Why Couples Choose Vacations For Less for Their Destination Wedding

There are hundreds of travel agencies. Here's what makes VFL different — with specifics, not marketing language.

  • Certified Destination Wedding Specialists

    Our team holds Certified Destination Wedding Specialist credentials — not general travel agents handling weddings as a sideline. Every specialist on our team has planned hundreds of destination celebrations and knows which resorts deliver on their promises.

  • Free Planning Service — No Fees, Ever

    Our destination wedding planning, group room block management, and guest travel coordination services cost you absolutely nothing. We're compensated by our resort partners, not by you. You get expert guidance and preferred pricing at zero additional charge.

  • Preferred Partner Rates Unavailable to the Public

    Our 30-year relationships with Dreams, Secrets, Palace Resorts, Riu, Hyatt Ziva & Zilara, Hard Rock, Barceló, and Paradisus give your group access to preferred room rates, complimentary perks, and package credits that couples booking direct simply cannot access.

  • We Track and Deliver Every Perk You've Earned

    Most couples who book direct never realise they've earned complimentary room nights, suite upgrades, or package credits — because nobody tracked their group nights against the contract. We do. Every booking counts, and every perk gets delivered.

  • Complete Group Travel Coordination

    We set up and manage your group room block, coordinate individual guest reservations, arrange airport transfer options, and provide a guest travel guide — so your guests arrive smoothly and you stop answering the same questions 50 times.

  • Licensed, Accredited, and BBB A+ Rated

    We are a licensed California Seller of Travel (2002477-40), members of ASTA and NTA, and hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. These credentials matter when you're entrusting your wedding and your guests' travel to an agency.

  • One Dedicated Specialist, Start to Wedding Day

    You won't be passed between departments or handled by a call centre. You'll have one dedicated specialist by your side from your first consultation through your wedding day — answering questions, solving problems, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

  • US-Based, Mon–Fri, 9 AM–5:30 PM PT

    Our team is based in the United States and available by phone at 1-800-200-2423 Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM Pacific Time. When you call, you reach a specialist, not a voicemail system.

Vacations For Less destination wedding specialists — planning couples' celebrations since 1995

Our Story

Vacations For Less, Inc. was founded in March 1995 as a family-owned travel agency with a clear focus: helping couples plan beautiful, stress-free destination weddings at the world's finest all-inclusive resorts. What started as a small operation has grown into a 30-year track record of thousands of successful destination weddings across Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica.

Over three decades, we've built the resort relationships, the destination expertise, and the coordination processes that allow us to deliver results that couples who plan alone — or work with a general travel agent — simply can't replicate. We know which coordinators go the extra mile, which resorts honour their contracts, and how to navigate the inevitable challenges that come with coordinating international travel for a group of 20, 50, or 100+ people.

  •  Family-owned and operated since 1995
  •  Preferred partner status with 8 top resort brands
  •  Thousands of couples and guests served across 30+ years

What We Offer

Our services go well beyond resort recommendations. We act as your dedicated group travel manager, wedding package negotiator, and guest logistics coordinator — from your first consultation to your wedding day and beyond.

  •  Resort selection and package comparison — across all 8 of our preferred partners
  •  Group room block negotiation and management — including perk tracking
  •  Individual guest booking support — with preferred group rates
  •  Wedding package customisation guidance — upgrades, outside vendors, timeline
  •  Airport transfer coordination — for couple and guest groups
  •  Ongoing resort liaison — communicating with coordinators on your behalf
