Travel & Luxury Vacations

ng here in my hometown. Once I finally made up my mind that planning a traditional wedding would physically kill me with my type “A" personality, I tried looking into all my options of having a destination wedding. I thought the stress would stop there but little did I know I was overwhelmed again with all the emails, brochures, venue calls from other destination wedding locations that I almost regretted my decision. Around that time, my sister reminded me of her friend’s aunt -who was a travel agent and could maybe help me with all this. Ladies, she turned into my knight in shining armor. She emailed me places that fit exactly what I was looking for (I needed a place that was family friendly) instead of just looking at all the potential places. Her knowledge and experience with traveling made my decision of picking the country/venue so easy. After that, she walked me every step of the way. Ladies, you don't understand, please listen to me here from a past bride! Destinations weddings can be stressful too! I had guests losing their passports almost the day before we left, people canceling their trip, people wanting to join in on the trip months later after the deadline. But guess what, that's where Lauré came in. I didn’t have to worry about my father- in-law not having a passport until the day before his departure, or my sister-in-law wanting to come way past the deadline - because everyone knew to JUST CONTACT Lauré! Literally, the day before we left my dad had so many questions and instead of sitting on the phone with him for an hour - I got to concentrate on getting my last minute details done while Lauré explained everything to him via the phone. I think I would have had a panic attack trying to organize not just a wedding but also everyone's travel arrangements as well. I cannot recommend her enough to all you ladies! Lauré literally made my wedding day happen! In summary, I loved that I got to spend not just one night with all my loved ones- but several days making memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Lauré for everything you did for my wedding vacation! And you future brides - congratulations in advance!

ed to Lauré by another bride who spoke very highly of her assistance in planning their destination wedding. After a brief phone call, Lauré quickly provided a list of potential resort venues in Mexico with associated descriptions to assist us in finding the perfect fit. Once we settled on the El Dorado Royale Spa & Resort, sent out our invitations, and our guests started booking their trips, Lauré took over. I switched my focus to wedding planning and left the travel planning to Lauré. My guests were very appreciative of her quick, friendly responses when communicating travel needs. We ended up having 47 guests attend our wedding. We didn’t find out until we got to the resort and spent a few days frolicking around how perfect that venue was for a wedding party of that size. Lauré had highly suggested that resort and I am glad we listened. She nailed it. Once we all arrived safely at the resort and the wedding festivities began, Lauré was no longer technically required to be involved, aside from a highly entertaining WhatApp group with the entire wedding party. After the wedding, she reached out to make sure that everything went as planned. There had been only one issue that arose during the reception and, once made aware, Lauré made sure to reach out to our wedding coordinator to bring it to their attention. We ended up getting a personal apology and an upgraded candlelight dinner at our second resort, El Dorado Maroma, for the honeymoon portion of the trip. It was reassuring to know that we had someone to advocate on our behalf.
