Wedding Spotlight: Kathie and Adam's Destination Wedding at Unico 20'87 in Cancun, Mexico
Lauren: Why did you choose a destination wedding?
Kathie and Adam: We attended our friend’s wedding in Cancun a couple years before and had the absolute best time. We’ve lived all over so have friends and family that would have to travel no matter where we got married. We also really wanted to have the opportunity to allow everyone get to know each other over a long weekend.
Lauren: How many attendees did you have?
What kind of experience did you envision your guests having?
Kathie and Adam: We had 85 guests! Fun and relaxing
Lauren: What was one part of planning your wedding that you knew you couldn't have done alone?
How did having a Destination Wedding Specialist help with that?
Kathie and Adam: Coordinating the rooms and all the guests. Everyone came with their own needs- Lauren did an amazing job accommodating each guest (even if it meant booking a different hotel for them). It’s exhausting enough to plan just the wedding, it’s so helpful to have a travel advisor help with all the other stuff.
Lauren: What piece of advice would you give to couples who are just starting the planning process?
Kathie and Adam: Send out invites early to get a head count. We did not expect so many guests to come.
Lauren: What’s one “extra” you’re super glad you splurged on? What surprised you the most about your wedding?
Kathie and Adam: The “all in” package for the wedding ceremony/reception.This saved a lot of headaches and number crunching. Most surprising thing was how great of a time our moms had 🤪 We also really enjoyed all the pre-wedding events we had at the hotel.
Lauren: If you could choose three words to describe your wedding, what would they be?
Kathie and Adam: joyous, loving, beautiful
Lauren: What is your favorite memory from your big day?
Kathie and Adam: Our good friend Matias being our officiant and marrying us.
A Note from Lauren: Planning this gorgeous Destination Wedding in Cancun with Kathie and Adam was so much fun! I was actually able to go do a tasting with Kathie before the wedding and the food was phenomenal. It was so much fun to be able to help this amazing couple and friends plan this once in a lifetime event. Congratulations to Kathie and Adam on a beautiful ceremony!
