Kind Words from Happy Couples
“Barbara was amazing! She was an integral part of my destination wedding! Truly, I couldn't have done it without her patience and expertise, especially since we started working together during the pandemic. It was scary but she helped ease my worries. She got straight to work and helped confirm a room block in Maui for my guests. She made sure all of my guests had everything they needed, from hotel accommodations to shuttle service. She communicated with me on a frequent basis. She was able to move swiftly when there were changes and late guest add-ons. She was able to secure my fiance and I a wonderful 2-bedroom cottage, where we were able to host a Welcome Reception for our guests and then a 1-bedroom villa for our honeymoon suite. I cannot express how grateful I am for Barbara.”

“Barbara was wonderful! We honestly could not have made this gorgeous wedding happen without her help. I highly recommend to anyone planning a destination wedding to get a travel agent on Board and I highly recommend this fabulous lady for the job. I could always reach her by email, phone, or text. And she was on top of any deadlines we needed to reach and helped our guests with the entire booking process. Thank goodness my husband and I did not need to handle this part of our wedding since we had so many other things that needed to be done on our end. She's a life savor! Professional, Positive, and gets the job done! Thank you Barbara for everything! You helped our dream wedding become a reality!!”

How soon in advance should I start planning my destination wedding?
The sooner, the better! 12-18 months out, if possible. This allows us to get the best pricing and secure the particular season/date/day of the week you want—some resorts only host one destination wedding per day, so scheduling this far in advance is often necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQS
Do you only plan all-inclusive resort destination weddings?
Nope! Many couples love to host their weddings at all-inclusive resorts because of their ease, but I will work to bring your particular vision to life. That may be an intimate, boutique resort in the South Pacific, a villa in the Tuscan countryside—wherever you desire.
Do you plan elopements?
Yes, absolutely. If you’re thinking about an intimate elopement with just the two of you, or a small wedding with only a few loved ones, definitely get in touch so I can make it extra memorable for you.
