We had the pleasure of working with Karen for our destination wedding, and she was absolutely amazing! Managing a group of nearly 100 people could’ve been overwhelming, but Karen made everything seem effortless. She kept us all on schedule and ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish, all while maintaining a positive attitude and a smile. Her attention to detail was remarkable, and it was clear that she truly cares about her clients' experience. We were so impressed that we’ve already referred two other couples to her! If you're looking for a coordinator who can handle any challenge with grace and professionalism, we highly recommend Karen. We’d certainly love to work with her again (under different circumstances, of course! lol).

Melissa was so helpful in planning our honeymoon. We had lots of questions and we were very unsure on what we wanted. We changed our minds a few times. Melissa was so helpful. She sent us so many options and had all the answers to our questions. She knew this stuff and it made it so much easier. And she nailed it with our trip.

My experience with Destination Weddings was exceptional, and a huge part of that was thanks to my travel coordinator, Melinda Shelley. She made the entire process feel seamless and special, always staying in close communication every step of the way. I highly recommend Melinda for anyone seeking travel assistance and resort recommendations—she truly made my wedding experience unforgettable!

We couldn't be happier with the exceptional service we've received from Kellie Davis on **Destination Weddings and Dreams Las Marea’s Resort in Costa Rica. Kellie Davis has not only made our dreams come true, but she worked with our families and our guest’s day and night to make sure all of their travel is safe and making sure they had the most amazing experience. She was so kind and patient and helped us through every step of the way and Kellie was incredibly responsive, helpful, and answered every question we had. The best experience we had throughout our wedding.

I used Lily Carbone to help us with our destination wedding in Costa Mujeres, Mexico. I have nothing but good things to say about Lily. She was quick to respond. If I or any of my guests had any issues or any questions, she was always ready to help! She took so much of the stress of planning a wedding in a different county off of me and all of my guests loved her. I personally 100% recommend using Lily to assist you if you are planning a destination wedding!

TLDR: We DO NOT recommend Destination Weddings until there is better value, care, and experience for customers. We had a very negative experience with them. I had hoped that working with a travel agency would make things easier and help us save on costs, but it made our lives much more stressful, and it cost our guests more. Our first specialist Connie Leite was very unprofessional, not good at basic email communication, and misleading/careless. We had to fire her and were reassigned another specialist. - She failed to inform us of key details of the contract and was not familiar with this herself when we asked. - She gave our guests high quotes, without bothering to look at other options. - She gave extremely different quotes to two guests with the same requirements - She was rude to our guests when they asked for different quotes - Email communication was highly disorganized, did not include important details, and was very unclear. We asked her to use only one email thread but she did not follow this. Beyond Connie, other things that we were disappointed with: - Our guests found better deals on their own than what Destination Weddings offered. - We had guests who could not make it to our wedding last minute. They booked their hotel through Destination Wedding, and were told that they could not be refunded any amount. But resort staff said that if they booked directly with the resort, all nights would have been refunded except the first. - Our resort wedding coordinator (Dreams Flora - Eunice Pena) was very poor at email communication and provided us with minimal information during wedding planning. - We were not seated next to our group members on the plane like we were promised in our Sunwing package. - The wedding website was difficult to use and outdated. We were quite embarrassed to show this to our guests and opted to set up our own website on a different platform. - The Destination Weddings marketing website misled us by saying we could save thousands by working with them, only to find out much later in the process that this only applies to the US. The only value we got from Destination Weddings was the curation of resorts and some guidance around what to expect during wedding planning. But given the additional stress and the minimal to no cost savings (and in our guest's case, thousands of $ lost because they used Destination Weddings instead of directly booking through the resort), it was definitely not worth it. *We DO NOT recommend Destination Weddings until there is better value, care, and experience for customers.*

We have been working with Jennifer Corrigan for almost two years to make sure our dream wedding was just right. She not only made our dreams come true, but she worked with our families day and night to make sure all of their travel arrangements were solid and all of their questions were answered. I cannot recommend Destination Weddings and Jenn enough!!!!!!!! Everyone was SO professional and extremely knowledgeable about the entire process. I was skeptical at first because setting up a wedding in a place I have never been with someone I don't know does not sound very appealing... but I was so so wrong. If you are looking for the time of your life with someone who knows the ropes, go here (and go with Jenn).

Had the most amazing experience with Cathy Byrnes from Destination Weddings who helped us plan our destination wedding travel to Punta de Mita. Prior to our wedding, we had been a guest at a friends wedding and booked as a guest through Cathy. After that experience was so seamless, it was a no brainer to use her for our own wedding. We had a complicated group with several gateways, multiple airlines and a few unique scenarios. Cathy went way out of her way to assist us. Not only did she bend over backwards for us, she was prompt and available when it came to communication and was so KIND to us and our guests throughout the entire process. We can’t recommend her enough and have already referred some friends to her.
