I wish the article would have presented a snippet of what a destination wedding in Dominica looks like. What would the package include? From airfare, hotel accomondations for guests, non denomination weddings, beach weddings, limosine to reception. How would the package work?Who would you contact for more information on these packages? It’s a great idea though.
