If I could give zero stars, I would. Not only have I had trouble from the beginning of planning my wedding since SEPTEMBER 2022 for a wedding in JULY 2023, I'm still having issues A WEEK BEFORE my wedding. It took forever to get a wedding coordinator from the resort, communication is severely lacking. The wedding coordinator, Veronica Foster, acts like she doesn't know how to do her job as well as Krista Winter. They sent the wrong payment amount with another couple's bank information, including their bank account number, the money THEY paid, and other information for the wrong people. They don't return phone calls, listen to their voicemails, or even bother to look up our account information before replying to their emails regarding our wedding. IT'S NOT THAT HARD, especially since it's been a total of almost 10 months of planning. Everything on our end, including payment, paperwork, documents, were completed and sent over months in advance to ensure these things wouldn't happen. It's officially less than a week before we are to be married and both the resort and destination weddings are still scrambling to get their sh** together!!!! They are still finding last minute things that needed to be done months ago but are just now sending over to us to be done and it's ridiculous. 10/10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

We used Destination Weddings for our wedding, and it was probably the easiest route for us. Kellie Davis was our travel agent, and she was very attentive and detail oriented. She listened to what our core wants/needs were and delivered us with multiple options in multiple price ranges to gave us options. We had the best time without the planning and stress of a wedding!!!

Our travel agent, Stephanie Parks was so accommodating, organized and amazing every step of the way for our destination wedding in Jamaica. We couldn’t have been more fortunate to have her as our guide for our trip. The outpouring joy from our family was also so important and she delivered! 150% would recommend her as your go to person!

A shorter list would be what went right. You were asked several times to have adjoining rooms with our daughter's family. We told you we required a crib. We got neither. We were actually put in separate buildings. We had paid for two suites. After an extremely long wait until late afternoon, we were given two tiny rooms. We had to put the crib in one bathroom and my husband, daughter, son in law and myself shared the other bathroom. Where were you Mindi? Where was the wedding planner? The bride cried the day of the wedding for all your mistakes

We booked our first international family vacation with Destination Travel and have had Julie Vaughn as our travel specialist, and we haven't heard from her despite trying to reach her by email, multiple text messages, and multiple calls. We had communication issue with Julie several months ago and expressed our concerns regarding her communication and asked what the best means of contacting her. It was our hope that things would have improved since then but they didn't. We made our final payment and received a new flight confirmation that showed we'd only have 40 minutes for a transfer to an international flight for 7 adults and 2 children. We have expressed concerns with the limited time for our flight transfer and our concerns have gone ignored. We've attempted to reach Customer Service to change our specialist and hopefully get a new flight, but the only option is to leave a voicemail on their main line and/or send an email. I've done both and we'll see if anyone actually gets back to us, but it hasn't been promising. The goal of using a travel coordinator was to make coordinating our travel as stress-free as possible and that has been the complete opposite of our experience. I know based on this experience I could not recommend Destination Wedding and would recommend using a different company to coordinate your travel plans.

Destination Weddings created a great experience. They have great communication and kept us informed at every stage form the initial reach out to the day of our travel. We had our flight changed three times on the day of departure and they were quick with updating our arrival for transport pickup each time.

Sue Allen was a great specialist to work with. Easy to communicate with, replies within a day but usually sooner, honest and upfront with pricing and arrangements.

We highly recommend using DestinationWeddings.com and TJ Dana to help plan and research your destination wedding. We worked with TJ Dana, who had an incredible knowledge of the Caribbean and Mexico resort market. She was able to help determine which resort would be a perfect fit for us, our guests, and our special day. She knew how family-friendly each resort was, the best food, and which ones had the best locations for our ceremony and reception. Once we decided on a resort, TJ was there every step of the way to ensure our 100+ guests were all booked in our short time frame - we decided on the resort in September and got married in early January. TJ worked with our US and European guests and confirmed rooms for everyone. Due to the short timeline we gave ourselves, TJ worked extensively on the contracting and room block process, so we felt comfortable with everything. She went above and beyond during crunch time to help us get deposits paid from our guests and even held almost daily update calls with us. Through all of this, her demeanor was pleasant, helpful, and reassuring. Not only did TJ help make this process easy, but booking through TJ and Destination Weddings saved us thousands due to the wedding package TJ could offer, and our guests also saved on their room rates over the listed rates on the internet.
