Shawna & Adam

Wedding date: February 2020

Travel advisor: Andrea Norfolk

Destination: Nassau, Bahamas

Resort: SLS Baha Mar

Number of guests: 100

How did you meet?
We met while Shawna was a waitress in Philly and Adam came in for dinner. 

Why did you choose to have a destination wedding?
We felt very strongly about making our day/weekend as memorable and entertaining for not only us, but more importantly, all of our guests. Also, having a place to visit and always having that memory there just felt like the right choice for us. We love to travel and do a good bit of it so it just fit us. 

Why did you choose your resort and destination?
We chose SLS Baha Mar, thanks to Andrea’s recommendation, because we feel it represented us as a couple in every way. We love to travel and it has endless activities for everyone to do, amazing five star restaurants, a world class casino, gorgeous weather, and spectacular views. We are also big fans of the SLS brand. The hotel itself is stunning.

Did you add any personal touches to your wedding ceremony?
We wrote our own vows, had Adam’s sister officiate & Shawna walked down the aisle to her & Adams song “waiting for a girl like you”. 

What was your most memorable moment during your ceremony? 
Although the entire ceremony was as beautiful as we could’ve asked, the wind was especially blowing that day and we think the most memorable part was when it blew my veil so wildly that it smacked me in the face. Everyone got a kick out of it. 

Did you do any activities with your guests?
Swimming with the dolphins was by far the best activity we did! It was incredible. 

What was the best part about having a destination wedding?
Creating all these new wonderful memories with our closest family and friends in a gorgeous place that we can revisit on our anniversaries in the future to reminisce. It was like one big vacation with everyone we love! And the weather considering it was February. ;) 

What are the top 5 things you’d recommend to someone going to the same destination?

2. Swim with dolphins 
3. Skybar
4. Bond nightclub
5. Privilege Pool 

How was your experience using Shoreline Destinations for planning your destination wedding?
Our wedding would not have been anywhere near as spectacular without Andrea & her team leading it. We cannot express our gratitude enough for all of their hard work!
