I am thoroughly pleased with Destination Weddings. My planner was DeAna Haywood. She molded our entire trip from beginning to end. If their was a problem, uncertainty, doubt, or any type of confusion, she was able to handle it and make us feel so much better. In DeAna, I truly feel like I have found another sister. I must admit, I was hesitant with the whole destination idea initially. This wonderful woman made it feel like she was right across town. My husband, family, friends, and I are blessed to have had her guidance and expertise. Deana, I pray more blessings into your life, career, and family. I whole heartedly thank you for EVEYTHING that you have done for us.

Thank you to Susie Dod for being the best! My fiancé and I got engaged September 2020 and just got married May 7, 2021 in beautiful Montego Bay, Jamaica at Secrets Wild Orchid Resort & Spa. Even during the pandemic our wedding planning was smooth and no worries with the safety and health guidelines. We felt safe due to the resort taking all precautions in keeping things sanitize, mask and free Covid testing. Susie is a great communicator and is very detailed. She made sure our guests was taken care of for their rooms and flights if needed. We are already planning for our next trip back to the same resort for our 1 year wedding anniversary. I highly recommend Susie Dod, she will make sure everything is stress free. Thanks again Susie for your amazing professionalism.

Still waiting on a refund from 2/3/21. I was told it would be 90 days bc of COVID delays. Not sure how processing an electronic refund has anything to do with COVID. Sure were quick to take our money, but can’t process a refund? Severe lack of communication. They stole hundreds of dollars from us. Do not use!

Sue was extremely helpful in all areas associated with wedding

Sue is amazing!! You should definitely use her for your destination wedding needs!!

Our experience was amazing. Our daughter was married at the Azul Beach Resort Maya Riviera by Karisma in a beautiful ceremony. The facilities were very nice, immaculately clean, with super nice and professional staff. Sue Allen made everything so easy for us — getting our daughter and guests to the event without complications despite a year delay because of COVID-19. Her professionalism and attention to detail exceeded every expectation — 5star effort for sure. Areas to improve all refer to the resort: 1. The beach front was inundated with hundreds of tons of smelly seaweed that made the ocean inaccessible and the beach unpleasant. 2. The resort recently opened up to greater capacity after a year of restrictions from COVID-19 and was experiencing delays in services, like room service. 3. Bottled water was in short supply. We were originally told we could only get six 500 ml bottles a day for a couple. By my estimate of hydration needs, that’s less than half of what is required. And for guests like us that don’t drink alcohol, it’s insulting to be buying water while other guests drank alcohol for free. With outlays of $10 tips we managed to get water delivered at a cost of about $30 dollars a day for eighteen 500 ml bottles. 4. Experienced travelers to Mexico, and Cancun in particular, know to drink bottled water without ice even if the resort has purified water systems in place. No bottled water is available in any of the restaurants or lounges. We had to carry water from our room to them. 5. I personally know 7 people had terrible diarrhea—and all we’re trying their best to keep it secret, so it’s likely even more in our party of 60 had it. I fully believe all guests should be advised to drink bottled water and no ice. Additionally, as beautiful as the green salads were, guests should be advised to only eat cooked vegetables. I’m a molecular biologists with a strong understanding of medical microbiology. Probably cyclospora in water and/or salads caused diarrhea, cramps, fever, and fatigue. 5. The wedding was simply amazing, but a hands-free microphone for the officiant must be addressed. Three would be better — to mic up others with speaking roles in the ceremony. 6. I can’t comment on excursions because diarrhea limited us to our room.

Sue Allen was our destination wedding coordinator and there is no one better. We had a “COVID” wedding and had to push a year but she made it feel so easy. As the bride, I did not stress at all because I knew Sue was always handling things behind the scenes.

I had the pleasure of working with Alison while planning my destination wedding, and she was nothing short of amazing. She was always available for questions and put up with me constantly changing my mind. I would recommend her, and this service to anyone
