On April 5, 2025 We Were Married on the White Sandy Beach in Front of the Crystal Blue Waters of the Caribbean at the Royalton Bavaro in Punta Cana! Every aspect of the Wedding Day and the entire week was amazing for us and our 34 other guests thanks to the consulting, planning and assistance of Carrie Oztas of Destination Weddings! She helped us from the beginning to the end and for this we are very grateful! She was available, intuitive and very knowledgeable.

We were initially unsure about going with a travel agency but we are so glad we did! Kimberly Koehn from destinationweddings.com was absolutely fantastic. Her responses were always extremely quick and she always knew the answer to our questions. Transportation to and from the hotel from our guests was simple and efficient. I highly recommend their services!

Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming, but our dream wedding turned into an incredible, joy-filled, and stress-free reality thanks to Lisa at Destination Weddings. From start to finish, Lisa was truly the MVP of this journey, and we are beyond grateful for her expertise, kindness, and dedication.
👰🏽♀️🤵🏽 Our Wedding Story:
We got married on March 29th, 2025, at the breathtaking Dreams Playas Mujeres resort, surrounded by 70 of our closest family and friends—and 6 of the cutest little ones. We wanted a wedding that felt intimate yet vibrant, luxurious but deeply personal. Lisa helped us find the perfect place, the perfect package, and the perfect experience that reflected exactly who we are.
From our very first call, Lisa listened. She asked thoughtful questions, anticipated our needs before we could voice them, and supported us through every decision. Whether it was helping guests navigate booking, managing group travel logistics, or reassuring us when small things felt big—Lisa was always one step ahead.
✈️ The Planning Process:
Lisa managed the travel arrangements for all of our guests with grace and efficiency. We had people flying in from multiple cities, and she kept every detail organized while communicating updates clearly and kindly. The portal she set up was super helpful for our guests, and she answered questions promptly—even on weekends!
💍 The Big Day:
When we arrived at the resort, everything Lisa promised was already in motion. She coordinated seamlessly with our wedding coordinator onsite, and her thoughtful planning made the experience smooth, luxurious, and unforgettable.
🌟 Why Lisa Deserves a Standing Ovation:
Incredibly responsive and professional
Warm, genuine, and patient with everyone
Knowledgeable about resorts, wedding packages, and group travel
Made us feel heard, supported, and stress-free
Went above and beyond—even after the trip—to check in and celebrate with us
If you’re planning a destination wedding and want someone who genuinely has your back and cares about your day as much as you do, do yourself a favor and reach out to Lisa at Destination Weddings. She’s the real deal; we can’t imagine doing this without her.
With so much love and gratitude,
Dr. Shenequa & Andre Foulks

Honestly, I had no idea what to expect when planning a destination wedding. Melinda, our travel agent, was nothing but very kind to us from the start, and saved us a few times too!
I'll start with the highlights:
PROS: If it's important, she made it happen ASAP. Examples - we did go out of the country; when we arrived at the island my brother's room reservation was completely wrong. He called Melinda (mind you, this was like 6 PM on a Wednesday) and she told him not to worry and IMMEDIATELY rectified the issue and got him a new room even when it said the resort was sold out. Second, our airport transportation never reached out to my guests when returning home and could not be reached so she managed to call, organize transportation for ALL guests, AND email everyone their pick up times within a single evening.
CONS: Not as accessible for guest communication. But to be honest, I expect my husband and I to be the priority - so she doesn't need to micro manage all 53 of my guests and their random email questions. She did nearly always respond to my husband and I, but if its via email we just had to be patient - sometimes a week between responses. If you are an advocate for what you need, she will oblige!
Overall - Melinda was quick to solve any problems and that is what we needed! Would recommend her to anyone.

Our destination wedding in the Dominican Republic was an absolute dream come true, thanks to Maggie Elles from Destination Weddings. From the initial planning stages to the final details, Maggie's assistance was incredible. She made the entire process stress-free, especially with over 60 guests. Her outstanding service and insightful advice on resorts and options were a game-changer. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend working with Maggie!

We used destination weddings for our wedding March 2025 and it was the best process ever! We had a year to plan and prep and they made everything seem so easy and seamless. Every detail on the wedding day was spot on. Our family and friends were able to meet us in Mexico and celebrate our wedding but also have an amazing vacation. 10/10 would recommend this company!! We LOVED working with Kimberlee.

Choosing DestinationWeddings (specifically Amy Cate) was just the start to our amazing day & week! Amy gave us many resort options after we told her our budget, location, and vibe preferences. There were many resorts that she had been to herself so we got to see first hand pictures & experiences! We ended up going with Secrets Playa Blanca & we could not be happier! Amy made everything so easy & truly a great experience. P.S. They really are free!

I had my wedding at Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa on 2/20/25 and would highly recommend not only this venue but also using DestinationWeddings.com to help you plan! My coordinator was Melinda Shelley and she has been working with me for a year and a half to get everything in order. The services through DW are free and Melinda was so attentive to me and my guests throughout the entire process. She helped me pick this resort, set up a room block, and communicate everything with the resort wedding department. One of the most difficult decisions for me was choosing a resort. Melinda gave me all of the information I needed and also had great personal insight into many of the resorts since they frequently travel and view these locations themselves.
Everything was very seamless and she also helped us with guests' changes in rooming plans or flight delays impacting transportation. All of our guests also had great things to say about working with Melinda to book their accommodations. I would highly recommend Melinda and DW to anyone in need of assistance. They even reimbursed me special perks in the end as well! Melinda was 10/10 the most courteous, attentive, and kind coordinator we could have asked for. I am so happy she was matched with us because she helped me make all of my wedding dreams a reality!

Samantha Russom did a fantastic job helping us plan our Cancun wedding.
A destination wedding has a ton of logistical planning that traditional weddings do not, Samantha helped guide us and our guests through each step of the process. I always felt like I was in good hands when I was working with her, and she promptly answered all of our questions (we had a lot of them!) She sent out detailed information for our guests at the appropriate times.
Our wedding would not have gone so smoothly and been so memorable without her help, she deserves a lot of credit. I highly recommend working with destinationweddings.com and specifically Samantha!

We had the pleasure of working with Karen for our destination wedding, and she was absolutely amazing! Managing a group of nearly 100 people could’ve been overwhelming, but Karen made everything seem effortless. She kept us all on schedule and ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish, all while maintaining a positive attitude and a smile.
Her attention to detail was remarkable, and it was clear that she truly cares about her clients' experience. We were so impressed that we’ve already referred two other couples to her!
If you're looking for a coordinator who can handle any challenge with grace and professionalism, we highly recommend Karen. We’d certainly love to work with her again (under different circumstances, of course! lol).

Janice Gwilliam from Destination Weddings was amazing in helping me plan my wedding in Mexico for 55 guests! When my fiancé and I decided on a destination wedding we had no idea where to start. I was introduced to Janice who instantly got the ball rolling on different locations, venues, and dates with lots of info to help us make decisions. She was very quick to respond and answer all our questions for the entire year we were planning. My guests all got the best price at a great resort thanks to Janice and we had a beautiful wedding!

**Review for Destination Weddings**
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We couldn't be happier with the exceptional service we've received from **Destination Weddings**, especially Sharon! Planning a destination wedding can be daunting, but Sharon has made the entire process so much smoother and enjoyable.
From day one, she has been incredibly attentive and professional, helping us coordinate every detail with precision and care. Our family dynamics are nuanced (to say the least), but Sharon handled everything with such grace and understanding that it felt effortless. She communicated with everyone involved, kept us on track with timelines, and made sure every aspect of our big day was thoughtfully planned and executed.
What really stood out was her ability to navigate challenges while always keeping us calm and confident. Knowing that Sharon was in charge gave us peace of mind and allowed us to focus on enjoying the journey.
If you're looking for a team that truly understands how to make your dream wedding come to life, look no further than Destination Weddings—and ask for Sharon! We highly recommend them.

We have been working with Jennifer Corrigan for almost two years to make sure our dream wedding was just right. She not only made our dreams come true, but she worked with our families day and night to make sure all of their travel arrangements were solid and all of their questions were answered. I cannot recommend Destination Weddings and Jenn enough!!!!!!!! Everyone was SO professional and extremely knowledgeable about the entire process. I was skeptical at first because setting up a wedding in a place I have never been with someone I don't know does not sound very appealing... but I was so so wrong. If you are looking for the time of your life with someone who knows the ropes, go here (and go with Jenn).

Had the most amazing experience with Cathy Byrnes from Destination Weddings who helped us plan our destination wedding travel to Punta de Mita.
Prior to our wedding, we had been a guest at a friends wedding and booked as a guest through Cathy. After that experience was so seamless, it was a no brainer to use her for our own wedding.
We had a complicated group with several gateways, multiple airlines and a few unique scenarios. Cathy went way out of her way to assist us. Not only did she bend over backwards for us, she was prompt and available when it came to communication and was so KIND to us and our guests throughout the entire process.
We can’t recommend her enough and have already referred some friends to her.

Planning a destination wedding can be a daunting task, but working with Sherryl Dabbs from Destination Weddings made it an absolute breeze. From start to finish, Sherryl was prompt in communication and incredibly organized, ensuring that every detail was handled with care. She made the entire process so seamless that we were able to fully enjoy the experience without stress.
One of the standout aspects of working with Sherryl was her meticulous attention to detail. She gathered all of our guests’ travel information and preferences, making sure that everyone was taken care of and where they needed to be. It was such a relief to know that we didn’t have to worry about coordinating every little thing—she truly took the weight off our shoulders.
On top of all that, Sherryl went above and beyond to make our day extra special by surprising us with a limo ride to the resort. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture that added a touch of luxury to an already perfect experience.
Thanks to Sherryl, planning our destination wedding felt easy and enjoyable, and we can’t recommend hers and Destination Weddings services enough.

Maggie was a joy to work with! Super helpful and did everything she could to make sure things went smoothly. Very positive experience working with Maggie. Only slightly negative note is I feel the response time of 2-4 days minimum and her being out of office almost every time I reached out was a little frustrating, feel like it was hit or miss getting a prompt response back if I or guests had a question. BUT, I understand Maggie works in the travel industry and she appears to soak up every opportunity to travel, I don’t blame her, haha. If you’re patient, I would 100% recommend working with Maggie!
I would suggest she take OFF Royalton Antigua from her list of recommendations for destination weddings. I don’t have many positive things to say about our experience there. Place is a HOT mess. Our wedding photographer the resort provided was lack luster and super controlling and wasn’t open to any ideas I suggested for photos. Ceremony venue was NOT private despite the description and photos, it was in the common pool area and we had people watching and it didn’t feel intimate at ALL. Photos here. Food was absolutely awful, customer service was awful, wait times for drinks at pool bar was unbearable, wait times for restaurants despite having reservations was awful, ended up eating at sports bar almost every night. Scenery is stunning though. Our butlers were the most positive thing, they were great and tried their best to make our stay better.
Overall a good experience but I would 100% change things if I could go back in time.

Destination weddings was arguably the best experience we had throughout our wedding. We were assigned Andrea Coots who was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was incredibly responsive - at all hours, from the very start or our planning to even after the wedding. We have nothing but the best things to say about her, she truly made every effort to ensure everything went smoothly and even when there was small hiccups, she resolved the issues swiftly and professionally.
Andrea truly was a pleasure to work with and if she is indicative of the rest of the staff at Destination weddings, I would highly highly reccomend using them for your wedding.

Becki’s professionalism, friendly attitude, and attention to detail really made a difference. We felt like we were in great hands, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was organized and confirmed in a timely manner.
Thank you, Becki, for making this part of our wedding planning so easy! We highly recommend Becki and the Destination Weddings team for anyone looking to book rooms and shuttles for their big day.

As a young bride, navigating the wedding planning process felt overwhelming at first, and finding the right support became my top priority. I reached out to numerous agencies and wedding groups specializing in destination weddings, searching for someone who could truly understand our vision and alleviate our worries. After many conversations, I knew I had found the perfect fit with DeAna. From our first interaction, she brought a sense of peace and reassurance that my husband and I desperately needed. Her calm demeanor, expert guidance, and genuine excitement for our special day were unmatched.
DeAna has been by our side every step of the way, taking care of every detail with precision and heart. She has gone above and beyond, offering support in ways I never expected. Whether it was answering our calls after hours, responding promptly during busy hurricane seasons, or offering her expertise when she was under the weather, DeAna's commitment never wavered. Even when she earned a well-deserved trip as a recognition for her exceptional work, she continued to prioritize our needs, showing her unwavering dedication to making our dream wedding a reality.
Her willingness to make sacrifices for her clients is truly inspiring, and it speaks volumes about her passion for what she does. DeAna's work ethic is extraordinary, but what sets her apart even more is her heart. She made us feel like we were her only clients, even though we knew she was juggling many others. Her attention to detail, her warm and personal approach, and her genuine joy in celebrating our journey with us made the entire experience unforgettable.
I am beyond grateful for DeAna's efforts and the countless ways she has supported us throughout this process. She is more than just a wedding planner; she has become a cherished part of our journey, and we feel incredibly blessed to have her on our side. I thank God for bringing DeAna into our lives. Her hard work, compassion, and dedication have truly made all the difference, and we couldn't have asked for a better partner to help us create the wedding of our dreams.

I began my process of narrowing down venues with Alison. She was detailed and patient with all of our questions. Once we selected a location and signed the agreement we began working with Sue Allen. She was great with booking our guests reservations. She was also patient with all their questions regarding rooms and accomodations. I could not have done this without their help.

Amazing experience with DestinationWeddings.com and Melinda Shelley our travel coordinator!
Planning a wedding trip can be stressful, but thanks to our travel coordinator Melinda Shelley, our journey to Cabo San Lucas was smooth and absolutely stress-free! From start to finish, Melinda was attentive, responsive, and incredibly organized. She took care of every detail, making sure we had the perfect arrangements and that everything went off without a hitch.
DestinationWeddings.com was also a fantastic platform—easy to use, with plenty of resources to help us choose our ideal destination. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're planning a destination wedding, I highly recommend both DestinationWeddings.com and Melinda Shelley. They made our dream trip come true!

Our wedding is this week coming up and so far we have worked with Lina Contreras, she is amazing! The process has been super easy and our questions are always answered in a timely manner. She has always replied to us and our guests in a professional way (even when our guests would ask questions that were already answered lol). I highly reccomend!

I absolutely cannot say enough good things about destination weddings as a service, as well as our coordinator, Kimberlee Key, specifically. Not only did Kimberlee help us narrow down the insane amount of resorts to review in Riviera Maya, but she sent us the one we chose and we could not have asked for more. Kimberlee seamlessly organized our hotel block, room booking and roundtrip transportation for 65 guests and everything went off without a hitch. She was in constant communication with us every step of the way for the entire year leading up to our big day. No one had any hiccups in travel arrangements, booking, checking in or anything. I absolutely would not have been able to make this happen without her expertise. If you are planning a destination wedding, I cannot reccomend this service enough. They were invaluable to us and kept so so much unnecesary stress off of me, the bride, during the process. Anyone with questions pertaining to travel was able to easily speak to Kimberlee about it, so as not to put any of the pressure on myself or my now husband.

Amazing vendor to work with! Our travel agent Kimberlee Key made picking a location and booking rooms VERY easy. She was always available to ask questions and helped us with communication between us and the resort if we needed a response sooner rather than later. Wedding planning is supposed to be super stressful but having Kimberlee on our side made things so much easier. The resort we picked was ABSOLUTELY beautiful and our guests agreed with us. Kimberlee made herself available to all of our guests and helped walk them through the travel process too.

We highly recommend DestinationWeddings.com for anyone planning a destination wedding—especially if you’re looking for expert guidance to make everything seamless. Our experience was made even better thanks to Tracy Espina, our travel coordinator, who went above and beyond to bring our wedding vision to life.
From helping us select the beautiful Dreams Jade resort to coordinating each of our guests' accommodations, transfers, and flights in and out of Cancun, Tracy handled it all with skill and care. She was always available to answer questions and address concerns, often hopping on the phone to ensure we felt completely supported. Our guests also appreciated her professionalism and friendliness, making the booking process smooth for everyone.
If you're considering a destination wedding, we can’t recommend Tracy and DestinationWeddings.com highly enough—they turned our dream wedding into a reality!

Monica Castorela is the reason I had the most perfect wedding. When I decided to have a destination wedding, I had no idea what I was doing. After numerous Google searches and inquiries, Monica gave me a call. It was refreshing to hear her honest recommendations about resorts, especially since she had recently stayed at the one I ultimately chose. Not only was she an incredible resource throughout the process, answering all my questions and helping my guests with accommodations, but she also ensured everything went smoothly, leading to the most amazing wedding experience. I cannot thank Monica enough for making my dream wedding come true. Don’t hesitate—if you can, book with Monica Castorela!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Debbie Johnson as my cousin's destination wedding planner, and she was nothing short of amazing! Our journey to my cousin's wedding was filled with uncertainty due to an incoming hurricane, and we were genuinely afraid we wouldn’t make it. Despite the chaos, Debbie remained incredibly understanding and accommodating to our changing needs.
Her responsiveness and empathy throughout the process were remarkable. Debbie not only helped us navigate the situation with ease but also worked closely with the resort and coordinated transportation vouchers, ensuring everything went smoothly. Her calm, professional demeanor made a stressful situation so much more manageable.
We are beyond grateful for Debbie’s support and highly recommend her to anyone planning a destination event! She goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are cared for.

Her patience did not waiver no matter how many times we changed our minds. She even responded to us during a holiday because she knew we were in a time crunch! We feel so lucky to have been paired with her. She has been our favourite person to connect with while planning. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to have a committed, professional, responsive, patient, and kind wedding planner! Thank you again Brandie, we couldn’t have done this with you!!

Destination Weddings and Susie Dod in particular, were amazing in helping us plan our destination wedding in Cancun. We got married last week after months of planning and everything turned out great. We wouldn’t even know where to begin to plan a destination wedding if we hadn’t been in contact with Destination Weddings a couple
Of years of ago through attending a wedding in the Dominican Republic (who also used DestinationWeddings.com and Susie Dod). We were very happy we chose to use them as well.
They provide a ton of insight and options on what to look for in the resort you choose. Including reviews, pricing, guest packages, wedding packages, etc.
Trust me, there is a lot of work that goes into planning a destination wedding in Cancun when you live in Indiana but we did it and DestinationWeddings.com made it so much easier and smoother.
We cannot recommend them enough if you are planning, or even thinking about doing a destination wedding somewhere.

I would recommend DestinationWeddings.com to someone looking to plan a destination wedding. Just understand that it is a travel agent service not a wedding planning service! It was VERY helpful having my wedding destination specialist, Maggie Elle’s, take care of all things travel for my guests. She helped guide me through this process as I had no idea where to start. It was very helpful having her plan and take care of the travel side of things so I could focus on wedding planning. She set up our room block and helped all guests book their stay, and also organized all guests Airport transfer. She was our go-to for all things travel in planning a destination wedding.

We had the pleasure of working with Amy Boyce as our wedding specialist from Destination Weddings, and she was nothing short of amazing! Initially, we faced challenges with the first coordinator we were assigned, who was difficult to reach and slow to respond. After requesting Amy, who coordinated my brother-in-law’s wedding, both of us worked hard to make it happen despite initial resistance from the company. Amy was attentive, incredibly responsive, and always on top of every detail. She truly made the wedding planning process stress-free and handled everything with patience and professionalism. I can't recommend her enough for anyone planning a destination wedding!
