SCOTISH HIGHLAND WEDDING!
Ever dream of a wedding in Scotland? Kerri Lapointe and Michael Webber actually did it!
And with style I might add. Check out that great kilt. See what the mother of the bride says about a Destination Scotland Wedding!!!
I don't know if I can explain how wonderful it was to have a destination wedding. No one was driving, everyone was right there in time for the ceremony and the party. The most stressful part was hoping our clothes still fit on the wedding day, after enjoying great food and drink for 4 days before.
Scotland was most hospitable. The rules to marry were very clear, and before leaving the USA we had all confirmed papers, and it was just the ceremony and the wedding certificate left when we got there. WE spent some time in Edinburgh before going on to the Castle in Peebles. We stayed in a hotel that was in the middle of the shopping area and a very short walk up to the Royal Mile. Our hotel rooms looked out onto Edinburgh Castle. We had an easy 30 minute drive south to Peebles and up the driveway to the Castle. There were 3 B&B's along the driveway, so the overflow of people stayed there and could walk up the hill for dinner at the castle. The castle rooms are priced to include breakfast, and an allowance for the evening
meal. It was a terrific bargin. The food was exceptional! Each room in the castle is named for a Scotch, and we all tried the one that corresponded to our rooms. WE had drinks before dinner in the Library each night, and usually a nightcap after.
It was a most romantic and gracious place for a wedding and for a stay. Destination weddings are held in many wonderful places, not just warm climates. WE felt it was a wedding for a Princess and we were all treated like Royalty.

RIU GUANACASTE
Wedding date: Feb 18 2012
Hello Sara,
I hope this message finds you doing well!
We had an amazing trip and a perfect wedding day. Could not have asked for a better place to be for our special day with so many of our friends and family. Thank you for helping us make it all happen. We did a number of the excursions including jungle-top ziplining, a catamaran cruise where we saw whales and dolphins, and a great beachfront horseback ride. Also saw baby, sea turtles being born on the beach; priceless. The weather was gorgeous and the pools were great.
Thanks again,
Brett May
Hi Sara,
We had an amazing time, the resort/people far exceeded our expectations and were really great to us! The food was great, we had a ton of fun at the pools and beach everyday. We did ziplining and a boat trip where we saw dolphins and whales.
Everything you setup in advance went smoothly, which was a huge stress relief. The wedding itself was beautiful at sunset and the pictures tell it all!
Thanks again for everything, it really was a trip of a lifetime!!

LAS VEGAS
LAURA AND JEFF'S WEDDING
Hi, Mary, here is a picture of Laura and Jeff just after finishing their vows on the Ponti el di Piazza in St. Mark's Square at the Venetian. It was absolutely beautiful. The people at the Venetian took very good care of us and tended to our every need. I would recommend it to anyone. We found hiring a limo to meet us at the airport to be not only a lavish way to get to the hotel, but also quite affordable. It cost $38 per hour so we hired for 2 hours and picked up the tuxes, went downtown and got the license and dropped the bride a groom off at the Venetian and us at Imperial Palace for under $100 including tip. The fellow was really nice and offered to return us to the airport when we left for $18!!!!! Can't beat that. Packed our bags, went downstairs and the limo was waiting! So thanks for all your help and here's a picture of the happy bride and groom who are all gung ho for another cruise soon!!
Talk to you soon. Louise Schultz

Hi Gayle,
 Our entire group had a blast. We can not wait to go back!! The wedding turned out fantastic and all of the staff was very accommodating. The weather was great even though it rained a couple of times but we were not bothered by it one bit! We didn't end up going on any excursions.....mostly hung out at the beach and swim up bar area! I could not have asked for a better trip!! My friend is working on a disk with all of the wedding pictures (he was our personal photographer). We have a great group picture so as soon as I get those I will forward you a few pictures.
Thanks again for everything!!! Have a wonderful holiday!!

BRIDE ADELE AND GROOM KURT
Hi Gayle-
We had a fabulous time in Jamaica! The wedding and all of the staff were wonderful!! All of our guest had a blast! They gave us the champagne reception for everyone also which was a nice little bonus!
We weren't expecting it, but it was set up so nicely and a nice time for our guests to cool off a little after they sweat their buns off during the ceremony.
Kurt and I are already planning on going to another Sandals in 5 years-maybe Bahamas or a different city in Jamaica. (the whitehouse looks awesome!!)
Thank you for all of your help along the way. Everything worked out perfectly just like you said it would.
Thank you again,
Adele Kujawa

SANDOS PLAYACAR
Hola! Gayle
Oh my gosh... The wedding was AMAZING! We LOVED Sandos! They were absolutely awesome and upgraded all of our guests in the adults only area. We were so happy with the wedding coordinator, the photographer, the salon for our hair, and the resort! We couldn't have asked for anything more! I really appreciate all of your help with everything! We had a great time and everything turned out beautiful!
I would definitely recommend the resort to anyone who is planning a destination wedding!
Thank you so much, Gayle!

MOON PALACE WEDDING
Hi Gayle,
Mexico was absolutely perfect. I can't wait to go back. The Moon Palace staff was very friendly, and the resort was beautiful. It was great for the whole family, so many pools to choose from. The only downside for us was the beach. There was a ton of seaweed everywhere, and the water was green like a lake. Just not the tropical turquoise we were expecting, besides that it was wonderful!
Thank you so much for all of your help with our wedding. The Moon Palace was the best choice for our wedding, and we are so happy with the trip. Hopefully we can make out there again sometime.

PUERTO VALLARTA WEDDINGS
RIU JALISCO PUERTO VALLARTA
Kristen and Kevin Linzmeier of Brookfield traveled with their family and friends and got married in Puerto Vallarta at the RIU JALISCO.  
WEDDING AT THE MARIVAL RESORT
Kurt and Missy's Wedding was held at the Marival Resort .....but the group stayed at another resort! See anything is possible!
Kurt Wegner and Missy Ramsdel were married before the NEW YEAR in Puerto Vallarta! This couple wanted an intimate wedding at sunset with just immediate family to witness their big day!
It only took them about 11 years to finally tie the KNOT! But when they took the plunge they did it in style. A really large reception was held in summer at Missy's sisters and brother in laws house in the yard. The party was a blast and so was the FIREWORK DISPLAY!!!
A Sunset Wedding dream come true!

This picture above is Jon and Kelly Ours. They had a destination wedding on Maui but they also took some time to visit the Big Island and Oahu.
Hi Mary,
I just got the newsletter and saw the clip about Jon and I in there. I am sure you guys probably like to see the wedding pictures of success Destination Weddings and ours was a HUGE SUCCESS. Thanks again for putting up with all of my indecisions and inability to decide on anything. You really made our wedding great and it was all so easy for us and all of our guests. Thanks again!!!

GET MARRIED ON THE GARDEN ISLAND OF KAUAI
Lisa Palmquist and Christopher Trapp were married in Kauai!
Gayle, the wedding was beautiful and just what the kids wanted. We have lots of pics but I don’t have them on my work computer.
The wedding coordinator you suggested, I think, was just wonderful. She had everything perfect and arranged for the nicest Judge, photographer and musician. The kids commented they wished the day would have lasted longer because it was so perfect. I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone.
I liked Kauai so much more than Oahu. Oahu is too commercial, especially Waikiki. We did tour Pearl Harbor, very emotional, and did the circle island tour but I don’t think I’d go back. Kauai is how I picture the islands. I wish we would have spent more time there and less time on Oahu.
Thanks again for all your help.
Sue (MOTHER OF THE BRIDE)
Kauai Wedding!
Patrick Cressey and Sarah Butters from West Bend tie the knot in beautiful Kauai!
Patrick said the wedding was fantastic! They were thrilled and said the job the wedding coordinator (that Gayle found) from Kauai was great to work with. They were so happy with everything including the wedding and it all went perfect. There was a lot of anxiety, questions and certainly anticipation that the wedding would be perfect and it was! The Marriott Kauai that they stayed at was awesome. The rooms were huge and private, just what they were looking for. The Marriott has the largest beautiful pool with all the fountains and jacuzzi's, great beach and everything you need is right there within walking distance. They are already planning their next anniversary trip back to Kauai!

Mother of Brides and Grooms speak out:
Mother of Bride ...Jeannie Cruz says this about the picture.
Jeannie told Gayle that her daughter Tianna Lopez and Mark Kliewer's wedding was beyond beautiful. A DREAM COME TRUE! The wedding was gorgeous and everyone had a good time. The wedding was at the Riu Negril in Jamaica.
Mother of the Bride says:
 Oh Gayle … I can’t thank you enough for taking the time that Sunday to find Kelly’s dream wedding location … it was everything she wanted!!! You were so very sweet that day and I’ll never forget the look on your face when you were checking the price on Excellence Punta Cana and said you couldn’t believe how low it was and told Kelly about the horse drawn carriage. Her photographer was AMAZING … we haven’t even seen the trash the dress photos, and by the way the photographer was dropping to the ground to catc h the angle of the waves coming up behind Kelly & Dan, I’m sure they will blow our socks off!!! Thanks again so very much for being so sweet and dealing with me panicking on a Friday night when you should have been out. Take care and I look forward to working on another vacation sometime in the future. Heidi
