The Call

What we'll cover together

Your destination shortlist

Which countries and resorts actually fit your guest list, your travel budget, and the look you have in mind.

A realistic budget range

What the wedding itself tends to cost, plus what a typical guest pays for flights, room, and transfers.

Your timeline

When to send save-the-dates, when to lock the room block, and when vendors need to be confirmed.

Guest logistics

How room blocks work, what attrition means for you, and how many people realistically show up.

Legal requirements

The basics of a civil marriage abroad versus a symbolic ceremony, and which one fits your plans.

Next steps

Whether Just Travel, Deluxe, or Complete fits how you want to plan, with zero pressure to decide on the call.

You don't need to have everything figured out

You don't need a destination picked, a guest list finalized, or a budget locked in before we talk. Most couples come to this call with more questions than answers, and that's exactly what it's for.

Both partners are welcome and encouraged to join. It's easier when you both hear the same information at the same time and can ask your own questions live.

What you'll leave with

You'll leave the call with one clear next step. For some couples that's moving forward with Shanna as their travel advisor and starting the real planning work.

For others it's a realistic sense of what their wedding would cost and how long it would take. There's no obligation to book anything on the call, and no pressure if it isn't the right fit.

Planning a wedding for the first time was intimidating — even more so trying to plan it in another country. Shanna walked us through everything with ease. Any question or concern we had, she had an answer or solution. She made sure our vision for our dream wedding came to fruition and went above and beyond for us and our guests.
