What other upgrades do you have?
We have Caribbean fire dancers, rum & cigar bar, champagne wall, champagne towers, sparkler send offs. Ask us if there’s something specific you know you want.
What excursions do you have?
Your wedding doesn’t have to just be a 1 day experience. If you’d like, it can be a multiple day experience. Working with us, we’ll recommend the best people to you and you can book directly with them.
Can we have a rehearsal dinner at Villa Norbu?
You can, but we don’t recommend it because you’ll lose the wow factor of coming into Villa Norbu for the first time, and amazing people on your wedding day. Instead, we’ll help you coordinate a really special experience at another venue or restaurant. We do that to preserve the wow factor.
How will the weather be / can you tell me about the seasons (hurricanes, rainy season?)
Weather can be hit or miss in the Caribbean. We always recommend a company that insures your whole wedding for about $250, including flights, etc.
What happens if we need to change dates?
If you have to change dates, you will get credited for anything you’ve invested into your project. You won’t lose anything. We’ll move the date for you.
Is your venue handicap-friendly?
This is a hilly island, and there are stairs to get to the ceremonial area Villa Norbu. What we often do is set up anyone with a great view from just above, to look down and see the whole ceremony. We can also put their phone on FaceTime to see it from a closer up angle, without being left out.
Tell me about accommodation?
We’ll not just connect you to the broker, but to the villa owners directly so you can get the best deal. We have relationships with all these people. With hotels, we’ll connect you with the right people to get room-block rates. We streamline accommodations for you and make it easy.
