THE VOWS GO ON AT THE 8TH ANNUAL JAMAICA BRIDAL EXPO
Sandals Resorts International’s Director of Romance virtually instills confidence in attendees looking at destination weddings and honeymoons in Jamaica
As we enter the season of love, one thing remains truer than ever before. Love isn’t cancelled… especially not for brides and grooms looking to tie the knot in Jamaica this year! 
 
This past week, Sandals Resorts International’s Director of Romance, Marsha-Ann Donaldson Brown, weighed in at the 8th Annual Jamaica Bridal Expo to - virtually - instill confidence in destination brides and wedding professionals by showcasing how Sandals® Resorts is making it possible to get married in paradise. With the Weddings Platinum Protocols of Cleanliness in place across all resorts, including the five Sandals and two Beaches® Resorts in Jamaica, brides and grooms can have their destination weddings and honeymoons free of any worries.
 
“Whether there are changes in or out of season, one thing that remains constant, is love! We believe now more than ever that love is that central magnet that has kept everyone together, and we know it cannot wait,” said Marsha-Ann Donaldson Brown, Director of Romance at Sandals Resorts International. “We know that now more than ever, you want more assurance from us.”
 
Various industry experts hosted sessions on Destination Weddings, Wedding Trends of 2021, How to Book Online, and more. In Marsha-Ann’s virtual session entitled “The Vows Must Go On,” she detailed every aspect of Sandals and Beaches Resorts, including their stunning locations in Jamaica, and how the resort company has elevated their already industry-leading health and safety standards to ensure a safe destination wedding and honeymoon experience. Marsha-Ann spoke in-depth about the Sandals Platinum Protocols of Cleanliness, the complimentary on-site COVID-19 testing for all departing flights to the U.S., Canada and the UK, and the hyper-personalized service couples receive through the Weddings Platinum Protocols of Cleanliness. Other important topics the Director of Romance touched on included:
 
  • Unique Settings for Ceremonies – Including the dreamy, open-air Over-the-Water Chapels available to couples in three locations in Jamaica: Sandals Montego Bay, Sandals Ochi and Sandals South Coast
  • Sandals’ Virtual Wedding Design Experience – Sandals Resorts wants couples to feel like they are “there” when planning their wedding, so couples can meet with their wedding planners virtually and look at the host of wedding options available including designs, décor, accessories, accents and everything in between, right from a beautiful showroom.
  • Elaborate Elopements – For intimate destination weddings options such an elopements, there is no difference in the flavors and elements you can have for two people in love. The possibilities are fully customizable and endless!
  • Complimentary Wedding Ceremony Live Stream Service – With more intimate celebrations taking place nowadays, Sandals Resorts wants to ensure that a couples’ friends and family can still witness their big day – right from the comfort of their own home! 
 
According to Donovan White, Jamaica's Director of Tourism, "One of the major trends we are seeing is couples opting for smaller, more intimate ceremonies. What remains unchanged is a bride’s desire for a stunning, unforgettable venue, with exceptional service and exquisite attention to detail,” White said.
 
Couples are looking at industry experts like Marsha-Ann Donaldson Brown and Sandals Resorts to give them the confidence they need for their vows go on. As Jamaica continues to be a popular destination weddings location, Sandals and Beaches Resorts are actively touting their Customizable Weddings program and of course, the best suites to kick-start your honeymoon in after saying “I do.”
 
“Whatever you do, remember that love is all you need, and love is waiting for you at a Sandals Resorts,” concluded Donaldson-Brown.
 
The Jamaica Bridal Expo is a destination wedding event that brings the best Caribbean wedding professionals together into one setting.
