Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. and Sandals Resorts International announced a multi-year partnership that will bring customizable Martha Stewart Weddings to all brides and grooms celebrating a destination wedding at any of the Luxury Included Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts across the Caribbean, beginning Jan. 1, 2010. Guests will be able to book a Martha Stewart Wedding at any of the 12 Sandals Resorts or four Beaches Family Resorts starting in October 2009.
In addition, the companies announced they will introduce Martha Stewart Crafts classes for adults at Sandals Resorts and craft camps for families at Beaches Resorts in 2010. Martha Stewart Weddings at Sandals Resorts -- available in five themes -- will leverage MSLO’s expertise in wedding planning and Sandals Resorts’ reputation as the leader in the luxury all-inclusive resort arena.
A la carte items or “extras” -- such as personalized cake toppers, welcome gifts and candy buffets -- will also be available for couples to make their weddings unforgettable.
On the digital front, the company has established a stand-alone website, www.marthastewartweddings.com, with wedding planning tools powered by WeddingWire, a localized wedding platform in which MSLO made a strategic investment in 2008.
Also in 2008, MSLO took an equity stake in www.pingg.com, an online invitation and planning company. In November 2009, Martha Stewart Weddings magazine will publish its first destination weddings special issue magazine.
In addition to Martha Stewart Weddings at Sandals Resorts, MSLO and SRI will introduce a variety of craft programs and camps in 2010. Guests will be taught crafting skills and techniques by trained experts using Martha Stewart Crafts products (www.marthastewart.com/crafts). MSLO’s crafts products are manufactured by EK Success, which distributes the products to mass market and specialty craft retailers nationwide.

Tie the knot in Jamaica with the "Ultimate Budget Wedding"
At Island Breeze Travel of Michigan, we are very happy to announce our partnership with Superclubs and Grand Lido in Jamaica.
As average wedding expenses soar beyond $28,000 according to The Knot, engaged couples are looking to trim costs without crimping on style. Rolling out this month as an extension to SuperClubs’ complimentary weddings, the “Ultimate Budget Wedding” package at the Grand Lido Resorts & Spas in Jamaica provides lasting wedding memories without lingering debt.
Starting at just $2,690 per couple for a five-night minimum stay beginning March 15, this comprehensive free wedding package includes Super-Inclusive accommodations and enticing offerings such as couples massages and island tours – even a financial consultation with a major U.S. investment bank, to help set up a nest egg.
Each resort also continues to absorb the costs of government administrative fees, a savings of up to US$300, for couples staying seven nights or longer. “After nearly 45 years of marriage, I haven’t forgotten what it was like when we were first starting out: every penny counts, “ said Hon. John Issa, chairman of SuperClubs Resorts. “We want our brides and grooms to have memorable weddings without worrying about breaking the bank.
Our destination weddings are chic, smart and within reach at a fraction of the price of today’s average affair.” Specially designed to enhance SuperClubs’ complimentary wedding package, which includes Champagne and sweet treats upon arrival in an upgraded room, the personal services of a resort wedding planner, wedding cake, flowers, bouquet and boutonnière, music, professional photographer, guest passes, minister, marriage license, affidavits, private candlelit dinner and a honeymoon breakfast in bed, the “Ultimate Budget Wedding” package offers newly tailored add-ons.
Pre-marital stress will drift away during the included 30-minute “Walking Down the Aisle” couples massage, while wedding guests can also indulge at the Blue Mahoe Spa with 15 percent off all treatments. Following the guaranteed sunset hour wedding ceremony, newlyweds can escape to their honeymoon retreat where they will enjoy petal turndown service, in-room chilled Champagne, a decadent dessert tray, and romantic music playing. Beyond the resort, island escapades await and those looking to explore can take advantage of the two-for-one Chukka Caribbean Adventures voucher for canopy, horseback or tubing excursions, redeemable at the resort tour desk.
SuperClubs also helps couples start off on the right financial foot by offering a free consultation with a major U.S. investment bank representative who can help them plan for the present and future, from setting up a joint checking account to developing a long-term savings strategy. As a special wedding gift from SuperClubs, newlyweds will receive a 15-minute honeymoon photo session, and take home an engraved wedding album with four professional 5x7 prints with CD.
They also get his and her “Just Married” T-shirts. In addition to having their government/administrative fees waived, brides and grooms who extend their stay to at least seven nights will enjoy their wedding night for free.
