Sherissa and her team were incredible to work with! They went above and beyond helping our guests book their travel and they stayed on top of everything and provided us with frequent updates. I didn’t have to stress about any of the travel aspects for our destination wedding, which I am so grateful for. Would highly recommend them!
We had a great experience using MDW for our Cancun Wedding. We had a large group of over 100 guests. While I handled all the wedding details it was refreshing to know they were handling everything for my guests travels. We talked to different travel agencies before committing to MDW and ultimately their customer service made us feel at ease. It was a plus that travel to and from was included in our package. I was able to get some good comps as well. I definitely would recommend them to anyone doing a destination wedding.
The team was so communicative and made our booking process seamless. It was great that they took care of the room block and coordinated directly with our guests for payment and even arranged shuttle service for us. I would 100% recommend them!!
Choosing Modern Destinations for our wedding was the easiest and best choice we could have made! Our friends used them for their wedding and we knew immediately that we wanted to use them as well as they were friendly, reliable, and extremely communicative (all things you want when planning a destination wedding).
The initial consultation included a detailed questionnaire that helped us get to know the wedding team and the resorts they partnered closely with. This is a HUGE plus because they have been to so many resorts and are able to help you narrow down which one meets your needs and vision the best.
Sherissa and Itzel were our wedding planners and Sheba was our primary travel agent along with Austin and Anna. They were all absolutely amazing!!!
We had 75 guests for our destination wedding flying in from all over the United States. Sheba and her team coordinated all of the travel and itineraries for our family and friends. They all had amazing experiences and appreciated the intimate communication to book the reservations. They also coordinated all of the travel with Amstar and made it extremely easy to get to and from the airport/resort.
Now onto Sherissa. She’s absolutely amazing, so organized, and reviewed plans and contracts to make sure everything was in order. She partnered with Secrets Akumal previously and our wedding planner at the resort which made communication so much easier. It’s also a plus that she’s been to the resort and gave me a lot of heads up on what to expect. I was extremely nervous planning a wedding at a resort outside of the US and she made it an incredible experience and eased my fears. She was someone to vent to, plan the big day with, and also was the primary communication between myself and the resort. She also reached out to the wedding coordinator at the resort directly to get answers to our questions. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
Our wedding was everything we’ve ever dreamed of (AND MORE) and we owe that to the planning and coordination of Modern Destinations. Everything was perfectly planned and coordinated. Communication was amazing. Incredible staff (literally the entire team!!!) There is not one thing we would change.
If you’re contemplating a destination wedding and/or do not know where to start, Modern Destinations is the team you need to plan your perfect day. We are excited to continue to use them for travel in the future!!
The team was professional, responsive, and helped us pick an amazing destination and resort. My friends and family all commented that they felt well taken care of my the team when it came to booking the hotel and travel.
We had a very pleasant experience working with Modern Travelworks. Our wedding specialist, Sherissa, made every step of the process easy and straightforward. We thought that having a destination wedding would be a draining ordeal but Sherissa and team did a fantastic job guiding us until the end. Not only that, Mike and his sales team handled our resort requests promptly and resolved all of our guests’ transportation concerns. We highly recommend hiring their services if you want a memorable wedding planning experience!
When we first started planning our wedding, the idea of a destination wedding felt both exciting and overwhelming. I didn’t know where to begin—researching resorts, communicating our vision, and helping everyone book their travel seemed like a mountain of tasks. I wanted our wedding planning process to be as stress-free as possible so I could truly enjoy the day with the people we love. That’s when I was pointed toward Modern Destination Weddings, and they turned out to be nothing short of a miracle!
Working with Sherissa, Itzel, and Sheba was an absolute dream! From the moment we connected, they made everything so easy. Sherissa guided us through the process of selecting the perfect resort. After we went over our vision and budget she sent over so many good options and really helped me feel good about our choice by sharing additional pictures, reviews and even videos. She truly went above and beyond to ensure the resort matched the vision I had for our special day and the entire experience turned out to be even more than I could have imagined!
They didn’t just make the big decisions easier—they also handled all the little details that I was dreading. Thanks to them, I didn’t have to field endless questions from family members about international travel or logistics. They were always patient, kind, and supportive, even helping with my smaller worries that they certainly didn’t have to. Their expertise and care made me feel like we were their top priority every step of the way!
When our wedding day in Cabo finally arrived, it was everything I had dreamed of and more. I felt completely present, surrounded by the people I love, in a place that now holds so much meaning for us. I can’t thank Modern Destination Weddings—and especially Sherissa, Itzel, and Sheba—enough for making it all possible.
I now tell everyone that a destination wedding is the way to go, and if you want the process to feel seamless and stress-free, you have to work with Modern Destination Weddings. They will make your dream wedding a reality!
Sherissa was the best of the best. We had a very smooth process. What could have been difficult and time consuming she made simple. I started by reaching out to venues on my own. Not a fun experience. One meeting with Sherissa and we had are venue and to do’s and where on our way. She stayed involved and jumped in with any “hick-ups” from any vendor. She was an amazing resource for us. I found her through my company’s benefit program. So grateful.
Modern Destination Weddings was responsive and helpful from beginning to end. They helped us decide on a resort venue based on our wants and and requirements, and helped us coordinate room bookings, flights and transportation for each of our guests. Communication with the resort was difficult, but Sherissa was persistent in reaching out to make sure things ran as smoothly as possible. She was easy to teach by text or phone and we had regular Zoom calls to make sure everything stayed on schedule. I’m really glad we hired this group to help us plan our wedding.
We had a great experience working with modern destination weddings. They were always very responsive and easy to work with. They had a very organized plan of every step we needed to take. We only had a short period of time to plan this wedding and they made it happen seamlessly. Sherissa and Itzel were so helpful and patient throughout the entire process. We absolutely loved working with them. They gave us all the details to the hotel including things we wouldn’t even think to ask. We wouldn’t have been able to plan this wedding without them. If you are looking to plan a destination wedding, reach out to modern destination weddings for an easy process!
Very easy to work with and they delivered in every aspect.
Fereshta has been such a pivotal part of bringing our destination wedding dreams to life! She does so much behind the scenes to ensure every detail is covered and brings so much warmth and kindness to everything she does. I don't know how we could have done any of this without her!
-Alyssa and Romney
Modern Destination Weddings has become my *essential* while planning my destination wedding! I couldn't imagine choosing/booking my resort for my wedding without help and advice from Fereshta, a senior wedding specialist within the company. Fereshta has been my go-to during this time- she contracted the room block, responds to emails within hours, and is CC'd on all my emails to resort vendors to make sure things are going smoothly and getting done! She does all this with the most bright, sparkling personality that makes you *know* she wants the BEST for you and your special day! After each conversation with her, I am always so happy, calm, and excited for our tropical wedding!
Also, after you choose your resort, and get your block they go the extra mile of providing you a travel website! This is where all your wedding guests will go and request a quote. Guests will then work with the Modern Destination travel team to book rooms/excursions during the wedding stay! My travel advisor, Sheba, was ON IT when it came to explaining the process, and getting everything set up on the website for my guests, I have to commend them on this site because it is clean, clear, personable, and cute compared to other destination wedding booking sites I've seen. My guests have started to request quotes as well, and they said the response time is quick and the responses are professional, kind, and helpful!
Okay, my last shout out goes to Anna, who helped us book our honeymoon resort! She was great at giving diverse options, and also gave us some personal insight and advice when we were stuck between two. I love when you can read someone's email and see their personality, and I could see Anna's caring, connecting personality from her emails.
As a bride, you want a team that makes you feel confident, happy, secure, and cared for- this was MY team at Modern Destinations with Fereshta, Sheba, and Anna. All my phone calls were refreshing, joyful, and just filled with laughs. I always thought planning a destination wedding would be stress, stress, stress- but with Modern Destination it has been a JOYFUL and FUN experience! They have your back on everything, and I am so so grateful for all their help, positivity, and hard work. If anyone around me were to have a destination wedding in the future, I would be giving them Modern Destinations number immediately!
Modern Destination Weddings was an absolute joy to work with. They responded very quick to emails, would jump on calls and would help us communicate with the resort. I worked with Sherissa and she was amazing ! She was so patient with all my last minute changes and emails and was great at communicating and organizing all our guests travel and questions. Overall would 100% recommend !
We had an incredible experience with modern destinations for our wedding in Cancun Mexico. Helping us lock in room rates, handle guest communications (for over 80 guests), provide insight into the resort and area, and much much more. We could not have done it without Sherissa and Krystal. Our guests were happy with the pricing, the process, and it truly made an impact on our special day. I was able to call them anytime and ask the most random question or ask them to help a particular guest with something and they were always there and willing to help. I never had to worry and that was the biggest benefit of having them on our team and during such a stressful planning process. You juggle all these different things, but knowing our guests were taken care of this front was so necessary. I can’t stress enough how great they were.
Without Modern Destination Weddings team, wedding planning would've been super stressful. From initial contact, to choosing a wedding venue, connecting us to the vendors, and organizing flights and stay for our guests, they were with us through every single step and more. Special thanks to Sherissa Tuttle. Simply put, she is amazing and we have recommended her to couple of our friends who are thinking of planning a destination wedding in the future. She is the queen of wedding planning. Her communication was great, which we appreciated so much esp because of the time difference. Her years of experience and expertise made us feel comfortable with the whole process. We loved loved working with her and her team and can't thank them enough for bringing our dream wedding to life.
My destination wedding experience was excellent while working with Modern Destination Weddings. The whole team from start to finish answered any questions me and my guest had. They made booking with the resort very easy and seamless. They also helped with airport transfer and that was one less thing me and my guest had to do. If you are planning a destination wedding do not hesitate to contact them to help. It will be one of the best decisions you make.
Choosing Modern Destination Weddings for our wedding in the Dominican Republic was the best decision we made. After witnessing my sister-in-law's exceptional experience with them, our expectations were high, and they surpassed them in every way possible.
From the moment we engaged with Sherissa, our designated wedding planner, we knew we were in capable hands. Sherissa's patience and attention to detail were remarkable. No question was too trivial, no concern too small for her to address promptly and with care. Her professionalism and warmth made the entire planning process a breeze.
One of the biggest challenges of a destination wedding is coordinating with the venue, especially when it's located in another country. Sherissa seamlessly managed all communication between us and the resort's planner, ensuring that every aspect of our vision was understood and executed flawlessly.
Modern Destination Weddings truly lives up to its name. They blend traditional wedding elements with a modern approach to planning, making the entire process not only stress-free but also enjoyable. Their expertise in destination weddings shines through, evident in every suggestion and recommendation they provided.
Our wedding day in the Dominican Republic was a dream come true, and we have Modern Destination Weddings, particularly Sherissa, to thank for it. If you're considering a destination wedding and want a planner who will turn your vision into reality with ease and grace, look no further than Modern Destination Weddings. They are the epitome of professionalism, creativity, and personalized service, ensuring your special day is nothing short of perfection.
Excellent value for the services received. They are willing to hold your hand throughout the entire process. I am so glad we had Kendyll as a planner. She was so sweet and very communicative. Our wedding turned out beautiful because of her involvement.
Modern Destination did a great job helping us choose a resort for our wedding and setting up our room block. They were very responsive and easy to get in touch with.
We could not have planned our wedding without the help of Modern Destination Weddings. They made the process from day 1 so easy and stress free. They were so accommodating with all of our guests from beginning to end. Even down to check-in, they were available for us. I cannot recommend Krystal and Sherissa enough!
Modern Destinations was great to work with! They took the time to have phone meetings, answer emails & always give as much information they could. They were very patient in the beginning process when trying to find what destination I wanted to pick & provided detailed information about each hotel, communicated directly with hotel, & relayed any information back to me! I couldn’t have done it without them. Then when it was time for guests to book, I got great feedback from guests how easy the process was. Everything went very smoothly for our trip & wedding for all guests because of Modern Destinations. Highly recommend!
Working with Modern Destination Weddings was absolutely wonderful. Sherissa and Itzel were two incredible assets to have for planning a destination wedding. They helped provide us with a number of locations that featured all of our wants, budget, and timeframe and ultimately ended up finding us our dream location. The team made planning a destination wedding as simple and stress free as possible. We could not be happier with how our wedding turned out! I would recommend Sherissa, Itzel, and the team at Modern Destination Weddings to anyone looking to have a destination wedding.
We chose Modern Destination Weddings to assist with finding our resort, room block arrangement, and help pour guests book their accommodations with the resort for our destination wedding. Itzel and Fereshta helped make my wedding planning so easy and stress free. They were very knowledgeable and professional. The rest of the Modern Travelworks team was amazing and patient with assisting our guests with their bookings. We were very impressed with their service and would most definitely recommend them for guest accommodations for any wedding or event.
We used Modern destinations for our wedding on 3/25/23. My husband and I heard about the company from a very close friend who attended another couples destination wedding who used them. Itzel and Fereshta were very sweet and helpful with helping us choose a resort. They gave us a lot of info and we’re patient with us when we basically wanted to just talk through all of our thoughts on the phone. They also helped set us up with a site visit for the one we chose at a discounted rate which was great. Set us up with transportation as well. This was helpful to be able to get a feel for the resort and where we would like our room to be for the wedding, also menu tastings and have a vision for the actual area in which we would chose to have the wedding events. Fereshta was very sweet and calmed me down when I would be overwhelmed and assured me I was doing fine which was helpful. Once booking came into play they have their own travel team which does the booking and travel side with guests. Krystal was absolutely amazing and attentive. We definitely called her way too much but she was always there for us throughout the process. So thank you Krystal for putting up with us. We ended up having about 80 people attend our wedding. Only 2 couples who decided to stay off resort. The rest booked with us at El dorado royale/ generations. Krystal even went out of her way to make sure we got rooms at generations (the kid friendly resort) when they originally were fully booked for our dates. Not sure how she pulled that off but we are grateful. The only negative feedback from our guests were some mentioning they were getting some slow delays with hearing back from a couple of the travel agents about questions. But at the end of the day the team was a great help to us as the couple with doing all of the work for us. Texting and calling out friends and family and giving them updates for deadlines and such. We barely had to do anything. The only other issue we had is we chose to use their free site for email invites and something was wrong with the gmail where people did not receive the invites. I ended up texting the website to most of the guests but everything worked out. All my guests as well as us had a positive experience with the wedding and the transportation to and from airport and that was the most important.
This company truly made the process of planning a destination wedding low stress and seamless. You get a team of knowledgeable people who are there to answer any questions along the way. I would not have been able to plan my wedding without them.
Kendyll was my go to throughout the entire planning process. She was able to ease my mind whenever I reached out to her. She assisted me with choosing excursions, communicating information to guests and much, much more. Whenever we spoke, I felt like I was talking to a friend.
All of my guests were happy with their experiences with MDW as well--they even assisted with hotel transfers etc. It was truly a great experience and I have already recommended them to people I am close to.
10 out of 10 for sure ❤
Modern Vacations and Destination Weddings was great up until the beginning. They helped up find the perfect resort for our wedding, laid out different concession options and provided recommendations for vendors. They were super helpful in getting about 80 of our guests booked at the Hard Rock Riviera Maya and scheduling their transportation. Only one guest was unable to contact support from the hotel to the airport. The guest ended up booking their own taxi despite already paying for their transportation. Modern Vacations were also helpful defining terms in the contract. My only feedback is the response rates from the team. Sometimes we wouldn't hear back for days or weeks. We also wished they confirmed transportation with our guest earlier. Most of my guests didn't get a confirmation until the week of the wedding! I was also hoping for more support when working with my onsite coordinator. Overall, they were a great travel agency to work with!
My wife and I selected Modern Destination Weddings to help us plan the destination wedding we had always dreamed about. Everyone was very helpful throughout the process, and it really took all of the stress off of the bride & groom since we knew we were in good hands!
Fereshta was incredible! Extremely responsive, friendly, caring and competent. She genuinely was focused on ensuring Bryan and I had the wedding of our dreams. She asked us meaningful questions to help really personalize our wedding so that it fit all of our unique needs. She went above and beyond with coordinating the other wedding parties involved and helped keep our minds completely at ease. I know I would have been a nervous wreck if I tried planning this all on my own, without her. She took all the stress away. And I can’t even describe how thrilled I am with how our wedding turned out. It was beyond what I had ever dreamed and was also extremely affordable. Almost all of my guests told me this was the best wedding they had ever been to.
Kendyll and Itzel from Modern Destination Weddings were amazing at helping my husband and I find the right resort for our destination wedding. They walked us through every part of the process which helped make the process way less overwhelming. Kendyll will fight for you from start to finish to make sure you're getting the best service possible, is so fast at responding, so professional and kind, and is a wonderful and helpful guide for such a complicated process. I couldn't recommend her more.
MDW was so helpful with our destination wedding. From the very beginning, they listened to what we wanted and gave us a list of resorts that they thought would fit our vision and budget. They helped set up meetings, helped set up our room block and they helped all of our guests book their rooms. It was so nice having someone do this instead of having to do it on our own. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend! They were so helpful throughout the whole process from finding a venue, discussing budget, keeping the communication going with our resort wedding planner, answering any questions we had, booking all of our guests and our travel AND even helping us on the day of the wedding and when our flight was delayed and our luggage lost. The fee we paid was well worth it.
Thank you ModernTeam.
So glad we hired MDW for our wedding! My sister in law recommended them, and they made the booking process so much easier, saving me the time and headache that comes with helping wedding guests book their trips. The group discount that guests received was also amazing. The initial fee is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that comes with working with this travel agency!
Kendyll, Sam, Anna, Itzel and the rest of the Modern Vacations team made every single aspect of our wedding planning easier! If you are planning a destination wedding, working with them will be the BEST decision you make!
My wedding planning would've been 10000x more stressful if it wasn't for Modern Destination Weddings. I don't think we would've had the amount of guests we did if it weren't for the service, accomodations and flexibility from them. My guests raved about how easy the booking and payment process was, one of them even plans to use them for our friends group vacation next year!
We worked with Modern Destination Weddings to plan our wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We did not know where to start when we decided to have a destination wedding, but they made the planning process easy by helping us pick a venue, setting up our wedding website, and making it easy for our guests to book with Modern Travel. Our Modern Destination Team even helped when our wedding planner at the resort was not being very responsive and they stepped in to help coordinate communication. I would absolutely recommend Modern Destination to anyone who is having a destination wedding. Our guests also commented on how simple it was to book their trip through Modern Travel. Our wedding far exceeded our expectations and we are forever grateful for our Modern Team! Thank you!
The Modern Destinations team was readily available whenever I needed them and made booking my guests a breeze! We will definitely be using their services in the future to help us plan future trips.
Flexible with your schedule! This company is a travel agent and wedding planner in one! What more could you ask for? They are super organzied and very thorough with details of the wedding venues. I highly recommend them for a destination wedding.
Fereshta and her team have been so positive, helpful, patient and clear. Their positivity and excitement make wedding planning the fun adventure it should be, and they happily answer all of your questions! You never feel like you’re bothering anyone. I know this can be a stressful time with all the planning, but the team at Modern Weddings brings genuine excitement to the process.

Chris from Modern made it a stress free vacation! He suggested a gorgeous property. He secured all details of the vacation. It was a chill trip and thoroughly enjoyed!
Chris did great handling all the details of our trip.
We could not have planned this wedding without Modern. They made planning our wedding and trip a totally stress free experience. From day one Kendyll and Itzel were enthusiastic and extremely helpful! Even if you don't know where you want your wedding yet, they will do all the hard work for you and send you options. They are amazing!
The travel team takes care of every aspect of of travel for your guests; resort stay, flights, and transportation to and from the resort. Your guests have a person they can always reach out to that will answer all their questions and concerns so you don't have to. Krystal kept us updated frequently and was always there when we needed her.
If you are planning a destination wedding in Mexico or the Caribbean, I 1000% recommended using Modern!
My fiancé and I are planning are our dream wedding and working with Modern Vacations and Destination wedding has been amazing. They communicate FAST and efficiently, making this process super easy thus far. The entire team truly cares about your vision and goes above and beyond to make it happen. We excited to continue working with them!
If I'm being totally honest, there were times when using Modern Vacations and Destination Weddings I wondered if it was totally necessary to use their services. Helpful? Yes, necessary? I was unsure. However, after watching two friends plan destination weddings this past year I realized how lucky I was to find them! All the stresses my friends had to deal with on their own I did not have to! Blindly scouting hotels, arranging shuttles for their family members, calling and emailing hotels to find wedding dates and availability, among about 20 other vacation related tasks were things I did not have to worry about! I worked with Fereshta and Sheba and they were so nice and professional. I started planning prior to covid and had no idea how challenging things would become! They kept me calm when I was having a full blown meltdown, meanwhile they are probably dealing with 20 other brides just as stressed as me! I felt like everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. I had to reschedule my wedding which they made so easy on me and my guests. Then a few months after rescheduling the hotel sold out of rooms. They worked diligently to check everyday to see if new availability had opened up. If I planned this on my own there is no way I would have been able to secure rooms on my own! I felt as if I was their priority. All of my guests were also so happy with the service they provided. Bottom line, planning any wedding is hard but planning a destination wedding is really hard. You have to babysit all your guests and remind them to do so many things, book your room! Get your passport! Pick your flight! Arrange a shuttle! It was nice to know the team did the reminding for me so I could focus on the important wedding stuff.
I am so thankful that I found Modern Vacations & Destination Weddings. From the very first consultation call, I knew they were going to be a great fit. As a person who travels quite frequently and who has always wanted to have a destination wedding, I thought planning one on my own would be simple. Once I started looking, I realized that was not the case. Itzel and Fereshta at Modern Vacations helped me sort through all the details. They took the time to listen to all of my must haves for the wedding and devised a detailed list of potential venues that would fit my needs. They are friendly, responsive and overall they made me feel like they were on "Team Ashley" when helping me make big decisions. No question was ever a silly one and they had many wonderful recommendations when I wasn't entirely sure what direction I wanted to go in. Their expertise in the travel space made me feel very comfortable when choosing a resort. They have traveled to many, if not all, of the resorts they suggest. They have also built relationships with all of the resort wedding coordinators which helps to get answers quickly. I was glad and beyond thankful to have them by my side while planning my dream wedding.
Destination Wedding Brides- I highly recommend working with a third party wedding planner who specializes in destination weddings. There is so much information out there and Modern Destination Weddings helped me focus and broke down all the information for us. They answered all our guests questions and booked their travel. They took so much stress off of us. We are so grateful for Fereshta, Krystal, and the whole team!
Most brides talk about how stressful planning a wedding is and for the most part I can happily say, can't relate. And that's largely in part to the best in class team at Modern Destination Weddings!
From the first line of communication, Itzel was phenomenal. I had submitted info request forms for many similar companies online and Itzel, with Modern Travel was the first one to actually call me (instead of sending a generic email). That sealed the deal for me.
The team with she and Kendyll were very thorough with finding out what our wish list was for the wedding and providing us with a very detailed portfolio based on our preferences with photos, prices, and other important resort info.
Kendyll guided me through every step of the planning process and even stepping in when I felt that the resort was being a bit lag in communication or vague in explanations. She was sure to get to the bottom of it.
Sheba was truly a godsend. I panicked as most brides do as we got closer to the wedding date. Not only was she calm and assuring, but she was understanding and did not make me feel like a lunatic. I'd also like to shoutout Anna. I didn't work with her personally but many of my guests did and gave me rave reviews about her ability to follow up and take care of their booking needs.
I wish that we had budgeted to have these ladies our my wedding because they were so instrumental in the success of our wedding at Royalton Negril.
The booking process for 50+ people is something that would have drove me insane but the Modern Travels team made it happen.
We are already thinking of when our vow renewal will be and where we'll have it. We have some big shoes to fill in and you can bet that we will be having our team with Modern on speed dial to facilitate the travel again.
We are not having another wedding, but if we were, we would hire Modern Vacations & Destination Weddings again!! Itzel, Sam, and Kendyll have not only been an absolute pleasure to work with, but they feel like buds and it was fun getting to know them as they got to know us. I know that as a service provider, it is imperative to get to know your client! You need to know their likes, dislikes, family's needs, pets names, sports teams, wedding colors, plane preferences, etc so that a complete inclusive package that's exclusive to each individual can be designed. That happened to us! From "hello" to "how was your trip", this team and their staff were exemplary complimentary to us and we are forever grateful for it. We went to Mexico for our destination wedding/honeymoon with a group of friends and family and MV&DW handle every detail of the trip so that we were able to enjoy our moments with friends without the stress of being unprepared.
5 STARS from The Coopers!!!!!
Buyer beware - We booked our wedding in January 2020 with a proposed date in May 2021 and due to issues associated with COVID-19 we had to cancel our plans. Despite the fact that when we paid our deposits to confirm our plans we had no knowledge a global pandemic was going to ruin everything; the staff at Modern Destinations will not do anything to provide any kind of refund. Paid them $300 and the resort $1,300, and got absolutely nothing in return.
Fereshta, Itzel, Sam and the entire Modern Vacations team were such a pleasure to work with. They helped us lock down a destination for our wedding, find a venue and assisted with all of the booking arrangements for our guests. They took the stress and hassle away from me on the booking process to allow me to work with my wedding planner in Mexico. The whole team did a fantastic job and were always extremely responses! Thank you Modern Vacations for helping bring our special day to life!
I can't say enough positive things about Modern Vacation & Destination Weddings. My husband and I got married this past February in Mexico and it was an absolute dream come true. The entire team at Modern was super professional, prompt in answering questions/concerns, and personable. They honestly do everything they can to make your wedding as easy as possible. Highly recommend!
There really isn't anything I haven't loved about this company. From the very beginning they have been prompt and quick with response times. I thought when I became engaged I was going to plan it all by myself having a destination wedding and quickly realized I wasn't cut out for it AT ALL. This company has handled any question or need of mine as well as my guest attending. Highly recommend ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!!
I’ve been working with Fereshta & Itzel and I can say that they’ve been so amazing. They’ve made this process so much easier with planning a destination wedding. They’re super responsive and answered all my questions.
Our daughter and son-in-law choose Modern Vacations & Destination Weddings to book, arrange, and plan their destination wedding in Playa Mujeres, Mexico. Every single person at Modern Vacations & Destination Weddings that took care of us and our guests were professional, had attention to detail, and were sincerely interested in making sure that this couple had the best possible experience. From helping us make a selection on the resort, select a package with details that were important to the couple, helping us communicate with the resort, and handling our guests and all of their requests, to even being available to us once we were already on the property. Also, we appreciated that most of the agents had visited the properties they were recommending. While we were at the resort, we couldn't help but notice that the resort had a great relationship and respect for our travel agency. The customer service they gave us was second to none. We were also provided with a wedding portal that allowed the couple to share all of the details via a website with their guests as it happened. I can't say enough positive comments about this group. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or vacation.
Fereshta and Krystal were my angels during my entire destination wedding planning process. My wedding was postponed due to COVID-19 which was a complete nightmare, as if having a destination wedding wasn’t stressful enough! Let me tell you though, Modern Vacations seriously saved my mental sanity. I don’t know what I would have done if I had 50 stressed out wedding guests reaching out to me every single day about what to do with their travel, especially during the postponement. Krystal gracefully dealt with so many difficult and tough conversations with some very “difficult” guests of mine about their travel. Fereshta and Krystal held it down for me and I will forever be grateful for them! If you’re on the fence about using Modern Vacations for your destination wedding, DO IT. Trust me, as a corona destination wedding bride, I’m telling you that you will be so thankful.
Modern Vacations & Destination Weddings was amazing to work with! I did not realize everything that goes into a Destination Wedding and they made is so easy for me. The team was so sweet and answered all my questions. They followed up with me through the whole process. Especially with everything going on with COVID, they made sure to reach out to the resort and help us know what we had to have in place before leaving. The team had personal experience with working with the resorts and knowing the areas they recommended. I can't express the how sweet, how hard, and how amazing my wedding was with their help!!
Anna Duran has been amazing. She responds so quickly and is always willing to help. Any time we asked about a resort she would always have the inside scoop. She was always very honest about each resort. She even reached out to me while she was away on vacation to make sure I was being taken care of by her coworker during her absence. She is simply phenomenal! I told her that some of our older family members are not technologically savvy. She offered to contact each one of them personally to help them with the process.
I came to know about Modern Vacations through a destination wedding that I attended in 2016. The experience I had with them for just planning for my family attend a wedding as guests was outstanding top to bottom.
So much so, that they were my first option for planning my 25yr Vow Renewal in St. Lucia.
From the beginning they are attentive to your wants and needs. They provide you with all the details and set the expectations. I have had so many calls, emails and texts with my agent (Anna Duran) during this planning process and she is ALWAYS responsive, pleasant, caring and on top of whatever the situation is. She is awesome!!!
I would definitely recommend Modern Vacations to anyone who wants to plan a wedding or a great vacation but doesn't want to do the leg work on their own. They take away all the stress and allow you to focus on the fun.
