Why did you choose Romance Travel Group?
We chose Romance Travel Group because I felt like they cared about their clients and their clients' guests, and I felt really comfortable with them after the initial call, I felt like they knew what they were doing. What led you to choose a destination wedding? I have always dreamt of a destination wedding, going on vacation to celebrate our wedding in Mexico with family and friends has always been a dream of mine, and was the absolute best decision ever. How did you come to decide on your wedding date? Is there meaning behind it? We chose our date based on the time of year. We didn’t want it around spring break time, or high season for hurricanes and everyone on summer vacation. Hurricane season ends in October so we decided on November, and we chose a Monday so people could travel on a Saturday or Sunday. ​Describe what it was like working with the wedding coordinator at the resort? What went well? Any challenges? I really thought the whole process was very easy, we did a lot of emailing and messaging on WhatsApp. In the beginning communication was slow which I was understanding of since they do so many weddings, but I wasn’t worried. The 3 months leading up to the wedding communication was very quick. I would send pictures of my inspiration and they provided everything.
Tell us about your wedding dress – How did you find it? Who went shopping with you? How do you feel wearing your dress?
I went to 4 different bridal stores here in Pittsburgh, PA. I tried on all together about 50 dresses, I wanted lots of detail, lace and beading. Found the perfect dress with my closest friends, something that flattered my body and made me feel beautiful. I couldn’t have been happier with my dress. Describe the booking process for your guests. Did they find that to be easy to navigate? Yes, everyone said the booking process was extremely easy. Describe the meeting you had with the onsite wedding team when you arrived at the resort. The meeting was excellent! We went over every single detail we had discussed over the past few months, and not a detail was missed, they had everything perfect. Were your guests wowed by the resort and the all-inclusive concept? What was their reaction upon arrival? All our guests were very impressed with the resort, food, cleanliness, and friendliness of the staff at the resort. How easy/difficult was it to travel with your wedding dress? Did you carry-it on, where did you store it? Did you get a lot of comments at the airport? Traveling with my dress was extremely easy, I bought a large garment bag I used as my carry on and I also put my husband's suit in there. It fit perfectly in the overhead, and nothing was wrinkled which I was really impressed by. Tell us about your wedding – did you have a traditional wedding with a cocktail hour, dinner reception and dance? What was different about a destination wedding compared to a wedding at home? For our wedding we decided to do a welcome party the night before the wedding, which we had a Mexican style party, we included a live 6 person mariachi band and they were incredible. Day of wedding we had our reception, a friend of ours officiated the wedding, traditional cocktail hour which we had a large charcuterie board for some food, open bar and boozey popsicles which were absolutely delicious, and perfect since the walk to the reception was about 7 min so people had the popsicles as a small snack to walk with. Our reception was perfect! We had the LED light up dance floor which looked so cool. For food we did family style and it worked out great. There was a lot of food, and it was very tasty. We also had the Oh My Churros cart as a snack, the fresh churros and various toppings were incredible! I think everyone needs that at their wedding. We also had La Hora Loca to keep the party going and it was a blast, so much fun. The water drum performance was amazing. Everyone said it was the best wedding they have been to. What was the best part of having a destination wedding? Being on an amazing resort with all our friends and family. In what ways did Romance Travel Group make the planning less stressful for you? Everything they did!! Having Romance Travel Group was the best decision, one less thing to stress about, not having people ask me travel questions. What would you do differently? What advice would you give to couples just starting the planning process? Don't stress, everything will come together, and it will be perfect. Would you recommend Romance Travel Group to other couples who are considering a destination wedding? 1000% would recommend to other couples! A big congratulations to you Inbal & Bridger! We're so happy for you!
