Why did you choose Romance Travel Group?
We had read great reviews about Romance Travel Group and had two couple friends who had used them for their own destination weddings. After talking with Shelli on the phone, we were confident that she knew what she was doing!
What led you to choose a destination wedding?
We wanted a wedding and vacation all in one. We wanted it to be smaller and more intimate with only our close family and friends. We created memories that we will never forget!
How did you select the resort? What were the deciding factors?
We wanted an affordable, all-inclusive resort in Cabo. Shelli helped us narrow it down to Dreams Los Cabos. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dreams. It exceeded our expectations! The property was beautiful, the restaurants were great, and all of the employees were so friendly. Our couples’ massage at the spa was incredible. The club on property even had a fun karaoke night we all went to on Thursday. It was everything we wanted for our wedding weekend.
Describe what it was like working with the wedding coordinator at the resort. What went well? Any challenges?
Minerva at Dreams Los Cabos was an absolute dream to work with! She was prompt, detail oriented, and always made me feel at ease. I highly recommend working with Minerva. She made our experience so great!
Tell us about your wedding dress – How did you find it? Who went shopping with you? How did you feel wearing it?
I went shopping at Bridal Boutique Lewisville and tried on many styles, but finally said YES to my dream dress with my mom by my side. It was a Maggie Sottero design, a romantic sheath wedding dress covered in lace with beaded spaghetti straps, a sheer bodice, illusion plunging neckline, and sheer back with buttons all the way down. I had my fairytale moment, it was absolutely my dream dress!
Tell us about how you chose your bridal party and asked them to stand up with you.
I took all of my bridesmaids to brunch in Uptown Dallas and gave them mini bottles of champagne with “Will you be my bridesmaid?” on them. We had such a fun morning laughing and sipping mimosas together!
Were your guests wowed by the resort and the all-inclusive concept? What was their reaction upon arrival?
The guests LOVED the resort! It was clean, beautiful, and the views were absolutely incredible.
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?
Our wedding weekend was incredible! For our rehearsal dinner, we had a Bonfire on the Beach, complete with tiki torches, lounge furniture, an open bar, and hors d’oeuvres. It was so much fun. On Saturday, we had a beach ceremony at sunset. Guests then enjoyed cocktail hour on the terrace overlooking the infinity pool and the ocean. Our reception was held outside on the terrace as well. The décor was simple, clean, and romantic with white roses, eucalyptus, greenery, lit candles, hanging lanterns, and a customized dance floor.
To find their seats, guests were greeted with mini tequila shots and lime wedges that doubled as table numbers, “Take a Shot, Take a Seat.” When we entered the reception, everyone shook maracas to welcome us. It was such an amazing night!
Congratulations, Megan and Chase! Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!
