Are you planning a destination wedding? Do you have kids that will be joining you? Perhaps your own or those of friends and family members? These resorts will be sure to please both your adult and mini guests, and provide a jaw dropping wedding as the icing on the cake! Here's to checking off allll those boxes 🥂
Picking a destination for your wedding is a big commitment — after all, it’s a milestone you, your family and your friends will remember forever.
Did you first say I love you at Walt Disney World? Then maybe an intimate wedding at the happiest place on earth is in order. Maybe you’re both avid foodies. Then a cruise to Italy or Napa is the best way to start your life together. Did your proposal happen on your first tropical vacation somewhere? A destination wedding in Hawaii or the Caribbean may just be the thing.
If you’re at a loss, your relationship milestones are the first place we’ll start when picking a destination that’s a true reflection of you two! My only question is, are you ready to start planning?
Happy Friday! I closed today off with a call from the director of a wedding planning company that oversees weddings for two of my preferred suppliers.
I gained a ton of valuable information to help my couples understand the process of planning a cruise wedding. From what options are currently available for weddings both at sea and at port, why venues are not confirmed until 2 weeks prior to sailing, and I even learnt that almost anything is possible for your wedding day onboard...if you want to pay for it!
It's easy to be productive on a Friday when your chatting with friendly people and building new relationships.
Once I wrap up my day I'll be baking some cookies with my boys, and looking forward to relaxing when they go to sleep with a glass of wine and some Heartbreak Island 😂 seriously we have discovered that bad reality dating shows are super entertaining!

Are you having a cruise wedding? Be sure to share this with your guests if any of them are first time cruisers! Are you making these first time cruise mistakes?!? I’ve made one or two when I first started cruising, but good news for you…I’m here to help so you don’t make the same mistakes!! 1.) Not flying in the night before. Flights get delayed it’s out of our control. Ensure you fly (or drive) in the day before so you don’t miss your cruise due to flight delays. Plus you get to start your vacay a day early. 🥳2.) Not booking your pre cruise hotel in advance. You will get the best deals if you book further out. Often you can find hotels that offer shuttles to and from the airport and cruise ports.3.) Not packing a swimsuit in your carry on. When you cruise you leave your luggage with the porters when you board the ship and it’s not often delivered until the evening. Ensure you pack your swimsuit, flip flops, medication and anything you may need the first day before your luggage arrives.4.) Not getting the drink package. This one depends on your family. If you think you are going to have more than 6+ drinks a day (including specialty coffee) than the drink package could save you some money.5.) Forgetting to put your phone on airplane mode. I have done this 🤦♀️the bill was not pretty, and the worst part is I didn’t even use my phone! I had it in my bag and had data turned off so assumed I was good. Nope put it on airplane mode you don’t want those fees. ✈️ Do you have any questions about cruising for the first time?

Why should Bermuda be at the top of your list for a destination wedding? 1.) Pink sand beaches 2.) Beautiful architecture for photo backdrops3.) Most cruise itineraries for Bermuda have more than 1 day at port so you don’t have to worry about rushing back on the ship after your wedding and still get to enjoy the island before/after your wedding day. 4.) Great option for summer weddings - Bermudas peak season is April - October and hurricanes are a lot less likely in Bermuda 5.) Easy cruise port access out of New Jersey/NewYork, Boston and Baltimore means it’s an easy option to get to if you live nearby or a cheaper and shorter flight for many 6.) It’s Beautiful! There is a casual elegance when it comes to Bermuda; a bit vintage, with Caribbean and British flair 7.) Cruising to Bermuda is affordable and you can often find a cruise around $1000pp which your guests will appreciate!

So you may be thinking why should I use a Destination Wedding Travel Specialist to book my cruise wedding when I can just do it on my own. I’m so glad you asked; 1.) I have developed relationships with my supplier partners and their wedding planners. This means I have contacts. You don’t need to call into a general line and wait for someone to call you back. I’ll be your point of contact to secure your dates, and then pass you off to the wedding planner myself. This also means if there are any issues that arise along the way I have people to turn to for help.2.) I’ll save you time. It takes a lot of time to plan a wedding, especially a destination wedding. There are many moving parts; from choosing the right ship and venue to understanding legal requirements and managing your guests. You don’t need to take your time (and sanity!) to figuring it out all on your own. 3.) I have specialized knowledge. I only book cruise weddings (with some exceptions!) but this means that all of my training is focused on knowing the cruise lines, ships and itineraries. I try and devote at least one day a week to trainings, watching ship tours of ones I haven’t personally been on and spending my vacations on cruise ships so I can recommend the best ones for you.4.) I stay with you every step of the way. From helping find the best ship, itinerary and location to booking your wedding dates, making your group reservations, booking your travel for you and your guests, answering your guests many questions (so you don’t have to!) right up until you return home. My goal is to make sure you have an amazing time and your wedding is everything you want and more.This is arguably the most important day of your life, don’t try and wing it on your own. Working with a professional means a lot less stress and confusion for both you and your guests. If you want to lean more about me and the services I offer to my couples head to my website.

Have you been booking travel on your own, sure it’s easy enough to do but here some top reasons to use a Travel Agent instead and why you should make the switch: 1.) You’re getting expert advice - No more spending hours on Trip Advisor sifting through the hundreds of reviews trying to figure out which resort is best. I have completed trainings with many supplies and try to travel to as many resorts and destinations as I can to ensure you are getting the best possible resort for your needs. 2.) You’ll save time on planning: How much is your time worth? Especially when planning a wedding! You have better things to do than scouring google looking for advise, deals and tips and tricks. I’ve got you covered!3.) You get vetted travel information: Going back to those trainings, I take a lot of them so I know the products I’m selling. If your looking for something that is a bit less familiar to me I have other agents to reach out to for recommendations, either way you are getting your advice from a professional and not google (no offence google 😉) 4.) You don’t have to figure it out on your own: I’m your one stop question resource. I’ll help with the research, planning and booking so all you have to do is countdown and pack!5.) You get access to my travel connections and perks: There are some suppliers that give agents special perks for their clients like discounts, upgrades, and gifts for booking through an agent. While these are not guaranteed it never hurts to ask! I’ll do my best to get you the best vacation in your budget! Ready to book that next vacation?
