TRAVELING TO

WHERE YOUR DREAM DESTINATION WEDDING
begins


You said “yes." You chose a destination wedding. And then came the Google spiral - resort after resort that all sounds the same, packages that raise more questions than they answer, and a guest list full of people counting on you to figure it out.

That is exactly where I come in.

I'm Kerri Logan Shirk, aka Caribbean Kerri - owner of Sunlover Travel and one of the most decorated Sandals and Beaches destination wedding specialists in the world. Before I became your advocate, I was on the inside: a former Sandals Business Development Manager and a Sandals destination wedding bride myself. I know these resorts from the inside out. I know what packages actually include, which venues photograph best, and which properties shine for large groups versus intimate celebrations.

With more than 15 years of experience, hundreds of celebrations planned, and elite certifications directly from Sandals and Beaches Resorts, I walk you through every step - from choosing the right resort to managing guest travel, room blocks, and all of the logistics in between. You focus on getting married in paradise. I take care of everything else.

And my planning services are completely free to you.


What is a Sandals WeddingMoon?

Sandals created the Weddingmoon - the idea that your wedding and your honeymoon can happen in the same breathtaking place, during the same unforgettable week. Rather than coordinating two seperate trips, your ceremony, your celebration, and your romance all happen together, surrounded by turquoise water, white sand, and world-class all-inclusive luxury.

It is one of the most seamless, stress-free ways to begin a marriage - and it is one of my absolute specialties.

As a certified Sandals WeddingMoon specialist, I help you design both the wedding experience and the honeymoon experience as one beautifully connected week. Every detail is intentional. Every moment is yours.

From intimate overwater ceremonies to lush garden gazebos and sunset-glow receptions, these curated favorites offer the perfect backdrop for your destination wedding. Whether your dream is serenity, celebration, or a blend of both, these resorts bring your vision to life.

FREE ANNIVERSARY night

One more reason to say “I do” in paradise.

It’s the perfect way to relive the magic — just the two of you, surrounded by tropical gardens, turquoise water, and the same white-sand beaches where it all began. An all-inclusive anniversary escape that lets you slow down, reconnect, and fall in love all over again.

THE SUNLOVER TRAVEL
difference


Because who you plan with makes all the difference.

When you choose Sunlover Travel, you’re not just booking rooms. You are choosing a partner who remembers your story, your priorities, and what matters most during this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

Here’s what sets us apart:

OVER A DECADE of Firsthand Experience
I have personally walked the beaches, met the on-site wedding planners, toured the ceremony venues, and experienced the suites at every Sandals and Beaches resort in the Caribbean. When I recommend a property, it is because I have been there - not because it showed up in a search result.
Award-Winning
Recognition
From The Knot Best of Weddings and Hall of Fame to the Sandals Chairman’s Elite Royal Platinum - a designation held by the top 5% of travel agents in the world - our awards are the industry's confirmation of what my couples already know: this is an extraordinary level of service, year after year.
Concierge-Level
Care
I listen deeply, plan carefully, and stay available throughout your entire planning journey. From your first resort inquiry to the morning you arrive on the beach, I am in your corner. And my services are always completely free to you.

Owner of Sunlover Travel

Kerri Logan Shirk

When it comes to planning a destination wedding, who you trust matters more than almost anything else.

I am Kerri Logan Shirk - owner of Sunlover Travel and known throughout the travel industry as Caribbean Kerri. My connection to Sandals runs deeper than most. I am a former Sandals Business Development Manager who spent years learning the resorts and teaching their programs to travel agents. I know how the resorts operate, what sets each property apart, and what a couple actually needs to know before they book. I am also a former Sandals destination wedding bride - so I have lived the experience I now help you plan.

For over 15 years, I have guided couples through destination weddings across Jamaica, St Lucia, Barbados, Turks and Caicos, Curacao, St Vincent, Antigua, Grenada and the Bahamas. I know which resorts shine for large groups and which are built for intimate celebrations. I know the questions to ask the on-site planners, the upgrades worth requesting, and the details that separate a beautiful wedding from an unforgettable one.

When you work with me, you are not just supported - you are understood, advocated for, and treated like the whole thing matters. Because it does.

FAQs

Booking a destination wedding is nothing like booking a vacation. The contracts, group room blocks, guest logistics, and resort coordination require real expertise. As a certified Sandals and Beaches Specialist as well as a Gold WeddingMoons Specialist, with over 15 years of experience and top industry awards o show for it, I navigate it all for you.  You get better results, better group rates and a planning process that actually feels managable.

The best Sandals resort for your wedding depends on your vision, guest count, and vibe. Sandals South Coast is stunning for overwater ceremonies. Sandals Grande St. Lucian offers breathtaking 360 degree ocean views. Sandals Grande Antigua sits on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. As a certified Sandals specialist, I help you narrow it down based on what matters most to you.

Sandals or Beaches wedding packages accommodate anywhere from just the two of you all the way up to 140 guests. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a full celebration with family and friends, there’s a package designed for your group size.

Yes, completely.  I manage room blocks, booking logistics, guest communications and travel coordination for your entire group. My couples consistently tell me this is the single most valuable part of what I do – it takes the heaviest lift entirely off their plate.

Nothing. My services are completely free for destination wedding couples. I am compensated by the resorts, not by you – which means you receive full concierge-level assistance at no added cost.

Yes! Every Sandals and Beaches Resorts provides a complimentary on-site wedding planner who manages the ceremony and event details. My role is to handle all travel and group logistics — together, you get seamless end-to-end support from start to finish.

I handle it. While policies vary by resort brand, in most cases I am able to work directly with the resort to move your entire wedding group to a new date – so the only thing you need to decide is when.  In 2025 alone I navigated three full wedding reschedulings due to weather disruptions. All couples made it to paradise.  That is the whole point of having a seasoned specialist in your corner.

Sandals and Beaches wedding packages include a ceremony setup, officiant, wedding cake, sparkling wine toast, and more depending on the package you choose. As your certified Sandals specialist, I walk you through exactly what each package includes and help you choose the best fit for your vision and budget.

Absolutely. Most of our couples plan their entire Sandals destination wedding without a site visit. Between my firsthand knowledge of every Sandals property and detailed virtual consultations, you’ll feel completely confident in your choice without ever needing to book a separate trip.”

Sandals Resorts are adults only, making them ideal for couples who want a romantic, intimate atmosphere. Beaches Resorts welcome families and children, perfect if you want little ones included in your celebration. Both offer stunning wedding packages and all inclusive luxury. I help you decide which brand is the right fit for your guest list and vision.

Ideally 12 to 18 months out, especially if you have a large guest group or a specific resort and date in mind. That said, we have helped couples pull off beautiful Sandals and Beaches weddings in as little as a few months. Reach out as soon as you know you want a destination wedding and we’ll figure out the timeline together.
