Carmen has been beyond amazing supporting our destination wedding and honeymoon trip! Our original wedding date was scheduled for May 2020 in Punta Cana, DR. Less than 2 months to go, the world shut down and we had to post-pone our wedding to...
May 2021. As if that wasn’t already a lot of work, between contacting guests that had already booked, to supporting all of us with rescheduling, we found that most guests still didn’t feel comfortable to travel. We pushed out our date another year, to May 2022 – and Carmen was beyond accommodating, and thanks to her, we were finally able to have our dream wedding! Carmen worked with us on the new date, making sure all guests had the most updated information needed, the latest Covid travel protocols, and the attention to detail to book not only the hotel, but the round trip from the airport on their designated travel dates. For my husband and I, she also booked a different resort that was to be our honeymoon destination, and we had such a smooth trip, it was wonderful. This isn’t the first time that I have used Carmen’s services, and she never disappoints! I’ve already recommended her to others for traveling needs!

She made sure that everyone knew what to do prior to arriving, during, and after departure from our destination with the additional covid restrictions, which was especially helpful to our guests who were traveling alone for the first time or traveling for the first time ever. She made sure to help field all questions concerning travel so that we could focus on planning the wedding of our dreams. We couldn't have pulled this off without her very patient and dedicated work.

nformed me of things I had no idea about that helped me save money on our big day and she managed our crazy 75+ guest list. Having her help took off the pressure of having to answer everyone’s travel concerns, questions and payments. One of our close guests had a family emergency while we were already on the island, Carmen completely took care of it and my husband and I didn’t have to stress ourselves out trying to find him a solution. I highly recommend Carmen at Suntastic Honeymoons and Vacations for a destination wedding because planning a wedding is already stressful and there are so many things to be on-top of.. I was losing my mind while also worrying about COVID-19. She helped us when we had to change our wedding date, updated all of our guests about any health advisories and made sure everyone filled out necessary forms as well as registered for health insurance which gave all of my guests peace of mind. I could go on and on but I’ll just say…Do your self a favor and let Carmen help you with your destination wedding! You won’t regret it. Thank you Suntastic!

led for May 2020. In late March, with less than 2 months to go, we learned that our resort was closing down, with no reopening date projected. All our guests were booked, they had their plane tickets, and everything was selected and ready to go! Although rather disappointed, we understood the gravity of the situation, and Carmen not only provided us with comforting words, but assured us she would work with us and our guests to make it right! She quickly reached out to our guests and notified them, making sure we all got refunded for any deposits made through Suntastic Honeymoons. She also worked with the airlines to provide a credit back for the airfare she had booked for our guests. Her support meant everything to us during this time, and the fact that she also took such great care of our guests, so we didn’t have added stress, was truly priceless. I am so grateful and thankful for her and the services and support provided. A destination wedding is such a special occasion, no couple should have to go through this roller coaster, but she was with us the whole way through! And now, we have decided to post-pone out to May 2021, and we are very much looking forward to having Carmen take care of us again!

With all of the uncertainty with our plans right now and our new date planned for November 2020 (fingers crossed) the last thing we wanted to stress about was a honeymoon that was supposed to be our opportunity to relax and start our married lives together. Carmen has been nothing but easy to communicate with, responsive, supportive and understanding of our decision to hold off on our honeymoon for now and we look forward to rebooking it with her soon. Aside from the postponement, Carmen was extremely knowledgeable on where to stay, different options to fit into what we wanted to do as well as our budget and helped plan what I know will be an amazing trip.

Unfortunately, we decided it made the most sense to cancel our trip. Carmen was very helpful in letting us know about refund options etc. We will definitely work with Carmen again when we decide what to do moving forward. She's already been great with providing information about a new destination (Italy), when we might want to book that, and what insurance options we have.

le meetings to ensure everything we wanted for our honeymoon was what we were looking for. From the flights being booked with ample amount of time between connections, multiple tours in Italy which were top notch, transfer car services with amazing drivers, and last but not least all the hotels were 5 star with beautiful grounds. It's truly obvious to know that Carmen knows how to plan an amazing honeymoon. She also knows which places and which services you would need. She doesn't try to promote one or the other but simply gives you options to make it a dream honeymoon. Finally, Carmen is great with communication and making sure the entire itinerary is correct. I would highly recommend Carmen for your next honeymoon or vacation.

ce we picked a resort, we picked a date, and saved rooms for guests. She sent out invitations to book rooms via e-mail and sent out travel packets prior to wedding date. She saved me a lot of stress because my wedding guests would book the rooms through her and asked her all the questions about the resort. Imagine planning a wedding and also being your wedding guest's travel agent? No thank you! With Carmen she was the go to person with travel arrangements from hotel stay to hotel transfer. She was very well organized and thorough! Which is exactly what you need when traveling. A friend of mine had a destination wedding and also had a travel agent but her travel agent wasn't nearly as organized and didn't seem to be sure about all the information. Long story short, some people showed up to the resort only to find out that their names weren't even in the reservations so other guests had to find some place else to stay!! HORROR! not something you want your guests to deal with during your wedding week, especially since they came all this way.. One stressful factor during the whole experience was blocking rooms. I had blocked 15 rooms expecting only 40-50 guests to come. Well 80 guests came and we weren't able to block more rooms because 90% of the guests booked their room a week before the deadline. I would encourage reminding guests to place deposit to save a room ASAP and not a week before the deadline so you Carmen can better gauge how many more rooms need to be added. Overall, it was a great experience.
