“From March to September,
Koh Samui, Koh Phangnan and Koh Tao are at their best, while from November to March the Andaman coast is perfect. We’ve been working on marketing campaigns with major bridal magazines and the results have been fantastic.”

“The Indian Ocean weddings programme is currently the best performing for us, with Mauritius leading the way. The whole region has become more affordable with the influx of larger
hotel chains such as Hilton. From 2011 all deluxe weddings will
receive our signature Wedding Carriage Box to transport their wedding attire in style.”
SARAH JACKSON market manager, Kuoni “Sri Lanka is our top wedding destination while
our best-selling honeymoon spot is the Maldives. USA is still a popular choice, especially new york, Las vegas and Los Angeles. Customers enjoy a range of wedding extras, such as room upgrades and candlelit dinners on the beach.”
KATHERINE HOBBS product manager, Caribtours “Caribbean resorts that
offer complimentary wedding packages are selling particularly well for us, including Rendezvous in St Lucia and Couples SweptAway in Jamaica. For wedding couples or honeymooners we can arrange extras to make their stay special, such as a bottle of Champagne on arrival. Mexico and the Dominican Republic are new for us for 2011.”
NATALIE BENNETT personal travel co-ordinator, Off Broadway
“An overseas wedding is perfect for clients who are concerned about the cost of getting married in the UK and who want a smaller, intimate ceremony. Every wedding we have booked has been successful. I always book weddings with companies that I can trust to look after our clients.”
UP CLOSE & PERSONAL BY NICOLE BARTON- WILLIAMS Assistant Manager, First Choice Romford I got married at Sandals Royal Bahamian in October last year. We had the ceremony on the beach under a gazebo on a private island. We couldn’t have hoped for a better setting. We were made to feel really special and our wedding planner was always on-hand to help. Everything was done for us so it was completely stress-free. Our wedding was filmed and shown live on the Internet so our friends and family who couldn’t attend could watch from back home. One of the excursions we did was to take a speedboat out to some of the other islands and we were shown George Clooney’s house! Sandals is a fantastic option for couples seeking ultra all- inclusive with a touch of class.
