What Inspires You?


Start your planning journey by gathering inspiration. Is it a romantic scene from a movie, breathtaking images in a magazine, a friend's stunning wedding in Mexico, a cherished family vacation, or your Pinterest board? Compile a list with photos and share it with your travel advisor to kickstart the creative process.


Meet with a Destination Wedding Specialist


With your inspiration list in tow, meet with a destination wedding specialist. These experts are your key to turning dreams into reality and will work closely with you to start planning a wedding experience you’ll cherish forever.

Set a Budget


Collaborate with your destination wedding specialist to set a realistic budget. Their insider connections with top resorts, cruise lines, and destinations will help maximize your budget, ensuring a memorable celebration without financial stress.


Explore Resorts and Destinations


Imagine the possibilities—breathtaking sunsets on white sandy beaches or delving into ancient cultural history. Your specialist will guide you through popular spots like Mexico, the Caribbean, and Hawaii to find the perfect setting for your special day.


Think About Amenities


Discuss the type of experience you want for you and your guests. Whether it's adventure, culture, relaxation, luxury, or boutique experiences you’re after, your specialist can arrange group activities, such as private tours or cocktail gatherings at your chosen resort.


Confirm Your Plans


Collaborate with your advisor to finalize your wedding date and venue, and reserve enough rooms for your guest list. Secure your plans with a deposit to ensure everything runs smoothly.


Send Save the Dates


Once plans are confirmed, send out "Save the Date" cards to your guests. Include your Destination Wedding Specialist's contact information to facilitate guest bookings.

Create a Registry


Let your guests contribute to unforgettable experiences, such as a candlelight dinner on the beach or a spa day. Your specialist will help you create a personalized registry and website tailored to your celebration.


Start Packing


Begin preparing for the adventure ahead. Don’t forget essentials like passports, itineraries, and electronics. Carry your wedding attire on the plane; flight attendants can safely store it until you arrive at your destination.


Share Your Experience


Capture and share your favorite moments, from exchanging vows on the beach to the romantic sunset dinner that was part of your registry, on social media. Be sure to leave a glowing review for your Destination Wedding Specialist and recommend their expertise to friends.
