I can't thank the team at Sandals enough for making our wedding the most memorable, stress-free and romantic time of our lives. We invited 21 guests to the resort with us and chose to do the free wedding with a few upgrades, including the Wine Makers menu, which is a 6-course meal with wine pairings, and a few pieces of decor such as charger plates and extra lighting. We were assigned Niquet and Jodia as our pre-wedding planners leading up to our arrival. In the year before the wedding, we had a few conference calls where Niquet guided us through all the decisions and associated costs for our wedding, providing all the necessary documents and clear instructions. She was always accessible via email for any questions and answered promptly. Closer to the wedding, we worked with Jodia who confirmed all the details and made sure we had checked everything off before arrival. Once we arrived onsite, we were greeted by the wedding planning team who provided us with our appointments for meeting with our onsite wedding planner, Ashandie. Everything was so automatic and easy - we really just had to show up! Ashandie was PHENOMENAL!! She took us to a few locations around the resort so we could select where we would have the ceremony (we chose to do it on the beach on the far end of the property for a bit more privacy, which was perfect!), our private welcome dinner (we did it on the pool deck at sunset and it was gorgeous), and our reception dinner (we did this on the sand volleyball court by the beach, which was also so perfect). She also went above and beyond to schedule another dinner for our guests on the day they arrived at Kimonos, which we hadn't planned on but was truly a great ice-breaker for our families and friends to meet. And she created a beautiful itinerary that she slipped under the doors of each our guests when they arrived so everyone had the most up-to-date schedule and location of events. It was beyond professional and accommodating. We didn't have a rehearsal of the ceremony but again, we had nothing to worry about as the officiant provided all the instructions to everyone throughout the ceremony, from when our parents should come up, to the exchange of the rings and our vows (we chose to write our own), to the sand ceremony and signing of documents - everything! We barely had to think! Christian managed the welcome dinner and reception dinner beautifully, always ensuring all the plates were delivered hot and in sync so no one had to wait very long for everyone to be served. He choreographed the dinners perfectly and we're so grateful to him for managing all the details so well. We also didn't provide a list of songs but the DJ read our group and chose the perfect songs based on how our guests were reacting to the music and special requests they made. He managed to get us all up and dancing at the end of the dinner - it was such a great way to end the wedding! We also stayed at the resort after the wedding for our honeymoon and throughout the week we were there, Ashandie occasionally called to check up on us and ensure we didn't need anything - it was beyond any service I've ever experienced - so thoughtful! Our guests raved about the whole experience, from arrival to the wedding, and beyond. This was far and beyond the best service, food, hospitality and professionalism I've ever experienced! I can't believe how stress-free the whole experience was and how beautiful everything turned out. I HIGHLY recommend this resort for a destination wedding - the team here really knows what they're doing and are clearly experts at every detail. I also want to give a shout-out to "Michael the Poet" who was an amazing server at the Royal Cafe restaurant and was incredibly funny and friendly. He made us all laugh with his singing and was a joy to see at the resort each day. Quite literally, every single staff member at the resort was incredibly friendly and approachable and very helpful. You could walk up to anyone with a question and they would help you happily. This was truly a 5-star resort through and through.
