Destination Wedding Travel & Planning
Your Wedding Week, Handled Beautifully.
From choosing the right resort and negotiating your group room block to planning the celebration and being there in person, we help you create a destination wedding that feels effortless, for you and your guests.
Flat-rate services beginning at $800. Each price is the total service fee for that package, not an added fee. No percentage-based planning fees.
Every couple begins with expert group travel management. Just Travel includes resort selection, room-block negotiation, guest booking support, and travel management. Couples who want additional wedding-planning support can choose the Deluxe or Complete package instead.
The Real Value
You Enjoy the Wedding. We Manage What Surrounds It.
- The Resort
- We help select the right property, review the group contract, negotiate the room block, and protect you from choosing a resort that looks better online than it performs in person.
- Your Guests
- We create the booking experience, manage questions, track reservations, and keep every guest informed on deadlines and travel details.
- The Wedding
- For Deluxe and Complete clients, we provide design direction, vendor sourcing, wedding-week timelines, and contract support.
- The Wedding Week
- With Complete, Shanna is there in person for three nights and four days, checking setups, coordinating vendors, and assisting guests, with virtual support on the other days of the trip.
PLAN WITH BETTER NUMBERS
Explore What a Destination Wedding May Cost
Before choosing a resort or planning package, compare representative guest accommodations, airport transfers, and resort wedding costs across 16 recommended properties.
You’ll see guest and couple costs separately, along with what is included, what may cost extra, and where a more guest-conscious or more elevated option may fit.
The Cost Explorer provides educational starting examples. Shanna will confirm current group rates, wedding pricing, availability, and resort requirements before you make a decision.

Just Travel · Client Review
“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.”
Deluxe · Client Review
“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.”
Complete · Client Review
“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.”
Who This Is For
A flat-fee destination wedding service for couples who want their guests handled.
We're probably not a great fit if…
- You're planning a wedding at home, not a destination wedding.
- You're fine with your guests scattered across different hotels instead of one group block.
- You expect wedding-travel guidance to come at no cost. Cheaper comes with sacrifices. Ours starts at $800, flat, and it's backed by 300+ resorts toured in person.
- You want to call and get whoever answers first, in and out in five minutes. Our team works by appointment, so every call gets the full time it needs.
We're probably a great fit if…
- You want your guests actually handled: room block, payments, the questions, all of it.
- You want advice from someone who's stood in the resort, not read about it online.
- You want a flat fee you can see upfront, not a cut of your wedding budget.
- Destination weddings are the whole business here, room blocks, resorts, and everything guests need around them.

Historical examples, not quotes. Each wedding had a different year, guest count, inclusions and group benefits, so they aren't like-for-like. Our current service fees are separate from resort and wedding budgets.
From the Field
A Glimpse Behind the Planning
Your Planner & Travel Advisor
Experience You Can Actually Feel
Booking the right resort is only the beginning. Once your group is confirmed, I'm the person tracking contracts, guiding vendor decisions, and, for Complete clients, joining you in the destination for three nights and four days: checking setups before guests arrive, coordinating vendors in real time, and handling the small things so you never have to think about them.
My goal is simple: the wedding you planned is the wedding you actually get.

Pricing & Packages FAQs
How much does a destination wedding travel advisor cost?
Our core destination wedding travel-advisor service (Just Travel) is a flat $800, resort booking and group room block. If you'd also like wedding planning, choose Deluxe ($1,600 total) or Complete ($4,200 total). Each price is the total service fee for that package, not an additional fee on top of another package: Deluxe includes everything in Just Travel, and Complete includes everything in Deluxe. We do not charge percentages, commissions on your wedding budget, or per-guest fees. The resort pays us a standard travel commission on the rooms your guests book (built into the room rate, not added on top), and our flat fee is billed to you directly.
What's the difference between a destination wedding travel advisor and a destination wedding planner?
A destination-wedding travel advisor handles the destination and resort selection, contracted room block, resort contract review and negotiation, guest reservations, and travel logistics. A destination-wedding planner adds wedding design, outside-vendor sourcing, detailed event timelines, and, in our Complete package, three nights and four days of in-destination support with virtual support on the other days. Shanna is both: every couple books travel with us, and wedding planning is available through the Deluxe or Complete package options.
Do I need to book my group travel through you to get wedding planning?
Yes. Wedding planning (Deluxe and Complete) is only available to couples who book their destination wedding group travel through us as their travel advisor. We don't offer planning as a standalone service. This is how we keep pricing honest, the resort commission on your room block, combined with our flat planning fee, is how the numbers work.
Do I need the Complete package, or can I do it myself with Just Travel?
Just Travel, our core travel-advisor service, is genuinely enough for many couples, especially with no outside vendors and full confidence in the resort's in-house wedding coordinator. Choose Deluxe if you're bringing in outside photographers, custom design, or multiple wedding-week events. Choose Complete when you want Shanna in the destination for three nights and four days of in-person support, with virtual support on the other days, often when you have several separate events (welcome, rehearsal, ceremony, reception, farewell). Guest count alone doesn't decide it; fit depends on your resort's event capacity, accommodations, and travel logistics.
Are there any hidden fees beyond the flat rate?
No. The total service fee for the package you choose is what you pay us: $800, $1,600, or $4,200. These aren't added together. Third-party costs (resort wedding package, outside photographer, florals, welcome-bag contents) are billed to you at cost with the vendor's invoice attached, we never mark them up. Because our compensation is not tied to your wedding spend, our recommendations are never influenced by whether you choose a more expensive floral arrangement, photographer, entertainment upgrade, or reception design. The one exception: for the Complete package, Shanna's airfare and any helper expenses are included in the $4,200, but the couple separately covers Shanna's three hotel nights. Eligible complimentary nights earned through your room block may help cover that hotel cost, subject to resort terms; they are not guaranteed.
Not sure which tier fits your wedding?
Thirty-minute discovery call, we'll ask about guest count, vendors, and events, and tell you honestly which package is right (even if it's the smallest one).
