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! Highly recommend her services if you need help planning a destination wedding and have no idea where to start.

We couldn't be happier with the exceptional service we've received from Kellie Davis on **Destination Weddings and Dreams Las Marea’s Resort in Costa Rica. Kellie Davis has not only made our dreams come true, but she worked with our families and our guest’s day and night to make sure all of their travel is safe and making sure they had the most amazing experience. She was so kind and patient and helped us through every step of the way and Kellie was incredibly responsive, helpful, and answered every question we had. The best experience we had throughout our 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.

DestinationWeddings was INCREDIBLE! Danielle Johnson helped us plan the PERFECT wedding. She helped us with every single detail. I have never been to a destination wedding before and have little experience with all inclusive resorts, but she helped us pick the perfect resort for our wedding needs and brought my dream wedding vision to life. She was so patient and professional with all of my 800+ questions and helped with booking all 105 of our guests and was very accommodating. She even helped get all of my guests to and from the airport to the resort.

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.

From the moment we started planning to the very last dance, they made our wedding day an unforgettable, seamless experience. Stefani was incredibly responsive and attentive. No question was too small, and she always made us feel heard and supported. Every email, text, and meeting was handled with professionalism. From organizing timelines to managing flight details, Stefani ensured everything was perfectly aligned. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day because we knew we were in the best hands.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 the lovely Melissa Marienau on our journey of planning our destination wedding next summer! I could not have imagined going through this process without her expertise and thoughtful recommendations. She made choosing our venue an enjoyable experience and took the stress out of securing it! I cannot thank her enough for all that she put into our wedding planning & for making the transition to the next specialist seamless!
Thank you Melissa!

We were able to work with Sandy Patrzykont and she was SUPER great. She was very responsive and was very personable to us (the couple) and all of our guests. We had 74 guests who had rooms and Sandy handled all amazingly. We were a little worried about having a destination wedding but coming back from our honeymoon and reflecting on everything, my wife and I said we would recommend a destination wedding to anyone!
Thank you Destination Weddings and Sandy for allowing us to have the best day of our lives.

My wedding was 9/1/24 in Cancun's Moon Palace. Our coordinator was Stephanie Parks and she was beyond amazing! Fast and courteous with responding to call texts and emails for me and my party! The communication with her was flawless. She kept me updated with all communication with the resort. She even sent me pics of the resort when she went for a conference at Moon Palace. I would choose her all over again!!

I have been working with Andrea for years. Not for a wedding which she specializes in. But, for personal vacations. Birthdays and just because. She is always so helpful and attentive. All my vacations have been nothing but amazing. I have not had one issue with any of her recommendations. She defiantly is a one stop shop when it comes to planning from start to finish of your holiday. I cannot thank her enough for all the amazing memories my friends and I have created.

Trying to find a resort that fit our exact needs was super difficult but Melissa made everything super easy! I asked what felt like a million questions and she was always quick to respond and if she didn't have the answer, would go out of her way to find it. I was hesitant at first to work with Destination Weddings since it is free, but Melissa exceeded my expectations.

Terrible communication! You would think a planning company would know how to communicate. The people assigned to you go on vacation for weeks at a time and never leave you with anyone else to contact while they are on vacation. That’s how business works. You leave people to cover for you! We are still trying to have a wedding but guests can’t get a response from people. I’ve tried contacting people higher up but still nothing!

Denise was the epitome of detailed organization, proactive communication, and calming energy during the yearlong planning of our destination wedding. She is such an expert in the space that all of the travel logistics became one less thing we had to worry about.
We had over 160 guests traveling from all over the world who Denise communicated with one by one and ensured that their travel itineraries were correct and seamless. We did not have one single issue, and Denise worked with us as flights were canceled, people missed connections and things happened in the moment that we could not prepare for.
Denise always went the extra mile for us - since we were not able to afford a wedding planner, we had to do almost everything ourselves, and Denise stepped in and used the plethora of connections she has made over such a long career in the business to make sure that our hotel and vendors were all meeting our needs. She jumped on phone calls, was CC'ed on every email and made sure that all of our asks were met and that we felt comfortable and confident going into our big weekend. We can’t thank her enough for making something that was very time-consuming and stressful a very enjoyable experience. All of our guests were so happy with the weekend and so much of that is thanks to Denise.
I would recommend Denise to anyone looking to plan a destination wedding, especially on the East Coast of Mexico since she knows the area so well. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU DENISE!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Amy Boyce with Destination Weddings for our wedding at Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa on August 16, 2024. Amy is beyond amazing! She was so helpful, and we couldn’t have planned our wedding without her. She helped us plan our wedding on an expedited timeline and was always great at communicating and keeping us up to date on all the details. She was available for every question we had throughout the entire process (and we had a lot!), from providing us with detailed reviews of each resort, to helping us negotiate the best wedding package and rates for our guests, etc. Our guests raved about her and how truly wonderful she was! She ensured each guest was taken care of and helped us navigate quite a few hurdles we encountered with ease. I would 110% recommend Amy and Destination Weddings!!! They’re truly the best and helped us have our perfect dream wedding!

We had the pleasure of working with Kimberly Koehn over the past year to plan our destination wedding this past weekend in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico! Kimberly was so friendly and professional to work with. She was always very prompt when returning questions/emails and would check in with us regularly inquiring if we needed any help. She did a fantastic job reaching out to all our guests and scheduling their transfers from the airport and assisting in booking rooms. She was a huge help in the very beginning too as we tried to find out venue, we are very blessed and grateful to have worked with Kimberly to make planning our wedding more smoothly!

We just got married in May 2024 in Costa Rica at the Dreams Las Mareas Resort and Melissa Salgado Shah from destination weddings has been a god send to my wife and I since the beginning of our planning (3 years ago)! What a gem, she was in constant communication with us, always made us feel like we were never a bother, attended to our guests and to the resort when we had questions. So professional and polite, i just can't thank her enough for helping in making our dream wedding come true. I don't have any negative comments on DestinationWeddings.com free service! In fact, every destination wedding needs people like their staff to help with organizing all the details. I highly recommend Melissa and DesignationWeddings.com. They are the absolute best!!

I had a Destinations wedding in Montego Bay, Jamaica on July 7, 2024. I was supposed to arrive in Jamaica on July 3, 2024, but the hurricane had other plans. Maggie Elles was very reassuring that everything would workout and it did. Maggie stayed in contact throughout the change in my travel plans. In conclusion, everything did work out and I was able to have the wedding and reception of my dreams.

DestinationWeddings is a great free service that helped me plan the perfect destination wedding. I had a few hiccups in the beginning with miscommunication but it was quickly remedied. We were assigned Wunmi as our travel specialist and she was absolutely amazing. She worked with us to ensure we made all the deadlines. Her and her assistant Michaelle were very helpful in explaining our contracts and assisted with helping our guests book their stay,even when they missed the deadline. If you need help with olanningt or on the fence about what company to go with don't hesitate to use DestinationWeddings.
