Weddings are a joyous time for celebration, and not just on the big day—half the fun is enjoying all the extra parties that surround this special time, from engagement parties and bridal showers to bachelor/bachelorette parties and rehearsal dinners. In our “Party On” Series, we collaborated with some of the island’s best wedding/event planners, florists, resorts, chefs, and bartenders to create six unique events to inspire couples looking for just the right combination of food, drinks, décor, and more!
