Acqualina Resort & Spa on the Beach Reveals the Wedding Dream Team

June 5, 2014 - Acqualina Resort & Spa introduces the Wedding Dream Team, four A-list event aficionados that will apply their flawless taste and design to two exquisite, customizable Miami Beach wedding packages: the Elegance Collection Wedding and Opulence Collection Wedding. Exclusive to the 5 star resort located in Miami's Sunny Isles Beach neighborhood, these new offerings present the most discerning couples with a tranquil wedding planning journey lead by a coveted group of industry experts.

The collaborators behind the two themes include Ceci Johnson, the internationally renowned stationary designer and go-to force among royalty, celebrities and luxury brands; Jennifer Cohen, a specialist in event styling and distinctive floral designs and décor with Xquisite Events; Ana Paz, the "baker to the stars" who has mastered extravagant pastry design over her 36 year tenure; and Pablo Oliveira, president of Miami's exclusive Nüage Designs and industry leader widely recognized for his high-level of sophistication and cutting edge concepts. Dedicated to creating weddings teeming with celebration and romance, Acqualina's Wedding Dream Team accounts for all elements of the big day – from bridal party florals and ceremony design, to the reception's table décor, cocktail-hour and dinner menus.

Reminiscent of a Mediterranean-style villa, Acqualina is a 98-room seaside haven that presents itself as a Miami wedding destination of-choice. Set on nearly five acres and 400-feet of glistening Atlantic shoreline, the ultra-luxury resort in South Florida will become a picturesque backdrop for indoor and outdoor fairy tale weddings with a bevy of elegant settings for ceremonies and receptions, including poolside cabanas, oceanfront lawns, and Mediterranean-inspired rooms with scenic wrap-around terraces. The resort's pronounced level of service, along with its food and beverage program, spearhead by local award-winning chef Dewey LoSasso, will complement the work of Johnson, Cohn, Paz, and Oliveira to create a flawless experience.

Additionally, Acqualina Resort & Spa houses the 20,000 square-foot Acqualina Spa by ESPA, an idyllic destination for pre and post-wedding indulgence. A localized expression of the global ESPA brand philosophy centered on Ayurvedic principles, this two story escape offers a range of massage, body, and skincare treatments. The spa also boasts private facilities in Miami that include crystal steam rooms, refreshing ice fountains, and experience showers that feature cool arctic or warm Caribbean mists, encouraging guests to seek a supreme state of relaxation even before entering one of the 11 multi-functional Miami Beach treatment rooms, four beauty suites, or the private spa suite that can also be used for bridal party gatherings. Professional hair care, manicures, pedicures, waxing, and makeup services are available in the resort's Acqualina Hair Salon by Voi, located on the hotel's mezzanine level.
