There’s no reason any couple should have to go through the stress of planning a wedding to experience the happiness and perfection of their big day. Marriott recognizes this is a time when couples should be having fun and enjoying their engagement, anxiously awaiting the day they say, “I do”, so they have designed a new program to make the process seamless for couples planning a destination wedding.
