To begin the planning process for a destination wedding is not unlike planning for a traditional wedding. The earlier you start the process, the more options there are available regarding the destination, resort, ceremony location, etc. There are so many options to consider for the wedding location. You can choose from numerous resorts that offer beach, garden and rooftop venues. If you want something more private, there are villas and private locations available. I will offer my professional recommendations to guide you in making the best choices for your wedding away.

destination wedding planning tips

The things to think about & start planning as soon as possible (12 months to two years ahead of time) are:

  • Determine your budget – this needs to include your travel expenses
  • Narrow down your location & the time of year
  • Symbolic or legal wedding ceremony
  • Start discussing the options available with your destination wedding specialist

Reduce the stress of planning and wasting hours researching online. I know the destinations, the resorts and locations that are available. I will provide you with professional recommendations to help you make the right choices, and will be there with you every step of the way.

What are your travel memories worth?

What price are your travel memories worth? You can’t put a price tag on a great experience and cherished memories. A travel specialist provides you with more value and a personalized travel package just for you.

If you are shopping on price alone; how bad does a cheap trip have to be for it not to have been worth taking?

There are too many stories of the ‘great’ online travel deals, with a horrible ending! You book what appears to be the perfect resort, only to arrive and it is nothing like it was described to be. Everything you see on the internet is true, right?

I have personally visited the destinations and resorts that I recommend; I go, so you will know. Each destination and resort offer something different, and are not a “one size fits all.”

What is on your wish list? Are you in search or adventure? Looking for the most romantic spot? Want to go off the beaten path?

As your travel specialist, I will listen to you and make professional recommendations based on the experience you want and personalize your travel package.

Let’s work together to create your cherished travel memories.

Why You Need To Find A Good Travel Agent

Now more than ever you need to find a good travel agent. Airline cancellations, hotel and resort closures, travel restrictions, and destination entry requirements vary.

There are numerous consumer complaints about online travel sites and their spotty record of customer service recently, and those that just closed up shop never to be heard from again. Past & current issues ranging from unspecified post-trip charges to credit cards, airline tickets being rebooked to the wrong destination after a schedule change, being bounced from one supplier to another to resolve a problem, and hotel reservations not on record when guests show up. Add to that long hold times and dropped calls when needing to talk to a human and a lack of response to questions and complaints.

There are numerous stories about how agents saved the day for their clients. Getting them where they needed to go, and then working to get their customers refunds and credits. This is the best reason to work with a good travel agent, advocacy. Travel advisors have relationships with those who make decisions. If something goes wrong you have someone to step in to help you.

People are getting fed up with their online travel experience. Google’s research shows it takes 32 visits to 10 websites just to book a single airline ticket. Don’t waste your time or money; find a travel advisor to work with.
