When Ally Young and Derek Hafer decided to get married in the Turks and Caicos – they knew they wanted a chic location for their event. Being from New York, they chose the Gansevoort Hotel and in turn decided that in order to have their entire vision come to life they would need the assistance of a wedding planner. That is where Tropical DMC came in.
They already had a lot of their vision in mind but choosing the right vendors on their big day was very important as was having someone co-ordinate the timeline, give suggestions on their invites, organize their welcome bags and in general be there for them every step of the way.
It was so important for them to just relax on their big day that they wanted to have a planner take care of all the details. Music was very important to them. They had an acoustic guitarist for the ceremony, the steel pan for their cocktail hour and a DJ party to end the night.
Thank you to everyone that is part of our preferred vendor team for making all of this possible. Photography by Brilliant Studios
We are so happy to have been part of their special day. Congratulations once again to Derek and Ally!
“I would highly recommend Teresa Brunner and Tropical Destination Management for your event or wedding. Teresa came highly recommended by our hotel and she did not disappoint. She is super responsive and an absolute pleasure to work with. We wanted a non-traditional wedding and she totally got it! She was easy to work with, calm, pro-active, detail-oriented and has great connections on the island. No job was too small or too big and we never had to worry about a thing. On the day of when a rain shower threatened our pictures, cocktail hour and potential reception she had already come up with plan B and got the entire party out of the rain for indoor cocktails. As soon as the rain cleared we were out on the beach enjoying what many of our guests said “was the best wedding/party” they had ever been to. She even went out of her way to add some additional beachy décor to the party that looked fabulous! She is a huge part of why we had the time of our lives! Do not think twice whether you need a day of coordinator or someone to be there every step of the way. Teresa and her team are the best!” – Derek & Ally
