Editor’s LETTER As the founder, editor-in-chief, and creative director of WedLuxe ® , I am thrilled that you are reading this, the first issue of WedLuxe Experiences, our newest division. This magazine has been a long time in the making, and it’s one of my wildest dreams come true.

From breathtaking proposals and private celebrations in idyllic locations, jet-set bridal fashion shopping itineraries, to exotic bachelor or bachelorette trips and first-class foodie, or fairytale- inspired honeymoons, WedLuxe Experiences are not just fantasies. These are tangible, bookable experiences, brought to you by the crème de la crème of hospitality and wedding industry partners. Within these pages, on WedLuxe.com and across all of our @WedLuxe social media accounts, you will find fashion and style inspiration, dream locales, and real weddings celebrated in WedLuxe style. Starting on page 30 we are thrilled to showcase the expertise of WedLuxe Luminaries, representing cities worldwide, ready to bring any wedding dream to life. From pages 150-161, you can browse the first of our incomparable WedLuxe Experience Itineraries, but be sure to visit our brand new travel platform, WedLuxeExperiences.com, for exciting additions as we will be adding more itineraries regularly. To our current and prospective partners—esteemed tourism boards, venues, hotels, and resorts around the globe— we offer a chance to showcase your spaces and services to an audience seeking beauty and memorable experiences. Thank you for joining us on this venture. We invite you to be our companions as we explore, celebrate, and revel in luxury weddings. Together, we can make dreams come true and create memories that last forever.

uring my decade-and-a-half tenure at the helm of WedLuxe, I’ve had the opportunity to journey across the globe, experience extraordinary hotels and venues firsthand, and attend numerous professional wedding industry conferences spanning cities across North America, UK, Europe, and the Caribbean. I’ve met and forged enduring relationships with the

world’s top event professionals—enormously talented “magic makers” who transform wedding dreams into extraordinary reality and are featured daily on WedLuxe platforms. Over ten years ago in Grand Cayman, I met two such magic makers, Kara and Harlan of The Travel Siblings®, at an industry dinner, and we became fast friends. This dynamic duo have a stellar reputation as some of the most renowned romance travel experts in the world, boasting a clientele that includes A-list wedding planners and Hollywood celebrities. Over the years, we shared many more meals until, one day, the topic of a potential collaboration arose. As they say, the rest is history. WedLuxe and The Travel Siblings are now the perfect pair. They join us as our travel editors and so much more. They also serve as your trusted travel concierge because our collaboration extends beyond the traditional — WedLuxe Experiences is the world’s first wedding media platform that allows brides, grooms, and wedding parties to explore and directly book curated insider wedding industry and luxury travel experiences.
