Planning a Destination Wedding? Make It Easy for Your Guests
One of the most thoughtful things you can do when planning a destination wedding is to make the experience as seamless and stress-free as possible for your guests. After all, they’re investing time, money, and energy to celebrate your big day—let’s make sure it’s a vacation they’ll remember for all the right reasons.
As a travel advisor specializing in destination weddings, I help couples design unforgettable events and remove the overwhelm that often comes with group travel. Here’s how to make your destination wedding easy for your guests—and how working with me ensures everyone is taken care of.

1. Choose a Guest-Friendly Resort
The foundation for a smooth destination wedding experience starts with selecting the right resort. Consider:
Location: Is it easy to reach with direct flights?
Room Options: Are there budget-friendly rooms alongside premium upgrades?
All-Inclusive Perks: Will your guests have access to food, drinks, and activities without additional costs?
I help couples compare resort options based on what matters most to their guests—whether that’s kid-friendly amenities, adults-only tranquility, or luxury experiences.
2. Create a Simple Wedding Website for Guests
Clear communication is everything. I design a custom wedding website for all of my destination wedding clients that includes:
Travel dates & booking info
Resort highlights & photos
Room categories & pricing
A secure link to book directly through me
FAQs and travel tips
This one-stop hub keeps your guests informed and eliminates the need for endless texts or DMs about where to book or what to pack.

3. Offer an Easy Booking Process
Booking a trip should never feel like a hassle. When you work with me, your guests get:
Personalized quotes
Payment plans when available
Automatic reminders for deposits and final payments
Direct support from a real person (that’s me!) if they have questions
Instead of DIY travel chaos, your guests get VIP service and clarity from start to finish.
4. Share a Trello Board for the Bride (and Planner-Type Guests!)
If you're a Type A bride—or if you have family or friends helping with the planning—I’ve got you.
Every couple I work with gets access to a Trello board that includes:
A customizable wedding planning checklist
A timeline of travel and wedding deadlines
A space to store vendor contracts, design inspo, and notes
Collaboration tools to stay organized across time zones
It’s like having a virtual wedding binder that updates in real time—perfect for keeping everyone in sync.

5. Include a Welcome Letter or Gift Bag
Once your guests arrive, go the extra mile with a thoughtful touch. Whether it’s a printed welcome letter with the week’s events or a beachy gift bag in their room, these details make a big impact.
Need help coordinating? I can assist with sourcing and delivering welcome amenities through the resort or a local vendor.
6. Be a Thoughtful Host (With Help Behind the Scenes)
You want to spend your wedding week relaxing and making memories—not answering logistics questions. That’s where I come in. I act as your “behind-the-scenes concierge” for all guest travel concerns so you don’t have to.
