About this vendor
We’re two sisters, two past destination wedding brides, and one heart behind Our Destination Weddings (ODW). We’ve felt the excitement, the nerves, and the magic that come with saying “I do” away from home, and that’s exactly why we love what we do.
For over a decade, we’ve helped couples plan effortless, unforgettable weddings across the Caribbean and Mexico. As award-winning and top-producing travel specialists for ten consecutive years, we bring not only experience but genuine care.
Our couples quickly become family. We laugh with you, celebrate with you, and make sure you always feel supported. What started as our shared love for travel and connection has become something much bigger — a lifelong passion for helping others create their view from forever.
With love,
Carol & Carolisa

Working with Our Destination Weddings was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We primarily worked with Carol, but her sister Carolisa was equally a pleasure - togeth...
er they make an incredible team. From the very first intro call, we felt at ease. Carol spoke from real experience, having planned her own destination wedding, and that insight showed every step of the way. Through Carol’s thorough research and strong industry connections, we felt fully confident choosing Dreams Macao Beach after reviewing a few other resort options. The way she broke everything down made the decision clear and easy.
Carol was also extremely responsive over email, always anticipating potential issues before they reached us. Our guests felt the same level of care - many shared how grateful they were to get their questions answered patiently and receive guidance through the process. A few guests needed to adjust their dates, and the team handled those changes quickly and without stress. The payment plans were a huge help for budgeting, and the custom wedding website they built made everything simple for our guests. What really stood out, though, was their consistency, kindness, and professionalism. Every interaction made it clear that they truly care about their couples and want the entire experience - from booking to travel to check-in - to be seamless. We’re incredibly grateful for Carol, Carolisa, and the entire Our Destination Weddings team. They made our celebration not just possible, but smooth, organized, and enjoyable for everyone involved. Highly recommend! Photos by: Punta Cana Storytellers.
A huge shoutout to Carol and the Our Destination Weddings team!
When I first began the wedding planning process, I had no idea what to expect, especially when planning a wedding ...
out of the country. I got married in Cancun MX at Dreams Riviera Cancun, and it was absolutely beautiful. From my very first meeting with Carol, I knew I was in good hands. The entire team was incredibly professional, organized, and excellent with follow-up.
I especially appreciated being able to ask Carol for her personal opinion. As a destination bride herself, she offered thoughtful insight that truly helped shape my big day. That level of care and experience made all the difference.
The team was always responsive, supportive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly. I can truly say the ODW team relieved so much stress when it came to booking and coordination.
If you’re considering a destination wedding, I highly recommend working with them
When I got engaged in July 2024, I knew I wanted our wedding to be outside of the US. When we decided to have it in Punta Cana, DR, I knew I would need as much help as possible whe...
n it came to travel. As a type A, I couldn't wrap my head around how much work needed to be done to ensure my guests knew everything necessary to book their trip & get to Punta Cana with little to no hiccups.
I was referred to ODW through Rachel, the wedding planner at Kukua Beach Club (the venue I booked). Upon our initial consultation, Carol was extremely knowledgeable & honest about expectations, and gave us a clear overview of the process.
Throughout the entire planning process, Carol & Carolisa were instrumental to keeping me at ease. They created the travel page for us, where guests could go to book their rooms. They also gathered flight information, payments, and sent reminders on everything related to travel, including airport transfers. They were able to accommodate changes guests made to their booking, and were responsive to many of our guests questions. When the wedding got closer, they sent email reminders about airport transfers & the required E-ticket. It was a HUGE weight off of my shoulders.
Although the resort they recommended didn't end up meeting our expectations, Carol made sure she understood my concerns. She helped facilitate communication between me and resort, and stepped in when necessary. She followed up with me even after the wedding and made sure I was still receiving support.
I wouldn't recommend ODW enough! Thanks to them, I truly had the best and smoothest time traveling to my wedding.
Carolina truly fought for me every step of the way. She made sure all of my guests’ bookings and room rates were successfully transferred to the new hotel, with prices matched exac...
tly as promised. I cannot recommend ODW enough. They took so much stress off my shoulders and handled the entire situation like total pros. Any time I needed something—even in the days leading up to the wedding—Carolina was just a quick call away and always answered. Thank you so much for everything

both English and Spanish truly made a difference by eliminating any language barriers. They were incredibly responsive and always quick to reply to emails, even while on vacation. We truly felt supported every step of the way. ODW absolutely earned 5 stars, and we would recommend them with our eyes closed!

They also took care of setting up a room block for our guests, which made things so much easier for everyone. Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but they made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
Super helpful, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. If you’re planning a trip or a wedding, definitely reach out to them. We’re so glad we did!
Working with Carol (and her sister Carol!) was one of the most meaningful parts of my entire wedding journey. My destination wedding at the Royalton Riviera Cancun would not have b...
een the same without them. The value was incredible — they worked within my budget, fought for the best rates, and made sure my guests had options they were comfortable with. Every penny felt like it went toward peace of mind.
But what truly set them apart was their heart. Their professionalism was perfection, but their attitude… that’s what changed everything for me. They were patient, warm, and supportive in a way that felt so personal. We talked almost every day, and now that the wedding is over, I genuinely miss our conversations. It felt like losing a little piece of my daily routine, because they weren’t just planning my trip — they were walking through the entire experience with me.
When negative reviews started coming out about the resort after I booked, I was overwhelmed and scared. Carol never let me spiral. She reassured me, kept me grounded, and reminded me that everything would work out. And she was right.
She handled every single guest, even the difficult ones, with unbelievable grace. She made me feel understood, taken care of, and never alone in the process.
Carol didn’t feel like a travel agent… she felt like a sister. And I will always be grateful for her.
