Destination Weddings & Honeymoons by Vacationisms

y - if you are planning a destination wedding you NEED Sara and her team on your side. I took a stab in the dark and emailed Vacationisms in the middle of the night, mid meltdown while I was trying to plan everything on my own.... I was on the phone with Sara by 8 am the next morning and honestly, my life drastically improved and it was all up hill from there! Don’t be me, don’t start planing without Vacationisms, learn from my meltdown and reach out to them immediately. Like, right now. Stop whatever else you’re doing, you will thank me!!

his review - but if you take nothing else from this - just HIRE SARA! The level of professionalism, attention to detail, and support from every single step beginning to end and knowledge of resorts and locations was amazing and beyond helpful. I found Vacationsims during a 1am google search, mid-meltdown while trying to plan our destination wedding on my own. Sara responded first thing in the morning, scheduled a call with me immediately and, I kid you not, said “give me a list of what you are stressing out about, and losing sleep over, and I will help you take it from there.” My God! That was music to my lack of sleep, mentally fried, emotionally distraught self. Sara helped us nail down the perfect country, part of the country and then resort to have our wedding. She did this not just by making suggestions, but by listening to what was important to us: budget, swimmable ocean, the right temperature, accommodating our group of 50 plus, flight costs and availability in the winter season coming from the Midwest, resort size, resort amenities, wedding packages and the ability to build our own concept. All of it! Seriously, the list goes on and on. Once we selected the perfect location, Sara was there for me every step of the way - working with our coordinator for the wedding itself, giving suggestions about our wedding because she had ACTUALLY been to the property and could speak to it specifically, and had personal connections there to keep things moving smoothly along the way. Having been on site may seem like a small detail, but let me tell you - game changer! We found so much comfort in making decisions because Sara and her team were able to actually speak to personal experiences on the property. Sara and her team also did an incredible job helping all 50 plus of our guests book flights, the resort, airport transportation, ACTIVITIES, spa appointments –everything. My guests also raved about how comforting it was to have someone so knowledgeable making all of their arrangements. One would think that once our trip was booked and final wedding details were hammered out, Sara and her team's job would be done. Realistically, it should have been. HOWEVER, Sara checked in on us every single step of the way - she was there for some unforeseen flight issues, she answered texts and phone calls (HAPPILY) and solved concerns I had while on site at the resort immediately. Planning a destination wedding, you are GOING to have some issues or concerns/questions once you get on site, it’s just the name of the game - but, having Sara to help smooth things out, dot I’s and cross T’s meant SO much less stress for us and our families - and so much more enjoying ourselves upon arrival. I could go on forever - but I’ll spare you... hands down, do NOT try to book and plan your own destination wedding. I promise you, hiring Vacationisms will be the single handed best decision you will make in your planning process. Our wedding was a dream, and none of it would have been possible without Sara and her team. Happy Getting Married in Paradise Planning!

tions and provided invaluable guidance for us as we had never planned such an extensive vacation. Our resort was fabulous and from her personal suggestion list. Sara goes above and beyond for her clients, whether is basic questions or frenzied questions mid-flight about customs forms! We will use Sara for every and any type of vacation we take now. She took all the guesswork and anxiety out of travel planning. I can’t possibly imagine there is anyone better out there!

veral great locations that fit what we were looking for in a honeymoon. She went over the pros and cons of each location with us, and once we decided where to book, Sara took care of every detail. Upon our arrival at the resort, we had quite a few issues (they gave us the wrong room, lost our luggage on the resort.. a total nightmare, but of course, this had nothing at all to do with Sara.). As soon as I told Sara what was going on, she jumped RIGHT into action to smooth everything out and got in touch with her contacts at the resort right away. Though I wish our first day could have gone more smoothly, it was SO INCREDIBLE to have someone handle all of the issues for us. Sara urged us to grab a drink and relax, and assured us that she would take care of everything.... and she did! While there will always be hiccups, it's so awesome to know that you have someone who will be able to handle things for you, so you can have the stress-free trip you dreamed of.... Sara really goes above and beyond; I'm still in disbelief at how much she took care of for us, from another country no less! Using Sara was one of the best decisions we could have made.. I don't think I could ever travel out-of-the-country without her as our agent, knowing how well she took care of us!! THANK YOU for everything Sara... you are truly the best!!!
