Bio

Destination weddings and honeymoons are not a sideline of my business — they are my business. I plan beach weddings, elopements, vow renewals and the honeymoon that follows, and I have done the formal training to do it properly.

That training matters more than couples expect. Every country has its own marriage paperwork and residency rules. Every all-inclusive resort runs its wedding programme differently, and the one that photographs beautifully is not always the one that runs a wedding day well. Knowing the difference is the job.

A destination wedding has to do two things at once: it has to be your day, and it has to work for everyone who flies in for it. I handle both — the ceremony and the legal side, the room blocks, the guests who book late, and the honeymoon you slip away to when it is over.

Tell me the feeling you want and roughly what you want to spend, and I will tell you honestly where that works and where it does not.
