Why did you choose Romance Travel Group? 
​
Shelli was so nice and really listened to what we wanted for our destination wedding.  She took the time to learn what was important to us and the kind of experience we wanted to provide to our guests.  She did an amazing job of giving a list of options that met our vision and was always available to answer any questions. 

What led you to choose a destination wedding?

For as long as I can remember, I have always said I want to get married on a beach.  Having a big, traditional wedding was just never something that interested me.  We really wanted a small intimate affair where we would knew everyone who attended and had an opportunity to spend time with those people. 

How did you select the resort? What were the deciding factors? 

When choosing a resort, food and location were 2 of the most important factors for us.  We both come from foodie families and knew that having good food would be important for everyone.  For location, we knew that everyone would be flying in and having a long day of travel and didn’t want people to have to sit in a car for another hour after the airport.  El Dorado had amazing food reviews and was a short car ride from the airport.  The resort seemed to have a good mix of private, quite areas but also accommodate for our party crew!

Describe what it was like working with the wedding coordinator at the resort? What went well? Any challenges?

Overall, working with the wedding coordinators at the resort was a great experience.  We did have our coordinator change 5 times throughout the process but the spreadsheet that the resort used to plan everything was very detailed and had all of our information so there weren’t too many issues with the changing of coordinators.  Leading up to the wedding, the response times are not quick but they typically replied within a week.  Once we got to within 2 months of the wedding though, the response time was much better and any worries I had about that quickly vanished.  At the end of the day, these coordinators are planning so many weddings year round that they don’t need a lot of time to make your dreams come true.

Describe the booking process for your guests. Did they find that to be easy to navigate?

The booking process was absolutely amazing and went seamlessly.  All of our guests raved about how easy the process was and the great communication that they received.  We had a few guests have to change their reservations after booking for various reasons and they all raved about how easy it was to get into contact with the team and make the changes.

Describe the meeting you had with the onsite wedding team when you arrived at the resort. 

Our on-site coordinator greeted us at check-in and then we sat down and reviewed the entire wedding plan.  We went over every detail and the timing of everything for the whole day.  She was able to show us a map of where everything was and give us estimates for how much time we should plan on getting everyone to the correct locations at the correct times.
