Honeymoons & Weddingmoons

Design your getaway to match your styles and tastes. Whether you prefer an ultra-luxurious adults-only all-inclusive in the Caribbean or an over-the-water bungalow in the South Pacific, there is a destination that suits your tastes. Maybe an off-the-beaten path Greek Isles escape or cruising the Mediterranean. … if you are active adventurous at heart. This is your time, this is your honeymoon.

We recognize that you want your first trip as husband and wife to be special. Our travel advisors will help you design the perfect memorable honeymoon.

Why Destination Weddings?

  • Financial - not to remove romance from the equation, but the #1 reason brides & grooms choose to have a destination wedding is economics - the average American wedding costs $28,000 plus the honeymoon while the average Caribbean all-inclusive resort destination wedding costs the bride & groom between $5,000 - $6,000 including the honeymoon!
  • Escape from Drama & Stress - we handle all of the travel logistics, guests registrations, and finances, you basically pick your colors and show up! We’ll even design invitational flyers and Facebook pages for you to distribute & use.
  • Romance - what’s more romantic than being married on a secluded beach with the background of the aquamarine waters of the Caribbean Sea? Or in an over-the-water gazebo in Tahiti? Or by the Captain on a cruise ship? Castle in Ireland? Greek Isle? You name it, we can plan your wedding there! If you don’t have ideas, don’t worry, we do! Process

Where do we even begin?

The task of planning a destination wedding can completely overwhelm a couple, especially when you don’t even know where to begin. We can meet with you (in person if you are local, “virtually” or via a phone conference if you aren’t) and ease your mind about the entire process. In a nutshell, this is what it looks like:

  1. Pick a destination - we will listen to your wants & desires and go through the pros and cons of all of the options that match what you’re looking for in the perfect destination. During our planning session you can pick our brains and ask as many questions as you like!
  2. Book the wedding date & venue - once the destination is chosen, we’ll book the actual wedding and “virtually” introduce you to your on-site wedding coordinator.
  3. Block group space - once the wedding is booked, we will block group space at the resort or on the cruise and with the airlines if your group requires air
  4. Let the registration begin! - We will provide a flyer and registration form to serve as an invitation for your guests. They will RSVP to and pay us directly and we will regularly report - as often as you like - the list of guest registrations to you. This alleviates you from a lot of headaches, stress, and awkward moments like hitting Aunt Thelma up for her deposit at Thanksgiving dinner!

Now you are well on your way to your destination wedding and by this point in the process, you will feel like an expert, too!

Service & Benefits

The task of planning a destination wedding can completely overwhelm a couple, especially when you don’t even know where to begin. We can meet with you (in person if you are local, “virtually” or via a phone conference if you aren’t) and ease your mind about the entire process. In a nutshell, this is what it looks like:

  • Two wedding coordinators - stateside you will meet with one of our expert destination wedding planners who will be your group’s dedicated agent and walk you through the entire experience from the planning stages, to the reservation & registration process, until you are ready to travel. She will coordinate all of your plans with your dedicated wedding planner at the resort, who will begin to communicate with you when you are ready before you travel, and take care of all of your needs at your destination.
  • Free & Discounted Weddings & Travel - many resorts offer free wedding packages and with a certain number of guests traveling with you. Many brides and grooms are eligible for free or discounted travel depending on your group size.
  • Bridal Registry - you may also choose to register your honeymoon with us. We customize your registry to your trip and provide registry cards for your shower invitations. Many brides choose to register only for travel gift certificates, but many also choose room/suite upgrades, couples’ massages and other spa treatments, and excursions.
  • Group Event Planning - we not only help you plan the wedding but can also help you plan group activities at your resort (welcome cocktail reception, rehearsal dinner, beach bonfire, etc..) and group excursions off-resort. Would you like to charter a catamaran for a snorkeling trip? Organize a group zip-lining adventure? Rent 20 ATVs for a ride through the jungle? No problem!
  • Low Initial Deposits - All of the travel & wedding services for the bride and groom can be reserved for a low initial deposit, typically between $500 - $1,000, and sometimes lower - depending on your choice of destination & wedding packages. Your deposit goes toward your final payment. Your guests’ deposit for their travel package to attend your wedding – including air - are typically $200 per person.

Destination Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties

More and more wedding parties are expanding their festivities over a long weekend in a fun destination rather than a one-night party. And why not? We can organize all of the travel arrangements as well as the registration process so that best man or maid of honor does not have to track down twenty people for their deposits.
