What You're Not Dealing With
Most couples don't hear about the attrition clause until they owe the resort for rooms that never got booked.
That's one line in a room-block contract. We read it, and every clause after it, before you sign anything.
Then there's everything else nobody warns you about: room-block deadlines, guests booking outside the block and blowing your minimums, transfers, passport questions, the constant stream of texts asking what to pack.
Choosing experienced destination wedding travel agents matters because your room block, guest travel, resort contract, and wedding logistics all have to work together.
Somebody manages all of that. That's our job, every time.
“Shanna secured a 20-room block for our guests, obtained the hotel contract, and walked me through all of the wording and what I was signing. I felt safe knowing she was looking out for my and my guests' best interests.”

In Their Words
“They were absolutely incredible. We had so many questions about the process, and they answered every single one with so much knowledge and experience. They helped us plan all of our travel, events of the week, day-of timeline, and so much more. Shanna was on-site the day of our wedding and was an immense help in making sure everything ran smoothly — and keeping my nerves at bay.”

Real answers with real numbers, the way we'd tell a friend at dinner.
Read all FAQsA destination wedding turns your ceremony into a shared vacation: guest costs are usually predictable through all-inclusive rates, the venue, catering and lodging are bundled at one resort, and the celebration stretches across several days instead of a single reception. Some couples spend less than they would on a comparable hometown wedding, although total costs vary significantly by destination, guest count, resort, season, and event design.
There are two separate costs to think about. The wedding itself, ceremony, reception, décor, photography, typically runs $8,000–$25,000 for 30–60 guests, though it varies by destination (Costa Rica and boutique properties tend to run higher; Punta Cana and Jamaica tend to run lower). That's separate from our fee for helping you plan it: our flat-rate planning fees start at $800, and we never take a percentage of your wedding budget. Guest travel is a third, separate cost, each guest pays for their own.
It may be the right fit if you value a shared travel experience and are comfortable with some invited guests being unable to attend. While many destination weddings include 20 to 80 guests, larger celebrations are possible at carefully selected resorts with sufficient event and lodging capacity. The right fit depends on the destination, resort, guest travel needs, budget, and event-size requirements.
Book 9–12 months out, choose an all-inclusive resort in a value destination like Punta Cana or Jamaica, lock group rates early, and share a clear per-person estimate the moment you send save-the-dates. A contracted room block may provide group pricing, flexible terms, and valuable concessions, although savings vary by resort, travel dates, room category, and contract terms.
Match the destination to your guest list and vibe: Mexico for the widest resort selection and easiest flights from most of the US, Costa Rica for adventure-plus-luxury and jungle-beach ceremonies, Punta Cana for iconic long beaches at the best value, and Jamaica for the pioneer all-inclusive experience and top price-to-luxury ratios.
