Tuesday, December 13th, 2011 /

(PRWEB) January 24, 2012

1-800-Registry, a leader in wedding planning, honeymoon travel and honeymoon registry services, introduced today its Wedding Assurance Guarantee, the bridal industrys first-ever definitive vendor services guarantee established to validate the excellence and integrity of its Bride-Certified wedding professionals. An exclusive service offering within the business of weddings and event planning, 1-800-Registrys complimentary, money-back Wedding Assurance Guarantee enables couples to have complete confidence in the Bride-Certified Wedding Vendors they select through 1-800-Registry.

“As a former wedding photographer, I witnessed many beautiful weddings. But it was the weddings nearly ruined by vendors inexperience and lack of accountability that inspired me to find a solution, said Donne Kerestic, CEO of 1-800-Registry. By selecting our trusted, Bride-Certified Wedding Vendors, couples have peace of mind that they are working with reputable professionals who are highly recommended, reliable and guaranteed.

1-800-Registry helps couples plan their dream weddings and honeymoons with confidence because every one of its trusted wedding vendors is Bride-Certified. This distinction is earned after each professional has passed a comprehensive background check and screening process that requires a minimum of 10 stellar recommendations from couples and industry professionals. With the added benefit of the Wedding Assurance Guarantee, brides and grooms now have unparalleled peace of mind that if they encounter a problem, big or small, 1-800-Registry will work with its wedding vendor partners to make it right at no cost to the couple.

We are so confident in our vendor screening process that we are the only wedding company in the industry that will guarantee the merit of its wedding vendor partners, said Kerestic. In a recent survey conducted with our brides, 95 percent rated vendor guarantee as an important planning benefit. Our Wedding Assurance Guarantee affirms that couples can trust their wedding details to our Bride-Certified Wedding Vendors, unlike other wedding sites who explicitly state they do not guarantee their vendors and the customers are at their own risk when hiring a wedding vendor found on their website.

1-800-Registrys Wedding Assurance Guarantee reimburses couples up to $ 10,000 per wedding affair, including all engagement, wedding rehearsal, wedding day and honeymoon-related events. Should any unforeseen vendor issues occur, including insolvency, bankruptcy, failure to show at an event, or failure to provide a finished product, the Company will attempt to resolve the matter, seek replacement vendor services immediately and recompense the couple appropriately.

Destination Wedding Activities
Sunday, November 13th, 2011 /

Many brides like to have their weddings seaside, so they move the festivities to a beach locale, either on their local coast or somewhere more exotic like Jamaica or the Bahamas. In any event, there are several activities that can be planned around this theme. If the wedding is also a weekend event where guests will be around for more than just the wedding, the bride can plan a sailing excursion. Charter a boat for a day and bring your guests out on the water to relax, rejuvenate, and perhaps enjoy a meal.

 

If the wedding is in the Caribbean, how about a cooking demonstration? The bride and groom can arrange for the wedding guests to enjoy a complimentary cooking demonstration put on by the hotel or a local cook. Since much of the food the guests eat while visiting for the wedding will be different than what they eat at home, they might enjoy learning how to prepare it for home enjoyment.

 

Say the wedding is in Hawaii, another popular destination wedding location. Here, you can plan several activities around the location. For example, what about a luau? This could even take the place of a more formal or conventional sit-down rehearsal dinner. 

 

In Hawaii, guests will enjoy a hula lesson. Depending on the age of your guests, be sure there is enough time between the wedding and the lesson for the resting of aching bones, in case there are any. 

 

At the wedding itself, there are many ways to incorporate the location into the ceremony itself. At a beachside reception, you can play “pass the shell”, where a large shell is passed around and guests “listen” for some advice from the other world. Once they get a piece of advice (really something they think of themselves) they share it with the bride and groom, either verbally, or it can be written into a book for the couple.

 

Other pre-wedding activities can include guided tours, shopping excursions and wine tasting activities (if applicable). If you choose to include any of these activities keep in mind that the bride and groom (or their families) are expected to pay for the bulk of them. If you arrange a sailing excursion, for example, you are expected to pick up the tab for the trip. Do not tell people ahead of time that the activity will be x dollars. It’s likely that won’t sit well with them.

 

Since one of the great benefits of the destination wedding is that only your closest friends and family will likely surround you, you can plan some meaningful activities that you wouldn’t plan if the wedding were a larger event. For example, you might plan a slumber party night with close friends that includes movies, popcorn and drinks in your hotel room, villa or cottage, depending on where the wedding is held. 

 

Of course, if you plan a destination wedding, for some people this might double as their vacation. In that event, you might not want to schedule too many activities but instead let people find their own activities and entertainment both before and after the wedding.

Hawaii Wedding Videographer Discusses 3 Skills Event Planners Have
Friday, November 11th, 2011 /

There are many things in life that are very important to our self esteem and whether you actually know it or not there are actually plenty of characteristics that go along with owning an event planning business that may also be useful in real life as well. There are many aspects of the event planning professional’s personality that could benefit someone in their life apart from their event planning duties. Indeed, event planning skills are very important and here are some areas where the daily routine of an event planner may coincide with that of a regular individual.

Organization:

Many event planning professionals have some of the best organizational skills out of everyone in the business world and it seems as though their profession would even call for it. Just as an event planner has to stay organized in order to know which of their scheduled events is the next day and which is the next week, so too are there plenty of opportunities and room for improvement in many other people’s life when it comes to organization.

In fact, organization is one area in which many people struggle throughout their life. An event planning professional is a highly organized person and it is an important quality to emulate!

People Skills:

Many people may turn down the job of an event planner simply because they realize that it requires a great deal of people skills in order to succeed. However, the outgoing nature of someone who own an event planning business is very key to thriving in the industry in the first place. One needs to have the self-esteem in order to contact individuals about large events that need to be planned, and they also need the confidence with which to do their job.

On the other hand there are plenty of individuals who go throughout life with very low self-esteem, a low profile of self-worth and self-image, but these are areas that an event planner actually excels at!

Discipline and Control:

These two qualities are very important of anyone who owns and controls an event planning business. There are many different scenarios where an event planner may have to display their discipline and control, but these two characteristics of their personality should actually show through throughout their whole career. On the flip side, many non-event planners could take a lesson from the event planners in the industry simply because many people lack the discipline in order to get the things done that they need to have accomplished. Fostering that discipline within yourself, though, is one key to being a happier person altogether!

After everything is said and done, though, one can easily see where event planning skills are very crucial in everyday life for most people. Even though it’s unrealistic to think that most everyone should become an event planner just to be able to have these skills, as human beings we definitely should take a lesson from them!

Wedding in Hawaii: Private Homes and Palaces
Friday, November 04th, 2011 /

Every girl dreams to meet her prince and marry him at a royal palace. ‘lolani, Lanikuhonua, Ko ‘olina, Queen Emma Palace, private estates and homes are the best options to be considered for wedding in Hawaii.

‘lolani Palace
In United States, the one and only royal and majestic palace is the ‘lolani Palace in Honolulu. You can get a rented area for your wedding ceremony on the beautiful ground. However, you will need to follow certain rules because of the presence of an ancient gem and sacred place in the palace. Couples will require getting a license from the Hawaiian government. This whole process is time consuming and can consume your two weeks of time, so this should be the first and foremost thing once you decide the place. Palace gardens are so wide that most marriage ceremonies are held there. However, receptions are organised in the historic ‘lolani Barracks.

These are the open-air private courtyards. Since Galleries in the Palace are open and subjected for tours, your guests can always stroll around the place and view historic photographs, portraits, Hawaiian regalia and Hawaiian crown jewels. Your guests will be completely wooed by the whole atmosphere and facilities they can avail in ‘Iolani Palace.

Queen Emma Palace

A lovely historic museum and home, Queen Emma Summer Palace has two sites to carry out marriage ceremonies. It is located in exuberant Nu’uanu Valley. For indoor space to hold reception party, Emmalani Hale can be used. For outdoor space, Albert Terrace provides an ideal location.

Private Estates

Few of the breathtaking sites are available on Oahu for wedding ceremonies.

These are the private estates which have magnificent beauty but they all come with a price tag. However, there is no price for happiness and if you are looking for scenic beauty and superb location, these are your ultimate destination. They have marvellous top class services available. You won’t have to look any further after you decide this location for your wedding in Hawaii.

Lanikuhonua, Ko ‘olina

Lanikuhonua, In Hawaiian language, means a place where heaven meets earth. An estate of Campbell, Lanikuhonua provides beautifully landscaped beachfront. Its superiority is shown by the restricted access of public to this beach. So you can have a private wedding ceremony at a beautiful beach if Lanukuhonua is your destination.

Private homes
Couples, who have friends owning a home in Oahu, carry out their wedding ceremonies at the private homes. You have surely hit the motherlode if you can find a private home in Oahu.  It is famous of all the options because you stand a chance to save a lot of dough on facility rental fees (which of course you would have to pay if opting for any resort.

Above are a few options that might be of your help when planning a wedding in Hawaii.

Best Places For a Beach Wedding
Sunday, October 30th, 2011 /

Having a beach wedding is no doubt one of the more romantic settings you can choose to celebrate your special day. So which places are optimal for this event? Here are just a few places to whet your appetite.

Ogunquit, Maine

Ogunquit, which means “beautiful place by the sea”, offers a picturesque location for a beach wedding. Discovered by artists over a century ago, it was transformed into the breathtaking town it is today. It offers everything from seaside relaxation to intimate museums, art galleries and hikes in the mountains of Maine. You can host your wedding along the one and a quarter mile stretch of beach known as Marginal Way. They also offer a clambake cocktail hour and a feast of famous Maine lobster for dinner.

Kapalua Bay Beach, Maui, Hawaii

Hawaii is probably well known as the best place to go to for beach weddings. However, nothing beats Kapalua Bay with its reputation as being the best. Situated between two lava points which shapes the shore into a perfect crescent, it is an ideal setting for your wedding. The beach is well known for its tranquil surf and even though there are many sunbathers during the day, in the evening, the beach is usually cleared giving you that romantic setting needed for the perfect ceremony.

Makena Cove, Maui

This is rapidly becoming a favorite spot for many couples. With black lava rock, white-sand beach, turquoise water and fantastic views of Molokini and Kaho’olawe, Makena cove offers a beautiful backdrop for a beach wedding. Perfect at anytime of the day, it’s a great location for wonderful pictures and memories. However, parking is limited so make plans ahead of time before the big day.

Navarre Beach, Florida

This is Florida’s best kept secret! Located between Pensacola Beach and Destin, Navarre is a stretch of breathing and unspoiled beaches. It is more secluded than other beaches in Florida and can give you the privacy and romantic setting you’re looking for. Dazzling white sands and emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Santa Rosa Sound are your neighbors and don’t forget the great preservation areas that are excellent for hikes before or after the vows have been exchanged.

Vancouver Island – British Columbia

With so many wonderful beaches to choose from, it can be difficult selecting just one for your wedding. One such beach is Qualicum which spreads gently in front of a small pleasant town on the east side of the Island. There are numerable beachside pullouts and the air is filled with not just the tangy goodness of the salt from the sea, but the array of floral displays that makes it unique and special. If Qualicum is not your scene, you can always check out other beach sites like Spider Lake Provincial Park, Comox, Kye Bay, Seal Bay Regional Park, Campbell River, or one of the most popular beaches Long Beach. Whichever you decide, Vancouver offers a setting that is not only pleasing to the senses, but one that is sure to have you making a lot of memories that will last for a lifetime.
