Article #1004- Word count: 680 Lavish Celebrations: (BNN) With the popularity of destination weddings soaring every year, newly engaged couples are discovering a wide range of luxury locations and special trips for their exchange of vows and joyful celebrations. New levels of expectations for weddings away have emerged as couples crave the best of the best when carefully planning details of their nuptials. When the criteria ranges from “incredible” to “spectacular”, and couples, their families and guests enjoy a sophisticated lifestyle, the standards of cuisine and other services available are enormously important.
Wedding Celebration Grand Cayman
Celebrationsltd.com photograph by Linda and Stephan Brite Location! Location! Location! Exotic, sun-soaked Caribbean islands rank among the top choices of many savvy altar-bound couples. Although there is an endless selection of idyllic spots to choose from, the challenge is in finding the ideal destination; one where the dream wedding will become a reality. Wedding guru, JoAnne Brown, founder of Celebrations, Ltd. (celebrationsltd.com) Grand Cayman, touted by Travel + Leisure + Romance magazine as one of the six Fairy Godmothers of destination weddings, offers the perfect solution. “The Cayman Islands have become one of the front runners for discerning couples seeking premiere locations for stylish and unique weddings. The cuisine, accommodations and services are second to none and are on a par with the best anywhere in the world.” Celebrations on TV It’s no wonder, then, that the Cayman Islands in general and JoAnne and Celebrations in particular have attracted an impressive amount of media attention recently and have been featured on high-profile television programs. The Travel Channel’s Weddings Away, a six-episode docu-series that premiered in 2006, presented a behind-the-scenes look as the Celebrations team meticulously planned and customized each Cayman destination wedding. In late 2007, Carley Roney, co-founder of the top-rated wedding website, The Knot (theknot.com), collaborated with JoAnne Brown and Celebrations to produce an elaborate Hindu-style wedding in the Cayman’s secret paradise, Little Cayman. The stunning wedding was featured on the Style Network/E! Entertainment’s My Destination Wedding with The Knot hosted by Carley Roney. JoAnne, or Miss Jo as she is famously known, along with twelve members of her team, produced the lavish design and décor that was enjoyed by the delighted bride and groom and seen by fifty-eight million viewers worldwide. Describing the event, Carley was effusive in her praise. “I have never been so impressed by an event planner as I was when working with JoAnne Brown on this astounding wedding. Her sense of style and sense of urgency made her both easy to work with and inspiring. She was always ready with a beautiful, creative idea or a quick solution. She is unflappable -- and we encountered challenges that would have intimidated the event planner at the White House! Her confidence and sense of humor were critical to the comfort of the entire team -- from the couple to the TV crew.”

Couples can marry on a long stretch of untouched white sandy beach, a quaint chapel, a majestic church or a luxury resort. Event connoisseur Brown points out, “Being independent from the local hotels, resorts and restaurants, we at Celebrations can objectively recommend the perfect location for a couple’s needs and design a wedding with that setting in mind.” An award-winning wedding and special event production company, Celebrations has designed over one thousand weddings in the past fifteen years -- from small, intimate parties to large six hundred plus occasions including numerous celebrity weddings. “Our company is internationally known for its highly original, upscale, fantasy-like weddings,” explains JoAnne. “Every detail is created and overseen by our talented staff - wedding décor, menu selection, floral and cake design, entertainment, invitations, transportation, golfing and boating trips for guests and more.” Famed wedding authority, Carley Roney, has seen it all. “I would recommend JoAnne and the entire hardworking, professional, talented staff at Celebrations Ltd. to my dearest friend or most important business contact. I can honestly say I have never had such a pleasant and rewarding experience with an event expert.” __________________________________ Editors Note: To obtain print-resolution images please contact Sheila Sullivan at 212-599-6228. |
