With the simply stunning shores of the famous Seven Mile Beach as their backdrop, 45 friends and family were there to witness Dianne and Jason exchange vows and kickstart their next chapter together, but not before a surprise pre-marital kiss! The lovely couple approached their big day and wedding week at Azul Beach Resort Negril by Karisma with the same goal – stay true to who they are – and as they laughed, danced, and celebrated all night long on the resort’s Di Romagna Terrace surrounded by love and the Jamaican summer heat, we think it’s safe to say they did just that.

Feedback from the Couple
If you could give a couple of tips to newly engaged couples about planning a destination wedding, or advice for the wedding day what would you say? Keep it simple and stay true to who you are. Enjoy every moment as the day goes by in a blink of an eye! Make sure to carve out a moment in your day to spend a moment with your new Husband/Wife as in the craziness of the day you want to remember this day for yourselves and creating a moment for just the two of you will be a special memory to hold on to!
Can you please tell us a bit about your experience (prior to departure) working with your LUXE wedding planner and travel manager? It was such a fun and easy process working with Luxe. They were very professional, organized, and went through many, many options with us to design the wedding of our dreams. Tiffany was great to work with and always had such great ideas! She was very knowledgeable and patient with us as it was a lot to do virtually without seeing the space and details until the day of. We only wish we could have brought her with us to experience the day with us!
