Destination Weddings of your dreams...
Say "I do" in Paradise!
We know you’ve dreamed of this day for a long time. Few things in life are as important as this day and few options are as romantic as your Destination Weddings. When properly planned, Destination Weddings can actually save you a lot of money… but most Brides and Grooms don’t know where to start. That’s where I come in. I will not only help you find the perfect destination; I will make your destination wedding easy and affordable for friends and family too!
Let Me make Your Special day easier!
I not only arrange your entire wedding party to arrive at the destination from their home airport, but I also will help you decide on the resort and location, which is my specialty! Depending on the amount of guests and rooms, the bride and grooms room can be free! Caribbean destination weddings are more afforadable than staying stateside and the pictures you will be left with are breath taking. I never charge you any fees (which is rare) and I have the best contacts at most resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean to make sure your special day goes off perfectly.
Symbolic Wedding Ceremonies...
You don't have to live in Texas for me to plan your destination weddings, my clients are all over the United States! I can also offer you a free website and a gift registry! Let me tell you more about it when we have our 1st conversation. Many wedding couples choose to be legally married in the United States, preceded or followed by a symbolic wedding ceremony in resort with family and friends. Symbolic weddings are less costly, and a great choice for busy couples that prefer to bypass gathering and completing the documentation required for a legally-binding ceremony in a foreign country.
