With the opening of Canterbury’s new wedding chapel, Keith Aldridge and his family provide a single location for couples to visit and plan their wedding. “We are very excited to move forward with this new venture and provide a single location for couples to visit our new chapel, banquet facility and several wedding vendors” said Keith Aldridge, vice president and general manager of Indianwood Country Club and Canterbury Village.

“We are building a network that provides couples with everything they need to plan their wedding from flowers to the honeymoon.”

Columbus, OH, April 5, 2010 –   Laura Frazier, founder of Bliss Honeymoons & Destination Weddings will be sharing her expertise in the romance travel niche at the Home Based Travel Agent Show in Ft.

The show is hosted by Travel Weekly, the most influential publication in the industry.

Niche travel continues to become increasingly important as consumers are overwhelmed and frustrated by online sites. ”The romance niche is an area where clients deserve to have more service and attention to detail”says Laura Frazier. ”For many couples it’s the most important, and expensive trip they’ll ever take. Agents need to fully understand the details that can make or break this trip”.

During this informative seminar, Ms. Frazier will be covering several topics for agents that are interested in either learning about the honeymoon niche or growing their existing company.  She’ll be sharing her years of marketing and travel experience including what worked and what did not; identifying client needs; creating valuable services rather than selling travel as a retail product; as well as helping brides get the most out value out of bridal shows.

We’re very excited that Home Based Travel Agent recognizes Bliss as a leader in romance travel, says Mike Whittaker, Director Social Networking for Bliss Honeymoons. What makes Bliss Honeymoons so good at what they do? Knowing their product! Our dealerships across the country regularly attend site visits, building and sharing our first-hand knowledge base of the best places for romance travel. We then take the time with our clients to understand what they consider romance and fit the perfect experience to them.
