Personalization
WeddingWire.com spoke with Beth Bernstein, who talked about the importance of personalizing your wedding in 2018, and what that can mean for your guests: “Couples today want their guests to really notice the effort gone into planning the wedding. It’s not just about personalizing the wedding to the couple. It’s about who their guests are and what they mean to them.” Paradise Cruises and Minneapolis Queen offers that kind of personalization, while taking the hassle out of planning the logistics between the wedding and the reception. Not only do they provide couples with an idyllic setting for their wedding, they offer full-service wedding events, including wedding ceremonies and receptions, engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, bridal/groom parties, and after-wedding brunches.
