Islands of the week - Sofitel Motu, Bora Bora + Indigo Pearl, Phuket
While many couples dream of Bora Bora for a honeymoon, it's an ideal, perhaps overlooked location for a destination wedding. For a destination wedding packed with wow factor, consider surprising your guests with your own private island wedding with an island buyout of the Sofitel Motu. With room for about 60 guests, the Sofitel Motu can be your own private island for a magical Tahitian wedding for a lot less than you'd expect. Tour operator, Romance Travel Concierge, offers complete island buyouts of the Sofitel Motu (Tahitian for island) for around USD$125,000 which includes everything. Absolutely everything. Accomodation for 60 guests, food, drinks, wedding, reception, photographer, wedding planners (2), there's too much to list here. We're seeing a massive trend in today's economic climate of couples escaping with family + friends to an amazing destination instead of blowing the budget on a one day event/wedding at a country club or hotel ballroom. It's a vacation, wedding + honeymoon all rolled into one. And how cool is it to round up your posse + take off to a private island in the South Pacific for a wedding no one will ever forget? Alternatively, say "oui" in French Polynesia, it's also a knock out locale for a proposal or vow renewal. Romance Travel Concierge offers private jet travel for marriage proposals, honeymoons, destination weddings + quickie weekends at this gorgeous hideaway. Tip: Consult with Romance Travel Concierge on the customized food/wine selections available as wine flights + a chef's tasting menu are included for the wedding reception on their island buyout. Be sure to consider the Wagyu beef + mushroom risotto for the reception, both are highly memorable.
At the other end of the pricing spectrum, but with as much style, the revamped Indigo Pearl in Phuket is a hip, modern choice for a destination wedding. Also through Romance Travel Concierge, you can have a destination wedding with 10 guests for a week for USD$10,000. Yes, USD$10,000! Accomodation, for 10 people for 5 nights, wedding, reception, food, open bar, flowers, cake, an elephant safari, massages + loads more are all included for one remarkable price. Many wedding gowns cost more than this entire wedding! Tip: call to hold a date early, this destination wedding is only available through October 2009, with limited availability. Also don't miss the tiny family-owned beach cafes/huts with wonderful seafood, which are right outside the hotel through the gate to the beach + are located directly on the sand, with bare feet absolutely encouraged!
