Ok… for sure this is a pinch me moment.   The Ritz Carlton an incredibly well heeled and well regarded chain of hotels and resorts has just announced “Free Weddings”!!! 

So does that mean that you should now run and call the Ritz Carlton as fast as your fingers can dial… NO!  The Ritz Carlton is not for everyone.  How do I know that?  I am a wedding planner not just a wedding planner I only plan destination weddings and have great insight into the costs associated with having a wedding at the Ritz Carlton.   Is it a great value, UNBELIVEABLE, however you must know what you are getting into and what your guests will be in for.  I will post the details below and truly it is a great deal, for those who are looking to really maximize your budget I urge you to contact us or another knowledgeable, honest wedding planner and not the one included with the package (who is hired to sell you on the Ritz and all of the amenities associated with your wedding etc..)…  

With all of the money you are saving it is a wise investment to hire a destination wedding planner, I would be delighted to see if you think my services are a good fit for your wedding needs.
