"What an amazing experience!"

We highly recommend DestinationWeddings.com for anyone planning a destination wedding—especially if you're looking for expert guidance to make everything seamless. Our experience was made even better thanks to Tracy Espina, our Certified Destination Wedding Specialist, who went above and beyond to bring our wedding vision to life. From helping us select the beautiful Dreams Jade Resort & Spa to coordinating each of our guests' accommodations, transfers, and flights in and out of Cancun, Tracy handled it all with skill and care. She was always available to answer questions and address concerns, often hopping on the phone to ensure we felt completely supported. Our guests also appreciated her professionalism and friendliness, which made the booking process smooth for everyone. If you're considering a destination wedding, we can't recommend Tracy and DestinationWeddings.com highly enough—they turned our dream wedding into a reality!
 

"The show still went on! Hurricane Beryl attempted to ruin our wedding plans. Even though we had a few delayed flights, we still were able to have our dream wedding. Maggie Elles stayed in constant communication with all parties and ensured we had proper accommodations."

"Our dream beach wedding and honeymoon came true! The most beautiful, romantic, and gorgeous resort, and the wedding and honeymoon of our dreams! We had the most amazing time that we will never forget! We both felt we became even closer from this trip and have built a strong foundation for our relationship and marriage.

Wouldn't have happened without Samantha Russom! Recommend her to help make your vision become a reality! She is THE BEST!

Impressions Isla Mujeres was the most romantic, gorgeous resort! It was so picturesque that it didn't feel real!"
 

We had the wedding of our dreams at Secrets Puerto Los Cabos with the help of DestinationWeddings.com. This resort was amazing! We would recommend it to anyone planning a destination wedding. The wedding coordinator here, Mónica Olivares, was so incredible. She went above and beyond to make our big day perfect!

Denise was the epitome of detailed organization, proactive communication, and calming energy during the year-long planning of our destination wedding. She is such an expert in the field that all of the travel logistics became one less thing we had to worry about.

We had over 160 guests traveling from all over the world, whom Denise communicated with individually to ensure their travel itineraries were correct and seamless. We did not encounter a single issue, and Denise worked with us as flights were canceled, people missed connections, and unforeseen problems arose.

Denise always went the extra mile for us. Since we were not able to afford a wedding planner, we had to do almost everything ourselves, and Denise stepped in, using the plethora of connections she has made over her long career in the business to ensure that our hotel and vendors met our needs. She jumped on phone calls, was CC'd on every email, and made sure that all of our requests were met, ensuring we felt comfortable and confident going into our big weekend. We can't thank her enough for making what was very time-consuming and stressful into a more enjoyable experience. All of our guests were thrilled with the weekend, and much of that is thanks to Denise.

I would recommend Denise to anyone planning a destination wedding. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, DENISE!

I just had my wedding with Destination Weddings a week ago and it went so smoothly and perfect with all of my guests! Everyone raved about Maggie Elles (our agent from Destination Weddings) and how amazing she was! She truly ensured each person was well taken care of throughout the entire process!I would 100% recommend Maggie and Destinationweddings.com!! They truly were the best! 

We had such a great experience with your company! Chris Scholander helped us find our venue, and she was AMAZING—so helpful and personable. We also had a great relationship with our travel agent, Rene Wills. All of our family and friends who used her services had nothing but great things to say about Rene. She is still helping us with things even after the wedding. She was patient and super quick to reply to all of our millions of questions. Another amazing employee that you have working for you! Both ladies were extremely organized and on top of everything. I have already recommended this company on The Knot and Trustpilot and mentioned it to my friends—some have begun to use your company as well.

I am at a loss for words about how perfect planning my wedding was. I can say that because a big part of it was done with the help of Debbie Johnson with Destination Weddings. Thanks to her, my guests were able to seamlessly book their rooms at one of the most beautiful resorts they have ever seen. Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun was the perfect venue for our guests and wedding, and I am so happy Debbie was able to help us find our ideal wedding venue.
 

"Last Friday was amazing. We had a blast at our wedding! The team was so great. Lina was amazing to work with as well. We are so grateful to have her and will recommend her in the future."
 

 

My husband and I got married at The Finest, Punta Cana on April 26th, 2024. We used Destination Weddings to coordinate our wedding and had 100 guests who came to celebrate with us! It was the most amazing day, thanks to Rene Wills, who coordinated with our guests and was our voice to the resort in times of frustration. Rene coordinated travel, transportation, and communication to the resort. Rene is professional, responsive, and truly goes the extra mile for her clients. My husband and I even missed our flight to the DR, and Rene helped us get another flight booked IMMEDIATELY! She reassured us that everything would be okay and even contacted the resort for us. I'm so thankful that Rene worked so hard to ensure that we had the best time. It was a true honor to work with Rene and I would recommend Destination Weddings and Rene to anyone that would listen.

"We had the pleasure of working with Janet Drinkwater. We can't imagine anyone better to help us through this process from start to finish. Our wedding would not have been everything that it was without her guiding us. She helped us find a resort that fit our needs best, assisted with filling out wedding documents, provided advice on multiple wedding day decisions, acted as a liaison between us and the resort, and helped our guests with all of their accommodations. Saying we are grateful for Janet and Destination Weddings would be an understatement. We are so happy we chose a destination wedding for our celebration."

"My now-husband and I had our destination wedding planned with DestinationWeddings.com. We had the privilege of working with Nancy Litwiller throughout the planning process. She was very attentive to our needs and wants. We chose to have our wedding at Sandos Playacar in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, based on pricing. Nancy looked up quite a few resorts' pricing for us so we could make informed decisions. The planning process went a lot smoother than I expected. The transition from Nancy to the wedding coordinator at the resort was seamless. Planning with the coordinator at the resort was very simple; we were sent a few Word documents to go through and select from a "menu" of decor, food, etc. We then just added everything to the master Excel file, and our coordinator took care of the rest. We brought some decorations in order to save on some expenses, but decided to pay for others that we really wanted. We met with our coordinator a few days before the wedding to go over everything, and then on the day of the wedding, it all happened as planned. This exceeded our expectations in every way possible. I would recommend a destination wedding to anyone if they are looking for a simple planning process, as well as a more cost-effective wedding. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out."

"Marlene Johnson was amazing and helpful in planning our wedding on such short notice! She was attentive and on top of making sure we had everything taken care of. We will definitely reach out for our future travel plans as well."

"My now-husband and I reached out to Lina a little over two years ago with no experience in destination weddings. She was responsive, attentive, kind, and easy-going throughout the whole process. She worked with over fifty guests and was able to book rooms, respond to emails, and coordinate transportation for them with ease. She always responded in a timely manner. Lina helped us coordinate a visit to the resort before our wedding date as well. I couldn't have planned this wedding without her. She truly guided me every step of the way. She's amazing!"

We had the MOST amazing time at the Secrets resort in Cap Cana for our wedding in late July 2023. Our specialist was Maggie, and she was just great! Always extremely timely in response time, as well as advocating for us to get perks from the resort. We loved our experience! I will say that I was nervous with what felt like a lot of unknowns from not visiting the resort ahead of time, but all of the thorough information Maggie provided really did help subside those nerves! The resort's staff was so friendly and welcoming that you really felt like it was a second home. The photographer really made us feel comfortable as well!

"We couldn't be more thrilled to have gotten married at Dreams Natura this past January. Upon arrival, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We had about 100 people in our group, and each one was welcomed to the hotel efficiently with a welcome drink and hot towel; it set the tone for what was to come! The resort is beautiful, and the food is excellent. There was enough beach for everyone to have their own space. The resort did a fantastic job separating the adult-only and family-friendly sides without feeling like a stark contrast. This was important to us as we had children at our wedding and some adults looking forward to their childless vacation. The way the hotel was laid out worked perfectly for blending this. We worked with Fernanda to coordinate our wedding. She was absolutely incredible! We filled out a few documents beforehand about the "vibes" we were looking for in our wedding and other important details. A few days before the wedding, we sat with her and finalized all the details, from chairs to plates to flowers to the order of events and where to place party favors. She had a lot of helpful suggestions regarding the timing of events and the flow of the day. During our meeting, she also introduced us to the photography team, who were also excellent! Fernanda walked us through everything, even how she would pick each of us up from our getting-ready areas down to the minute of walking down the aisle. On the wedding day, she ran everything with extreme professionalism, helped calm nerves, and stayed with our group until the night's end to ensure everything was perfect. We never once had to worry about a thing as she was in the background coordinating everything. Fernanda and the entire staff at Dreams were all incredible vendors to work with and could provide a master class in service. Although we already reviewed our travel coordinator, TJ Dana, we want to say thank you again for recommending such a spectacular resort and helping us plan our wedding and getting all our guests down to Mexico!"

 
     
If you are looking for a fun-filled, family-friendly, non-stop dance Caribbean getaway, look no further! Coconut Bay Resort has it all: amazing staff, delicious food, and a gorgeous wedding venue. There are a number of different pools and a hidden beach spot a little down the way. It's only 5 minutes from the airport, and you are greeted with love from the minute you arrive! Sarahi helped us plan our perfect day from home to make everything easy once we arrived. Kaisha is the best wedding coordinator and took great care of us all week while we were on the resort! Our photographer, Kendall, was amazing. The DJ was awesome! And pro tip: get the fire dancers! It's beyond worth it.

"My husband & I got married on January 28, 2023 at the Riu Palace Costa Mujeres, Mexico. Michelle Haluschak was recommended to us by a friend to help plan our Destination Wedding. From the beginning, she was very thorough in our initial phone consultation & truly understood what we were looking for when it came to our wedding. In no time at all, she had a list of resorts we might like. She helped book all of our guests (40ish) & communicated on my behalf with the resort & wedding coordinator to reserve our package, communicate other details & arrange payment. It felt amazing to not have to stress these details! Fast forward to our trip, the resort itself was immaculate! The food was amazing, drinks were flowing & there was something for everyone. Beyond our wedding day, we cared most about the satisfaction of our guests, so we were absolutely ecstatic to find out our guests LOVED the resort just as much as we did! Now the best part: Our Wedding Day!! It was absolute PERFECTION! Beyond anything I could've imagined. Everything from start to finish was a literal dream come true!! To sum it up, I would recommend Michelle and this resort to anyone in search of a stress free wedding planning process because it was a simple, yet beautiful wedding. Thank you for helping make our dreams come true!!"

"I chose to use DWT after doing much research and reading reviews of fellow brides who had reported a great experience. Sally Martinez is simply the best! She is communicative, punctual, and she truly gets the job done. Sally took over my contract in June (two months prior to the wedding), and she quickly and efficiently resolved any issues that were previously not dealt with. I truly believe that because of Sally, my experience at the Hard Rock was seamless. Even while at the resort, she was answering emails quickly! We had a large group for a destination wedding, with 90 guests. This was not a challenge for Sally; she communicated and assisted several guests who had issues due to computer literacy, despite the easy navigation of your personalized wedding page! She also helped resolve other problems, such as travel issues due to hurricane season weather, which resulted in flight changes and cancellations. Her patience is unremarkable! All the guests reported positive feedback about Sally and many commented on how helpful she was. Additionally, she walks you step-by-step about the promotions you receive through using DWT and also communicates with my on-site coordination about these perks! We saved up to 4K through DWT! Any bride would be LUCKY to have Sally. I hope my experience helps future brides to partner with DWT! Sally is a blessing."
 

"We had such an amazing experience working with Lina Contreras! When we reached out to Destination Weddings and got in touch with Lina to start planning our wedding, we had no idea what we were getting into. We had never traveled to any of these destinations and Lina so patiently and thoroughly explained all of our options for locations. Together, we chose Secrets Playa Mujeres Cancun. I cannot explain enough how amazing and perfect this resort ended up being for us. All of our guests raved about it. The wedding was flawless and we were ecstatic with this resort choice!Working with Lina throughout all of the travel arrangements with our guests was incredible. The fact that she could be so patient and kind dealing with organizing travel with 50 people still amazes me. She was responsive and worked miracles to make this all happen for us. I am so incredibly grateful for all of her hard work! Weddings are the most important and happiest time in anyone's life and I can honestly say I owe the entire experience to Lina. She was the glue to put it all together and I could not have had the most perfect wedding without her!"
 

"We had the pleasure of working with Marlene Johnson on our all-inclusive wedding plans in Negril, Jamaica.  After an introductory meeting to assess what we were looking to accomplish, Marlene was "on it" from day one.  She was extremely helpful; being from Jamaica definitely helped us in our decision making about accommodations, etc.  Marlene provided a few resorts to review, addressed any concerns we had, worked with those traveling with us and arranged for our smooth process into and out of the Caribbean.  Further, she helped guide me on our wedding, suggested what questions to ask of the coordinator/planner, etc.  She knew about the properties we considered and that proved helpful!  We are grateful for all of the help and would definitely recommend Destination Weddings and Marlene Johnson!  Looking forward to working with her again for other trips."

"Thank you to Tracy Espina for being part of our wedding process and making things so easy for us. Tracy answered all of our questions within 24 hrs and got back to our guests so fast. She always went above and beyond and is just the sweetest person. We were so blessed to have gotten her as our agent and will continue to recommend the Destination Weddings website to all of our friends. Tracy is the best and guided us with such ease and I highly recommend her to help you if you are deciding to have a destination event, you can thank us later."

"My husband & I are so happy with the outcome of our beautiful destination wedding.  We owe all our gratitude to Maggie Elles. The attention, care and guidance through the process of fulfilling our dreamy wedding in Cancun, Mexico was relieving and wonderful.  It is because of this site, we were able to give our family and friends a stress-free and organized booking. I hope future brides see the value in trusting this site to guide and excite them for the big day, as it did for me!"

"My wedding was beautiful and the responsiveness of my wedding planner made it a breeze. Maggie facilitated communication in such a way that the day of my wedding was truly a day for celebration."

"Natalie and her assistant Stephanie were wonderful at getting me information quickly, helping me plan my wedding, helping my guests book their rooms and helping with any questions I had.  They ensured everything was taken care of and went above and beyond with requests I had.  They truly made it less stressful to plan a destination wedding!"

"Our Specialist helped us choose a great resort and everyone worked diligently to ensure that our special day went smoothly. Overall, it was a beautiful day and we couldn't have asked for more!"

"From the first day we met Sue, she was extremely attentive, caring, and kind. Anytime our guests had questions or needed clarification, Sue was responsive and helpful. It really felt like she was taking care of our family and friends as if they were her own. When we arrived in Mexico, everything went off without a hitch. Sue truly went above and beyond and we are so grateful to have been able to work with her as our Specialist."

"Maggie was absolutely fantastic. She was very helpful and timely! Never had to wait to have questions answered and she made my entire wedding planning effortless. I'm very thankful we used her. 100% recommend to do a destination wedding! You won't regret it!"

"Donna made our planning so easy, I would totally recommend using DestinationWeddings.com! We felt safe and all our questions and emails were answered quickly. We are sad it's over, but we have made lifetime memories in our hearts thanks to you. Thank you again!"

"Our experience was amazing! From the moment I reached out to the day of the wedding, it was smooth sailing! I would recommend a destination wedding to anyone getting married because it was so easy to plan and came with memories that will last a lifetime!"

"Working with Destination Weddings was one of the best decisions we ever made. Having Carolina and the company handle all of the beginning communications with the hotel was a huge stress relief. From start to finish I had the best experience. Everyone was very responsive with any questions I had as well as my guests. I truly wouldn't have been able to do it without them and would recommend Destination Weddings to anyone. Thank you!"

"Maggie was wonderful from start to finish. She was patient, informative, had the answers to ALL my questions and all my guests were very happy with her coordination of their travel plans. DestinationWeddings.com truly listened and followed our direction to make our wedding surpass our wildest dreams! We are forever grateful!!"

"Goga was always very friendly and quick to respond. She helped our friends and family book their flight/room and was able to find really good pricing. This, in our opinion, was the most stressful part and we are so grateful that we had Goga there to take this over. Our stay at the resort was amazing and our wedding was an absolute dream! Thank you Goga for making our experience so wonderful!"
