at the top of each box will be a sweet gesture. These make great mementos and can even be used to store jewelry and other personal effects.
A gift of spa products inclusive of mineral masks, essential oils, shampoos, candles, and bath products is a sweet way to let your bridesmaids know you care about them. You can include your invite inside the box!
Insider tip: Got the wedding planning jitters? Go for a Caribbean resort like Sandals for an experience that comes with a dedicated Sandals Wedding Planner who'll help you get everything you need in order ahead of your big day!
Your pre-wedding shenanigans won't be complete without a spa treatment to help you and your bridesmaids relax before the ceremony. Options include finding a great spa you can all go to or bringing the spa to your bridesmaids-to-be in an unexpected way. Here are some great options we like:
Spa days are great for connecting and relaxing. Find out when everyone is free and set up a day when you can all have a chill time together indulging in exotic spa treatments. After everyone is all pampered, you can make your special announcement and extend the invitation!
If you don't feel like heading to the spa, why not transform your home into one? To make this possible, you'll need to head to the beauty store for some supplies. You can pick up lotions, essential oils, body scrubs, face masks, and other indulgent treats. You can also go the DIY route for face masks, which is something you can all do together. The next step, of course, will be popping the big question!
Insider tip: Speaking of spas, you and your wedding party will be in the lap of luxury and indulgence at the award-winning Sandals
Red Lane Spa . You'll be able to find the rejuvenation and relaxation you and your bridesmaids need and so much more!
Put some smiles on the faces of your future bridesmaids by gifting them with clothing items they might even be able to wear to your bachelorette party! You can shop around for some comfy PJs - anything cute and cozy will do. Remember, a personalized touch is always well-received!
Gifting your bridesmaid with customized t-shirts is a neat way of helping them to support you during this important milestone in your life. You can include catchy slogans like 'bridal duty', 'the bride tribe' - basically anything that adds to the fun and excitement of your big day!
A smooth, silky satin robe can be a great gift for your bridesmaids-to-be. These are so soft and comfy that they will surely help your bridesmaids mellow out as they get their hair and makeup done for the wedding. You can gift one of these to each of your bridesmaids, along with a handwritten invitation!
All your bridesmaids should step out in style on your wedding day with their hair adorned with the latest and fanciest hair ties on the market. Remember, these ladies represent you so be sure to help them to represent you well!
If you feel like switching up the traditional dress code, a bridesmaid jacket adds an edge to the regular bridesmaid dress. It's both trendy and cute and the custom-made ones can feature any interesting quotes you come across.
Planning a wedding can be hectic and chances are your bridesmaid is going to want to get some shut eye whenever they can. Help them out a little by gifting them with a luxe sleep mask to help them relax and get some much-needed rest.
Live on the edge (but not really) with some cool temporary tattoos you and your bridesmaids can rock at your bachelorette party, or even at your wedding. You can all get in touch with your creative and somewhat rebellious selves with some rad temporary tattoos. This will definitely be the gift that keeps on giving, and a memory you won't soon forget!
Imagine your girls stepping out in their very own pair of personalized sunglasses in honor of your wedding. Sounds pretty cool right? Box these up along with your invite. They will certainly make a statement at your bachelorette party, so get yourself a pair as well!
Buying personalized pajamas for your nearest and dearest is a sweet gift option that'll show you care about the comfort of your bridesmaids-to-be! Make this gift complete by adding some sleep masks to the package.
Insider tip: Want to have a wedding and vacation in one? You can get a
free Sandals wedding with a minimum 3-night stay inclusive of an amazing venue, a bouquet, a boutonniere, and even a gorgeous cake you'll be able to cut against the backdrop of paradise!
Your bridesmaids will surely get hungry along the way and, in between meals, they might want to have a few snacks and candies to keep them going. Here are our top picks for sweet treats they're sure to love:
People find lots of fun ways to enjoy their favorite foods and cupcakes are no different. Rather than simply serving them in cupcake liners, you can put them in mason jars - this way they'll be able to keep the jars (which hopefully are wedding customized!) when they're done.
Can anyone really say no to some delicious cookies? Especially with icing on top with cute messages, these will be a delicious treat for your ladies to savor. The best part is that these can be made in different shapes, sizes, colors, and flavors. Go for red, heart-shaped cookies for a touch of romance!
This sweet candy can be made extra special in honor of your wedding day. Start by customizing them with the faces of your friends or even phrases like 'Best Friends' or 'Friends Forever.'
Chocolate is a dessert item you can play around with, and it also makes a great gift for your bridesmaids. Take your pick of the many brands your troupe will love and include your proposal inside the box of chocolates!
Yummy treats on a stick - this is one gift just about anyone would be happy about receiving. Take your pick of the many vibrant colors, find a size that suits you, or even go for gourmet selections with a nicely sealed bridesmaid proposal envelope on the side!
Insider tip: A little inspiration never hurt anyone! Take a look at these amazing
wedding inspiration ideas you might be able to incorporate into your big day.
Your bridesmaids should be able to enjoy a drink or two in style, and a fancy tumbler is just the way to do it. These come in a range of colors and can be customized to include any design of your choice. For the sake of holding onto memories, your bridesmaids will be able to keep these long after your wedding!
Let the wedding fun begin with a bottle of custom wine! Take things to another level by placing a label you and your future bridesmaids will love... perhaps the wine label can contain your proposal or something sweet you love about each lady? Find out whether they love red or white wine, and you'll be good to start planning! Add a handwritten note for a personal touch.
A wedding is a celebration of love with friends, food, and, more than likely, alcohol. Make yours truly memorable by personalizing some shot glasses before gifting them to your bridesmaids just ahead of them setting off on the journey with you to an amazing wedding day!
Fizzy drinks will definitely look (and perhaps even taste) better in a flute that has been customized for each of your bridesmaids. From your bachelorette party to your wedding, they'll be able to enjoy their favorite sparkling drinks in this personalized gift.
A hot cup of tea or coffee is best enjoyed from an insulated mug that keeps the drink warm. Breakfast on the go, or rather, tea on the go, does not have to be a dull affair. Mugs can be customized to include inspiring or romantic messages on the side, and this is something your bridesmaids will for sure appreciate.
Drink sleeves are a convenient way to carry your favorite drink with you when you're on the go. A customized version for your bridesmaids is a good way to inspire them to stay hydrated while planning the wedding with you.
A customized wine glass will go great with a bottle of wine and the customized label we described earlier. This wine glass can include the bridesmaid's name and even your wedding date - that way she'll always remember the moment she shared with you.
A gift of a water bottle can help ensure your friends have a way of storing the most essential drink when they're out and about. It's easy to customize as well and is one of the most sensible presents you can give.
Champagne is one of the best drinks to have for any celebration. A bottle of mini champagne with a custom label designed by yours truly? Even better! Your bridesmaid might even choose to slip this into her bag to save a bit of fun for later!
Insider tip: At Sandals,
five-star premium liquors are included in your all-inclusive package. There are as many as 11 bars per resort, including swim-up bars and over-the-water bars with expert bartenders waiting to serve signature cocktails, and so much more!
A locket is a small but sentimental gift that allows you to wear your favorite memories around your neck. Have a little fun with a gift like this one by including pictures inside of you and your friends, or simply take the opportunity to pop the question.
Most women love the idea of receiving a pair of earrings as a gift. In this case, earrings can serve two different purposes: As a simple gift with your proposal inside the box, or as a jewelry item to match the bridesmaid dress. Either way, it's a win.
Bracelets are another item of jewelry you can give someone and be pretty confident they will like it. Again, the bracelet can match the wedding dress, and the box can be customized to include your proposal inside.
Ring dishes are beautiful and elegant, and you can choose from unique, custom, or even handmade options. These can be used to store various jewelry items. Your bridesmaids will love the thoughtfulness of this proposal gift!
Bath bombs for bridesmaids are all the rage. These often come pre-wrapped in a clear cellophane bag (glittery or not - your choice), and you can have your pick of the color ribbon included with each individual gift. Pair this with a handwritten proposal card, and you're likely to get many yeses!
Candles are often included in weddings. Even before the ceremony, you can set the tone by using some one-of-a-kind candles in your bridesmaid proposal. Try adding some fun phrases on the candle jar, or even asking the big question in bold print!
Plants speak life and getting your bridesmaids small and easy-to-maintain plants like a succulent is a thoughtful way to go. You can choose between the real deal and artificial versions that are just as adorable.
What better way to add a little pizzazz to the closet of a bridesmaid-to-be than with a personalized bridesmaid hanger? This can be part of your proposal, and each hanger can include their name and title, for example: 'Caroline: Bridesmaid.'
Tote bags are a must for every woman. When planning your wedding, you might want to give one of these as a gift to your bridesmaids-to-be. Custom totes (and your exciting news!) will definitely be something your bridesmaids will smile about.
A personalized version of a bottle opener can include your proposal on the handle or your bridesmaid's name. Instead of simply gifting it by itself, you can add it to a gift box that includes wine or champagne.
Two special occasions can be integrated with one special gift: a bridesmaid Christmas ornament. If your bridesmaid is a big fan of Christmas celebrations, then a gift like this would make her very happy and she will be glad to have a reminder of your special day too.
A beautiful bouquet of flowers is a sweet and heartwarming gesture for your bridesmaids. Better yet, add a little note with your proposal so they know just what it is all about.
One can never have too many picture frames. Bring some pictures of you and your best gals from social media to life as you pop the question. You can encase each photo in a picture frame with your proposal etched along the borders. Your bridesmaids will be delighted with the memories this gift brings.
Pillows that have been customized to include your request are sure to be appreciated by the lovely ladies who'll stand by your side on your wedding day. Long after the nuptials, this proposal pillow will serve as a fond memory that can also help with getting a good night's rest.
Similar to the personalized bottle opener, a bridesmaid keychain is a small but handy gift item. They can both be added to a bunch of keys and the bridesmaid keychain will serve as a reminder of her role in the nuptials.
If your wedding is taking place across the state or out of the country entirely, then a personalized luggage tag will be a cool gift for your bridesmaid-to-be. Personalizing it to include 'Bridesmaid' on the tag, is a way of instantly letting them know what the present is all about.
Insider tip: There's hardly anything that can beat a destination wedding... except perhaps a destination wedding and honeymoon combo, which is entirely possible with Sandals Honeymoons! With a
Sandals honeymoon , you'll be able to enjoy gourmet dining at up to 16 specialty restaurants per resort, land and water sports galore, day and night entertainment, and luxurious suites created with romance in mind!
A bridesmaid 'recipe' highlights what you love most about each bridesmaid and the friendship you share with them. This is something you can create yourself, and it is a great way of honoring the ladies who'll serve as your bridesmaids.
A wedding is a perfect reason to be pampered. Get into a mode of comfort and style by heading out to get some matching manicures and pedicures with your bridesmaids before you pop the question. If you'd like, you can get them matching bottles of nail polish with the big question printed on the label.
Balloons are the ultimate celebratory item, so take advantage of this and literally pop the question with a couple of balloons. This will surely add to the excitement of the upcoming wedding.
Pi�atas always add some excitement and fun, and you can make a champagne mini pi�ata to let your bridesmaids-to-be know how you would like them to be a part of your wedding. The pi�ata can be stuffed with all sorts of treats, and you can add your proposal to the mix.
Confetti poppers are those party items that are practically begging you to have a good time. Make good use of them and ask your bridesmaids-to-be all the questions you want and be prepared to answer a few from them too.
If you're a lover of suspense, you're going to love the eager looks on the faces of your future bridesmaids when they begin to unravel the mystery ribbon - this is the only way they'll be able to read the secret message it holds. This process will be rewarding for all, and you will be ecstatic when they finally say yes!
Another element of suspense and surprise can be found in these unique pop-me proposal balloons. This will be an entertaining way of pitching your proposal and seeing the ladies all excited to share the moment with you!
Now that you have this comprehensive list to work with, we're almost certain you have what it takes to win over the lucky ladies who'll play a crucial role in getting you down the aisle. Match these ideas up with your budget and the personalities of the friends or family members you'll be asking. Then, you'll be all set.

I wanted to share (with permission) these gorgeous pictures from a destination wedding 2 weekends ago we had the privilege of being a part of and booked by Lia. She chose this over the water wedding chapel in St. Lucia with friends and family there to help celebrate. I love her flower crown and her dress and how happy she is. Picture perfect. Congratulations Kate and Curtis! We are so happy for you!
Lia was very helpful for us in planning our destination wedding to Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We had gone through a few other travel planners first who didn't seem nearly as interested in our needs. We really appreciated the way Lia helped us navigate through some of the complexities, including the local laws of Jamaica and the planning with the resort itself. Even once we got to the resort and ran into a few snags, Lia was able to quickly get those resolved very quickly. We would highly recommend her for anyone planning a destination wedding or any other vacation. Thanks, Lia, for making our destination wedding the most special day of our lives.
Wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming, but if you're planning on having a destination wedding, especially with a large group, I would highly recommend using All Inclusive Weddings!
From beginning to end, they help with every step; i.e., finding the venue, creating a custom wedding website, and booking all your guests. Their office manager, Linze, was very responsive, helpful, and so sweet! Everything turned out smoothly and we couldn't be happier!
Stephanie was our incredible travel agent for our destination wedding! She helped with every aspect, quick communication and AMAZING coordination with over 50 different people over 8 states. Stephanie from the beginning, gave options and talked through so many questions I had. I could not have asked for a better right hand woman! 10 out of 10 for Steph, we could not appreciate & trust her more!
Incredible Agent For Our Destination Wedding! 10 Out Of 10 For Steph!
Such an amazing week of memories,laughter & love! Thankful for our people and truly blessed beyond words ♥ï¸â™¥ï¸
My husband and I worked with the company's owner, Lia Vincent, and office manager, Linze.
Lia & Linze were both very warm and friendly, and from day one, we could tell cared about us as a couple and our destination wedding success, rather than just seeing us as more clients. I get stressed out easily, so planning my own wedding alone was overwhelming, even though my wedding was 10 months out. I ended up working with Linze, and we pushed up the wedding date with a little less than three months to prepare. I was initially nervous about using a travel agent / wedding planner, but it turned out to be a huge blessing, because it took away a lot of the stress and worry I was experiencing. A bride has so many things to worry about, so having someone else bear the brunt of the work and worry about the nitty-gritty details was a HUGE relief for me.
Why spend hours analyzing vendors and reading reviews, when you can have a pro do it? If you want an intimate wedding, if you want to elope, or if you want a huge all-out, go-into-debt-for-years wedding, and if you're in the market for a wedding travel agent, Lia and Linze should be at the top of your list!
The day of the wedding, everything was so beautiful, and so much better than I could have done on my own. Lia's company finds the best local vendors, so you know you'll get great value in your package, and what's nice is her company offers different packages for different budgets. We worked with and met AMAZING vendors! The reception was so elegant that as soon as I entered the reception, I felt amazement, joy, and relief because being the worrywart and control freak that I sometimes can be, it was hard for me to trust someone to somehow make everything perfect. Lia was able to give us the dream wedding we couldn't have done ourselves. Our family and friends were also amazed, and repeatedly told us how great the wedding, reception, and food were at the resort.
I used Stephanie Tindall to help me choose the perfect resort in PV Mexico for where my guests would stay for my destination wedding. She went round and round with me helping me find the perfect location. It had to be nice, trendy, not to outrageously expensive and within a certain mile radius of a marina where my guests needed to go for the wedding. She helped everyone get booked and when things became a little hectic as tracking sometimes can get. She took care of the details. One of my guests had passport issues and she helped talk them through what to do. It was such a relief to have a point of contact for travel related issues so I didn't have to be stressed about it. She did this all with a patient, positive? upbeat and kind attitude through the entire process. I highly recommend her.
Thank you again,
Darby Brown
Unico was wonderful and the perfect place for our wedding! It was quiet and the ceremony was better than expected. We had it on the gazebo and it was away from everything, which was great. The photography was beyond our expectations. We have not received our video yet, but assume it will be just as great. I also used the in house vendor for make up and hair, and was not disappointed. The wedding coordinator, Nazareth, was so sweet and on point. We used the local host quite a bit with WhatsApp, which was quite convenient. Food and drinks were amazing. We were disappointed that 2087 restaurant was down for half of our stay for repairs. We ate at Mi Carisa on our wedding night, which was the perfect choice. Service was also best there. We scheduled 2 tours through the hotel, a sunset cruise and Chichen Itza express. The boat tour was nice. Chichen itza tour was too fast and ok. We really appreciate your recommendations and help booking our wedding and stay. It was wonderful! Thank you again, Juliet and Jason
We just got back from an AMAZING wedding weekend yesterday. I can't begin to thank you enough for your help and support during the entire process. Everyone had a great time. It truly was one of the best days of my life and I can't believe how stress-free it was once I got there. Thank you Thank you!
I have never used a travel agent before Lia. I have always been the "I can do everything cheaper by myself on the internet" type person; most of the time, it works great. When my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding, we were not sure about anything - number of guests, length of stay, etc; we also have very demanding jobs, requiring constant travels up until the week before our wedding. So we thought that a travel agent may be a lifesaver; as it turned out, she was. Lia was endorsed as an expert in destination weddings on the American Express Travel website. Although she lived over a 1,000 miles away, I felt comfortable.
As I am not a "girly" person, wedding planning was not my thing; however, party planning and event coordination are. Lia and I treated this "event" like a business and I loved that about her; I needed someone to be truthful and provide honest advice. As it is with my job, I like corresponding via emails because I can have all the information on hand and in writing at all time; Lia always accommodated that, and always very promptly. I'm not talking about several emails over a few months; I'm talking about over the course of over a year. Lia was there to provide support when I had a hard time reach the wedding coordinator; she was there when I freaked out at the resort regarding my brother's return transportation (as it turned out, my brother spoke with the wrong transportation company); she was organized to be able to provide me with spreadsheet of all guest arrival information; she always submitted my requests to Classic Vacation and the resort promptly. James and I cannot thank Lia enough to make everything go smoothly for the biggest event of our lives. All 48 of us had such a great time that we absolutely see another group vacation in the future.

Lia being referred to me saved me so much wedding planning mental anguish! I had tried with a few other travel agents before I had two different people give me Lia's name, and with each of the previous TAs they had to look into things and call me back (I'm still waiting for those calls). Getting in touch with Lia was a whole new experience, she answered all my initial questions in that first phone call, had so many recommendations, and it was obvious she knew exactly what she was doing. By the time we hung up the first phone call, I had decided on a destination and venue (per Lia's suggestion). She was a God send! A year later, we are still having people talk about what a great trip it was and people are always amazed by what a great turn out we had. We ended up with about 60 people, all booking through Lia and everyone had a flawless experience. One even asked for her name when planning her destination wedding a few months later and was just as pleased! Lia told me a lot through the planning process that I was such a laid-back bride, but it really was because she left me nothing to worry about. She answered any question I had, was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and helped me plan the most perfect wedding ever. I wish I could re-live it all again!!
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Throughout the process we felt completely at ease as she handled some of the most important details of planning for this special time. From her first recommendations of resorts and destinations to her help arranging travel for our closest family and friends we always felt grateful having Lia on our side. We highly recommend Lia Vincent and Palace Resorts for your destination wedding!
I am truly so grateful for you and all of your help! Le Blanc was amazing! NOTHING could have been better, except maybe the weather, but the staff, food, and service were above and beyond! We will definitely go back there!! Love, Love, Love you for all of your help - Can NOT thank you enough!!
Our Dream Wedding!
Lia was a phenomenal help from the beginning. She was referred to me by a friend, and I was incredibly thankful that we used her. When we started planning, we became overwhelmed with all of the information that is available.
We met with her for about 45 minutes one afternoon, took her pictures of spaces we had seen online and liked, and gave her a list of our "must-haves", a list of things that would be nice but didn't matter too much, and a list of things we absolutely did NOT want. She kind of thought about things for a minute, and then listed 3 resorts that fit every single one of our needs. She then ran sample pricing from EVERY location our guests would be traveling from so we could figure out what best fit our and our guests' travel budgets. After about a million more questions from me, we finally settled on her initial recommendation, the Beach Palace in Cancun. As we went through the process, any time I had a question, problem, or was just worried about something not being right, she was my go-to person. I'm not kidding, she would answer me in like, less than an hour 99% of the time. She even took my file home one weekend to give me more time to figure something out before she ran credit cards and got it booked. She was a Godsend!

Lia with Lia helped us plan our destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We had a total of 11 people and she helped each of them set up their arrangements. From the beginning she was so helpful and always quick to respond. She made the entire process a breeze. She communicated with the wedding coordinator at the Riu Palace and made sure everything was just like we wanted. We did not have any issues at all, thanks to Lia and all of her thorough planning. Each of our guests bragged on her and said how easy it was to work with her. I would recommend Lia for all of your planning needs whether it be just a short vacation or a destination wedding. She knows what she is doing and will make sure all of your questions are answered and that you have the best vacation.
My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico right off the beach. It was pure bliss, and everything I could have ever dreamed of! I may be biased, but destination weddings are certainly the way to go and thanks to our wonderful Travel Agent Lia Vincent at Vincent Vacations, we were able to find the perfect place! I had the opportunity to be able to edit the straight out of camera photos from my wedding! Here is a glimpse of our wedding day in paradise!
We had the most amazing time at our wedding. Our guests are still talking about what an amazing trip it was! Thank you for your help with organizing this unforgettable time for us, we cannot wait to put our pictures in our new frame!
Lia, thank you very much for all of your help with our PERFECT wedding vacation!
"It was beautiful! Everybody had a fantastic time!"
The staff was wonderful, the rooms were gorgeous, and the food was AMAZING! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and if you have any brides that want a beautiful wedding on a budget, The Excellence Punta Cana would be my number one recommendation. Emy and Livia were fantastic and everything was just PERFECT! Chris couldn't even believe how wonderful it was.
Thank you again for all of your help!!!
Our Dream Wedding!
As soon as Jimmy asked me to marry him, I knew we would want a destination wedding. We love to travel, and we love the beach, so there was no more perfect place to start our lives together than a beach in Mexico!
I am not the wedding planning type, and I knew that with a destination wedding, we could get someone else to plan the details for us. Luckily for me, my friend Lia at Vincent Vacations specializes in Destination Weddings. Lia had taken care of trips for us in the past, and I knew she was the perfect person to help me plan this trip. I was right! She helped me look through destinations, and we found the perfect spot: Dreams in Puerto Vallarta! The package came with a wedding planner, who took care of the details for me. 21 of our friends and family came with us, and everyone loved the resort. Our party ranged in age from 7 to 82, and everyone agreed it was an amazing trip. There were activities for the kids, and plenty of excursions for everyone to choose from. The staff was wonderful, and pampered us from the time we arrived. One of my bridesmaids had a broken foot and was on crutches, and was in a wheelchair some. The hotel staff assisted her anytime she needed it, including carrying her and her wheelchair up and down large flights of stairs. They were amazing! All the rooms are ocean front, with beautiful views. Jimmy and I stayed in the "Preferred" tower, and our room came with a great balcony with a hot tub! Most of our guests stayed in the other tower, but the resort is small enough, this was not a problem at all. They all loved their rooms as well. The wedding planner met with me in advance to work out the last minute details and timing. When our wedding day came, everything went perfectly. We got married on the beach right in front of the ocean. We had a sound system and a dj who played all the songs that we picked out in advance. My Dad is a minister, and he performed the service for us. We had 21 in our wedding party, but it felt like a much bigger wedding because lots of people watched the wedding. You could see people everywhere on their balconies watching, which made us feel like rock stars. We had a Mexican band that played a few songs after the wedding. The wedding came with a photographer and videographer who did amazing job! We took pictures right after the wedding, then we had dinner which also came with the wedding. We had steak and chicken which tasted great. Of course, I also asked them for chips and guacamole. (I love the guacamole in Mexico.) They were happy to oblige. They provided the wedding cake after which was amazing. After the wedding, my husband and I stayed for another 4 days, and it was paradise. I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to get married, or a less stressful way to do it. Thanks Lia and Vincent Vacations for making our special day an amazingly unforgettable experience!
Love the pictures one of our brides just shared from her elopement in Jamaica! Thank you for sharing with us! Did you know we book Destination weddings of all sizes? If it's just the 2 of you or a group of 250, give us a call!
This was the best and easiest decision we made about our entire wedding! Lia at All Inclusive Weddings is the absolute best, extremely intelligent, hard working, and so caring. She truly makes you feel like you are her only client throughout the entire process. We had about 120 people coming to our Cabo wedding and even had to switch resorts, visitors coming from all different states and even Europe. She was calm, and kept the bride and groom calm! Every detail was taken care of and it was made to be the most perfect wedding!
I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work to arrange the hotel and transfers for Ashley and Robbie's wedding. It was perfect and everything that she had ever dreamed of! The resort was amazing! We had great food at all the restaurants. The staff went over the top to accommodate any needs that you could have had! Everyone felt safe and the beaches are beautiful. Since it's more private you don't get the crazy vendors walking the beach trying to sell you stuff. Our family loved it so much and we defiantly will be planning another vacation. You will be the first I call if we need help to organize something! Thank you again for everything
