World-renowned wedding and celebrations planner to the stars, David Tutera will bring his expertise and artistic vision to Bermuda April 1-3, 2019 at the recently renovated Rosewood Bermuda in Tucker’s Town.

Aligning on style and location, the collaboration between the Bermuda Tourism Authority and the event and fashion designer’s team established Bermuda as the perfect fit for its 2019 Wedding & Event Planning Experience – propelling forward the island’s growing prominence in the destination weddings space.

Over the three days, David will open up his world, his mind and his creativity to attendees who are interested in getting into the event space or who are looking to breathe new life and excitement into their businesses. “My goal is to inspire, engage and encourage all attendees to share ideas and create a pathway for all to dream bigger. We couldn’t imagine a better backdrop than Bermuda with its pastel palettes, pink sand beaches and turquoise blue waters,” says David Tutera.

Guests will find each day to be filled with hands on experiences and inspiring speakers. Topics to include:

• Destination Weddings and Events

• Finding Your Clients – Social media and Marketing Seminar/Website Analysis

• Success Client Presentations

• Event Timelines

• Floral Experience

• SMART GOAL Workshop

David will also share with attendees how he translated his event planning and design success into a powerful retail brand which includes special occasion shoes to jewelry, invitations, candles and much more.

“We are thrilled to welcome David Tutera and his team out here in Bermuda and share the island’s allure and timeless mystique. These three days will be transformative beginning with yoga each morning on the island’s pink sand beaches and ending each night with events produced by local event planners at some of our most stunning venues,” said Victoria Isley, chief sales and marketing officer for the Bermuda Tourism Authority. “We encourage attendees to celebrate Bermuda’s cultures and create meaningful connections out here,” adds Isley.

Destination weddings have been a strategic focal point of the Bermuda Tourism Authority marketing team with several major developments over the past six months:

• Release of ‘Lost in the Moment’ Bermuda destination weddings video

• Announcement of the Munaluchi Bride’sCoterie Retreat (Dec 2018)

• Editorial coverage, advertising and event with Town & Country
