As she tells the story, “He was so nervous almost losing his way, nearly forgetting his tie, and sweating up a storm.” With Beth’s help however, he made it to the ceremony on time and was as cool as a cucumber by the time he arrived. That ability to manage an exciting and emotional time in a person’s life is in part why there are Wedding Planners on this planet.
Beth has been a resident of Aruba for the past 21 years and if you ask her what she loves most about the island, she will tell you that it’s the sugary white sand beaches that must be experienced in order to be fully appreciated. Having worked in Aruba’s tourism industry since 2005, with a focus on presentation and décor, opening her own wedding planning firm was a natural next step and ultimate goal of Beth’s. Coupled with her background in the stage arts and Psychology, Beth has the perfect skill set to handle even the most complicated of weddings.
