It is all in the name
Sandals Resorts based in the Caribbean recently added Martha Stewart branded“bridal packages” to their destination wedding offerings. I heard that within 15 minutes of deploying the brand they booked over $10,000.00 worth of Martha weddings.
That’s some big business. And destination weddings are becoming more popular. I’ll share the pros and cons of these events in later posts.
