A Very Scary Topic: Bad Wedding Planners

Hola Readers! I hope everybody is doing well as we roll into Halloween Week. You know, that’s one thing I’ve never been asked to do — plan a Halloween destination wedding.

October 22nd, 2007 Sandy Malone

I’ve been avoiding this blog topic because I wanted to do it when I had something chocolate in the house to eat after I wrote it. Finally, chocolate chip cookies — so we can safely discuss wedding cake and alternative options for wedding cake in the Caribbean.

How Many People Can You Stuff in a VW Bug? How Many Wedding Guests Can You Fit on Vieques Island?

October 18th, 2007 Sandy Malone

Hola! When I first opened this wedding planning business on Vieques, I was warned by a few of my less optimistic friends that all I would get would be two-person ceremonies and pregnant brides. Nice, eh? I ignored them, and now I’m so glad I did. So far, I’ve only done a couple of tiny weddings and all the rest are of pretty good size with decent budgets. No pregnant brides yet — but I’ll be happy to plan their weddings if they call!

Hurricane Season Weddings in the Caribbean

October 12th, 2007 Sandy Malone

Hi everyone! I wish I had a dollar for every bride who didn’t want to get married in the Caribbean during hurricane season — I’d make a mint. In fact, almost every bride asks about what the weather will be doing during whatever time they’ve chosen to get married, and they’re usually surprised when I say it’s safe to get married in Vieques pretty much every time of year.
