Destination weddings
I've been the groom. Let me plan your trip to “I do.”
I got married at a destination wedding, so I know what it takes: picking the resort, wrangling the guest list, and making sure everyone actually books. I handle the travel side so you can enjoy being engaged.
What I handle
Everything that gets you and your guests there
- Resort and venue matchmakingCompare wedding packages, ceremony spots and guest prices side by side.
- Guest room blocksGroup rates for your guests, and the perks many resorts add when enough rooms book.
- Every guest booked for youYour guests call or email me directly. You get a running list of who's booked.
- A wedding page for your guestsOne link with the resort, dates, prices and how to book.
- The honeymoon, tooStay on, or head somewhere new. I'll plan the trip after the trip.
The timeline
Start 12 months out
A year gives you the best choice of dates and resorts, and gives guests time to save and get passports. Shorter timelines can work. Just ask.
- 12+ monthsPick the destination and resort, set the date, and open the guest room block.
- 9 to 10 monthsSend save-the-dates with your wedding page link. Guests start booking.
- 6 monthsChoose ceremony and reception details with the resort's wedding coordinator.
- 3 monthsRoom block deadline. Final guest list and payments.
- Wedding weekEveryone arrives. You get married. I'm a text away if anything comes up.
Wedding questions
Good to know
Do you charge a fee to plan our wedding travel?
No. The resort and tour operators pay my commission, so there's no fee for you or your guests.
Do our guests have to book through you?
It's strongly recommended. Guests who book in your group count toward your room block and any perks the resort offers, and I can tell you exactly who's booked.
What if a guest can only come for part of the week?
That's common. Guests can usually choose their own arrival and departure dates within the group.
Do we need passports?
For Mexico and the Caribbean, plan on a valid U.S. passport for every guest. Some countries require it to be valid for months past your return date, so tell guests to check early.
Should guests buy travel insurance?
I recommend it for every guest, especially when trips are booked many months ahead. I'll include coverage options when they book.
