Modern Vacations & Destination Weddings

have ever done. Even from the beginning, narrowing down the resorts for us, was a huge help. We never felt overwhelmed, and we were just so excited and anxious to get to the resort and see everything come together. The whole experience was perfect.

to what me and my husband wanted out of our experience and worked hard to find the perfect match for our vision. I took a lot of comfort in the opportunity to work with real people who understood how important this process was for me! I would absolutely recommend their services to any other bride.

ts importance. I can honestly say that an event that could have been so painfully stressful, was absolutely stress free! Everything was clearly laid out for me when I booked and the communication between all parties was truly amazing. It meant the world to me that all of my guests were treated with as much respect as I was, regardless of what member of the travel team was assigned to them. For example, I know that there were a few follow up phone calls to my parents (who are not totally computer savvy) just to make sure they we comfortable with their travel arrangements and didn't have any further questions. I can't say enough about what a wonderful experience this was. My dream wedding was made a reality, thank you to this incredible team. Everything from my hair and make up to the personalized place settings and glassware were all far more perfect than I could imagine. I can't thank Itzel and Modern Destination Weddings enough for making our dreams come true. I would recommend them to absolutely everyone!

st. That's when I found MDW using a google search. Fereshta and Krystal were the two representatives of MDW that I worked with for our wedding. Fereshta on the front end to figure out details and then Krysta on the back end for all our bookings (not just us but ALL our guests). Fereshta handled the front end. I told her my wish list and she sent me 3 spots that met every requirement but each had their own flare so I also had options. She seamlessly planned our visit down to Mexico to tour all the sights and had everything from transportation to contact with each resort down. She had recommendations, was knowledgeable and just a joy to talk to each time. She was on top of making sure we were making decisions with plenty of time to ensure we weren't stressed. It was incredible. After doing our sites visits and picking our location (Now Sapphire), Fereshta got us in touch with the wedding coordinators there. At that point, other companies wipe their hands and that's it....not MDW. Fereshta requested she stay on all the emails to ensure communication and planning was up to par with what MDW promotes. We started with one coordinator who ended up transitioning to a new position during out wedding planning and Fereshta coordinated phone calls to ensure that I felt completely comfortable in the transition (I'm a bit of a worrier and was getting anxious) and was there every step of the way. Fereshta then handed us off to Krystal, but still maintained communication the entire planing process and checked in with us multiple times. We were in great hands with Krystal, though. Fereshta and Krystal broke down the room block and all the details we needed, it's a bit different because of the destination part and ensuring you pick the right amount of rooms and cut off dates to drop rooms and payments and all those little details. They took multiple calls and explained and re-explained everything. They handled all my guest bookings - flights, resort booking and transportation to and from the resort. It was amazing to have one point of contact not only for my guests but also for us. We were getting constant updates on payment status, who had booked, who needed follow-up, drop dates, everything. They handled all the follow-up with are guests as well and reminded them of payment deadlines and helped answer all questions they could. They coordinated effortless transitions (our guests walked out of the airport and knew who to look for - what transport company - based on notes sent to each guest one to two weeks before the wedding) and had the transportation company waiting with "Craig Schwarz Wedding" signs to make it as easy as possible. After the most incredible day of my life and the most amazing time at our wedding. Krystal and Fereshta followed up and asked to see pictures and ensure that our experience with them was great. I couldn't speak more highly of using MDW and especially Krystal and Fereshta. My day wouldn't have been the same without them. My husband and I loved working with them and we are both still say how glad we were to find a company like MDW.

found the perfect one. Heather was able to find us a killer deal on flights, so much cheaper than prices I looked at on google flights and other such sites! It was really nice to have other travel agents for our guests to contact for questions and booking. Using this company was the best decision and I look forward to using them again in the future for other vacations!!!

decision and she helped us seal the deal with her immediate kindness and knowledge. Itzel was very quick with her responses, and also very reliable with sending over any information in the time frames we discussed. I had a question the night before our plane left for Jamaica and had to email her and she got back to me within minutes, so its safe to say she will definitely see you through from start to finish! My husband also liked that she always included him/his name in the emails haha :) Everyone at Modern Destinations were very nice and professional. We got married at the Royalton White Sands Resort and everything was absolutely perfect, we all had such a great time! Everyone always ask me about the process and if I would recommend and I always say YES! For us a destination wedding was the best decision we could have made!

heir way to ensure it's an easy and fun wedding process - not only for us, but for all of our guests. We knew we were in good hands, but after hearing rave reviews from our guests about the MDW team, I know we made the best choice! 150 days until our wedding day, and we can't wait!

rences, language barriers and just too many resort options. Working with modern destination weddings has been amazing. They make the process so easy and I can’t wait for our wedding. It feels so good to know that we are so well taken care of. I’m expecting between 50-100 guests and they are making their experience with planning just as simple and enjoyable as my own. They held our hands through finding the perfect island, resort and even helped me decide the best location for the ceremony and reception. I have guests coming in from abroad and all over the U.S. and I don’t have to deal with a single rsvp. They do it all.

I wanted a beach wedding, but I didn't want to be on the sand -- Fereshta was somehow able to find me multiple destinations that fit what I was looking for (in the appropriate cost range). Fereshta helped me find the perfect location, worked directly with the hotel to get pricing, and helped get the contract in order. After selecting the venue Krystal was a wonderful asset for myself and all of our wedding guests. Our guests were able to email or call Krystal and received almost immediate responses with the best prices/flights/rooms/etc. Everyone said booking was a breeze! Overall, Fereshta and her team made my destination wedding planning a wonderful experience! Their professionalism and timely responses made this a great experience! I would gladly do it all again for the perfect wedding :) and would recommend Fereshta and Krystal to anyone planning a destination wedding!

ue..Thank you for all that you do ! Highly recommaded by a happy bride.

orld. She is someone you can tell values and loves her job. The onsite corrdinator Sashena in Jamaica read me like a book and was there for my every need, even tho ones I had no idea I needed. Sweet and on call for the bride whenever needed. Then the DJ P.Skyllz was the best DJ had not only family we never thought to get up and dance but had the staff dancing and entertained as well. I truly enjoyed every bit of my planning process and would gladly do it all over again the exact same way. Not many brides can say that but these 3 people made our experience that beautiful for both my husband and I. #marriedtwiceandreadytorenew

responsive florist and even agreed to let me come to the office and sit with her when I was feeling extra overwhelmed. I honestly could not have planned the wedding without Heather and I am very grateful!

and so many other details. Modern Destination Weddings came to our rescue and we couldn't have been luckier to have found them. They simply took care of everything and everyone, they helped us in our search for the venue, booked our flights, made our reservations at the hotel, picked us up at the airport and at the hotel. Itzel, Jaz, and Heather were so accommodating and knowledgeable, they dealt with every guest all by themselves; we had this website called Modernly which allowed me and my husband to keep track of how everyone was doing (who paid, who asked for another quote, who reserved, who cancelled, flight number, arrival and departure times, type of room, etc) and we were not bothered at all throughout the entire process. They were always available if we had any questions or changes, and the most important thing for us: no one was left behind. It was so easy, not to mention more affordable since they have access to awesome deals which are not usually opened to the regular public. Overall, it was the best decision we made, our dream wedding in Cancun couldn't have been possible without them. Thank you so much Modern Destination Weddings!

truly just our travel agent. She was so helpful, thorough, friendly, punctual and above all else, on our side. I say this because my husband and I had an unfortunate situation where the resort we had decided on and signed a contract with dropped us without much notice due to circumstances I still don't really understand. I was frantic to say the least, and Itzel and her assistant went to bat for me and truly saved the freaking day. We were able to move resorts rather quickly and pick up the pieces but I believe that's 100% because Modern Destination Weddings helped us get through it. The majority of my guests also had such great things to say about MDW's travel agents in booking their trips. I had never used a travel agency before but will absolutely contact them in the future for any future travels :) It goes without saying that I highly recommend them. I feel like I owe Itzel so much more than what I was required to pay. I hope this review inspires anyone out there to use them. Such a wonderful resource I didn't even know I needed until I needed them. THANK YOU!!!!

as amazing. Super personable as well!

ravel agent. Krystal worked just a diligently as Fereshta and was knowledgeable when questions were asked. My wedding party had to be cancelled last minute due to extreme circumstances. Not only did Fereshta and Krystal work hard to make arrangements to get everything cancelled, but Modern Vacations worked hard to get my wedding party refunds and cancelations in a matter of days. For that my family and my husand and I are so grateful! We did not have to worry about our wedding travel plans in such tragic times. The Modern Destinations sent my husband and I a beautiful arrangement after the crisis had passed and our wedding was supposed to occur. This was so very thoughtful of them! Now that all is said and done, we went back to Modern Vacations and booked our honeymoon. We were booked in a matter of days! This company is not only great at their job but they CARE!

e world works. But Courtney (at the time) gave me her word that everything would be ok. So we started this process and she walked me through every step on what to expect and how things typically goes. Her support gave me so much comfort. She was always an email or phone call away. The teams professionalism and patience with booking my guest travel was spot on. Halfway through my process Courtney took leave of absence and I was introduced to Fereshta. I must admit I become a bit ruffled as Courtney and I had built a rapport. But Freshta was just as knowledgeable and professional so the transition was seamless. Dalia my wedding coordinator was awesome as well. Fast forward to my wedding day everything was perfect. That time superceeded all my expectations and that is very hard to do because I am so detailed and picky. All the tears and anxiety was well worth it. Everything from my bouquet to the food was perfection. That will always be a day to remember and my guests are still talking about it a month later. So I would like to thank my entire team at Modern Destination Weddings and my coordinator at the resort for sick an outstanding job. I will always be indebted to you for such a superb job well done. I would recommend you to any bride. Thanks again guys

decisiveness when it came to a location - Itzel and her team stuck by our side and made the experience enjoyable. By choosing to use the services provided by Modern Vacations and Destination weddings, Our experience planning our destination wedding was less hectic than it would have been had we tried to take everything on ourselves. We will be married in November, at a beautiful resort in Costa Rica; So there is still a bit of planning yet to do. We know the time leading up to the wedding will go by quickly, and we are thankful to have the continued support from the "Modernly" Team.

avel - she was patient and willing to answer any/all questions. She was also very responsive. Prior to getting in touch with MDW, we were not aware of all of the benefits of using a travel agent. There are no fees associated with using them and they were able to get us a good deal and travel credits through their wholesaler. I only wish I would have found them sooner, because they could have helped me find a resort with available dates for our wedding MUCH quicker. Working with MDW was so much easier than coordinating yourself, plus there is no financial burden to you. Overall, we got good feedback from our guests about using Rhonda's team to book their travel. However, there were some complaints about one particular person's responsiveness, especially to phone calls or voicemails. This was difficult mostly for older guests who were less comfortable coordinating travel over email.

with other responsibilities! Thank you Itzel!

s were going smoothly! Booking was easy for my guests, transportation was already arranged to/from the airport- super easy process for everyone all around. Thank you for helping me in creating the dream wedding I’ve always wanted!! Despite being rained out by a tropical storm, we still had the BEST day ever and we wouldn’t change a thing!!!

Our wedding was perfect! The only thing I would have changed is myself as the bride. Having a destination wedding no planning takes place prior to arrival everything takes place once you arrive, the good news is the resorts do this weekly and at Riu it was daily with multiple weddings taking place and every single thing was perfect. My advice is relax and everything will fall into place!

was time to start wedding planning. All I knew is that I wanted to get married on a beach and a beach reception. My fiancé (now husband) owns his own business so I knew he wouldn’t be much help in the planning process with his crazy schedule. I also know myself well enough to know I crumble under stress. Therefore I knew I needed to work with someone who would be able to assist with all the details. I found Modern Destinations Weddings on theknot.com and they came highly recommended. I reached out to them and had a response from Heather within 24 hours. She was so kind, listed to our wishes, and genuinely seemed to care about our vision. Upon the initial phone call we discuss where, when, our budget, and our must haves in a resort. Within a week Heather had 5-7 resorts picked out that were within our budget and had the features we were looking for (4+ stars, all inclusive, easy asscess from airports in the Midwest and Texas.) We decided on the Now Larimar in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and we’re super excited. Heather then told us that they had just built a brand new Now resort called Onyx and we ultimately decided on that one based on her recommendation. Once our resort was chosen we had about 10 months until our wedding date. During that time Heather and her team made sure to assist us as a couple and our 65 other guests to make sure their flights and rooms were booked. They were able to price match not only the resort rates but the flights as well. Their packages also included airport transportation to and from. Heather made sure to keep in the loop with me and the wedding coordinator throughout the entire duration of the planning process and was even able to help with a few planning details! Heather was also able to assist with our honeymoon flights and booking that stay as well. In summary Heather and her team made our wedding planning process a breeze and nonstressful. The whole Modern Destination Wedding team was attentive, responded quickly, and really took care of us and our family and friends. If you’re thinking about doing a destination wedding, there is no better company to assist you with special day!

ends who'd come along, and knowing that Modern Vacations and Destination Weddings would assist them with their travel (a big benefit considering many in our family weren't regular travelers, much less international travelers!) and that they could pay in installments rather than all at once -- that was a BIG bonus. Itzel was our coordinator and she knew all the questions to ask to help us narrow in on what we wanted. She listened to our wish list (a swimmable beach, all-inclusive for our thirsty family and friends, and activities at the resort for everyone so they would have a good time, etc.) and boy did she deliver! She gave us several resort and wedding packages to choose from, all various locations, amenities and price points. We picked one she had been to and highly recommended, then she booked everything for us. She also answered my many questions along the way knowledgable and quickly. I highly recommend Modern Vacations & Destination Weddings to any destination bride who isn't sure where to start. And when these folks make recommendations, they know what they're talking about! The resort we selected was incredible from the moment we arrived with butlers offering us champagne and hot towels when we stepped off the shuttle (did I mention they arranged our airport to resort transportation - such a breeze!). We were so impressed and so were our guests! We even heard compliments from relatives who regularly travel to destination weddings that it was nicest resort they'd ever been to! We had the best weekend celebrating our marriage, and I would absolutely do it all over again. Itzel even helped us book our honeymoon and we loved the resort so much we are going back to celebrate our anniversary!

rices to several other travel agencies and her packages were much lower with many more perks. We will use Modern Vacations again!

rwhelming stressful and the planning was no longer enjoyable. I sat and contemplated for an entire month or so after canceling the venue with absolutely NO REFUND and was like okay - Destination it is. A former coworker Riley had recently had a beautiful wedding in Mexico and she pointed me in the direction to Modern Vacations & Destination Weddings. Itzel was more than helpful with assisting me in understanding how everything would transpire and also assisted with be picking an actual location. My Husband and I took our first trip out of the country to DR a few years prior; so it only made since to get married there! Once we decided on the location I was worried and stressed like "Okay now to tell the family and actually GET everyone there". Kristen was so accommodating to my entire family. She made sure everyone had their flights, hotel rooms, and last minute change in flights/dates etc. - whatever it was she made sure it was Olivia Pope HANDLED! Itzel and Kristen again We Thank You! All of our family and friends (roughly around 40) joined us at the beautiful Royalton Resort in the Dominican Republic! Our wedding planner Jennifer....Jennifer....Jennifer was just nothing short of perfection. I had forgotten several items at home and she made SURE I had exactly what I wanted and needed! The bouquet that was made in representation of my Father who is deceased brought tear of sadness yet JOY when she presented it to me. My mother and I cried like babies. The set up was everything I envisioned she surely brought my simple yet chic vision to life. The ceremony and the reception was in the middle of the resort so all eyes were on us the entire night! We met our good friend John from London and he kept us laughing the entire WEEKEND not just the wedding but John became a part of the FAMILY! All in All if you want to enjoy planning a wedding but have less stress as possible this is a one stop shop. Destination weddings are nothing short of BEAUTIFUL and RELAXING. A vacation for family members and a celebration of two families becoming ONE! If i could do it again I WOULD IN A HEART BEAT (but would save that $4k and go destination FIRST lol). Itzel - Kristin and the entire Modern vacation & Destination Weddings staff I am forever grateful, and thankful for you all making our wedding day one of the most memorable and perfect days of our life! We thank you!

e planning" one of the worst experiences I have ever had with travel agencies. First off, our wedding is planned for this summer and at a certain point The Hard Rock Casino in Punta Cana changed room minimum stays from 3 nights to 7 nights without notice and forced many of our invitees to either decide not to come or stay at a cheaper resort nearby. The way this was handled was not how we hoped it would have been. Itzel our agent did try to work with them and blocked out a certain number of rooms in which we put a deposit on thinking if we did not get them filled we would lose the deposit. Come to find out the terms stated that we would have to pay 40% of the stay if not booked which was not conveyed to us in a straight forward manner. I now sit here typing up this review because I have asked for a response as to the cost to us so we can decide whether or not to drop the rooms because based off of the contract the cost to us will be increased by 10% by end of day today, yet the email I sent requesting our total cost from 6 days ago has not been responded to and even after multiple emails today I have received zero acknowledgements of my emails. Our guests had similar experiences with quotes taking sometimes up to to weeks for response time. This is not how wedding planning should happen when booking through a wedding company. This has created more frustration than simplification and I only wish we would have booked through the resort ourselves cut out the frustration. When this is your business, response time is everything.

tood our vision for our beach wedding. We asked for a Resort that was not full of children but did allow children at the resort, as we needed our flower girl and ring bearer there, but did not want to constantly be tripping over kids. We asked for a resort that had exceptional service and amazing food but did not break the bank. We also asked for a resort with multiple food and bar options as we wanted our guests to feel like they had everything they needed on the resort. Itzel delivered. She sent us 5 Resort options with a little note about each of them and why she had recommended them. Once we decided on a resort, she than began quoting several different options such as: length of stay, room options, and different flight times. She and her team, (we also worked with Jaz) made the booking process super easy and stress free for our guests. They even had transportation figured out, which is something I would have forgotten. I should mention, I have never traveled out of the country so I would have had absolutely zero idea how to do any of this or even where to begin. However, several of our guests have traveled to all-inclusive before and all of them had told us that the Royalton Resort was the best all-inclusive they had ever been to. They said the Service, Food, Activities, multiple pools and bars and the option to do Hideaway (no kids) was far superior to any other all-inclusive they had been to. Aside from all of this, Itzel was more than willing to deal with any issues we had with the Resort. Ex: when we booked our photographers room and flights, the Royalton required an "outside vendor" to stay for 3 nights but when we got our final quote the Resort required them to stay 4 nights. I notified Itzel of this and she took care of it with the Resort so that we did not have to pay the extra money. Itzel also ensured we got the best package price and that we got all "freebies" that were included with booking our wedding at the Resort. Our wedding would not have gone off as seamlessly as it did without Modern Destination Weddings. My Husband and I would like to thank you all immensely for the work you did to ensure our wedding was everything we dreamt of. We highly recommend this company for Destination Weddings!!! _______________________________________________Modern Destination has been critical in planning our wedding. I've personally never been out of the country so any and every recommendation Itzel gives is highly considered. I would not be able to have a destination wedding without her! Her knowledge about the location, weather, timing, and most importantly, her relationship with the resort/vendors has made planning my wedding relatively seamless- the most stress I’ve had is deciding which restaurant to have cater our reception! Itzel is so sweet and has shown that she cares about us and our wedding- which was so important to us when we first started gathering wedding ideas. Thank you Itzel and Team for everything you’ve done for us!! Catherine & Hunter

uites in Montego Bay, Jamaica and could not have a better week of celebration with family and friends! Destination weddings are the way to go!!! These guys rock and promise they will help you plan the wedding of your dreams!

rts , Rivera Maya Mexico and it was the best day of our life! The weather was amazing, our wedding coordinator along with our travel agents were available to us and our guests every step of the way . After the laughters, the tears of joy and the incredible family and close friends, once all was said and done , our wedding exceeded our expectations, it was as a dream that turned into reality all at once .

eir travel and everything was so organized and easy. Even when we had last minute changes with our guests, they were so accommodating and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a stress free planning process!

l the travel team handled all the specifics and details! Easy and reasonable payment plans too! We only use them for our international travel from this point and beyond.

f you can ask for Fereshta!! Also just in general, do a destination wedding, so much less stress and the beach makes for killer pictures! We went to Hard Rock Hotel Punta Cana, and it was almost like we were in Vegas, but with the most amazing beach to lounge at every day. They upgraded our room and the staff was the friendliest around. I can't wait to go back!

at selection of resorts to choose from. We fell in love with a resort that was a little out of the budget we wanted for our guests so they helped me find many comparable resorts in a price range I provided. We ended up getting married at Alsol Tiara Cap Cana in Dominican Republic. It ended up being what we wanted and more. We cant thank fereshta and Sam enough for helping us make our day so great!

I wanted. We booked an excursion through amstar and with miscommunication with the outside company we ended up missing our ride for 30 people. I was in a panic and Heather received my email and called me from her cellphone at 6am on her day off to help me resolve the issue. Not only did she resolve it but she got us a full refund!!!! I can go on and on and on but anyone planning to do a destination wedding this is where to start!!!! Thank you guys soooooo much. Our week was perfect and it’s all because of you!!!

mazing everything turned out. I would not hesitate to give her information to any of my family and friends.

ly knowledgeable about resorts, destinations, and wedding details and found the perfect place for our style and budget! I was so nervous about planning a wedding in another country, but Itzel was there every step of the way to make sure we were getting just what we wanted. I had so many questions and she was always there to answer them quickly. We also loved how easy they made the process of booking for all of our guests going to the destination with us. There are not enough amazing things to say about Itzel and the team at Modern Destination Weddings!!

k Cancun and started working on the travel details, we were introduced to Sam. Sam was a pleasure to work with and was there to answer any questions and resolve any concerns our guests had with traveling internationally. They make a wonderful team!!

re out our wants/needs and she matched us with the perfect resort! The staff is able to give first hand information because most of them have been to the resorts or know of couples who have been, so they only send you to the best. The staff was also responsible for booking all of our guests resort stay and travel and they had nothing but wonderful things to say about them! Thank you, Modern Destination Weddings, for helping to facilitate the most perfect day!

rangements and flight information which made coordinating delivery of guests favors to their room upon arrival very easy. Itzel walked me through the process of planning a destination wedding every step of the way. She coordinated with the resort to ensure everything was exactly how I pictured. I highly recommend using Modern Destination Weddings.

able online. We were recommended to resorts in the Hurricane belt during hurricane season. We were expecting so much more. If you don't book something after a few communications Modern Destination loses interest in you. They are really not interested in you and your wedding only in the $$$$$.

g vacation for all who attended. Heather, Chris and their team assisted 70 guests with their travel accommodations and helped book a private boat cruise that guests are still talking about. Our wedding was exactly as we had imagined and would not have changed anything. I highly recommend Modern Destination Weddings as they guided us towards our perfect venue, reduced the stress of planning a wedding, and were an integral part of creating memories that will last a lifetime.

with zero problems. They responded immediately if I needed something and were very hands-on. Planning travel accommodations for 50+ people is VERY hard, so props to them! They were also kind enough to send me a bottle of champagne and strawberries when I arrived at my hotel and cute personalized tumblers! Thank yall so much!!!!

individuals who like to see many many options before making decisions. This makes us tough clients, although Heather stuck with us and was very helpful in coming to a final decision. Not all of the available options were on the MDW website, which had us questioning if we were going to find what we wanted. Thanks to Heather, we were able to expand our search and find the perfect spot! Once the decision was made, the MDW team made everything happen with ease. It was so nice and easy to have point people within the MDW team to send our guests to. Our group appreciated how easy it was to get all the travel research conducted and booked by MDW. The payment options were also very convenient.

r my husband and I to make our wedding a forever great memory. Mike was over all of my guests travel plans and was able to get everyone to our destination wedding and back home with no problems; from flight to transportation to and from airport and room was seamless. Everyone was very pleased on how smooth everything flowed.

would use them over and over again, but I only want one wedding ;)

s did at Modern Destination Weddings for myself and my guests. As many people know, planning a wedding takes a lot of time and effort. This is part of the reason we wanted a destination wedding, plus I love to travel. Today most people think women plan the wedding, which for me is true, I planned most of the wedding with Itzel, but she also wanted to make sure my husband would be happy too. That just showed me how much she cared and wanted to make sure both of us were happy. Itzel made everything so easy from the first time I contacted her. From the first phone call to answering every single questions via email and calls, Itzel always had an answer for me, and if for some reason she didn't she would always get it for me. Itzel and her team always responded within reasonable business hours. If they were not in the office, their out of office email was always on and was updated and had accurate information. In terms of booking the hotel and scheduling flights, Chris and his team were on top of it. When we were ready to book flights, Itzel scheduled a time for us to conference Chris via phone call and go over how booking the hotel and flights worked. Chris had every possible answer for ALL the questions I could have asked. After speaking for the first time he sent me an email recapping everything we discussed. He made it clear if any of my guests had questions they could contact him and his team. He wanted to make sure I was stress free. Clearly this is a professional team. I had guests traveling from all over the world and he was still able to work with the different time zones and accommodate for everyone. They gave me complete confidence planning a wedding thousands of miles away. Itzel went out of her way to hand write me a post card and send a beautiful gift for our wedding. Companies today do not show that kind of compassion to their customers, for me this went a long. Any bride looking to book a destination wedding or honeymoon, go with MODERN DESTINATION WEDDINGS. I tell everyone I know how great a service they provide. I hope this review helps another couple choose Modern Destination Weddings. Thank you, Carla

own wedding coordinator and give our guests another team of coordinators shows that they wanted to be available to us as much as possible. Our wedding coordinator, Heather Kogler, couldn't have been any better if she tried. Her recommendations were always great and she even had a destination wedding which helped us with a lot of the questions that we had. She will now always hold a special place in our lives because of how amazing our unbelievable our wedding was. She was truly amazing from her suggestions all the way down to dealing with a bride and groom on a daily basis . We have literally been referring Modern Destination Weddings to everyone we've come in contact with. The customer service is superb.

for me! She was so professional and was ALWAYS there to answer any of my questions within a day! My 73 guests were also very pleased with the service and they said it was easy to book their vacation. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING Heather! Both of our trips ran so smoothly and it was a huge relief to not have to worry about booking our vacations! I highly recommend using Modern Destination Weddings, they are so professional, helpful and kind!

nsure we didn't let any deadlines slip. She negotiated great rates for us as well. When we had to cancel our original room block and switch our rooms over to individual reservations, she didn't miss a beat and maintained a great attitude while ensuring everything was taken care of. And she handled a good portion of our guests' accommodations, including my parents' and my brothers' travel arrangements - saving me a ton of work and stress in the process. She played a huge role in ensuring our wedding planning process was a breeze.

ly and fun! Chris booked us for both weddings and did a fantastic job! My friends had their dream weddings and we had awesome vacations because of this company!

irst reached out to Heather we were undecided on wedding location. We knew we wanted Mexico, but that was about it. Heather listened to our must-haves and have-nots and came back with several choices. Never once did we feel pressured and it was clear Heather was looking out in our best interest. We ultimately settled on Live Aqua in Cancun and boy are we glad we did. Our wedding was more than we (or any of our 22 wedding guests) could have ever expected! Our flight was perfectly uneventful, as was our transport to the hotel. We were greeted at the resort like celebrities and treated like royalty the entire stay. Even my bougie parents said they had never received better service (now that's high praise from those two!). But really, Modern Destination Weddings was the best wedding planning decision. Weddings are stressful and Heather and Mike took so much weight off our shoulders. When it came to coordinating travel for family (from all over the country, by the way), our job ended at the "Call Mike @ (xxx) xxx-xxx" on the save the dates. Mike and Heather handled everything. And when our guests found better deals, Modern Destination Weddings matched it. Now that's service!

was our point of contact every step of the way. I could not have done it without her and the team. I highly recommend Modern Destination Weddings to anyone looking to do a destination wedding as well as plan vacations ( they do that too)!

ple and fun! I would highly recommend contacting Heather for you destination wedding needs!

is looking for help planning their destination wedding.

earch and found the best fit for my husband, myself and our entire family. Mike was always helpful and responded very quickly to the million of e-mails I sent him. We had a ton of requests and questions and he did his best to answer them all in a timely manner. They were so friendly and helpful and made the travel planning very easy!

personality, we were blessed to work with her and Modern Destination as a great agency. Heather helped us through every step of our wedding process. We also enjoyed creating our website at Weddingbase.com that Heather setup for us which was exciting to do for our guests. We started talking to Heather over a year from our wedding date and she was fortunate enough to place the right people in our life with the help of Jessica, Dustin and Sam in finalizing my guest’s travels to the Majestic Elegance and Colonial Resort in Punta Cana. We were very pleased with their professionalism and how they assisted our wedding guest. We were very pleased with Heather’s help with narrowing down the choices she recommended to us with our situation of bringing children on the vacation, we selected the Majestic Elegance and Colonial Resort in Punta Cana, with her knowledge and experience we had our DREAM wedding and amazing Honeymoon. Our booking and travels to and from the resort went smoothly and she introduced us to an awesome wedding coordinator Flor Mendez of Majestic Elegance Resort, Punta Cana. The Photographer Andrew from Tropical Studio was amazing they stayed with us throughout the entire reception. They worked diligently with us as if they were our family. My husband and I look forward to Modern Destination planning our first Anniversary Vacation. Thank you for our first time and awesome experience.

t fit what we wanted. If it weren’t for her and the rest of the Modern Destination team our special day would not have been as amazing and spectacular as it was.

ern Destination to help me with my destination wedding. I highly recommend them to my friend and family. Thanks Heather & Mike for a great experience!!!

and Casino Punta Cana a shot. Heather and Chris are very professional and listened to our concerns. The only negative downfall was dealing with the inconsistencies with the Miami and onsite wedding coordinators. Heather and Chris were awesome in making contacts to get the answers we needed with the resort. However, once we made it to the resort and met the onsite coordinator, we knew right then that she was going to make sure our day was special. I trusted her immediately. Thank you so much Heather for the recommendation! I am going to miss speaking with them because they are so kind! Thanks again Heather and Chris!

ather helped us quickly narrow down our options. Her recommendation was spot on- we had a gorgeous wedding and it was affordable for many of our guests to attend. Chris provided each guest with a detailed itinerary for their trip and everyone arrived without issue. Heather and Chris were professional, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you for helping us with the wedding of our dreams!

along the way.

nd believe it or not, I got a call the next day! I got a call from the Heather! She was such a delight. The moment we spoke, I felt like I've known her for years! She made sure she took notes of my dream wedding and yes, she made everything come true! I was not an easy one.... I had the craziest requests.. I planned a wedding in 7 months. Heather stayed on top of everything. She was our go to girl! While Heather took care of hubby & I, my guest were assigned to another travel agent, Mike. All of my family and friends said he was great to work with. He made sure he responded quickly with quotes and booking all of their travel plans in a timely manner. Over all we would give Modern Destination far more than 5 stars but unfortunately that's the limit :( They are amazing! They made me feel so secure, safe and worry free. I find myself trying to convince those that aren't interested in a destination wedding because of our life changing experience.
