Welcome bags are part of the destination planning. You want to make a great first impression when your guests arrive to the location. Greet your guests with items that are native to the region in which they are traveling to.<br />
<br />
The following items should be included in all welcome bags:<br />
<br />
Map of the Region<br />
Restaurant Guide<br />
Timeline of the weekend activities<br />
Bottles of water<br />
Salty Snack<br />
Sweet Snack<br />
<br />
Be creative in your bag selection, the types of containers varies from tote bags, to white gift bags to gable boxes.<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Destination weddings are probably the most memorable events of all. It allows you to spend quality time with your family friends over a longer period of time. My top reasons to consider a destination wedding:<br />
<br />
The location should be a true representation of your personality. Most couples will pick a location based upon their vacations or the location where they were engaged or even met.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAQLhBpXEP39y7o49x_APWh5kp6Td-BmGaUNdOOJyoof-pa5kSnkS0p4Vw4OwJp-Brdyvrc3rq5gHCWK3-iPQ2pmNNmw4oc1RklPsHE7C3lwkkmCS-x7G9NCoJKmCx-JdY1tYqIYokl7t4/s1600/paris+weddings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAQLhBpXEP39y7o49x_APWh5kp6Td-BmGaUNdOOJyoof-pa5kSnkS0p4Vw4OwJp-Brdyvrc3rq5gHCWK3-iPQ2pmNNmw4oc1RklPsHE7C3lwkkmCS-x7G9NCoJKmCx-JdY1tYqIYokl7t4/s1600/paris+weddings.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The most important people will attend, thus reducing your ever growing guest list by more than half. This upside not only helps with the overall budget but it gives the couples more quality time with close family and friends.<br />
<br />
You are spending the money for a longer period of party time. Instead of spending the money<br />
on a 5 hour event - you will get 3 days of fun with family and friends.<br />
<br />
The destination wedding is a vacation for the guests, you have now taken them away from their day to day routine and asked them to spend 3 unforgettable days away with you. If you give them 9 - 12 month lead time they will be able to schedule their vacation time around your wedding weekend.<br />
<br />
Embrace the destination, if you dreamed of a castle in Ireland, you will experience the beauty of the region around you. Enjoy the culture, experience the food and have fun.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Enjoy the experiences offered at the destination. While in Italy host some cooking glasses or wine tasting tours. In the Cayman island, swim with the stingray, in Hawaii enjoy snorkeling.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Incorporate the culture into the plans and activities. In Italy we love to hire a mandolin and accordian players to serenade our guests, in Mexico you must go Mariachi, in Hawaai, how can you miss out on a hula dance<br />

Grandeur, color, and fun are blended with culture and heritage in all Indian weddings. Indian weddings are probably the most visual of the weddings we have created over the years. They range in size from 100 to over 900 guests. I love to infuse the event with lots of color and texture. Lighting is the key to transforming the space from simple to amazing. Creating visual memories and entertaining the guests makes for the most memorable events we work on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ceremonies are steeped in rituals and traditions that are a feast for the eyes. My favorite wedding was held in Newport, Rhode Island. This was a 300 person event, 2 days party, the Indian ceremony</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was held beneath a gorgeous gold and red draped mandap that served as the backdrop for this</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wonderful couple.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The barrat is the entrance of the groom to the ceremony. This groom arrived via helicopter and then joined the barrat in gold and white dressed horse and carriage that led him to the steps of the venue. He was met by the parents of the Bride, who welcome him to family. The 30 minute entrance was lead by the dhol player.</div>

Typically ,Indian weddings are served either buffet style or family style. The culture is all about family and it it focuses on including everyone from young to old to celebrate with the couple. It is truly a party atmosphere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This particular wedding we did a wonderful buffet with tandori ovens and chef creating dishes right before their eyes. Mango Lasse's were passed as guests arrived and they were entertained </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
by Dandiya dancers throughout the night. We draped the tent in fabric swags in reds, orange tones and had guests seated on low seating with assorted pillows placed around the carpeted tables. The colors were vibrant, fun and inviting.</div>

<br />
Why wouldn't you want to get married at your dream destination, especially if your destination is the Bahamas. Beautiful sandy beaches, crystal clear water, and plenty of palm trees; it's truly the perfect paradise. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the Bahamas, you can choose to go with a very elegant style for your theme, but one of the most popular wedding styles is the traditional Bahamian style. Throwing a Bahamian-style wedding can be very enjoyable since it's very relaxed and easy to engage with your guests.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Choosing the décor for a Bahamian wedding can definitely be more fun and simplistic opposed to the traditional style wedding. Unless you have a separate theme in mind, then beach decorations are always one of the top choices.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you didn't want the Bahamian theme for your actual ceremony, the theme makes for a great welcoming party or wedding rehearsal theme to help get your guests in the appropriate island mood.</div>

When it comes to picking a location and theme for each of your events, there is a wide variety to choose from. When you plan a destination wedding you get to pick the itinerary for the entire weekend. From the welcome party, rehearsal, ceremony, reception, and any other added events; you have a wide array of different options for each event. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the most common choices for a reception, rehearsal dinner, or welcoming party in the Bahamas is a beach-barbeque theme. You can add interactive activities for your guests, enjoy the beach, and taste traditional Bahamian cuisine. </div>

<br />
As far as location choices, there are so many options as to where to have your wedding that you may not know where to begin.

No matter what time of day it is, there is always something to do. During the day there are various activities you and your guests can take part in. From the traditional island activities including various island tours, exploring the ocean, searching for wildlife, or even collecting the famous conch shells it will leave your guests as well as yourself with everlasting memories. <br />
<br />
When those romantic stars begin to shine through the open island sky what better way to take it all in then enjoying the night life. Indulge in the candle-lit dining options or maybe just a cozy up for a classic bonfire. There are even night time tours to fit each individual's needs. Whether you're up for some 'sand mashing' (Anguilla-style dancing) or just looking to 'lime' (hang out); 'bored' is not an option.<br />

Having your wedding in Napa, California may be the perfect choice for you.<br />
<br />
Forget the hassle of everyone needing to get passports. Instead you can still 'get away' to one of the most romantic wedding locations in the country. <br />
<br />
Depending on the season you want your wedding in, starting from September through October is when Napa harvest the grapes for their famous wines. It's not too busy then and you can enjoy the freshly harvested wines. If you want your wedding a little earlier in the year, at the start of Spring is when the famous mustard plants come into bloom and give off an eye-popping, bright yellow color. These two seasons may be something to keep in mind.<br />
<br />
<br />

Napa is famous for their vineyards and abundance of different wines; after all it is called the Wine Country. There are many different ways to explore the vineyards other then just by car. To make it more memorable you can ride a bike, rent a motorcycle, go by horseback, go on a boat, or even use one of the famous Napa Valley Balloons.<br />
<br />
Your guests will love touring the many famous vineyards in the area and will be especially excited for your wedding, knowing there are plenty of attractions here for the entire time they stay. From food and wine tasting, spas, culinary activities, antique shopping, art work, tours, and sightseeing. <br />
<br />
With views of vineyards at the location of your choice in Napa, it will give off the perfect romantic setting. You will feel as though you left the country and will find out why so many couples choose a Napa wedding. <br />
<br />
The vibrant green look at every wedding will give you a perfect picturesque wedding to say the least.<br />
You can choose your location based on mountain backdrops, the classic Tuscan feel, phenomenal vineyards, romantic barrel rooms, modern-style barns, and even vintage estates. <br />

After having your wedding, you have to check out the various activities the Jamaica has to offer. If you're feeling adventurous you could go zip lining, snorkeling, cliff diving, or go hiking on the famous Blue Mountains. <br />
<br />
If those activities don't sound quite like your forte, there are plenty of other things to do for each individual's taste. Try horseback riding on the beach, go shopping at the craft markets, or even catch up on your history and take a visit to the famous Bob Marley museum. There is always something going on whether it's daytime activities or enjoying the night life.<br />

Of course all the glitz and glamour of weddings is always a plus while planning, but at the same time too many people get caught up on the little things and forget what weddings are truly all about.<br />
<br />
As Shakespeare refers to Italy as the land of love, what better way to really feel the love and romance then right in Italy? The buildings and sights alone will put you in that perfect mood for your wedding and help you remember through all the craziness why you're having this celebration.<br />
<br />
Italy is known for its rich history, brilliant architecture, and may just have the best cuisine in the world.<br />
<br />
First Step: explore the sites in the city from the older style buildings to the magnificent gardens.<br />

Since the buildings were built so long ago, the architecture in Italy showed the true talent that many of the architects did have. Detail was extremely important so when it comes time to pick a unique wedding venue you won't find many locations this astonishing that can be found in Italy. </div>

When looking to book a destination wedding, of course one of the main focuses is going to be the views, sights, landscape, and a different feel from what your used to. Not only does Italy include that when walking through town but the actual country and sites you see will leave your guests amazed. There is so many different locations in Italy when looking to plan your wedding that it might leave you clueless as to where you should look first, but I assure you that you can't go wrong with any part of Italy. Our favorite location is the Amalfi Coast, from Sorrento to Amalfi the locations are breath-taking.</div>

To top everything else off, we absolutely love our Italian weddings. The team of experts that we have assembled in Italy makes our job a dream. They're extremely friendly and very helpful. Planning a wedding here is one of our favorites and is always a pleasure. With twenty years experience in Europe we are the experts on Italy. We love to commission boats to explore the coast from Almalfi to Sorrento. Italy never fails to impress each guest and there really is something for everyone to see and enjoy.</div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>One of the latest comebacks: The Gatsby Era or More Formally the 1920's</b><br />
<br />
<b>The Roaring Twenties</b> were viewed as a tremendously prosperous decade for America. From 1920-1929 the nation's wealth just about doubled. With more money it allowed people to gain a pursuit of pleasure, having a little extra cash brought along a major social change. Extravagant parties were thrown and the Jazz age came forward full swing. The Great Gatsby portrays this social life through many of the character's events and honestly who doesn't want to be able to just enjoy a good time with some great company?<br />
<br />
<b>The Great Gatsby</b> is known for these extraordinary events featured in both the book and following movies. Everyone lives for these fulfilling times and forget about the stress that money brings. The 1974 movie was filmed using one of the breath-taking mansions, Rosecliff in Newport, Rhode Island. The construction for this mansion completed in 1902 from the famous architect Stanford White. Stanford White was famous for his homes of the Guilded Age known for the lavish palaces, all the jewels, and the business leaders earning mass fortunes. Rosecliff was modeled after the Grand Trianon, the garden of retreat of the French Kings. This was built for Nevada silver heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs which she herself hosted lavish parties and various entertainment.<br />

<b>Gatsby Inspired Weddings </b>have seemingly been a great new thing. From the entire theme, fashion, food, drinks, even venue; it seems to be what people now are dreaming of. The 1920's decade theme was so upbeat and fresh making it definitely a decade to relive.<br />

<b>Rhode Island </b>mansion weddings are fitting for the unique and diverse needs of the nontraditional wedding. The sights alone give off that romantic feel that everyone wishes for. Whether you want an inside ballroom wedding, an outside beach event, or even both put together; Newport Rhode Island truly has it all.</div>

<b>For the extremists,</b> you can even climb down the rocky mountains and when you reach the bottom swim in the ocean from there. For the nature lovers, the beauty and openness of the area is really very suiting. Lastly, for the brides who are quite unsure of what type of wedding she wants to have, this is a perfect spot to start if you really want to WOW your guests. </div>

<b>Top Wedding Trends: Patterns,
Pinterest, and Projects<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Brides find a variety of sources to fuel inspiration for
their weddings. They find it in film, amongst
celebrities, within the pages of magazines, and on wedding blogs. Brides have been
known to sponge up information that will help them translate their dream into
reality. They cannot get enough of it, and now they are mostly mobile, from the
iPhone to the iPad, they have instant access to finding these inspirations.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve been in this wedding industry for over 20 years and
there are some trends that are re-appearing…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Lace</b> is abundant:
from the gowns to the linens to the
accents. They are using lace to tie off invitations; they are using lace for
tablecloths and for runners. Lace is not only a nod to something that was found
in the homes of our grandparents , but it’s a quick way to feminize and soften
many venues, like a barn. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Stripes and chevron</b>
prints: in an assortment of colors, is also found in invitations and table
clothes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Patterns excite the eye and can
be used for accent pieces like pillows, being carried by a ring bearer. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Food trucks</b>:
pizza trucks, cupcake trucks, taco trucks, waffle trucks… this is way more
intense than your average ice cream truck (which is also still fun to have). It’s
a great way to welcome your guests and use in lieu of your regular cocktail
hour. These trucks are also making an appearance for the after party. The food
truck addiction continues to surprise and impress guests.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>DYI</b>: brides want
to get involved, either by tying bows, making signs or making their own guest
books. These personal touches add to making the day even more memorable. I’ve
had brides make and jar jam, to make the wedding their own.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Social media</b>:
This is not going anywhere. If anything it is playing a larger role in the
bride’s search for the next hot thing. From Pinterest to Vine to Etsy, they
scour the internet for anything that inspires them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Virtual attendees</b>:
That’s right. First there was Skype and now we can live stream weddings. It’s a
wonderful way to include guests or family members who cannot attend. They get a
live feed of the nuptials on their computer and it makes them feel like they
are part of the festivities.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Creative food
stations: </b>Just like the many different food trucks, creative food stations
can be your “wow-factor.” From smores stations to mashed potato station, brides
are getting innovative like make- your-pizza station. Just like brides want to
make their wedding more unique, they also want their guests to make it their
own. You are not limited to food, I’ve incorporated
drink stations, like a mimosa station or bloody mary station, even
step-and-mix-yourself-a-cocktail. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Lawn games:</b> Showing
up at almost every cocktail hour are games like badminton, croquet, baci ball
and corn hole; people are making the cocktail hour more interactive. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Lounge areas</b> with
a defined statement: The poker lounge with poker tables and micro-brewery beers
in buckets (for self-serve). If you are marrying a techie, make a lounge with computer
screens and martinis. You love wine and cheese?
That can be a lounge section paired with fine wines. The possibilities
are endless here.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Unique and unusual
venues</b>: This is my favorite. Brides
are opting for farms, wineries, warehouses and lofts instead of the typical
ballroom space. The venue must speak to the couple and make them feel the
moment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Return of Glam:</b> <i>The Great Gatsby</i> has fueled a generation
into looking for that old mansion where they can gather on the lawn and have a
tent with crystal chandeliers and pleated ceilings. A white carpet can be enhanced
by the flowers accented by crystals.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Even though I’ve planned 100’s of<a href="" name="_GoBack"></a>
weddings, brides are still inspiring me. Like the brides, I’ve soaked up these
inspirations and am always finding new ways to inspire my clients. With that, I
encourage my clients to “Pin [Pinterest] away!”</div>

Brides find inspiration from movies, magazines, tv shows and
celebrities. When Blake Lively was recently married in South Carolina, that
vintage inspired wedding fueled the trend even more.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ceremonies are filled with romance. Rose petals and mason jars suspended from wooden chairs line the aisles. Wooden benches are being used to create eclectic seating. For evening ceremonies, we love to highlight the ceremony area with uplighting and cross aisle lighting, giving the guests a sense of romance amongst the cover of darkness.</div>

Keywords like <i>Shabby Chic</i> and <i>Vintage</i> seem to be the best way to convey these design concepts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More and more<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> b</span>rides are asking for the eclectic look that defines their
weddings. The use of chandeliers throughout the space, vintage china, lace
runners and those rustic wooden tables are being used to create this
look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of us our scouring
garage sales to find the unique elements that create a warm and inviting

cannot keep up with mason jars. Antique tea cups ,mismatched antique china, doilies, embroidered napkins, linen napkins, tea- stained lace, all are what is trending.

Library. This venue is not just
for books, it is for celebrations. </span></div>

building. Once inside the towering
Georgian columns welcome you to this </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">grand
foyer. The library offer multiple locations that can be used for events. My favorite space is the main foyer,
that you enter off Fifth Avenue – the majestic entrance allows you to
embrace the old-world setting or create a hip-chic vibe. The Celeste Bartos forum has a wonderful
glass domed ceiling that makes the whole experience magical. Each event space tells a different story.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bermuda transforms into a romantic place at night. Located
in the Atlantic, the bright stars are visible and give the feel of your own
private oasis. One of the most popular spots is Tucker’s Point. I absolutely
love this location, which has a clear view of the beautiful turquoise waters.
Known as the only 5-star resort in Bermuda, it offers each guest the VIP
treatment they deserve. They can host weddings anywhere from 50 to 120
providing an elegant sit-down dinner. </span><br />

draped in sheer organza to allow the night sky to fill the area. Two palm trees
anchored the tent structure and framed the area. Draping also cascaded from
these points. The overall design concept from the tent was a vision created by
myself and my team. The multiple candle cylinders that lined the pool deck enhanced the
infinite pool.</span></div>

What is fantastic about this venue is that there are plenty of options to host different events. <br />
<br />

<br />
The Ocean Lawn has a breathtaking direct view of the Atlantic Ocean and provides the relaxed feel of a beachside wedding. This space is perfect to host a ceremony, welcome and rehearsal dinners, or even brunch. The Lawn accommodates 100 to 500 guests. <br />
<br />
<br />
Mediterranean Courtyard<br />
<br />
Framed by classical balustrades and furnished with tropical flora, the Mediterranean Courtyard is a dazzling spot for an outdoor cocktail hour, or can be transformed for a romantic ceremony. Reflecting the hotel’s Renaissance inspiration, it was designed to provide sunshine as well and cross-ventilation for many rooms in the days before air conditioning. The Courtyard accommodates 75 to 500 guests. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6418046703151139469" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6418046703151139469" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6418046703151139469" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><br />
<br />
Mediterranean Ballroom <br />
<br />
Modeled after the loggias of Italian villas, the elaborate fresco-painted renaissance ceilings portray paintings of the sky, with large Venetian-style chandeliers and tall, arched windows. The ballroom overlooks the Mediterranean Courtyard, and can accommodate up to 250 guests. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
The Circle Ballroom (One of my favorites!) <br />
<br />
The Circle offers spectacular ocean views, through its 15 ft windows. The soaring 30-foot ceiling has a shallow dome with eight oval fresco-painted murals depicting Renaissance landscapes such as Villa Medici outside Florence, and the famous Tivoli Gardens near Rome. At the center, a Venetian crystal chandelier hangs from a stylized gold-leaf sunburst. The Circle accommodates up to 200 guests. <br />
<br />
Venetian Ballroom: <br />
<br />
This room offers stunning floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the Venetian Ballroom is one of The Breakers’ largest ballrooms. The 25-foot-high space glows with six chandeliers, custom fabrics and golden tones. This majestic room accommodates up to 550 guests.<br />
<br />
<br />
Front Lawn <br />
<br />
Offering guests a garden-like setting with lush, tropical foliage, the Front Lawn is a picturesque backdrop for an outdoor ceremony or cocktail reception. Originally used as the hotel’s croquet lawn, the Front Lawn adjoins The Palm Courtyard. The Front Lawn accommodates 75 to 300 guests.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Gold Room <br />
<br />
Aptly named for its gorgeous diagonally paneled gold ceiling, the Gold Room is adorned with 260 hand-carved cherubs. Niches just below the ceiling contain portraits of Renaissance rulers and explorers of the New World. The ballroom is a replica of a room in Venice’s Galleria Accademia and offers an elegant, romantic setting for a ceremony, wedding dinner, or after-party. The Gold Room can accommodate up to 250 guests for a ceremony and 85 guests for dinner with a dance floor and band.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Magnolia Room <br />
<br />
Originally the living room-style North Lounge for the hotel, the Magnolia Room accommodates up to 250 guests for a ceremony and 85 guests for dinner with a dance floor and band. <br />
<br />
I love finding great spots that don’t require us to use passports (nothing against traveling outside the USA, it’s just a little perk to think “Oh I don’t need that this time”). With daily flights into Palm Beach, this hotel is the perfect destination that feels exotic but remains somewhat familiar. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The hotel is gorgeous, it’s easy to get there but the best thing about this hotel is their amazing team. Their wedding team is probably the best in the business… accommodating, helpful and passionate about their clients. Once you go to the Breakers you will come back every year for your anniversary!! I guarantee it! <br />

The Many Personalities of St. Barths!!<br />
<br />
This unique gem of an island, is an island that one cannot compare to any island in the Caribbean. St. Barth is a french island which creates a cosmopolitan European environment, unlike any other island in the Caribbean. There are no casinos, no high rises and no all inclusives, but instead you will find red roofed<br />
villas dotted along the hillside and small, chic hotels set along the beaches. This charming island is known for its world class cuisine. <br />
<br />
In order to reach this gem you must land in St. Maarten, which is the main gateway to St. Barth (the largest plane that can land in St. Barth is a 19 -seater). You can take the small charter plane or a ferry, which can transport you to the island. The crossing by boat can take an average of 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, depending on the weather conditions and departure point of the ferry.<br />
<br />
Since St. Barths is a French island, French is the official language of the island. However, English is widely spoken at the resorts, shops and restaurants.<br />
<br />
What makes this island unique is the types of properties and restaurants that is is has to offer. You will find the five star luxury hotels from Eden Roc to Isle De France to a more relaxed vibe of Le Plage at Tom Beach Hotel. Le Plage is a fun, relaxing seaside restaurant, where you enjoy the beauty of the beach and<br />
watch the planes land literally right over your heads (you can almost feel the wind as it passes by) and you can certainly hear them screeching of the tires as the plane touches down. Or you can rent one of the many villas that dot the hillside and enjoy the beauty of island from your perch atop the sea.<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: 12pt;">Here are some more helpful hints to hosting an at-home event, and if you’re planning on
making a call to an event planner to handle the details for you (this may be
the most cost-effective and hassle-free way of handling an at-home party)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Location:</b>
First, take a look at your home and property and decide if
it’s equipped to handle the size of your party. Are there spacious rooms
like a living room and den where people can gather? Will there be
enough space for tables and chairs? Will you have to remove furniture to
fit the rentals, and if so, do you have a storage space available? Where would
a buffet table go? A bar? Have a planner map out your home to see where
everything would fit, allowing for plenty of walking space for guests. Remember
to allow space for servers to pass through. If you plan on having musicians or
entertainment, keep that in mind for space. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Tented:</b> If
you’re envisioning an outdoor-tented wedding, be sure your backyard is spacious
enough for the tent that covers tables and dance floor. You don’t want to get
too small of a tent and have some tables outside of the tent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Bathrooms:</b> Keep
in mind that two or three bathrooms in your house will not be able to handle
150 guests. Renting portable bathrooms is advisable. There are even bathroom
trailers that are modeled after household bathrooms. Also make sure you know where the septic system sits and BE
SURE to have it pumped right before the event.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Kitchen:</b> Is
the kitchen capable of producing an event in a timely manner? Caterer’s
trays are often oversized, so they need to have access to ovens and
refrigerators that will accommodate them. A hired caterer will want to tour
your kitchen ahead of time to be sure he/she can work well there. He/she will
want to make sure that there’s plenty of counter space for staging and plating.
They may require you to rent a separate tent in the yard where they will work
their magic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; font-size: 12pt;">If you have a small
kitchen, do not worry; a great caterer can produce magic from the garage
or a cook tent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Tents are an empty canvas ready to be painted by the vision created by the couple. Tented weddings are, by far, my favorite weddings. As a planner you may feel like a general contractor building a home because there are so many things to consider when planning a tented wedding.<br /><br />When you consider a tented wedding the cost of these types of weddings are usually more expensive than the ballroom wedding or destination wedding.<br /><br />The following are some of the areas to consider:<br /><br />1. Parking situation<br />2. Location of the septic system<br />3. Rain contingency plan<br />4. Sound ordinance of the area and don’t forget town permits<br />5. Level land<br />6. Bathroom situation<br />7. Power hookup<br />8. Lighting of the event site and surrounding areas<br />9. Bug spraying the land<br /><br />Each tent should be treated as a separate entity from the existing house because most clients don’t want people walking in and out of the house.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaPldCd2b4uaIqpUuOYuf48brMumVwVRTxCJGyf5nXDq7GhOexfvRJ7-oj9xOgBvZlCyDyYvMO7jxoSDwafuyxSXARiyH2ElEK0jDo3oZRa0uajnWP90rnAQ9_9btIXY5RLwWsSqUbdQJi/s1600/KE4D1602-9480%25C2%25A9Hechler.jpg"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaPldCd2b4uaIqpUuOYuf48brMumVwVRTxCJGyf5nXDq7GhOexfvRJ7-oj9xOgBvZlCyDyYvMO7jxoSDwafuyxSXARiyH2ElEK0jDo3oZRa0uajnWP90rnAQ9_9btIXY5RLwWsSqUbdQJi/s320/KE4D1602-9480%25C2%25A9Hechler.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693863037241088386" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEQN5bktuRAFq12H4KEFLMZRsLQ9mFLgG6yTgrAfCjLgMjowocjYqpXGfL5yxwc5P_ARNebmF8WKNmi2PRXQ0QFwhIR1eKxY4n1BnnDkBgAZiGl1EQzFK6O5wW1AwahHNON13aek4Yhip2/s1600/898-9480%25C2%25A9Hechler.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEQN5bktuRAFq12H4KEFLMZRsLQ9mFLgG6yTgrAfCjLgMjowocjYqpXGfL5yxwc5P_ARNebmF8WKNmi2PRXQ0QFwhIR1eKxY4n1BnnDkBgAZiGl1EQzFK6O5wW1AwahHNON13aek4Yhip2/s320/898-9480%25C2%25A9Hechler.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693863051279408834" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 317px; height: 320px; " /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPBbhwUzFbjsGmGqGiCOeyqX4snXNLqnotTRylhW5zmDeh9xzg_xrvXpCxtVASKrgOtvfzIGo5pjibd49zeYPHeHSO2z4f9xB5SoeGsL8N6ApeO_v4ath3Jba-nR3JrF1WhJWzubuqqGAp/s1600/KE4D1599-9480%25C2%25A9Hechler.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPBbhwUzFbjsGmGqGiCOeyqX4snXNLqnotTRylhW5zmDeh9xzg_xrvXpCxtVASKrgOtvfzIGo5pjibd49zeYPHeHSO2z4f9xB5SoeGsL8N6ApeO_v4ath3Jba-nR3JrF1WhJWzubuqqGAp/s320/KE4D1599-9480%25C2%25A9Hechler.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693863031742932274" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span ><u><br /></u></span></div><br />My biggest challenge for a tent installation was a campground in the woods of Maine - where I had no running water or electricity. We literally had to build the site from ground up and bring in water tanker trucks to support the event, along with generators and pathway lighting to get the guests from point A to point B without getting hurt.<br /><br />Tented weddings give freedom to the couple with design, themes, and other details. You don’t have to worry about an ugly wall color. You can choose any theme and put it under a gorgeous clear-top tent, which is great for stargazing. Tackling the scary tented weddings can be a handful, but knowing the things I’ve mentioned earlier will definitely help with the research. These weddings are always beautiful and stunning, and will probably always be my favorite. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijp_szeuMv8zfguKY1C9OmNWOqfcYcExZ-q5x0vJd0MuQ8uosHaz6-bQGItIJ4-V6x3nchQfsKLsz33s0znFlNmjfVH_4xkcMooUesf29peQZqu171I95TX1XKvwwZPMSK2-cuLjzTJ8yT/s1600/100925URKJES0075.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijp_szeuMv8zfguKY1C9OmNWOqfcYcExZ-q5x0vJd0MuQ8uosHaz6-bQGItIJ4-V6x3nchQfsKLsz33s0znFlNmjfVH_4xkcMooUesf29peQZqu171I95TX1XKvwwZPMSK2-cuLjzTJ8yT/s320/100925URKJES0075.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693864971703946450" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px; " /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgugHitt-IZjqcDew1RFLLKOWZkvCX90WxR5qcgSMFkAsZl7K9GSleD_TSOnuMWlkvECeSDg-_xR3SFjYPjlEWW32fCKUX_Pl9gxJPOiPajD2TYP8OkVWlsA1tpspmKWaNYH1rhnPaffsqm/s1600/267.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgugHitt-IZjqcDew1RFLLKOWZkvCX90WxR5qcgSMFkAsZl7K9GSleD_TSOnuMWlkvECeSDg-_xR3SFjYPjlEWW32fCKUX_Pl9gxJPOiPajD2TYP8OkVWlsA1tpspmKWaNYH1rhnPaffsqm/s320/267.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693864964362928450" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicNadOCTvzf6CyZ2AocLPB-z-hvYbHIAx1WK8QQkQlCT-zpgcGba2maPjL1OCKNdpcIhBaGbYgg1NQf4-9q9baBf7DSjfLcn_JxLlHIi75DsjR_Q8XcLghaKcJlmwC1-Cd6AY29YzaL2JS/s1600/conason_1733.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicNadOCTvzf6CyZ2AocLPB-z-hvYbHIAx1WK8QQkQlCT-zpgcGba2maPjL1OCKNdpcIhBaGbYgg1NQf4-9q9baBf7DSjfLcn_JxLlHIi75DsjR_Q8XcLghaKcJlmwC1-Cd6AY29YzaL2JS/s320/conason_1733.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693864955277601090" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 230px; " /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span ><u><br /></u></span></div></div><div><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08553378600469880289noreply@blogger.com0
