Our Destination
Wedding Planning
Process

Here’s how we take your destination wedding from “wait, how does this work?” to “okay, we’ve got this.”

Planning a destination wedding is exciting, but there are a lot of moving pieces behind the scenes, resort options, wedding dates, room blocks, guest questions, travel documents, deadlines, and the details most couples do not even know to ask about yet.

This is what working together looks like, from the first big decisions to the weeks after you return home.

You’ll know what I’m handling, where you’ll need to make decisions, and how we’ll keep everything moving so the experience feels a whole lot lighter.

Katie, destination wedding travel specialist

Your destination wedding journey

Built around your vision, your guests, and the experience you want to create.

Planning a destination wedding
Phase OnePlanning & decisions

Talking it through

We get the vision out of your head and into a plan, guest count, budget, and priorities.

After your inquiry and consultation, I’ll start narrowing down the destinations and resorts that actually make sense for you, not just the ones that look pretty online.

Setting the date

We weigh travel seasons, availability, and pricing so you can choose with confidence.

We’ll look at major holidays, pricing patterns, and the difference between weekday and weekend celebrations.

Building your room block

Where guests stay, how they book, and the group perks you may earn.

I’ll help you understand the options, review the details, and get your room block set up in a way that supports your wedding plans.

Your wedding website

One clear place for resort details, pricing, deadlines, and guest FAQs.

You’ll have the booking link, QR code, and clear details you need to include with your save-the-dates, invitations, texts, emails, or wedding website.

Bookings roll in

Guests reserve and pay deposits, I track it all, so you’re not chasing the cousin who books “next week.”

Your guests will fill out the reservation form, receive their quote, approve the details, and pay their deposit.

Dates & details

Deadlines and room release dates kept organized, with reminders before they sneak up.

I’m also keeping an eye on the guest travel details that are easy to miss, like travel dates, airports, room requests, transfers, and names matching travel documents.

Details take shape

As you work with the resort coordinator, I help you make sense of the emails.

I’ll help you understand what questions to ask, what may be worth adding, what you may be able to skip, and when something needs a little extra follow-up.

Someone in your corner

When something feels unclear, I help you figure out what actually matters.

You do not have to read every resort email and wonder, “Is this normal?” I’ll help you make sense of it.

Phase ThreeTravel & wrap-up

Pre-travel prep

Around 60 days out, guests get helpful emails, packing, transfers, passports, and tips.

The goal is simple: fewer last-minute questions, fewer confused guests, and a family group chat that feels a little less chaotic.

Travel support

My support doesn’t stop at the airport. If issues come up, I’m here to guide and advocate.

You should be focused on your wedding week, not trying to solve every travel hiccup on your own.

Post-wedding check-in

Once everyone’s home, I close out group details and, yes, want to see all the photos.

How was the resort? How did your guests feel? What was your favorite part of the week?

Your perks & credits

Any earned perks, credits, or complimentary nights are finalized after travel.

If you earned it, I want to make sure it gets back to you.

What you do not have to do:

  • Answer every question about room types.
  • Follow up with the cousin who said they would book “next week.”
  • Coordinate the friends who want to share a room but have not figured out who is paying for what.
  • Dig through texts, DMs, and group chats to figure out who has booked and who has not.

I’ll take it from here. You can breathe for a while

Once your room block and booking page are ready, your guests can start booking, and you do not have to be the one fielding every question.

No last-minute scrambling over here.

Destination weddings need a head start. Resorts limit how many weddings they host each day, room blocks can fill quickly, and pricing or perks may shift depending on when you book.

I’ll help keep an eye on the important dates and guide you through the timing, so you have stronger options, your guests have time to plan, and everything feels a whole lot less rushed.

Shorter timelines can sometimes work, but availability may be more limited.
