Destination Weddings, Planned by Someone Who Knows the Industry Inside and Out
The Part of Destination Wedding Planning Nobody Warns You About
You've probably already pictured the ceremony, the reception, maybe even the welcome party. What most couples don't picture is the part that happens behind the scenes: getting 60, 100, or 150 guests actually booked, paid, and on their way to the resort.
It's a bigger job than it looks like from the outside. Resort contracts are written to protect the resort, not you. There are attrition clauses that can quietly cost you thousands if not enough guests book. And once your guests start reaching out with questions about rooms and rates, you're suddenly the point of contact for a hundred different conversations you never planned on having.
I've spent 12+ years in weddings, and I specialize exclusively in destination weddings in the Caribbean and Mexico. I've seen where this process tends to go wrong, and more importantly, I know how to keep it from happening to you. My job is to handle the resort contracts, the room block, and the guest travel, so you get to actually enjoy planning your wedding.

Think of it this way: I'm the one behind the scenes tracking every deadline, every contract term, and every guest question, so that from where you're standing, it all just feels like it's coming together.
How We'll Work Together
Strategy Call — We start with a conversation about your vision, your budget, and your guest count, so any recommendations I make are actually built around you.
Resort & Package Selection — I put together resort and package options that fit, then build your room block contract to protect your comp benefits and set guest-friendly terms.
Booking & Room Block Setup — I book your wedding with the resort and open your room block so guests can start reserving at exclusive rates. I will also guide you through setting up your wedding website and send your save the dates or invitations.
Guest Travel Management — Your guests get a dedicated booking link and a real person to answer their questions, while I track attrition, deadlines, and comp credits in the background.
Ongoing Oversight — From booking through arrival, I'm staying on top of every deadline so you don't have to.

Why Couples Choose to Work With Me
I planned weddings for 12+ years before becoming a travel advisor, so this isn't something I'm learning as I go. I specialize exclusively in the Caribbean and Mexico, which means I already know which resorts tend to overdeliver, which ones tend to fall short, and where the fine print usually hides.
When we work together, you're not passed off to a call center or a generic booking portal. You have one person who knows your wedding, your guest list, and your timeline, from our first conversation to the day everyone lands at the resort.
FAQs

Not at all, that's actually a great place to start. A lot of couples come to me before they've chosen a resort, which means we can build your plan from the ground up instead of working around decisions that are already locked in.
-
I'd recommend reaching out at least 14 to 18 months before your wedding date, especially for popular resorts and peak season dates. That gives us time to choose a resort and package, finalize your contract, and give your guests enough time to book comfortably.
-
The cost of a destination wedding can vary depending on your chosen location, resort, and guest count. On average, destination weddings will range from $15,000 - $35,000+ depending on the location, your wedding vision and guest count. We work with you to find a resort and wedding package that aligns with your vision and budget.
-
Absolutely! Many resorts offer customizable wedding packages to suit your style, from ceremony locations to reception options and decor details. We work with the resort’s wedding team and locally sourced vendors to ensure your wedding reflects your unique vision, whether you're dreaming of a beachfront ceremony, a private reception, or something completely one-of-a-kind.
-
Yes! We make sure your guests have access to your contracted group rates and can book their rooms directly through us. We’ll help coordinate the travel arrangements, so your guests don’t have to worry about anything.

Planning a destination wedding involves coordinating travel details for your guests, securing the best rates, managing accommodations, and handling resort communications, things that can quickly become overwhelming without the right expertise.
By working with us, you’ll have a dedicated professional who not only helps plan your wedding but also takes care of all the travel arrangements, making the entire process smooth, organized, and stress-free for you and your guests.
-
That's a fair thing to want to know. I've spent 12+ years in weddings and work exclusively in the Caribbean and Mexico, so this is genuinely what I do, not a side offering. Every recommendation I make is based on what actually works well for couples and their guests.

Destination Wedding Room Block Management is complimentary to you. We do offer full service wedding planning and onsite coordination for an additional fee. You are not obligated to opt into the upgrades; they’re here for added support but are not required.
