From the beginning, she was very thorough in our initial consultation & truly understood what we were looking for when it came to our wedding venue (admittedly a little difficult as we were looking for an all inclusive that allowed children ). In no time at all, she had a list of resorts we might like. She helped book all of our guests (40ish) & communicated on my behalf with the resort & wedding coordinator to reserve our package, communicate other details & arrange payment. Even after arriving to the resort, she was quick to fulfill requests or answer any concerns that I had. It felt amazing to not have to stress these details! It truly felt like I had a close family member, watching my back and looking out for my best interest. The resort itself was immaculate! The food was amazing, drinks were flowing & there was something for everyone. Beyond our wedding day, we cared most about the satisfaction of our guests, so we were absolutely ecstatic to find out our guests LOVED the resort just as much as we did! Now the best part: Our Wedding Day!! It was absolutely wonderful! Beyond anything I could’ve imagined. Everything from start to finish was a literal dream come true!! To sum it up, I would recommend Linda (known to me now as Mama Bear) to anyone in search of a stress-free wedding planning experience. Thank you for helping make our dreams come true!

I would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking to take the stress out of planning your vacation. She was patient with us and found the perfect place for my wife and I to renew our vows. Couples Tower Isle was amazing from the food, the staff, and quiet atmosphere. Linda was there every step of the way. We will definitely use her again!
