Regent Wants to Be Your Fairy Godmother & Plan Your Destination Wedding

With the promise of stress-free, one-stop-shop planning, destination weddings and vow renewals have both gained popularity in recent years. In fact, I'll bet that you've attended a destination wedding in the not-so-distant past. It's not unusual these days to talk with someone who tied the knot in Hawaii or Mexico or some other exotic locale.

The cruise industry embraced these romantic occasions early on and each line offered a unique cadre of services to its guests. While Regent Seven Seas has been providing wedding/vow renewal services for some time, they are now focusing on this market with a partnership between their own in-house Regent Travel Concierge and destination wedding planning company, Royal Ocean Events. Couples will now have expanded opportunities to marry in select ports of call throughout the world. (Alas, no weddings at sea.)

Hmm. Maybe I can convince my husband that we should renew our vows on Bora Bora
next September for our 15th wedding anniversary !

Chris Scurr, marketing director for Royal Ocean Events says “the sky won’t even be the limit" when it comes to a wedding with RSSC. "If a Regent guest wishes to get married in a hot air balloon over a tropical pineapple plantation, or take a helicopter to a glistening Alaskan glacier, we can do that,” says Scurr.

Based in Vancouver, Royal Ocean Events has planned thousands of cruise weddings in its 10-year history. In fact, if you've attended a wedding aboard a Holland America vessel, the event was probably pulled off by Royal Ocean Events.

The company’s wedding planners offers guests in-depth knowledge not only of romantic venues around the world, but how best to navigate the logistical elements of obtaining a marriage license in a foreign country.

To begin planning your event, call The Regent Travel Concierge at 1-888-Tour-321. You'll then be paired with a consultant from Royal Ocean Events who will discuss all the options with you. There are no pre-set packages per se, but Royal Ocean Events generally provides an officiant, marriage certificate, cake, and champagne for each event.

Just dream about the perfect wedding or vow renewal and Regent will make it happen!
