Viceroy Hotels & Resorts is introducing wedding packages with a complimentary one-year anniversary getaway, which recognizes that many couples have had their dream days postponed over the last year. The I Do & Anniversary for Two packages are designed to help couples make the most of the present moment with microwedding-style ceremonies and receptions according to the current safety protocols, rather than having to continue waiting before tying the knot and celebrating.
Jane O'Shea, Viceroy Hotels & Resorts Vice President of Sales, says "The sense of newfound excitement and joy around traveling and weddings right now is palpable as we've seen our wedding inquiries more than double from January 2020."
Additionally, Viceroy's partnership with Over The Moon gives couples access to styling service upgrades.
