My Job as a Destination Wedding Planner

Through the years I've planned many Destination Weddings and Honeymoons.
I'm a Travel Consultant/Destination Wedding Planner/Honeymoon Specialist.
To some, I've become a confidant and very good friend.
Couples can find me on the Internet, but most of the time it's from a referral.
At this time, the initial contact is by email or phone.  If the couple is local, we usually set up a meeting to discuss exactly what type of travel arrangements they're looking for, and their general expectations.


 Don't get me wrong, I deal with many couples who don't live in the same city and we make all their plans over the phone and by email.
After our first meeting I take all the information I've received from my clients and do my best to come up with ideas that best suit their travel needs.  After so many years I get a good feel for what the couple expects and start the process of making their vision a reality.
Because I've been in the same industry for so long, I'm very fortunate to have excellent contacts.  Being Virtuoso Accredited is also a huge bonus for all my clients.


Once the couple has decided where and when they'd like to travel, I go ahead and start inquiring as to the rates and availability.  For Destination Weddings, rates can take up to five working days.
Now that a destination and hotel has been selected, reservations are confirmed.  Guests for Destination Weddings will receive an email from me with all my contact information and their rates.  They are given a deadline to submit a deposit, usually no more than $250.00 per person in order to secure a room and their rates.  Final payment is due 60 days prior to departure.
At this point, the wedding couple decides whether or not they'd like me to plan their actual Destination Wedding.  For this service, their is a slight charge to cover my time and long distance charges. 
I've arranged for two people barefoot on the beach as well as 300 in a lavish tent with all the trimmings. 
My schedule is fairly flexible and I usually meet with couples in the evening or on week ends, whichever they prefer.


Pinterest, Facebook and social media in general has made it very easy for me to share my ideas.
From inception to execution, I'm here for my clients and their guests.
For more ideas, please follow me on Facebook - YOUR DESTINATION WEDDING AND LUXURY HONEYMOON and on Pinterest as well.
Hope to see you there,
