Wedding Date: May 2021 ~ Resort: Dreams Natura ~ Wedding coordinator: Jennyfer Reyes ~ Photographer: Heber Moran Photography ~ Bridal Gown Salon: Baley’s Bridal Why did you choose Romance Travel Group? We chose Romance Travel Group because we truly felt that Shelli and Heather had the expertise and experience that would be needed to make our destination wedding fun and successful. We had really no experience with planning an event like this on our own, so they put us at ease and we are so thrilled we went with them! What led you to choose a destination wedding? We chose a destination wedding because we had attended one in Mexico a little over a year before and had the time of our lives. All of the hanging out by the pool and beach gave their friends and families so much time to bond and make memories and we wanted the same for our guests when it was our turn. How did you select the resort? What were the deciding factors? We selected our resort in particular because it was a newer build and we had stayed at a different location of the Dreams resort chain in the past. We never actually saw our venue until we got there for the wedding weekend, so it was somewhat of a gamble, but we trusted that the service and food would be great just like we had seen at the other Dreams location. Lastly, we found that the prices they were offering for our guests’ nightly stays were reasonable for all that was included, and the resort threw in some extras for things like rehearsal dinner and additional rooms when a certain amount of people booked.
