Expressing our gratitude for Sandy's exceptional support and expertise feels like just scratching the surface of our experience with Destination Weddings. From November 2022 to March 28, 2024, Sandy has been an absolute delight to work with. Her patience, professionalism, and profound understanding of resorts and destinations went above and beyond our expectations. Sandy's honesty and flexibility, particularly in accommodating our budget while still realizing our dream wedding, were remarkable. It's evident that she genuinely cares about her clients, recognizing the significance of such a momentous occasion in their lives. Upon our arrival in Cancun, Sandy's meticulous planning ensured seamless transportation arrangements. Even during the weekend, she continued to go above and beyond, addressing any last-minute needs that arose for both myself and my guests. As any bride knows, even minor issues can feel monumental during this time, but Sandy's ability to not only meet the needs of the bride and groom but also ensure the satisfaction of all our guests truly sets her apart. Sandy unquestionably deserves the title of MVP lbs, and we're immensely grateful for her integral role in making our wedding unforgettable !!!! -The ELLISES 03/25/2024

Melissa was excellent!! She was very thoughtful and personal when crafting options for us, being cognizant of ideal budget and location. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to explore venue and experience options

Melissa was supportive and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. We originally had dates lined up with one resort but that resort last minute fell through on signing the contract and Melissa worked quickly to get us another resort and date that worked for us. Thank you Melissa!

We have worked with Amy Boyce on several trips in the past, including 2upcoming vacations, she is knowledgeable, helpful, and very patient with my many, many questions. She communicates well and gets back to me immediately. I have referred her to many friends and will continue to do so. John Rogers

We decided to do a destination wedding at the Finest Playa Mujeres- while the resort itself is beautiful they were difficult to communicate with. I really appreciated Carol's tenacity and work in dealing with the resort so I didn't have to. All our guests got there smoothly and loved their stay.

On sept of 2022, I received an email from Destination weddings regarding booking a room for my friend Sam and Malysas wedding. Oct 2022, I had emailed Karen Vanwesten to let her know that we needed a room for my family of 5, and the the bride had mentioned the rooms were almost sold out. Karen asked for our names and DOB. I had asked her what our options were to stay together in one room. October 21, 2022: Karen emailed me stating she would check if we can all be in one room together. Then SHE put the room request for me, which I thought she did correctly When we checked in on Feb 21, 2024- we had TWO junior suites- the photo and reservation said ONE. I never chose the room or saw the options to do so... My friends and brother paid less than half!! She scammed me, never was clear on what type of room we had and the reservation and photo she sent was ONE ROOM, ONE JUNIOR SUITE and we had TWO! I even had asked her for the room details and she never responded. After traveling and resting on the day of arrival, I had emailed Karen the next day because the hotel said they couldn't release our other room, she had to I emailed her on Feb 22, 2024 expressing our concern for having double the space we were originally booked for and my kids having a separate bedroom in a foreign country. It was never explicit or offered for me an option to make the best choice regarding our room selection- we had family there that we could have added my 3rd child to She wrote back the picture of the room and said she couldn't do anything (again that picture is ONE ROOM, we had TWO) She said I ""requested" such, as I did not, she chose it for us She scammed us out of a lot of money I could have saved We paid double what our friends were paying and the hotel doesn't charge per person as she did, its per room Booking through a wedding agency is supposed to be a deal and help you- we got scammed, lied to and overcharged by thousands of dollars The manager also was zero help!!!! All screen shots attached Ripped Off by company- without clear guidance or package details. Then a couple days ago I also got a replay stating that the "reservation clearly stated connecting rooms" which is a complete lie. It is sad that you put trust into a company to do the right thing as you are attending a wedding out of the country and it is supposed to be a happy time, but they do not care. Upon reading other reviews, it is clear that MANY people have had so many issues with this company, I am unsure why theknot.com is recommending them. I want to write this so hopefully others do not end up in the same position because they are disloyal and devious. YOUR REPLY Reply from DestinationWeddings (3/13/2024) An hour ago Hi Alysia, we regret to hear about the confusion surrounding your room. Unfortunately the chosen resort has a max occupancy of 4 per room and the only option for 5 people is the two-bedroom suite. We apologize if this was not explained thoroughly and will be speaking with Karen to rectify this for future communication. Please continue to speak with our Customer Relations Team to ensure all of your questions are addressed and answered. Thank you for your understanding. To reply to this....... That is not an excuse.... and your "speaking to her" to prevent future events doesnt help my losing thousands of dollars ONCE AGAIN WE HAD TWO ROOMS THAT WERE NOT CHOSEN BY US!!!!! How is this not getting through.... I do not understand. ALSO I would NEVER, EVER book a family and tell them its ONE junior suite and you get there and you actually have TWO OF THOSE!!! Your "max capacity" defense is also ridiculous. You need to tell persons booking what their options are for a family of 5 to have the best experience and to not overspend and be overcharged..... the clarity just isnt there.... and it was asked for. THE PHOTO SHOWS ONE JUNIOR SUITE AND WE HAVE TWO OF THEM I guess I need to say it 8000 times until it actually processes. I could have taken two of the rooms my friends had booked and it would accommodate my family AND also have saved me money... all your company and her cares about is overcharging people and making money .... and you still cannot address the basic principles of this complaint

Mindi Phillips was so great in helping us with our destination wedding. I highly recommend destination weddings and Mindi herself to help out with planning your destination wedding. She made have a wedding so much easier, she helped manage family, our resort stay, and planning out every step of our wedding the stay while we were there. All things which can be over whelming to think about when planning. 5 stars for Mindi and the Azul beach team.
