Meet our Dream Team

Pamela PJ Ott

PRESIDENT, destination wedding ELITE MBA specialist,  Director of romance, Gay wedding CERTIFIED, destination & RESORTS certified, SALES &  marketing

Hi, this is PJ. My passion is  creating special experiences, sharing amazing destinations and discovering new destinations! My champagne and confetti attitude is contageous and with dedication I help to discover your style and decor for your perfect destination wedding and special event. Together we create your dream venue. From classic to traditional with personal notes or an enhanced nature and eco design. Fusion with unforgettable island and cultural touches or a beach wedding under the stars at sunset with twinkling lights on the surf and shell centerpieces will have guests in awe. As a Designer of Destination Weddings and a quarter-decade of first hand experiences and training, the sky is the limit! If you can dream it, I can make it come true. Hundreds of locations and settings give unique, once-in-a-lifetime I DOs. From underwater to yacht, sky terraces with million dollar views of the clear turquoise ocean to Mayan ruins and temples. My hand-picked portfolio of partners believe in love for all couples. Anything is possible from chapel weddings to LGBTQ+ and au natural weddings. 

With Travel, Weddings, Destinations, Resorts and Brand Certifications, I continue training daily and travel for training. 

My loyalties: 3 adult children, 6 grand children, 1 new great grandson, 2 sisters, mother,  John & Lobo.

​As a child, her mother found her ready to fly from her bedroom window like Peter Pan. PJ should have known then her career would be in travel and fairytales!  

​A restless spirit that questions WHY,  John says there's a gentle soul hiding behind an adventurous sometimes bad-ass diva.

Just Married with PJ! Our Family Fiji Destination Wedding was unforgettable with our children. We made this postcard as a thank-you to all our guests! Thanks PJ, you helped create our perfect Fiji Wedding for us! We recommend her to everyone!  Sarah & Kyle 

​3/26/19: PJ helped me and my fiance book our honeymoon and was amazing. She walked us thru all the details so we knew what was going on and was super friendly!  ​We would definitely recommend PJ to other brides, family and friends! Sheri Jamaica, Royalton Resort

(some of our "happily ever after" couples)

​​"As soon as I got engaged I knew I wanted a destination wedding, but had no idea how to start the process. As soon as I finished my initial phone call with PJ I knew I could trust her to help me through the process. She was so patient with me as we spent almost 2 months researching every possible destination wedding idea I had. I finally made a decision for a Jamaica wedding and feel I made the absolute best decision for our priorities and budget. PJ helped me build my website, negotiate room rates, and reminds me that wedding planning is actually fun! Asking my family and friends to celebrate on my special day, PJ made the planning process for them as smooth as possible.  We would definitely recommend PJ to other couples and friends!  Rachael & Matt, Jamaica Destination Wedding, Sandals South Coast
