If you're newly engaged, chances are you might have thought that once the proposal bit was over, it would be an effortless flow into your happily-ever-after. Think again!
There's a whole wedding to be planned and, not to mention, groomsmen that need to be reeled in! Fortunately, there are such things as wedding planners, and the groomsmen proposal aspect - well, that just opens the way for bonding, creativity, and fun with your best buds ahead of your wedding.
When it comes to recruiting groomsmen, it turns out there's a method to the madness.
Who knew?
Although you can ask simply with no fanfare, what fun would that be really? Your wedding is an exciting event and should be treated as such - that includes placing the needed emphasis on your groomsman proposals.
If you have no idea where to go with this, stay with us. We've got it (mostly) all figured out, and, by the end of this post, you will too!
We'll start off with handwritten or printed proposal cards. These work well for a groomsmen proposal because you can make these as personal and creative as you would like. The best part? Your groomsmen will be able to save their proposal card and remember this special occasion during which they played such an important role!
Looking for Sandals Resorts travel agents? We offer the best prices and packages, including airfare to and from destination, airport transfers, excursions and activities, travel insurance and so much more.
Handmade items, including cards, have a special feel that lets the receiver know you really did put some thought into them. Your groomsmen won't need to be artistically inclined to appreciate the thought that went into the invite. Incorporate elements that stand out about your friendship, and you'll have a round of yeses in no time!
'I mustache you an important question, and I hope you will say yes!' Who really will be able to turn down a proposal that starts like this? Some mustache-inspired groomsmen cards come with a fake mustache inside the card along with an invite for the groomsman to send a photo back to the groom wearing the faux facial hair to signal his acceptance. This one is guaranteed to fire up some laughs!
Time to suit up boys, it's a special occasion! Indeed, it is, and a card that says something simple like, 'Suit up. Will you be my groomsman?' is sure to get you some prompt responses.
'I know of a great party with an open bar...' and you're invited! Just like that, your groomsmen will be lured in. Chances are, they won't mind a bit that the open bar will be at your wedding reception!
Have your groomsmen take a bit of a gamble with some lottery-style scratch-off cards that are hard to resist trying. In this case, a chance to be your groomsman or best man will be the big prize once they scratch the card, which you can even personalize with a photo of your face!
Would you rather skip the long-winded conversation that can sometimes accompany trying to convince your friends to be your groomsmen? Get a proposal card that says it for you: 'I want you to be my groomsman. Thanks for saying yes. Great talk!'
Your wedding is a big deal. Draft your groomsmen much like you would the members of a special task force, because let's be real... you're going to need a great team to help you get your wedding to run smoothly from start to finish!
Other than lottery-style scratch-off tickets, you can get other types of scratch-off cards to do the asking for you. Choose one that is as unique as your friendship, and make sure there's lots of humor added in!
A great groomsmen proposal idea revolves around filling some gift boxes with neat gifts like shot glasses, a handy pocket knife, and other bits and pieces while including a note asking your groomsmen whether they're down to support you on your big day. Of course, they will be! You can even make a party of it and have them all open their boxes together. The celebration will begin the moment you pop the cap of your favorite booze and put some use to those shot glasses!
Would you rather just get a gift that you don't have to do much shopping around for? Go for a groomsmen proposal gift set that can include things like sunglasses, watches, minimalist wallets, flasks, cigar cutters or holders, corkscrews or openers, and other options all in a keepsake box. You can choose how much or how little you want each box to contain, and prices vary. This is something your groomsmen will definitely smile about - that and your amazing proposal!
Insider tip: Still undecided about where you want to have your wedding? Consider a
Sandals all-inclusive wedding where you can customize your ceremony in the Caribbean just the way you would like!
Pick up some stylish and durable watches your best guys will be able to sport at your wedding and gift them as part of your groomsman proposal. This will help ensure all the guys will be on time for your wedding too!
Insider tip: Look for watches that come in their own eco-friendly boxes, so you can easily give them out to your groomsmen.
Outside of a proposal box, sunglasses might still come in handy. You can get a few pairs for your groomsmen to sport on your big day. This will be very much needed if you're tying the knot with a sunny
Underwear will be an unexpected find in the mail that will catch the attention of your groomsmen to be. Get some pairs that have "groomsman" or "best man' wording on them and include a funny card with your request. Wait by the phone - they'll surely be calling quickly with a reaction!
A good pair of socks never hurt anyone, and they certainly won't do any harm to the friendship you share with your groomsmen. Your invite can either be written on the socks, or in a note that accompanies this gift, but either way, these unique socks will definitely add a pop of color to your wedding!
Personalized cuff links are an elegant gift that works for just about any occasion. They'll serve two purposes in this instance. First, they'll show some appreciation to your groomsmen, and second, they'll add a little zing to your friends' formal wear on your big day.
Pullovers always come in handy, and your groomsmen will get a kick out of customized ones that make your request without having to say a word. There are many different colors and quotes to choose from for your groomsmen's hoodies. You all can think of a fun way to incorporate them into your wedding.
A groomsman gift set is a cool way to gift your groomsmen with a few small items that complement each other - like a pocket square and tie bar combo. You can choose whether to get them all matching sets, or whether you want to give each of your friends something that suits their taste. Include notes in each box to let your boys know what it's all about.
Friends who've stood the test of time are most certainly worthwhile picks to be your groomsmen. You can show your appreciation with some classic pocket watches. Get the watches monogrammed for a personal touch. Box and wrap these up with a handwritten note to make your request!
Ties and bow ties will be needed on your wedding day. You can plan for this in advance by gifting your groomsmen matching pieces that'll go well with their attire on the day. Of course, they won't know that part yet, and will only find out when you drop the big question!
Few things say I appreciate our friendship more than superhero shirts, especially for friends who can't get enough of Marvel or DC movies. You can get a shirt for each groomsman, and you can all wear these under your wedding attire for a Clark Kent moment that will definitely go down in history.
Insider tip: Want to have a vacation and wedding in one? You can have a
free Sandals wedding if you stay at the resort for a minimum of 3 nights!
When was the last time you headed out with your bros to a great dining spot? If you have to think about your answer, then an evening at a stand-out restaurant might be the perfect backdrop for your groomsman proposal. You'll have an amazing meal, and the odds will be in your favor for yeses all around!
Your groomsmen won't be expecting this, but they'll love this box of seasoning options, especially if they're foodies! If you're a bit of an 'underrated chef' yourself, you can even create a homemade seasoning mix they can take home with them along with your amazing news.
A beef jerky proposal is definitely not something you hear about every day, but it's a flavorful present you can consider if you really want to entice your friends. You can make it yourself, or find a premium brand online... Either way, beef jerky with a side of whiskey, beer, or chocolate will be a sure win.
Donuts make people happy, which can translate to automatic yeses for your proposal. This is especially so if the donuts are hand delivered at an opportune time when you can just ambush your friends with the question. This is best done with several donut boxes though, and you can personalize them to cater to each friend.
You can make your own hot sauce or hot pepper oil fairly easily, and your friends just may be curious enough to try it. Why not host a small tasting event around your special hot sauces? This will definitely spice up your proposal. Make sure everyone gets to leave with their own bottle of hot sauce or hot pepper oil - you can even create a customized label with your big question!
A round of 'Chug A Beer' will take you all back to your college days! You can even include customized labels for this option. The names of your groomsmen and your wedding date can be printed on the labels of a six-pack of beer that will then be delivered to their houses. Chugging a beer (video proof required!) is all they'll need to do to let you know that they accept!
Tip: Once you receive all your 'yes' video clips, you can compile them into a fun video that you can share with your new groomsmen team or play at your reception!
Who can say no to a personalized caricature flask? No one, really! All jokes aside though, your friends will appreciate a personalized flask with a creative caricature as part of your groomsmen proposal - it'll be something that will forever remind them of your beautiful, big moment.
Are you and your friends baseball fans? If you are, some baseball mugs made out of real baseball bats will be a good conversation starter as you get ready to ask your boys to stand by your side on your wedding day. Each mug comes with a personal message, so you might not have to say much as the wording will invite them to be your groomsmen in plain and simple terms.
An approaching wedding is as good a time as any to pull some files, which may or may not paint a flattering picture. Pick a photo, any photo of your friends, either individually or in a group, and have the words 'will you be my groomsmen' printed on them in a creative way. Then, get a vendor to put these photos on glasses that you can gift your friends. Choose a few humorous photos or a single photo that will have everyone in stitches!
A few bottles of custom-labeled booze will go down well with your groomsmen-to-be. Not only will you be able to pop the big question, but you'll be able to have a fun evening with your friends that can include barbecued treats or other tasty appetizers.
Personalized shot glasses are a sure win. Gift these in a box set with a pint of their favorite alcohol, or yours. You can all meet up to present the gifts in person, and with everyone in the same space, you'll be able to do a celebratory shot together.
A personalized beer mug, much like a shot glass, will remind you of all the amazing times you've had together. This will be a welcome gift for a crew that loves beer, and while you're all sipping from the 25-ounce stein, you can present your question in a lighthearted atmosphere.
For the non-alcohol-drinking crowd, custom coffee mugs out of the blue will be enough to have them questioning the occasion. After you hand them over, you can sit everyone down and ask them to be the groomsmen on your special day.
A good bottle of wine always comes in handy. For your proposal, you can create a personalized label with each of the names of your potential groomsmen written alongside the date of your wedding. This gift won't require much talking, and your boys will be able to keep the bottle as a memento.
Insider tip: Still trying to figure out a location for your wedding?
Sandals' wedding inclusions make it possible to choose from a range of incredible locations, including anOver-the-Water Chapel !
Personalized footballs offer an opportunity to add some playfulness to your pitch. There won't be any room for fumbles as you put together the all-star team that will take you smoothly into the end zone on your wedding day. Each personalized football can include one groomsman's name, your wedding date, and the role they will fulfill on the day.
Add an exotic touch to your groomsman proposal by including some personalized cigars with labels you can design yourself. Make this into a fun outing by doing something you all love to do together. That way, you can surprise them with the boxed cigars and see their reactions for yourself!
Or you can take things up a notch and get a humidor with cigars for each groomsman. This is a step up in the luxury department, and you can make your request known with a note letting them know you'll all be saving the cigars to celebrate later - as in, on your wedding day.
Toiletry bags will be something your groomsmen might actually be able to use if you're planning an
Pocket knives always come in handy, and you can get some custom ones for your groomsmen as a prelude to your big question. This will be especially well-received if your bachelor event has something to do with the outdoors ... like say, a camping trip. Go big with this gift and get some fancy ones that come with fire starters and LED flashlights.
Weekender bags are one of those items that always seem to disappear when you need them most. Spare your groomsmen from having to hunt for theirs ahead of your bachelor party or destination wedding and get them some custom duffle bags. Include cards asking them to accompany you on your 'next incredible adventure'! Your groomsmen duffle bags can include details on their role in the wedding on the exterior!
One can never have too many bottle openers. Well, scratch that. A person can never have enough bottle openers that actually work right! Get your groomsmen some keychains with credit card-sized/shaped openers, or even 50 caliber bullet bottle openers. There are many fun options that will add to the appeal of your groomsman request and get you a full round of yeses. For added effect, have custom engravings applied!
Having a beach wedding? A monogrammed beach towel will be great for your groomsmen, even if they don't know it yet! They certainly will get the idea when you gift them some great monogrammed towels with all the information, they'll need to figure out what all the fuss is about!
Playing cards always come in handy, and you and your groomsmen can make good use of them at your bachelor party and beyond. You can choose any design to create a custom pack of cards for your boys, and you'll even be able to include that extra special date!
Help your groomsmen stay in tip-top shape by gifting them a shaving kit. Get some good quality kits that will really inspire your team to put in their best effort on your wedding day, like one that leaves room for you to get a razor handle monogrammed, for example.
Luggage tags will be the perfect gift for your groomsmen if they'll accompanying you and your bride-to-be somewhere tropical for your wedding. You can add a cool photo or your friends' initials or nicknames to make this gift a little more personal.
Insider tip: Speaking of traveling, the only thing better than a Sandals wedding, that includes everything you'll need for your wedding event, is a Sandals honeymoon that comes with everything you need for romance! Sandals honeymoon packages include 'a bubbly welcome', special turndown service, a chance to wake up to wedded bliss (including breakfast in bed on a morning of your choice), and so much more!
Some of the most popular DIY groomsmen proposal gifts include wood slice serving boards, leather mason jar sleeves, beef jerky, salsa, homemade hot sauce, shaving cream, framed and customized maps marking experiences, and more. When going the DIY route, you can easily gift all your groomsmen with the same gift, while switching things up a bit for your best man. However, you decide to go about your DIY groomsmen gift project, your boys will certainly appreciate the effort.
Make a show of getting all your best buds involved in your wedding by conducting a playful draft that will let every one of your groomsmen know just how much you value their friendship. It's perfectly alright to take some digs at them even as you recruit them to be part of your wedding team, NBA Draft-style. Be sure to mention their talents and strengths as well.
Caricatures are artistic, fairly realistic, and something you can hold onto and appreciate basically until the paper they're printed on falls apart. Get a custom group groomsmen caricature done and either have it printed out or text it to them as you make the ultimate wedding request.
Compile a special video that will highlight each of your groomsmen in a comedic and fun way. You can go all out for this one and even create a short film asking your buddies to be there for you on your wedding day. When the video is complete, send it to them and wait for the happy responses!
A humorous text message out of the blue asking your friends to be your groomsmen will definitely come as a huge surprise. This is a simple and easy way to get the message across, and all you'll need to do is confirm that each of your guys will be available on your wedding date.
If you and your guys are into golf, you can set up an unexpected groomsmen proposal right out on the green. None of them will be expecting it, and it'll be hard to say no through the huge smiles on their faces.
Go-karting is always good fun, and you can set up a day to head out and make some rounds on the course with your boys. After racing around, stuffing yourselves silly with drinks and food, and comparing race stats, you can ask them collectively to be your groomsmen!
If going to big games is something you and your friends like doing together, you can set this up ahead of your big ask. Somewhere between rooting for your favorite team and downing beers and hot dogs, you can slip in the question about being your groomsmen!
Treat your friends to some great cigars at a cigar lounge as special tokens of appreciation. In this private space, you all can relive old memories... right before you deliver the big news. Ask the proprietor to include a note with their cigar choices that will invite them to be there for you on your wedding day.
The only thing better than the average pub crawl with friends is a pub crawl that ends with one of the bunch - you - inviting your best buddies to be your groomsmen. You can choose a day to meet with each friend or do it all together with a party pass that will give you access to drink specials.
Insider tip: Planning on getting married at Sandals? Skip the wedding planning jitters and enjoy your time in the Caribbean to the fullest knowing your dedicated
Sandals wedding planner has everything under control.
Blazing guns and proposals don't necessarily go hand in hand but taking your friends to a gun range and spontaneously asking them to be your groomsmen will definitely be something they'll never forget.
If you want to get some serious laughs out of your friends, get down on one knee and hilariously ask them to be your groomsmen, much like you did with your fiance! Your friends definitely won't let you hear the end of this, but it'll all be good fun!
You don't have to be a singer to execute this one - in fact, it'll probably be a whole lot funnier if you're not! If you are though, serenading your groomsmen with a song you can write yourself to ask them to have your back on your wedding day will come across as sentimental and well thought out. Either way, it'll be entertaining!
Yes, a celebrity shout-out! Even if you don't know any celebs personally, this is entirely possible. Look into a service that will allow you to get your friends' favorite celeb to pop the question on your behalf. Most of these services work via apps, and all you'll need to do is provide the text and wait until the video is sent to you. Once you receive it, you'll be able to share the wealth with your groomsmen!
Adventure anyone? For old time's sake, set up a treasure hunt where your friends can find some real goodies, and then eventually, a card asking them to be your groomsmen. There's no need to make this challenge hard, just set it up in a casual hang-out spot and include a poster board at the starting point with a clue to the location of the next hint.
Of all the groomsmen proposals out there, nothing will beat asking your friends while on the getaway of a lifetime. There are amazing locations you can head out to in the Caribbean, including islands like
As they should be! Weddings work best when you have people involved who've really been there for you through the good times and bad, and the above-mentioned ideas will definitely help you reel in those special men in your life for your big day!

I wanted to share (with permission) these gorgeous pictures from a destination wedding 2 weekends ago we had the privilege of being a part of and booked by Lia. She chose this over the water wedding chapel in St. Lucia with friends and family there to help celebrate. I love her flower crown and her dress and how happy she is. Picture perfect. Congratulations Kate and Curtis! We are so happy for you!
Lia was very helpful for us in planning our destination wedding to Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We had gone through a few other travel planners first who didn't seem nearly as interested in our needs. We really appreciated the way Lia helped us navigate through some of the complexities, including the local laws of Jamaica and the planning with the resort itself. Even once we got to the resort and ran into a few snags, Lia was able to quickly get those resolved very quickly. We would highly recommend her for anyone planning a destination wedding or any other vacation. Thanks, Lia, for making our destination wedding the most special day of our lives.
Wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming, but if you're planning on having a destination wedding, especially with a large group, I would highly recommend using All Inclusive Weddings!
From beginning to end, they help with every step; i.e., finding the venue, creating a custom wedding website, and booking all your guests. Their office manager, Linze, was very responsive, helpful, and so sweet! Everything turned out smoothly and we couldn't be happier!
Stephanie was our incredible travel agent for our destination wedding! She helped with every aspect, quick communication and AMAZING coordination with over 50 different people over 8 states. Stephanie from the beginning, gave options and talked through so many questions I had. I could not have asked for a better right hand woman! 10 out of 10 for Steph, we could not appreciate & trust her more!
Incredible Agent For Our Destination Wedding! 10 Out Of 10 For Steph!
Such an amazing week of memories,laughter & love! Thankful for our people and truly blessed beyond words ♥ï¸â™¥ï¸
My husband and I worked with the company's owner, Lia Vincent, and office manager, Linze.
Lia & Linze were both very warm and friendly, and from day one, we could tell cared about us as a couple and our destination wedding success, rather than just seeing us as more clients. I get stressed out easily, so planning my own wedding alone was overwhelming, even though my wedding was 10 months out. I ended up working with Linze, and we pushed up the wedding date with a little less than three months to prepare. I was initially nervous about using a travel agent / wedding planner, but it turned out to be a huge blessing, because it took away a lot of the stress and worry I was experiencing. A bride has so many things to worry about, so having someone else bear the brunt of the work and worry about the nitty-gritty details was a HUGE relief for me.
Why spend hours analyzing vendors and reading reviews, when you can have a pro do it? If you want an intimate wedding, if you want to elope, or if you want a huge all-out, go-into-debt-for-years wedding, and if you're in the market for a wedding travel agent, Lia and Linze should be at the top of your list!
The day of the wedding, everything was so beautiful, and so much better than I could have done on my own. Lia's company finds the best local vendors, so you know you'll get great value in your package, and what's nice is her company offers different packages for different budgets. We worked with and met AMAZING vendors! The reception was so elegant that as soon as I entered the reception, I felt amazement, joy, and relief because being the worrywart and control freak that I sometimes can be, it was hard for me to trust someone to somehow make everything perfect. Lia was able to give us the dream wedding we couldn't have done ourselves. Our family and friends were also amazed, and repeatedly told us how great the wedding, reception, and food were at the resort.
I used Stephanie Tindall to help me choose the perfect resort in PV Mexico for where my guests would stay for my destination wedding. She went round and round with me helping me find the perfect location. It had to be nice, trendy, not to outrageously expensive and within a certain mile radius of a marina where my guests needed to go for the wedding. She helped everyone get booked and when things became a little hectic as tracking sometimes can get. She took care of the details. One of my guests had passport issues and she helped talk them through what to do. It was such a relief to have a point of contact for travel related issues so I didn't have to be stressed about it. She did this all with a patient, positive? upbeat and kind attitude through the entire process. I highly recommend her.
Thank you again,

Unico was wonderful and the perfect place for our wedding! It was quiet and the ceremony was better than expected. We had it on the gazebo and it was away from everything, which was great. The photography was beyond our expectations. We have not received our video yet, but assume it will be just as great. I also used the in house vendor for make up and hair, and was not disappointed. The wedding coordinator, Nazareth, was so sweet and on point. We used the local host quite a bit with WhatsApp, which was quite convenient. Food and drinks were amazing. We were disappointed that 2087 restaurant was down for half of our stay for repairs. We ate at Mi Carisa on our wedding night, which was the perfect choice. Service was also best there. We scheduled 2 tours through the hotel, a sunset cruise and Chichen Itza express. The boat tour was nice. Chichen itza tour was too fast and ok. We really appreciate your recommendations and help booking our wedding and stay. It was wonderful! Thank you again, Juliet and Jason
We just got back from an AMAZING wedding weekend yesterday. I can't begin to thank you enough for your help and support during the entire process. Everyone had a great time. It truly was one of the best days of my life and I can't believe how stress-free it was once I got there. Thank you Thank you!
I have never used a travel agent before Lia. I have always been the "I can do everything cheaper by myself on the internet" type person; most of the time, it works great. When my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding, we were not sure about anything - number of guests, length of stay, etc; we also have very demanding jobs, requiring constant travels up until the week before our wedding. So we thought that a travel agent may be a lifesaver; as it turned out, she was. Lia was endorsed as an expert in destination weddings on the American Express Travel website. Although she lived over a 1,000 miles away, I felt comfortable.
As I am not a "girly" person, wedding planning was not my thing; however, party planning and event coordination are. Lia and I treated this "event" like a business and I loved that about her; I needed someone to be truthful and provide honest advice. As it is with my job, I like corresponding via emails because I can have all the information on hand and in writing at all time; Lia always accommodated that, and always very promptly. I'm not talking about several emails over a few months; I'm talking about over the course of over a year. Lia was there to provide support when I had a hard time reach the wedding coordinator; she was there when I freaked out at the resort regarding my brother's return transportation (as it turned out, my brother spoke with the wrong transportation company); she was organized to be able to provide me with spreadsheet of all guest arrival information; she always submitted my requests to Classic Vacation and the resort promptly. James and I cannot thank Lia enough to make everything go smoothly for the biggest event of our lives. All 48 of us had such a great time that we absolutely see another group vacation in the future.

Lia being referred to me saved me so much wedding planning mental anguish! I had tried with a few other travel agents before I had two different people give me Lia's name, and with each of the previous TAs they had to look into things and call me back (I'm still waiting for those calls). Getting in touch with Lia was a whole new experience, she answered all my initial questions in that first phone call, had so many recommendations, and it was obvious she knew exactly what she was doing. By the time we hung up the first phone call, I had decided on a destination and venue (per Lia's suggestion). She was a God send! A year later, we are still having people talk about what a great trip it was and people are always amazed by what a great turn out we had. We ended up with about 60 people, all booking through Lia and everyone had a flawless experience. One even asked for her name when planning her destination wedding a few months later and was just as pleased! Lia told me a lot through the planning process that I was such a laid-back bride, but it really was because she left me nothing to worry about. She answered any question I had, was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and helped me plan the most perfect wedding ever. I wish I could re-live it all again!!
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Throughout the process we felt completely at ease as she handled some of the most important details of planning for this special time. From her first recommendations of resorts and destinations to her help arranging travel for our closest family and friends we always felt grateful having Lia on our side. We highly recommend Lia Vincent and Palace Resorts for your destination wedding!
I am truly so grateful for you and all of your help! Le Blanc was amazing! NOTHING could have been better, except maybe the weather, but the staff, food, and service were above and beyond! We will definitely go back there!! Love, Love, Love you for all of your help - Can NOT thank you enough!!
Our Dream Wedding!
Lia was a phenomenal help from the beginning. She was referred to me by a friend, and I was incredibly thankful that we used her. When we started planning, we became overwhelmed with all of the information that is available.
We met with her for about 45 minutes one afternoon, took her pictures of spaces we had seen online and liked, and gave her a list of our "must-haves", a list of things that would be nice but didn't matter too much, and a list of things we absolutely did NOT want. She kind of thought about things for a minute, and then listed 3 resorts that fit every single one of our needs. She then ran sample pricing from EVERY location our guests would be traveling from so we could figure out what best fit our and our guests' travel budgets. After about a million more questions from me, we finally settled on her initial recommendation, the Beach Palace in Cancun. As we went through the process, any time I had a question, problem, or was just worried about something not being right, she was my go-to person. I'm not kidding, she would answer me in like, less than an hour 99% of the time. She even took my file home one weekend to give me more time to figure something out before she ran credit cards and got it booked. She was a Godsend!

Lia with Lia helped us plan our destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We had a total of 11 people and she helped each of them set up their arrangements. From the beginning she was so helpful and always quick to respond. She made the entire process a breeze. She communicated with the wedding coordinator at the Riu Palace and made sure everything was just like we wanted. We did not have any issues at all, thanks to Lia and all of her thorough planning. Each of our guests bragged on her and said how easy it was to work with her. I would recommend Lia for all of your planning needs whether it be just a short vacation or a destination wedding. She knows what she is doing and will make sure all of your questions are answered and that you have the best vacation.
My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico right off the beach. It was pure bliss, and everything I could have ever dreamed of! I may be biased, but destination weddings are certainly the way to go and thanks to our wonderful Travel Agent Lia Vincent at Vincent Vacations, we were able to find the perfect place! I had the opportunity to be able to edit the straight out of camera photos from my wedding! Here is a glimpse of our wedding day in paradise!
We had the most amazing time at our wedding. Our guests are still talking about what an amazing trip it was! Thank you for your help with organizing this unforgettable time for us, we cannot wait to put our pictures in our new frame!
Lia, thank you very much for all of your help with our PERFECT wedding vacation!
"It was beautiful! Everybody had a fantastic time!"
The staff was wonderful, the rooms were gorgeous, and the food was AMAZING! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and if you have any brides that want a beautiful wedding on a budget, The Excellence Punta Cana would be my number one recommendation. Emy and Livia were fantastic and everything was just PERFECT! Chris couldn't even believe how wonderful it was.
Thank you again for all of your help!!!
Our Dream Wedding!
As soon as Jimmy asked me to marry him, I knew we would want a destination wedding. We love to travel, and we love the beach, so there was no more perfect place to start our lives together than a beach in Mexico!
I am not the wedding planning type, and I knew that with a destination wedding, we could get someone else to plan the details for us. Luckily for me, my friend Lia at Vincent Vacations specializes in Destination Weddings. Lia had taken care of trips for us in the past, and I knew she was the perfect person to help me plan this trip. I was right! She helped me look through destinations, and we found the perfect spot: Dreams in Puerto Vallarta! The package came with a wedding planner, who took care of the details for me. 21 of our friends and family came with us, and everyone loved the resort. Our party ranged in age from 7 to 82, and everyone agreed it was an amazing trip. There were activities for the kids, and plenty of excursions for everyone to choose from. The staff was wonderful, and pampered us from the time we arrived. One of my bridesmaids had a broken foot and was on crutches, and was in a wheelchair some. The hotel staff assisted her anytime she needed it, including carrying her and her wheelchair up and down large flights of stairs. They were amazing! All the rooms are ocean front, with beautiful views. Jimmy and I stayed in the "Preferred" tower, and our room came with a great balcony with a hot tub! Most of our guests stayed in the other tower, but the resort is small enough, this was not a problem at all. They all loved their rooms as well. The wedding planner met with me in advance to work out the last minute details and timing. When our wedding day came, everything went perfectly. We got married on the beach right in front of the ocean. We had a sound system and a dj who played all the songs that we picked out in advance. My Dad is a minister, and he performed the service for us. We had 21 in our wedding party, but it felt like a much bigger wedding because lots of people watched the wedding. You could see people everywhere on their balconies watching, which made us feel like rock stars. We had a Mexican band that played a few songs after the wedding. The wedding came with a photographer and videographer who did amazing job! We took pictures right after the wedding, then we had dinner which also came with the wedding. We had steak and chicken which tasted great. Of course, I also asked them for chips and guacamole. (I love the guacamole in Mexico.) They were happy to oblige. They provided the wedding cake after which was amazing. After the wedding, my husband and I stayed for another 4 days, and it was paradise. I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to get married, or a less stressful way to do it. Thanks Lia and Vincent Vacations for making our special day an amazingly unforgettable experience!
Love the pictures one of our brides just shared from her elopement in Jamaica! Thank you for sharing with us! Did you know we book Destination weddings of all sizes? If it's just the 2 of you or a group of 250, give us a call!
This was the best and easiest decision we made about our entire wedding! Lia at All Inclusive Weddings is the absolute best, extremely intelligent, hard working, and so caring. She truly makes you feel like you are her only client throughout the entire process. We had about 120 people coming to our Cabo wedding and even had to switch resorts, visitors coming from all different states and even Europe. She was calm, and kept the bride and groom calm! Every detail was taken care of and it was made to be the most perfect wedding!
I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work to arrange the hotel and transfers for Ashley and Robbie's wedding. It was perfect and everything that she had ever dreamed of! The resort was amazing! We had great food at all the restaurants. The staff went over the top to accommodate any needs that you could have had! Everyone felt safe and the beaches are beautiful. Since it's more private you don't get the crazy vendors walking the beach trying to sell you stuff. Our family loved it so much and we defiantly will be planning another vacation. You will be the first I call if we need help to organize something! Thank you again for everything
