Do you need a destination wedding planner or a destination wedding travel agent?
We offer both services and we can understand why it might be a bit confusing! For our destination wedding travel agent packages, we help our couples find a resort that matches their wish list. Once we have the resort chosen, we then request group rates from tour operators (airlines) so that we can make sure they get the best travel rate (ideally with the most perks). From there, we help our couples save the date at the resort and virtually introduce them to the on site coordinator. All of the details are then confirmed with the wedding planning team on site, typically 2-3 months before the wedding.
