“Had another great stay at rondel village. Housekeeping staff is excellent (we had Donna), but all of them are friendly. We feel like we are going home when the staff sees us; then takes the time to ask how we have been and welcomes us back. Always like catching up with Delroy at the bar, best bartender on the beach.

We really like the villas and have booked for next April again. First class operation”.

Ideas that are easy to incorporate in your destination wedding are:

  • Reuse. Reuse decor items. Take full advantage of elegant decor options provided by your destination wedding venue. Expert wedding coordinators can personalize the theme and decor of your wedding to your satisfaction by using classic pieces already on hand.

  • Recycle. For the ultimate eco-conscious bride, opt to wear a vintage wedding dress on your big day. Let the romantic notions and styles of yesteryear help captivate your partner and invited guests by wearing a re-claimed or upcycled wedding gown. 

Not into vintage? Select attire options that are in-line with your wedding vision and kind to our planet. Example: choose apparel for you and your wedding party that can be easily worn after your big day is over.
