Best Destination Wedding Planners vs DIY Research

Hey gorgeous!

Grab your favorite drink (ours an oat milk latte… or maybe a spicy marg depending on the time of day), because we need to have a real talk about destination wedding planning!

Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming when you’re staring at hundreds of all-inclusive resort websites at 2 AM. If you’re wondering how to choose the perfect Caribbean or Mexico wedding venue from 150+ options that all claim to be “ideal for destination weddings,” you’re not alone.

The truth? The best destination wedding planners make this process infinitely easier than DIY research.

Why Most Couples Struggle with Destination Wedding Planning

Destination wedding planning presents unique challenges that traditional wedding planning doesn’t cover:

The Destination Wedding Overwhelm:

• 150+ Mexico and Caribbean wedding resorts to research
• Wedding packages ranging from $2,000-$15,000 with varying inclusions
• Coordinating travel logistics for 20-100 guests
• Managing destination wedding costs while ensuring guest satisfaction
• Navigating resort wedding coordinators in different time zones

Common Destination Wedding Planning Mistakes:

• Choosing resorts based solely on photos and reviews
• Underestimating guest travel coordination needs
• Booking without understanding resort wedding restrictions
• Missing hidden fees in destination wedding packages

Sound familiar? This overwhelm is exactly why professional destination wedding planners exist.
