Destination Wedding/Honeymoon Travel Agent Expert

In my 20 years as a Travel Advisor, many of those years specializing in Romance Travel and I absolutely love it! Regardless of if you're looking for a Destination Wedding or a Honeymoon, they are a one-of-a-kind vacation that we can customize together making it truly a unique one-of-a-kind experience. Each couple is truly unique, and I promise to listen to listen to your dreams and turn them into reality. There are many beautiful resorts that are both perfect for weddings or your honeymoon but, like everything else in the wedding industry you have to plan ahead. I’m here and ready to help get your plans in motions. Looking forward to it.


A destination wedding is a unique and exciting way to celebrate the union of two individuals in love. Unlike traditional weddings that are often held in the hometown of the couple, a destination wedding takes place in a location that holds special meaning for the bride and groom or simply offers a stunning backdrop for their nuptials. These weddings have become increasingly popular in recent years, offering couples the opportunity to create unforgettable memories for themselves and their guests.One of the most appealing aspects of a destination wedding is the chance to host an intimate gathering of close friends and family in a beautiful and exotic location. Whether it's a tropical beach, a historic European city, a rustic mountain lodge, or a serene countryside vineyard, the destination sets the stage for a unique and memorable experience.Here are some key elements that make destination weddings so special:Scenic Backdrops: Destination weddings are often chosen for their breathtaking natural beauty or historical charm. Couples can exchange vows against the backdrop of a pristine beach, a majestic mountain range, a centuries-old castle, or a lush garden. The setting itself becomes an integral part of the wedding decor.Intimate Guest List: Destination weddings tend to have smaller guest lists, making it easier for the couple to spend quality time with each attendee. This intimate atmosphere allows for more meaningful connections and shared experiences during the celebration.Extended Celebration: Many destination weddings extend beyond a single day, turning into multi-day affairs. This provides ample opportunities for pre-wedding activities, such as welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, and post-wedding brunches, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the destination's culture and ambiance.Unique Cultural Experiences: Destination weddings often incorporate local customs, traditions, and cuisine, giving guests a chance to immerse themselves in the culture of the chosen location. Whether it's a traditional Hawaiian luau, a Mediterranean feast, or a cultural dance performance, these experiences add a layer of authenticity to the celebration.Stress-Reducing Atmosphere: Contrary to the common belief that destination weddings are more stressful, many couples find them to be less demanding. Destination wedding packages offered by resorts and venues often include all-inclusive options, helping to streamline the planning process.Quality Time: Couples and their guests can enjoy quality time together, as everyone is typically staying in close proximity. This allows for shared adventures, relaxation by the pool, and other bonding experiences that might not be possible with a traditional wedding.However, it's important to note that destination weddings can also come with their own set of challenges, such as travel logistics, potential expenses for guests, and varying legal requirements depending on the location. Couples should carefully consider their guests' ability to travel and plan well in advance to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.In conclusion, a destination wedding offers a unique and memorable way for couples to celebrate their love in a stunning and meaningful setting. With careful planning and consideration, these weddings can create unforgettable moments that will be cherished by both the couple and their loved ones for years to come.

First time Traveling Alone
I have never traveled without family and my girlfriend and I worked with Daena to take a week long getaway to Mexico. We stayed in Punta Cana and the resort was amazing. But, more importantly Daena educated us on the safety of traveling as two young woman to a foreign country, She set up tours and a limo to pick us up at the airport. I have recommended her to others and I'm looking forward to booking another trip with her. She is the best.

Another great Disney Vacation
Daena is friendly, knowledgeable and great to work with. It is our second time working with her to plan our Disney vacation. She is very knowledgeable and presents options in a no pressure manner to meet your preferences and budget. She made some great suggestions for new things to try (restaurant venues and tours). Loved them all!!
