Frequently Asked Questions

We provide end-to-end destination wedding planning and travel coordination — completely free. Our services include resort selection and package comparison, group room block negotiation and management, individual guest reservation support, airport transfer coordination, and ongoing communication with resort wedding coordinators on your behalf. We're Certified Destination Wedding Specialists with preferred partner status at top resort brands across Mexico, Dominican Republic, and Jamaica. Learn more about our team →
We recommend starting 12 to 18 months before your intended wedding date — especially for peak-season dates (November through April) at popular resorts, which book out well in advance. Starting early gives your guests maximum time to arrange travel, and gives us the best opportunity to secure preferred room block rates. That said, contact us regardless of your timeline and we'll tell you honestly what's available. See our complete destination wedding planning checklist for a month-by-month breakdown.
Yes — guest travel coordination is one of our core services. We secure a group room block at your chosen resort so your guests can book at agreed group rates. We provide individual support for guests who have questions, coordinate airport transfers, and manage the room block tracking to make sure you meet your minimum for complimentary package perks. You stop fielding individual travel questions — we handle that.
The average all-inclusive destination wedding costs the couple $5,000–$15,000 — significantly less than the $36,000+ average US wedding. Many resorts offer a complimentary ceremony package when your group books a minimum number of rooms, meaning the package itself can cost $0. Guests pay for their own rooms and flights separately. Use our free Wedding Cost Calculator for a personalized estimate, or see the full destination wedding cost breakdown.
We work with Dreams, Secrets, Palace Resorts, Hard Rock, Riu, Hyatt Ziva & Zilara, Barceló, and Paradisus. The best resort for your wedding depends on your guest count, budget, destination, and whether you want adults-only or family-friendly. Our specialists narrow it down to the 2–3 best options for your situation. Browse our Best Destination Wedding Resorts guide or compare all resort brands to start exploring.
Yes — you have two options. A legally recognized ceremony at your destination requires apostilled documents and coordination with local civil registries. Most of our couples opt for a symbolic ceremony at the resort — which is equally beautiful — and formalize the marriage legally at home before or after the trip. This approach is simpler, eliminates paperwork risk, and is the most popular choice. Your VFL specialist will walk you through both options based on your chosen destination.
