We will review the difference between a flex group vs. a contracted room block and which option will benefit you the most. All of our events of 10+ rooms are contracted room blocks, as these can offer you various concessions & perks. During this stage we will also be negotiating room block rates and concessions with the supplier. Our couples tell us that this is usually one of the main reasons they hire us for travel services.

Secure the Room Block

Secure Your Date

If you have your heart set on a particular date or venue, or if it's during high season, it's key to secure these around 18 months prior to your event. We will want to identify a primary and back up date for your special day as well. We will work with the on-site wedding team at your selected resort and/or off-site venue to lock in the specifics.

We create a personalized digital proposal filled with photos, videos, and key details about destinations and resorts that align with your vision. You'll also find wedding package options and expert guides to help you choose with confidence. With each proposal you will also receive a custom video from lead wedding planner, Sarah Barlow, walking you through the proposal options.
