Tell us about your experience working with LUXE Destination Weddings: Luxe was FANTASTIC. Alex really helped me every step of the way. She had so many great ideas and really helped me create my dream wedding. I tell all brides hiring a wedding planner is the best thing you can do. It takes all the stress out of being a bride and just makes it about the fun and the memories. I had such a wonderful experience planning my wedding and I could not have imagined how perfect everything was on the day of. The extra activities we added were a huge success as well. I can’t say thank you enough to Luxe and especially Alex!!!
Jackie was wonderful as well. She kept me very organized with my attendee list. She was great with my guests and ensured everyone had a great stay.
Were those props brought in from home?! I can’t decide what wedding props I should bring in from home and if it’s something I could just rent. Keeping the packing to a minimum!! Btw – congrats!!
