I've been invited to attend the exclusive "Best of the Midwest" event at Sandals Royal Curacao next week - very exciting!!

Besides having the opportunity to experience this beautiful resort first-hand to learn all the tips/tricks for my clients, I'll be meeting with resort staff, checking out wedding venues, and networking with other professional travel advisors.

First time visiting the island of Curacao and I can't wait to share more about my stay with you!

I love how detailed all of Sara and Jason’s feedback is about their beautiful wedding at Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres in Mexico - so fun for me to read about how wonderful their experience was and also super helpful for other couples thinking about having a destination wedding!

Check out a couple of their answers below and read the full wedding recap at:

A) Our biggest concern with a destination wedding was ensuring the safety of our guests and making travel as safe and easy as possible for everyone.

Before contacting EverAfter Travel, we knew we wanted to have our destination wedding in Mexico but we were really struggling to narrow in on a specific region and resort - there are so many options, it was extremely overwhelming and confusing trying to decide what was best for us.

We were also very overwhelmed by the logistics of reserving a room block, coordinating transportation to and from the airport, and tracking our guests travel and bookings.

EverAfter Travel made all this SO easy!

A) Trust the process! Planning a destination wedding looks very different than planning a traditional wedding - the timelines are much farther out, communication with the resort/wedding department is less frequent, there can be a language barrier, and things can sometimes feel more informal because there aren’t always written contracts, formal invoices, etc.

For someone like me who is more high-strung and likes to be in control, this can feel very stressful and uncomfortable. But the resort wedding staff are pros and they know what they are doing - they put on these weddings every day and they will ensure everything goes according to plan! So try not to stress and just trust the process - it will all work out in the end 😀

If you're planning to have a destination wedding, one of your first decisions to make will be whether you should have a legal wedding or a symbolic wedding?

The basic difference:
▪️A legal destination wedding ceremony is legal in the country you get married in and also recognized legally back here in the U.S.
▪️In comparison, a symbolic wedding is not legally recognized at all, so you would need to take care of getting legally married at home beforehand and then you'd have a symbolic ceremony in destination.

Other differences to consider:

Legal Destination Weddings
🔹Performed by a legal officiant
🔹May require you to arrive up to 3-4 business days prior to your ceremony
🔹Need to follow country’s legal wedding requirements (e.g. blood tests in Mexico)
🔹Ceremony may be performed in another language (e.g. Spanish in Mexico and the Dominican Republic)
🔹Typically more expensive - involves legal fees like: the officiant’s services, translation/processing of paperwork, translator for ceremony, etc.

Symbolic Destination Weddings
🔸Can usually be performed by anyone
🔸You are typically required to arrive about 48 hours prior to ceremony
🔸Hassle-free with minimal documentation required
🔸Usually less expensive because there aren’t any additional legal fees
🔸Most popular type of ceremony

It's important to know that each country has its own legal wedding requirements so it's good to decide early if having a legal wedding is a must have for you as this may have an impact on which destination you choose.

Also, besides each country having its own legal wedding requirements, each resort usually also has its own process and requirements to consider for both types of ceremonies as well.

I know this can all start to feel a bit overwhelming, but as your destination wedding specialist I'm here to help you sort through all of these types of details and make sure nothing gets overlooked.

Breakfast with a view at the Cortez restaurant 🏝️

Here’s the description of the avocado toast I had:

Rustic bread, avocado, poached egg, tzatziki, herb salad and cascabel pepper oil

It was seriously soo good!! Been pretty impressed with all of the food here at Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos - definitely above average for an all-inclusive resort.

05/13/2024

✈️ I'm heading to Los Cabos, Mexico this week where I'll be visiting resorts and checking out wedding venues!

These trips are such an invaluable opportunity for me to scope things out in person and establish/deepen relationships with the wedding teams at the resorts.

All of this helps me do an even better job for the couples I work with as a destination wedding specialist 💍

05/09/2024

💍 J U S T B O O K E D !! Brittney and Phil just booked their destination wedding at the all-inclusive Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres resort in Mexico.

They'll be having their ceremony at the gorgeous Sky Wedding Gazebo venue and their reception afterwards will be at the Sky Lounge - it's going to be beautiful!!

We've got their room block all set up at the resort to hold rooms for their guests to make sure a) they won't run into any issues with availability and b) the prices are locked in for them and won't increase as we get closer to the wedding.

Want help with setting up a room block for your own wedding but not sure how it all works? Schedule a consultation call and l'll walk you through everything you need to know! www.everaftertravel.org/consultation

❤️ 🏝️ 💍 It's W E D D I N G D A Y for Gina and Dan!! They'll be getting married on the stunning Bavaro Beach at Dreams Royal Beach in the Dominican Republic.

Gina reached out to me last March and based on everything she and Dan were looking for, I knew Dreams Royal Beach would be an excellent fit.

I helped them arrange a pre-wedding visit at the resort last May where they got to stay for four nights and meet with the wedding team, see the venues, and discuss options for things like their cake, decor, music and menu.

Having the opportunity to stay at the resort ahead of time like this gives couples so much confidence that they've chosen the right place for their wedding and gives them peace of mind that all of their guests will enjoy everything the resort has to offer too.

Congrats to Gina and Dan - wishing them a lifetime of love together!

If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding, you aren’t alone! Destination weddings are getting more and more popular because what could be more romantic than jetting off to a tropical paradise with the love of your life, your family and closest friends to say I do?

But if you’re staring down your to-do list and feeling overwhelmed, ditch the list and call in a pro like me to let go of all that stress.

I can help with choosing your venue, making travel arrangements for everyone in your group, and getting you in touch with the onsite wedding team to make your wedding day one your friends and family will be raving about for years to come.

❤️ 🏝️ 💍 It's W E D D I N G D A Y for Sydney and Derek who will be getting married on the gorgeous beach at Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres in Mexico ☀️

Picture a long stretch of powdery white sand, turquoise water, and swaying palm trees - such a dreamy setting for their ceremony!!

This wedding group loves to go scuba diving and they have family ties to Isla Mujeres (island just off the coast), so staying at a resort north of Cancun was the perfect location for them. They're planning to take a catamaran cruise over to Isla Mujeres which is going to be so fun!

Congrats to Sydney and Derek! Wishing them lots of love of happiness in their life together ❤️

Their ceremony and reception are both going to be on a beautiful oceanfront terrace. And, remember, Puerto Vallarta is on the west coast of Mexico so that means they'll have stunning sunset views as their backdrop.

Not all couples who are planning a destination wedding want to have their toes in the sand.

In fact, I'd say I'm seeing more and more couples choosing other types of venues for their ceremony:

💍 rooftops
💍 gardens
💍 gazebos
💍 over-the-water
💍 chapels
💍 cenotes
💍 terraces
💍 grassy areas
💍 cliffsides
💍 golf courses

There are so many fantastic options!

If one of these matches your vision and would like help finding the perfect spot, schedule your complimentary consultation and let's get started:

Just imagine yourself walking down the aisle here!! 📍Oceanfront wedding gazebo at Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos in Mexico

Look whose jet ski I found on the beach⛱ in Puerto Vallarta Mexico !🇲🇽 I'm picturing a destination wedding couple skimming across the waves creating an epic Trash the Dress memory. 😍 Naomi has been planning amazing Tropical Weddings for couples for 3 decades. What's Your Trash the Dress Fantasy? Naomi Kalata / EverAfterTravel 🌴 e: [email protected] 💍www.everafterwedding.com #Mexicowedding #jesusjetskis #destinationweddings

It’s awesome to have so many options!

www.everaftertravel.org | I’m back again 😎 This time I’m at Dreams Flora in the Dominican Republic - this is a new resort that just opened earlier this year. I’m excited to see the wedding venues in person, check out the vibe, try all the things, and ultimately see which wedding groups this resort would be a good fit for. Stay tuned!

www.everaftertravel.org | Live musicians always add so much to the ambience of any event and really take the vibe to the next level 🎵 This trio did an excellent job during our beach lunch at Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta!

www.everaftertravel.org | Being in Mexico for the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) holiday has been an incredible experience. I’ve learned so much about this beautiful tradition of honoring loved ones who have passed. On this day each year, it’s said that the border between the spirit world and living world dissolves, allowing the souls of the dead to reunite with their families. While there is some sadness, the Day of the Dead is filled with happiness and love ❤️

If you zoom in, you’ll see the set up areas for all the things: ✔️Gazebo ✔️Live musician ✔️Cocktail tables ✔️Private bar ✔️Reception tables ✔️DJ ✔️Dance floor The string lights and unique chandelier-style lighting is even more beautiful IRL. I really like that this venue is a raised terrace (think second floor level) so even though it’s in the center of the resort, it’s really its own separate area. There’s even a walkway “tunnel” with a greenery covered arch above for a grand entrance. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
