Destination weddings are a great option for couples looking to extend the celebration beyond 1-2 days, want a vacation to accompany their big day, and most importantly – want the wedding planning to be easy.
Between financial constraints, family dynamics, decision fatigue, and time constraints, the thought of planning a wedding can be exhausting before you even get started! Don’t fret though, this is where a destination wedding can help relieve a lot of this stress. With the help of a travel agent – at no cost! – you can rely on someone who knows the ins and outs of what you need and wants to enjoy your dream day.
While we often think of travel agents for trips such as exploring Europe, setting sail on a cruise, or assisting us with our next all-inclusive vacation, you may be surprised to learn that there are travel agents who solely focus on destination weddings. They understand the contracts required, deposit deadlines, travel details, wedding packages, and more. These are the folks you want on your side when it comes to planning your big day.

Location, location, location... and then pricing
When it comes to your destination wedding, where you will go is a big decision in itself! Perhaps you’ve dreamed of a remote island in the Caribbean, but have you considered flight routes to get there? Available resorts? This and other details are important to consider. The location you choose will impact pricing for you and your guests, so keep that in mind when deciding. Your travel agent will keep these details top of mind while helping you plan your destination wedding.
Wedding packages
What is your vision for your wedding? If you dream of being on the beach, with large floral arrangements surrounding you, amazing! Let’s make sure your wedding package includes that. Wedding packages vary by resort and include details such as – food, colors, flowers, cocktail hour, ceremony location and setup, and more. Be sure to share your dream wedding details with your travel agent so they can ensure this is included in your wedding package.
Guests and travel details
Of course, we can’t forget about including our loved ones during the big day! Your destination wedding travel agent will keep track of who is coming, their travel details and itinerary, if their deposit has been paid, and any additional details that need to be considered.
