Weddings Away! is a brand new six-hour series on the Travel Channel set in the natural beauty of the Cayman Islands. In Weddings Away! we'll catch up with perfectionist planner Jo-Anne Brown. Along with her daughters Amanda and Kristin, Joanne is currently rebuilding her wedding planning business, which was destroyed a year ago by hurricane Ivan. At the same time, there are still weddings to plan as she presides over a company of 35 full time employees including a floral department, rentals, design, prop building, and tuxedo rental. In each one-hour episode, we'll tell the story of two weddings. Jo-Anne and her team handle everything from intimate ceremonies for two to huge bridal party events. With more than 2000-3000 tourists arriving on cruise ships daily, Celebrations is an incredibly busy office, pulling off the impossible on a near-daily basis. In addition to the weddings, we'll get to know Grand Cayman from an insider¹s perspective as we go follow Jo-Anne and her family in their daily life and adventures. Picture-perfect destination weddings demand the ultimate energy and attention to detail, but Joanne wouldn't have it any other way because of the satisfaction she feels watching a bride walking down the aisle.
