Let’s be honest, from the moment a bride says ‘YES’ to that illustrious piece of jewelry on her left ring finger, she’s turning that stress level up from ‘ugh, my mani isn’t doing this sparkler justice’ to ‘omg where are we going to get married’ and ‘waitttt, is that whisky you’re pouring at the bar? Uncle Al shouldn’t be having his eighth glass.’ An engagement is a special time between a bride and her partner, and if nerves and planning pressures are taking the fun out of it, then something or someone better step in to steal it all away. And it all starts with a destination dream and a team of top brass travel pros to turn those jet-setting wedding whims into reality.

You’ll also get a romantic breakfast (in bed) and dinner, a 25-minute massage, and a hand-delivered bottle of bubbly twice during your stay.

Though your package comes with several premium perks, you can discuss upgrades and add ons with your wedding coordinator for an additional fee. Let’s just say, you can have it all, for a price (just ask!). Music, flowers, a private gala (or rehearsal) dinner, a beach (or welcome) cocktail party, a photographer or cinematographer, all of these a la carte services can be locked and loaded just by conferring with your coordinators - whether you do it from afar or do it upon your arrival.

From some of the most spacious and alluring guest rooms, to world-class dining and recreation, your resort won’t disappoint. Not to mention, while all the properties specialize in adult-oriented accoutrements, the Majestic Mirage offers two buildings for families with children and all three of the resorts participate in the Splash Kids Club, which provides babysitting and fun activities for children 4 to 14. A great opportunity for parents to have the night out to watch their family member or bestie get married and be able to trust in a capable, confident and qualified caretaker to keep their little ones safe and spellbound.
