Love Letters

Chanell was our wedding coordinator for our wedding in 2020. She did a fabulous job helping us find the perfect resort to host our destination wedding in Mexico. She organized all the flights, private transfers to the resort and the rooms at the hotel. She also coordinated all the wedding plans from invitations to coordinating the event itself while communicating with the resort. She was flexible while dealing with the different demands that each guest presented as there were multiple requests from different family members regarding their flights, room requests, etc. She went above and beyond by setting up all the wedding details with the wedding coordinator at the resort. She was able to negotiate a great deal with the resort and was a huge help with coordinating the little nuances such as flowers, decorations, menus etc. Chanell was a pleasure to work with and we strongly recommend her for any wedding or travel plans.

 

A site inspection is not only important to find out what you don’t like about a property but to also fall in love with one! My fiancé and I recently travelled to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic to explore four different properties with the amazing Liana, Love at First Site. Love at first site took care of everything, every step of the way. Liana answered all of my questions and took care of every detail to ensure an amazing trip. I can’t stress enough how grateful I am that I’ve done a site inspection. Pictures don’t always tell the full story. I feel so confident now inviting my guests to my dream wedding destination that I know the food and drinks are delicious and property will exceed their expectations as it did mine. I highly recommend booking a site inspection or any kind of travel through Love at First Site, you won’t be disappointed. Liana is an expert in her field, and she will find the perfect destination to suit you.

"I had an amazing wedding planner Chanell from Love At First Site, who specializes in Caribbean Weddings and was based locally. We couldn’t have done it without her. “ as quoted in Harpers Bazaar Arabia Bridal Magazine - Spring/Summer 2020 Issue. 

My husband and I are NOT planners (I mean, we were engaged for two years without a single clue of where to even start) If it weren’t for Chanell and Liana, we probably still wouldn’t be married! They took care of everything! We just had to show up on the day. And it was the most amazing day ever!

Our experience with Love at First Site has been truly amazing!
They were so dedicated to our vision and making it become a reality. Love at First Site was extremely knowledgeable about the destinations that we were interested in for our wedding and assisted with literally everything. From the visiting various resorts for our wedding location, onsite day of wedding services, guests requests, excursion organization for all of us and even helping with our honeymoon selection.

After meeting with Chanell in Dominican Republic, we are positive we found our perfect resort. There’s nothing worse than getting to a resort and it not living up to your expectations (especially for your wedding!!). We no longer worry about that. She was incredibly nice and really knew what to look for while we were touring the resorts. She told us afterwards that she had actually guessed the resort we would pick before we picked it! These women know what they’re doing when it comes to all things wedding. And not only was she nice and professional, she was so much fun to be around! We are so happy we chose to go down to the resorts with Love At First Site before making a decision.

Liana is the best travel agent to use! You can tell she is passionate about you, your travel plans and your special day. DO NOT hesitate to work with her or her company, you are in safe hands! She is in constant contact and is making sure ever detail is looked into. She is the most kind and caring person! She made sure we were 100% taken care of our entire pre wedding site inspection and even helped us out of a travel bind, no questions asked! We will definitely be using her again for travel and CANNOT thank her enough!

The service we have received was nothing short of fantastic. Liana is incredibly knowledgeable and always shares her experiences with us so that we can make an informed decision. With regards to our destination wedding, she made several recommendations based on my needs and wants and we decided on the perfect location and resort. She organized our group and was more than happy to answer any of the questions that my guests or I had. It was a worry and hassle free experience, and I can’t recommend her enough.

I met Chanell at the 2015 Bridal Show in Toronto. Out of all the people I met that day she was the only one I would describe as "real". She wasn't just trying to say what ever I wanted to hear to get me to use her services and book through her, she was upfront and honest with me. Over the course of the year and a half of planning my wedding she was the most kind and caring person and so incredibly easy to work with. From helping us pick a resort, to making herself available when ever I needed her to answer any questions I had even if it was a silly little question. The thing I loved most though was while I was planning my amazing destination wedding to Punta Cana, Chanell was also planning her destination wedding to Jamaica so she knew what I was going through cause she herself was going through the exact same process. I don't think I could have picked a better woman to assist me in picking a resort, to doing all the reservations for everyone, to helping me with every last detail in making my special day the fairy tale I had always dreamed about. I have and will continue to recommend my friends to use Love at First Site Weddings for all destination weddings services.

This all couldn't have happened without YOU!!! So I thank you from the bottom of my heart! You made this experience a great one...you were so helpful and you always made me feel better and comfortable with the decisions we made. It made me feel like you should've been a guest at our wedding! :)

After we decided to have a destination wedding, the big question was “where”? I had talked to several local travel agents, all of which had suggestions. None of those places seemed to specialize in destination weddings.

That’s when I found Love At First Site while researching blogs online. I got in contact with Chanell. Chanell helped me choose my wedding resort and has been fantastic. She knew the ins and outs of all the resorts, and was able to match me with the perfect resort for what I was looking for! She knew the pros and cons and why or why not to have a wedding at a particular place. It gave me an added sense of security knowing that she herself had dealt with most of the representatives from the resorts and has even visited some of the resorts herself.

Love At First Site is always just an email away. Any questions I’ve had, they’ve always quickly replied, and been able to explain anything I don’t understand. They have done a spectacular job of keeping my fiancé and organized, and up to date with all information needed for our wedding.

I would definitely recommend working with Love At First Site for your destination wedding.

We had the pleasure of working with Chanell at Love at First Site and were incredibly happy with her and her team's services. We booked the Royal Treatment package as we wanted someone to not only plan our wedding but also be on site during our wedding week to ensure everything went smoothly. One important part to highlight during the planning phase, was that Chanell was able to direct us where to best spend our money. Because of her experience in the industry she knew which items to focus on and which could be skipped. The wedding itself was perfect, as Chanell was there every step of the way. Having her on site was wonderful as she coordinated with the resort staff, the photographer, the MC and the DJ (and even our families) so that we could focus on getting married and having a great time. If you are looking at doing a destination wedding, we would highly recommend checking out Love at First Site for all your planning needs! Thank you so much Chanell and the entire Love at First Site team!

Liana suggested the perfect resort for our destination wedding. They were easy to work with and very patient and responsive. We had no issues with flights or accommodations! Thank you again!

We had a fabulous time, thanks again for all your help. It was a lovely night, couldn’t ask for anything more. So much fun! 

We had an incredible time and loved our wedding/resort very much as did our guests. Our experience with you was FLAWLESS and every single one our guests raved about your services.

Thank you so much we had a great time, the resort was absolutely beautiful!

Thank you all for all of your hard work on our wedding day! Thank you for giving all of your hearts to make our experience the best it could possibly be!

It turned out even more amazing than either of us imagined! A very special thanks to you and Chanell!!! You guys are so amazing! We wouldn't change a thing about the whole week…

Liana was helpful, readily available, and her knowledge/experience made our wedding decision making so much easier! Thank you so much for making our wedding trip easy and perfect!

Our wedding was in September 2015 at Dominican Republic and it was truly a dream come true. It was everything my husband and I imagined! The LAFS staff excelled their services and much more and made sure our special day was perfect. Planning up to our day I didn’t need to worry or show any concern., I was confident our wedding was in good professional hands! Kudos to the staff, our planner, especially Chanell for being remarkable and guiding us along the way for the most exciting and best day of our lives! It was an amazing experience.

Thank you for all the support and awesome advice throughout the year long process, especially with the planning. We couldn't have done it without you. Thank you so much Chanell!

The Wedding went AMAZING! From the weather to the resort and staff. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect week!

Thank you so much for all your help planning our perfect wedding! All 60 of us who came down loved Jamaica and the resort. Thanks for helping it all go so smoothly! Destination Weddings are definitely the way to go!
