and support, but instead, I often felt pressured to put down a deposit—more of a sales tactic than a consultative approach. While I understand the business side of things, I was making a significant financial investment and wanted to be absolutely certain before committing. On multiple occasions, when I asked too many questions, it was clear that it was an inconvenience to the person I was working with. I had requested alternative hotel options and availability checks for different dates but never received a response. I was even open to changing my date, but the lack of communication and willingness to assist made me uneasy. It felt like the priority was securing my deposit rather than ensuring I was comfortable with my decision. Additionally, I have text exchanges where her responses were dismissive and even rude—for instance, reacting with “oh my gosh” when I asked follow-up questions. I understand that planning can be stressful on both ends, but customer service should be about patience and guidance, especially for something as significant as a wedding. I normally don’t leave reviews, but this experience left such a bad impression that it made me reconsider having a destination wedding altogether. Fortunately, I found someone else who was responsive, helpful, and made me feel confident in my decision. Again, I appreciate the follow-up, but I think it’s clear that Tiffany, my husband, and I were not the right fit for this process.

everything feel easy and exciting instead of overwhelming. We started working with Maggie in January 2025, so she was with us every step of the way leading up to our February 2026 wedding. She asked all the right questions—budget, vibe, guest count, priorities—and really took the time to understand what we wanted. After that, she sent us several amazing resort options across Puerto Vallarta, Cabo, Cancun, and Riviera Maya that all fit our vision so well. We ended up choosing Hard Rock Riviera Maya, and it was absolutely perfect for us. Our biggest priorities were great food and making sure our guests had reasonably priced rooms, and Maggie nailed both. We had about 70 guests, and she helped coordinate everything—from booking rooms to organizing transportation. She even handled special logistics, like arranging shuttles for our photo/video team coming from Playa del Carmen instead of the airport. One thing that really stood out was how easy she made the process for our guests. Between her clear communication and how smooth the Destination Weddings booking system is, everything felt super straightforward. We heard nothing but positive feedback from our guests about how easy it was to book and how helpful she was whenever they had questions. Maggie was always so responsive and patient, no matter how many questions I had (which was a lot). She’s incredibly knowledgeable and clearly has great relationships with the resorts, which made a huge difference throughout the process. She was also completely transparent when it came to pricing and had no problem walking us through exactly how the financial side of everything worked, which gave us so much peace of mind. The only issue we had the entire trip was when my husband and I arrived and our room got mixed up. We had planned to have that first day to ourselves, but instead we were waiting for hours and then got a room that didn’t feel right for our wedding stay. I reached out to Maggie, and she immediately jumped in and handled everything. She did not stop until it was fully resolved—and because of her, the resort upgraded us to the presidential suite for the entire week. Honestly, that ended up making our wedding week even more special than we imagined. She also surprised us with the sweetest gift basket filled with treats, tequila, and pool goodies, which was such a thoughtful touch. I truly can’t say enough good things about Maggie. She made the whole experience feel smooth, fun, and stress-free, and she went above and beyond every step of the way. I don’t plan on getting married again, but I genuinely wish I had another reason to work with her! If you’re planning a destination wedding, I would recommend Maggie to anyone without hesitation.

ll our questions- twice! 

ne, or text, and she made everything feel so easy and organized. Planning something like this can be stressful, but she truly took so much of that weight off my shoulders. If it wasn’t for her, it would have been so much harder to pull everything together. Of course, like anyone, there were a couple of small things that were missed along the way, but what really stood out was how she handled them. She addressed everything immediately, took accountability, and always apologized. That level of care and professionalism made such a difference. Beyond that, she is just genuinely kind and such a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely recommend Brandie to anyone looking for someone reliable, responsive, and truly dedicated.

lanet Hollywood Cancun between April 8-10. I spoke with the agent (Sandy) several times to make sure their rooms were good to go. EVERY yes EVERY person that arrived, rooms were all messed up. The reservation said adult side but they were placed on the family side. Some reservations even messed up the beds in the room. My 2 sisters had to share a King bed even though they asked for 2 double beds. My other sister and her husband got double beds and they asked for a King. It was a complete and utter mess for everyone checking in. We call the agent from Destinations weddings (Sandy) and her only excuse was "I wont be using that hotel again." My wedding started out a nightmare with all the room situations. I am still in disbelief at how horrible our booking was. Keep in mind I had a room block. Mu guest were so far away from each other it was crazy. I was in building 11 and my mom was in 31, sisters 35 and 15, cousin 22, aunt 17!!! It was just silly. I know they got a huge commission from my wedding. I haven't even gotten a phone call apologizing or all the mishaps. On and another thing they tell you, you will get a discount for booking so many rooms. Please don't expect that to happen. You get NOTHING!!! This is trash company. Very poor. If your wedding day is important to you, chose someone else.

our vision and ran with it. She gave us countless, wonderful recommendations and she was honest about each resort and location. We truly trusted Maggie and valued her honesty and time. She never left a question unanswered and handled everything with such care and guidance, not only for us but also for our guests. Thank you Maggie for helping us with the most amazing day of our lives!

urging and staying there.  We absolutely loved the attention to detail, the decor, the drinks and the service! Everything was great at the Secrets side as well, but especially on the Impressions side. We could really feel the elevated service and detail there. OMG and the FOOD! WOW! We would have never guessed that it was an all inclusive resort with the quality of food all over both resorts. The resort was everything we had imagined and more to say the least. 11/10!  Melinda from Destination Weddings is truly incredible!! She’s helped make our dreams come true! We will 100% be back! In fact, Patrick and I already in the talks of going back in December for my birthday! We will be in touch on that! This is 100% happening so expect to hear from us on that

eciate the way she prioritized our needs in a way we felt heard and understood. Whenever there was a lag in response from the resort or any type of scheduling issue, Melinda always handled it for us with grace. We could not have asked for a better person to work with.

make the whole process smooth. We feel so lucky that we decided to work with her and truly couldn’t imagine planning the wedding weekend without her!! Thank you!!

l of the rest were just so blur. Sandy helped narrowing down the resorts from my needs and I have not done it in any other way! The process was very easy and it saved me a lot of my mental energy. lol. I highly recommend working with DestinationWedding.com if you are planning destination wedding and lost as I was. Thank you again Sandy for helping me through the whole process!

g coordinator Melinda who was incredible to work with. The level of expertise, organization, and advocacy she provided felt like something we should have been paying a premium for. She helped us find the perfect resort and guided us through the entire contract process, making sure every detail was clear and aligned with what we envisioned. Having someone who understands the fine print and knows how these agreements work gave us tremendous peace of mind. Because of the resort we selected and our guest count, we received a good chunk of money back, which was an incredible and unexpected bonus. She also managed our room block and coordinated transportation logistics for our guests from the airport to the hotel. That alone removed so much stress. Instead of juggling endless questions and details, we could confidently direct everyone to her. Everything felt organized, seamless, and thoughtfully handled. But beyond the logistics, what truly sets Melinda apart is who she is as a person. She is incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely invested. Over time, she became more than our coordinator. She became someone I trusted. She allowed me to vent, process, and just be a bride during moments that felt overwhelming. She listened without judgment and always responded with calm reassurance. She saw our contract and planning journey through from beginning to end, and we always felt supported every step of the way. If you are planning a destination wedding, especially in Cabo, Melinda is exactly who you want on your team. She brings clarity, calm, and genuine care to an experience that can otherwise feel overwhelming. We are so grateful for her and cannot recommend her and this company highly enough.

orked with other travel agents and this has been the best experience I have had. Jennifer shared relative & key information & venue options with my couple, which played a pivotal role in them making their best selection. I appreciated her extensive knowledge & experience, that allowed her to speak to the couple's cares, concerns and top location options. Thank you, Jennifer, for providing thorough & quality care to my couple, as they were making such important decisions for themselves and their guests. I look forward to utilizing your skills with future clients!

vision, priorities, and guest needs. Our wedding took place at Hotel Xcaret Mexico in January of 2026, and Valerie helped us confidently choose this resort after thoughtfully considering everything we were looking for. We had a very large group, which can be overwhelming to manage, but Valerie handled everything with professionalism, patience, and ease. She was so supportive not only to us, but to every single one of our guests throughout the process. Communication was the most important factor for us when choosing a travel agent, and Valerie exceeded our expectations in every way. She was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and informative throughout the entire 14 months we worked together. No question ever felt too small, and she consistently made us feel confident and supported during the planning process. Destination Weddings is a large company, so having the right specialist truly matters, and we were so lucky to be paired with Valerie. We are beyond grateful for her and would recommend her without hesitation to any couple planning a destination wedding.

s feel easy, organized, and stress-free. Planning a destination wedding in Cancun with over 100+ family members is not a small task, but she handled it flawlessly. She was incredibly responsive, patient, and detail-oriented, making sure every single guest was taken care of — from room bookings to transportation — so no one felt lost or unsure at any point. Knowing that our families and friends were all good to go allowed us to actually enjoy the experience and focus on celebrating. Everything came together better than we could have imagined, and that’s entirely thanks to their dedication and professionalism.

Brittany you saved me and I appreciate all of your help and kindness!

January 5–10, 2026, and we truly cannot say enough about his knowledge, professionalism, and expertise—not only with the destination we chose, but also with the other locations we considered along the way. Tarin went above and beyond in every possible way. He provided exceptional support not only to us as a couple, but also to our guests, ensuring that everyone felt informed, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the entire process. He was always approachable, readily available to answer our many questions, and incredibly patient in helping us understand details we were unsure about. What truly stood out was Tarin’s genuine compassion and care for our special day. His dedication and hard work made all the difference, and because of him, Mike and I were able to have the wedding of our dreams. We will forever be grateful for everything he did to make our experience so seamless and unforgettable. With much gratitude, Jess and Mike

genuinely cares about making her couples' wedding dreams come true. We faced a lot of unexpected challenges with our hotel, including language barriers and the hotel being sold during the same month as our wedding. It was stressful, to say the least--but Melinda went above and beyond every step of the way. She got directly involved, helped resolve hotel issues, and made sure our wedding still happened as planned. She was always available, took all of our calls, answered every email, and patiently walked us through every question and concern. Her dedication, professionalism, and compassion made an incredibly difficult situation manageable and ultimately successful. Melinda is truly an amazing person, and we are so grateful for everything she did for us. We highly recommend DestinationWeddings.com--especially Melinda Shelley--to anyone planning a destination wedding.

the way and making the experience feel seamless and stress-free. Our wedding at Azul Beach Resort Negril included nearly 100 guests and came with some added uncertainty after Hurricane Melissa the month before, but Brandie was steady and reassuring throughout, helping us navigate any concerns with as much confidence as possible. In the end, everything came together beautifully, and our trip and wedding exceeded all expectations. We are so grateful for her support and would highly recommend Brandie to any couple considering a destination wedding or future travel plans. Sincerely, Abi and Chad
