Getting Everyone to Book Their Travel? Ugh.

Coordinating your family, your fiancé’s friends, and random cousins to get their flights and hotel rooms booked? No thanks. Chasing people down for RSVPs is already hard enough! I’ll create a custom group page where everyone can book their own travel without you playing middleman. I’ll even manage the payment plans, so all your guests know exactly what to do. You won’t have to worry about a thing!

Managing Deposits and Payment Plans

Trying to keep track of deposits, deadlines, and multiple payments feels like doing math homework again. No one wants that. Leave the money stuff to me. I’ll handle all the deposits and payment schedules, so you (and your guests) won’t have to stress over due dates or random fees. I’ll make it easy peasy.

Keeping Guests Happy Without Losing Your Mind

Your mom wants a traditional wedding, your friends are asking about the party scene, and your fiancé just wants to make sure everyone’s happy. Balancing all those opinions? Yikes. I’ll help you create the wedding of your dreams while keeping the crowd satisfied. We’ll make sure everyone has a good time—without you having to compromise your vision.

Why we love destination weddings…

Making Sure Your Wedding Feels Like You

You want your wedding to be unique, not a cookie-cutter package that a hundred other brides have had. You need those personal touches to make it yours. I’m all about customizing the experience. From personalized decor to unique guest experiences, I’ll make sure your wedding is 100% you, with all the little details that make it special.

Stress-Free Planning from Start to Finish

Forget about the spreadsheets, long emails, and late-night Google searches. I’ll be with you every step of the way. Think of me as the bestie who has all the answers—whether you’re worried about guest accommodations, wedding-day details, or even post-wedding travel plans (aka your honeymoon!). We’ll get it all sorted so you can enjoy every second.

I realize you might still have some questions…

What will the cost breakdown look like for me and my guests?

What will the cost breakYour guest pricing will look like this – Cost of accommodations + transfer + Flights + trip protection if desired.

Your pricing as the Wedding Couple will look like this – Cost of accomodations + transfer + Flights + trip protection if desired. + Cost of wedding

Additionally, you can choose to arrange a group excursion for you and your guests or your wedding party.down look like for me and my guests?

Do we, the wedding couple, receive any perks when booking a destination wedding?

Yes! One of the best things about destination weddings at all- inclusive resorts are the perks! Depending on the resort, the perks are based on how many room nights are booked. Those perks range from free room upgrades, free room nights (you receive the monetary value back), free wedding events like a cocktail hour, 3-hour reception, and even a $1,000 credit for the bride and groom!

  • Perks and concessions are based on a certain number of room nights booked.

What if a guest wants to book on their own?

For flexible groups, guests can book on their own but they will miss out on the cost savings and perks the other guests receive. If doing a room block, they could run into additional fees to attend the wedding events, but they will also not be getting support from your travel advisor, and you the couple, will lose out on those room nights that go towards the perks and concessions you may receive. If a guest books at an entirely different hotel they will also need to pay an additional fee for a day pass to the resort. Likely when you add everything up with transportation, financially it wouldn’t make sense. We include this information in the booking link your guests will receive.

What exactly does a Certified Destination Wedding Travel Advisor do?

  • We take the time to listen to your preferences for your dream wedding and guide to the destination and resort is right for you.
  • We help you decide on ceremony and reception locations based on your preferences.
  • We check availability and confirm wedding date and request locations for ceremony, cocktail, and reception.
  • Negotiate group rates and make room requests.
  • Work with your guests to make their travel arrangements, including airport transportation and travel insurance and providing a booking site for them to do so.
  • Communicate with resort management on your behalf should any issues arise.
  • Provide a wedding website if desired.
  • Provide an online guestlist so you know who has booked.
  • Answer questions from your guests about the destination, resort, travel, excursions, weather, etc.
  • Organize group excursion or activities for you and your guests.
  • Design your honeymoon in either the same destination or a different location.

Will my travel advisor be at the resort to handle wedding details on site?

Most resorts have a designated on-site wedding coordinator and wedding departments that are like well-oiled machines, they orchestrate unforgettable weddings constantly and do an incredible job making your special day perfect! They take care of all of the fun wedding planning details. However, if you prefer to have your Travel advisor onsite to help with anything travel related, greeting guests and assisting with check ins and check outs, accepting deliveries to the resort on your behalf, organizing excursions etc we would be happy to provide this concierge service at an additional cost.

Do my guests have to book flights through our destination wedding travel advisor?

No, guests can book flights on their own if they’d like to, especially if they want to use credit card points to do so. They can still book transfers, accommodations, and travel insurance through the booking portal. We will just ask them to send over their flight information in order to confirm their transfer pickup times.

How do you, our travel advisor, get paid?

I receive a commission from the resorts for handling the booking. No planning fees here, no cost to you! Rest assured – I don’t work for commission; I work for you. Meaning: commissions do not influence my choices. The most important factor is that you are happy with my recommendations, so in order to have repeat customers, I need to put the customers first. And for what it’s worth, I don’t find differences in commission to be impactful enough to sway my suggestions.

We also want to enjoy a honeymoon after our wedding can you help with that too?

Absolutely! Whether it is at the same resort in an upgraded room, the same destination at another dreamy resort, or a different destination to explore with your sweetheart, we would be honored to design your honeymoon for you as well!

Which ceremonies are available Legal, Symbolic, or Religious?

  • ach country has it’s own legal requirements in order for a wedding to be legally recognized. This includes things like blood tests, translated documents, legal officiants, a certain length of stay in destination, etc. which will include higher fees. Then you will have to wait for the legal documents to be sent to you at home and then work with local requirements to have your wedding legally recognized. You will find exact requirements at the destination’s U.S. embassy website and at your local courthouse.
  • Symbolic ceremonies are a much easier process without legal documents required, most couples like to have an intimate courthouse wedding with their closest family members or alone as a couple prior to leaving or in celebration after their Destination Wedding.
  • Religious ceremonies have special needs of their own. Certain resorts in certain destinations ensure that specific venue and officiant requirements are met to be able to perform these ceremonies. Your advisor will guide you to the right resorts for you.

OMG, What If It Rains?!

You’ve been dreaming of a beach wedding, but what if the weather has other plans? The idea of a rainstorm on your big day is freaking you out. I’ll help you pick the best date with the least chance of rain, and I’ll make sure there’s a solid backup plan in place just in case. We’ll keep the vibe beautiful and chill, no matter what.

Wedding Packages That Won’t Break the Bank (or Your Sanity)

One of the biggest questions I hear is: “What’s included?” or “How much is this going to cost?” Well, great news—destination wedding packages are often more budget-friendly than you think. Plus, I know which resorts are offering killer deals (hello, complimentary ceremony upgrades and free nights!). I’ll make sure you’re getting the most value out of your package without compromising on the little details that make it you.

Let’s plan the destination wedding of your dreams – one that’s as unique as you are. Ready to get started?

Here’s an uncomfortable truth about travel planning. Everyone totally underestimates exactly how long it’ll take to plan a well-coordinated trip, and they forget what their time is actually worth. Let’s run some math. The average trip takes about 20 hours to plan. That includes researching, narrowing down choices, booking all of the details, and then filing away everything so you can find it for the actual trip. Now let’s say your time is billed at $60/hour - that’s $1,200. That’s a decent chunk of change. Now if the idea of delegating all that research, planning and booking sounds more appealing than spending $1,200 of your time, you’ve come to the right place! My travel planning services can make it a breeze. You save time, and you get an expertly curated trip that is planned with just as much care as you’d put into it yourself.
