My Recent Trips

Recently I visited Las Vegas as a guest of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. As a Destination Wedding Specialist I was invited to observe firsthand why over 100,000 weddings are held there each year!  I discovered that you can have your ceremony performed by Elvis at the Viva Las Vegas Chapel, go high style in the chapel at Ravella at Lake Las Vegas, or choose anything in between. A wedding ceremony in Vegas is only limited by the imagination.   
                                                                       
Weddings in Vegas are custom-fit for any budget, any taste and any couple.   One of the most fabulous venues in Las Vegas is at the chapel at the Mandarin Oriental.  The premier event, the Ultimate Luxury Wedding, begins at $100,000. However, with this package the bride receives a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes and a diamond pendant from Harry Winston, in addition to 2 toasting goblets from Baccarat!  On the other end of the spectrum, one of the loveliest weddings we had a chance to peek in on was a “Sunkissed Love” ceremony at the Tropicana (voted Best Vegas Wedding Chapel 8 years in a row), and packages start at $800.00!   A wedding in Las Vegas is sure to leave any couple with lasting memories.

Once again I had the opportunity to visit enchanting Jamaica which is one of my favorite island paradise destinations!  This was my 6th visit to the island, and was fortunate to visit some of the most romantic and luxurious properties on Jamaica.  It is a perfect honeymoon destination!

In Montego Bay, I visited  "Half Moon" resort, the "Ritz Carlton Rose Hall", and the "Grand Lido Braco". From there we went to Ocho Rios, where we perused the gorgeous grounds and accommodations at the "Sandals Royal Plantation", as well as the newly renovated "Sandals Grande Riviera Ocho Rios."   From there we traveled to the south coast of Jamaica and toured "Sandals Whitehouse", which was a breathtaking property!  After that we proceeded to Negril, an area of Jamaica that is famous for it's laid-back easy going nature and fabulous beaches!  The properties we visited were the secluded  and private hideaway of the "Negril Beach Villa', "Grand Lido Negril",  "Beaches Negril" and "Sandals Negril".
