We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Maggie Elles and our experience working with Destination Weddings! We had the pleasure of working with Maggie for nearly two and a... half years leading up to our wedding at Secrets Akumal, and we could not have imagined going through this process without her.
From the very beginning, Maggie was incredibly helpful in bringing our dream destination wedding to life. When we first started planning, we weren't entirely sure where we wanted to get married or which resort would be the best fit for us. Maggie took the time to understand what we were looking for, provided countless resort options, and offered wonderful recommendations. She was actually the one who introduced us to Secrets Resorts, which ultimately led us to choosing Secrets Akumal for our wedding! She even helped us plan a trip to Secrets Akumal over Thanksgiving, nearly a year before our wedding, so we could experience the resort firsthand. It was everything she had described and more, and after that visit, we felt even more confident that we had chosen the perfect place to get married.
Throughout the entire planning process, Maggie was always just an email or phone call away. No matter how many questions we had (and trust us, there were plenty!), she was always patient, responsive, and willing to help. Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming, especially when coordinating travel and accommodations for so many guests, but Maggie made the entire experience so much easier. Having someone we trusted to communicate with the resort, assist our guests, and help navigate all the little details was invaluable. She truly helped take so much of the stress off our shoulders.
One thing we especially appreciated was her willingness to go above and beyond, even with last-minute requests. Shortly before our wedding, we found an opportunity to upgrade our room at a great price online, and Maggie was able to help us secure the upgrade at that same price. It was just one of the many ways she made us feel like we were genuinely being taken care of throughout the process.
Looking back, we feel incredibly fortunate to have found Destination Weddings and, more importantly, to have been paired with Maggie. We absolutely love to travel, and Maggie is already helping us plan our honeymoon! We fully intend to continue working with her for our future vacations.
Our wedding weekend was everything we had hoped for, and we are so grateful for the role Maggie played in helping make it happen. We cannot recommend her enough to anyone considering a destination wedding or simply looking for someone knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely wonderful to work with. Thank you, Maggie, for everything you did for us and our guests over the last two and a half years!
