This post is brought to you by Sharyn from Sharyn Kaye Travel<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n

Have you ever been excited to visit a place you found online only to be
\ndisappointed when you got there because the real thing didn’t match the photos?
\nDon’t let this happen to your honeymoon or destination wedding.
\nUnless you’ve been to your preferred destination before, you shouldn’t leave this
\nimportant decision to online research; who knows how old the videos and photos
\nare, they may have been taken when the resort was brand new.<\/p>\n

Think about it, would you buy or rent your wedding attire online without seeing it
\nin person? Probably not. It’s important to visit with all your wedding vendors
\nbefore making your selection; the same goes for your honeymoon or destination
\nwedding location.
\nWhat’s the food like?
\nHow far is the beach from your room?
\nDoes the resort require dining reservations?
\nDo you have to wear a wristband (ugh)
\nH? How big is the resort?
\nAre there critters running around the property? Lizards and coatis are cute,
\nbut only from a distance and certainly not in the restaurants!<\/p>\n

Did you know that Secrets resorts<\/a> have a “secret box” for room service delivery?
\nThe staff places the food in the box from outside your room and you access the
\nbox from the door inside your room \u2013 complete privacy.<\/p>\n

This is where our Test Drive program can help you slay your honeymoon or
\nDestination Wedding.
\nWe’ll visit your preferred destination, tour the resorts in a private air-conditioned
\nmotor coach, meet the staff, and get answers to your most important questions.<\/p>\n

Hot Tip<\/b>: Consider travel distance between departure cities and your location; too
\nmuch time traveling means less time celebrating.<\/p>\n

Thinking about a cruise? What a great choice. Taking a cruise is like getting
\nseveral vacations in one. You get to visit different places and only have to unpack
\nyour bags once!
\nYou can get married at sea or in a port-of-call and have an instant honeymoon. Or
\nenjoy your honeymoon at sea in a beautiful suite and be pampered 24\/7.
\nOur Test Drive program also includes cruises.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\nyour anniversary trips.<\/p>\n
