Why You Should Avoid DestinationWeddings.com — and Book With an Award-Winning Destination Wedding Travel Agent Instead

I said what I said.

Planning a destination wedding should be one of the most joyful experiences of your life. You’re choosing paradise, inviting your loved ones, and creating unforgettable memories. But too many couples fall into the trap of using big-box planning websites like DestinationWeddings.com or Destify — and end up stressed, disappointed, or locked into contracts that don’t serve them.

As an award-winning destination wedding travel agent, I’ve seen both sides. Here’s why you should skip the corporate booking sites and work with a true expert who will make your dream wedding seamless, stress-free, and spectacular.

1. Personalized Planning vs. Cookie-Cutter Packages

Big-Box Websites: Large companies push the resorts they’re contracted with, not necessarily the ones that best fit your vision. You’re often steered toward cookie-cutter options.

Award-Winning Agent: I recommend resorts based on your love story. Want an overwater chapel in St Lucia? A sunset beachfront wedding in Mexico? Or a private island ceremony in the Bahamas? I’ll guide you to the perfect fit.

2. Responsive Communication vs. Frustrating Silence

Big-Box Websites: Many couples complain that once they sign, communication slows down or stops altogether. Questions go unanswered. Stress builds.

Award-Winning Agent: My clients know I’m always available. From the first consultation to the wedding week itself, I keep you informed, answer your questions quickly, and make sure no detail slips through the cracks. I am here for you every step of the way.

3. Dedicated Expertise vs. Rolling the Dice on Who You Get

Big-Box Websites:: With DestinationWeddings.com, you’re simply assigned an agent — and there’s no way to know if they’ll be experienced, responsive, or a poor fit for your needs. With Destify, you often aren’t even working with certified travel agents — they rely on hourly employees, which means inconsistent service and no guarantee of true expertise. Your wedding is too important to gamble on who picks up your file.

Award-Winning Agent: When you work with me, you know exactly who you’re getting: an award-winning Destination Wedding Travel Agent, ranked highly by almost every Caribbean Tourist Board and All-Inclusive resort chain. I bring years of experience, resort knowledge, and hands-on guidance to every couple I serve.

4. Dedicated Advocacy vs. Getting Stuck in the Middle

Big-Box Websites:: When things go wrong, you may be caught between the website and the resort, with no one taking responsibility.

Award-Winning Agent: I step in and solve problems on your behalf. Whether it’s a resort issue, travel hiccup, or guest concern, you’ll have one point of contact: Me.

5. One-on-One Attention vs. Being Just Another Number

Big-Box Websites:: Their planners juggle dozens of couples at once. Your wedding is just another file in the system.

Award-Winning Agent: I take a limited number of weddings to provide the one-on-one attention you deserve. I’ll learn your style, your priorities, and your story — and create a wedding that reflects you.

6. Proven Success vs. Risky Unknowns

Big-Box Websites:: Reviews are mixed. Some couples are happy, others regret ever signing up. It’s a gamble.

Award-Winning Agent: M My reputation is built on consistently delivering unforgettable weddings across the Caribbean. And I've got the receipts to back it up. Check out the reviews left by some of our past couples.

The Bottom Line

Your destination wedding is too important to leave in the hands of a faceless website. With me, you get expertise, advocacy, and personal care from start to finish. I make the complex world of contracts, group travel, and resort logistics feel effortless — so you can focus on the fun parts: choosing your dress, dreaming about the beach, and celebrating with the people you love most.

I'm not just an expert

I'm also a real destination wedding bride.
