Here in San Antonio, we have been working through an unusually cold winter that has us longing for Spring weddings equipped with warmer weather and floral design! Looking back on last year, we still think about how much we enjoyed wedding planning a garden inspired Jewish wedding that brought family and friends from all over the world to San Antonio, Texas. Our Bride and Groom lived on the opposite sides of the country from one another and selected us to plan their destination wedding right here in San Antonio!   Nearly all of their 300 guests were from out of town!

We spent countless hours perfecting every single detail of this large, outdoor wedding.   As with all of our out of town clients, we had several “power meetings” with them when they were able to come to San Antonio to meet.   Then just three days before the wedding, San Antonio was hit with heavy rain, completely waterlogging the original outdoor venue (San Antonio Botanical Gardens) and it was not going to be dry in time for the wedding!   We were faced with having to call each the bride and the groom, who were both getting on airplanes from their different cities to travel here for their wedding, to tell them that the wedding would not be feasible at the Botanical Gardens.   We explained the situation but informed the good news was that we had a new venue that just happened to be available and let them know we felt confident we could make the switch.   They both said they trusted us and let us work our magic.   Our team worked to rearrange the entire wedding accordingly.   It was truly one of those moments where having a wedding planner helped the couple remain stress-free and enjoy their special day!   As we say, we felt the bumps for our client so they could continue to enjoy their wedding.  In the end, we all agreed that the wedding turned out to be perfect and the new venue, the Mc Nay Art Museum, and felt like it was meant to be!  Photos by:  Jeremy Minnerick

Longing for a truly unique wedding destination?  Want to take your wedding away but not to a beach or other traditional destination wedding venue?   Consider Antigua, Guatemala.   Antigua, Guatemala is a Spanish colonial city in Central America.   Famous for its well-preserved Spanish Baroque-influenced architecture as well as a number of ruins of colonial churches.   The city literally feels frozen in time.  Travel is very easy to Antigua via Guatemala City that is just 40 miles away.   There are many things for you and your guests to see and do when visiting Antigua.   Guests can stroll the cobblestone streets and explore the many Catholic churches, visit a chocolate maker, tour a Jade factory or hike up one of the volcanoes overlooking the city for amazing views. Also near by there is deep sea fishing off the Pacific Coast that is approximately 1 hour away, a championship golf course near by that sits in the shadows of active volcanoes, historic Mayan ruins are a day trip away, there are coffee plantations to tour and so much more to do.   Antigua offers many boutique hotels, gourmet restaurants and markets in the small 9 square blocks of the city. The best time to visit is during their dry season which is November-April but weddings are best November-March.   This is a destination that is rich with culture and ready to greet couples and their guests to make a memorable wedding away.    I look forward to returning with my next wedding couple!  photos by Pixan Photography

For me, it started with my days of filming weddings for the reality TV show Whose Wedding is it Anyway? and Married Away on the Style Network….I began receiving more and more requests to plan destination weddings.   Over the past 10 years I have seen the Destination Wedding industry grow and I really don’t foresee it slowing down.    After all, why would it?    When has anyone ever said “I HAVE to go to a destination wedding…” Instead guests who plan to make the journey are excited from the moment they decide to go.   That excitement continues throughout the entire time of their trip.

For the couple, they have the opportunity of going away to an amazing destination and experiencing it with their friends and family which turns into DAYS worth of an experience not just a few hours.

Destination weddings are really very affordable when you consider what couples are spending on average to have a wedding.  Again, with a destination wedding, you are spending this money on days worth of an experience instead of just a few hours of a wedding day.   The value is in the memories you will have during this time at the destination.

When you hire an experienced travel professional who specializes in planning destination weddings, your experience is all the more enjoyable.  Sometimes dealing with vendors in a foreign country can be challenging.  Trying to do that when you are on your lunch hour can be next to impossible.   Some travel professionals stick to handling only the travel portion of planning the destination wedding while others will handle all communications with the resort and vendors making it a seamless experience.   You simply arrive and begin enjoying yourself when you hire a destination wedding specialist to help you plan your wedding away.    Going it alone is doable but so is planning any wedding on your own.  The difference is really the experience you want to have for yourself throughout the entire wedding planning and when you are in the destination.

Bringing your destination wedding specialist with you further insures you will have a smooth experience while at the destination.   Your specialist will be acting as your advocate throughout the time you are at the destination.  Your destination wedding specialist is managing the setup and flow so you don’t have to worry.

It is common for resorts to have multiple weddings occurring on the same day….resort coordinators often have multiple weddings that they are personally handling.  Having your destination wedding specialist with you is the difference from being the most important wedding for that resort planner’s day vs just another wedding.

As your destination wedding specialist we have resources and relationships that we can rely on when the time comes.

We LOVE destination weddings!

Excited for this wedding featured on Glamour and Grace blog!   The venue was The Veranda which is centrally located in the heart of San Antonio with beautiful oak trees and a unique home on the property.  The venue offers lots of charm and character that perfectly accented this day.   We had so much fun planning and designing this day working very closely with our sweet bride.   Creating her custom wedding invites was one of our favorite parts as we really wanted them to tie into the over look for the entire day that the guests would witness.  Check out the wedding featured here on Glamour & Grace!  CLICK HERE
