How Booking Works (Simple, Fast, Clear)
Here is the exact process I use so you get clarity quickly and avoid paperwork mistakes.
1) WhatsApp your basics
Arrival date, ceremony date, island/location, and whether either of you was previously married.
2) I confirm availability
You get a clear “yes/no” plus the next steps for your setup (resort, villa, public beach, etc.).
3) You get the legal checklist
Clean requirements list based on your situation, including what to prepare before you travel.
