Dream destination wedding comes true on shores of The Westin Resort, Aruba

PALM BEACH –This past weekend, New Jersey couple Valerie Lohsen and Steven Gayol were joined by 34 family members and friends for a romantic sunset wedding on Palm Beach.

The magical toes-in-the-sand ceremony, as well as a bevy of wedding festivities, was coordinated by the special events and wedding team at The Westin Resort, Aruba, headed by Inge van Roon and wedding specialist Jancis Tromp.

When it came to choosing a locale for this special day, Aruba was at the top of the list, especially since Steven has been coming to Aruba since he was seven-years old!

Joining Valerie and Steven were her father Ray and his wife Norma, her sister Sabrina and her brother-in-law Kevin; on the groom’s side were parents Rene and Maria, as well as sisters Stephanie and Vivian, and brothers-in-law Michael and Keith. Reverend Gregory Lyder officiated the ceremony, and “Steel Emotions” provided the music.

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails at Westin's al fresco Sirocco Lounge and dinner and dancing in the Starwood Gallery.
