Resources for the Frequent Traveler

I stumbled across this site recently and find it too useful to not share with those of you who travel for work or pleasure.  Frequent Flier
offers useful tips, recommendations and up to the minute deals for anyone interested in learning about or making the most of their frequent flier programs.  Frequent Flier also offers a newsletter called Frequent Flier Crier which updates subscribers to the latest bonus miles offers, latest sweepstakes and news releases the traveling public needs to know.

Check it out.  I think you'll refer to Frequent Flier...frequently.

Darcy Miller of Martha Stewart Weddings...and ME!!!

Oh my gosh, I am so thrilled to be mentioned in the one of the leading wedding blogs of all time, The Bride's Guide by the staff and editors of Martha Stewart Weddings!!!

I had the privilege of hearing Darcy Miller of Martha Stewart Weddings speak this morning at Engage 09.  Who knew I would create such a controversy by asking a simple question "are wedding favors really necessary?"  There were a few boos and hisses from the all-wedding-industry-audience, but Marcy was gracious and so sweet when she replied "of course not" but if the couple truly desires favors and they have a favor that represents the couples likes, personalities or hobbies, why not?

Darcy approached me at the break and said she would like a photo of us together to go with today's blog post.  How could I say no?  So although I received a lot of grief for my question, having an opportunity to have Darcy Miller in my corner was worth it. 

Site Inspections - Puerto Rico

Planning destination weddings is not without it's challenges - but one of the best and most rewarding aspects is successfully conducting site inspections with great new couples and locating their perfect venue.  A venue that meets the needs of both bride and groom. 

I just returned from Puerto Rico after scouting locations in and surrounding the San Juan area and want to share a surprisingly affordable, yet incredibly romantic location in Old San Juan the El Convento Hotel a member of the Small Luxury Hotel Collection of the World.

El Convento began as a Carmelite Convent over 350 years ago and now houses 58 luxuriously appointed rooms, four restaurants, an open-air European-Style slate courtyard and seven unique and versitile meeting spaces. If the surroundings don't wow you, the menu options and pricing will.  Everything El Convento has to offer completely meets the needs of my couple so we are all feeling like...mission accomplished.

Check out their website or give me a call for more information.
