About

At Design Our Travel®, we are an award-winning travel agency and destination wedding planner that serves ALL couples who want to plan honeymoons and destination weddings in the Caribbean and Mexico.

  • Perhaps you’ve looked until you’re dizzy on Google, uncovered a million resort options, and are now even more overwhelmed than when you first started.
  • Perhaps you are so busy daily that you just want someone to swoop in and help.
  • Or perhaps you are really seeking that unique honeymoon spot or wedding venue that none of your friends have posted about on Instagram yet.

My name is Sarah Barlow, and I am the CEO and founder of Design Our Travel® and Weddings by Design Our Travel. For me, traveling isn’t just about taking pictures and checking places off a bucket list; it is about deliberately slowing life down and letting the magic of a destination inspire you and breathe fresh life into your spirit and your closest relationships.

Incredible service!

We had the most incredible time in Jamaica.
Our view was amazing, the resort (Grand Palladium Montego Bay) was stunning, and the staff at the Grand Palladium was so kind the entire time we were there. I could not have asked for a better vacation and it was all thanks to the Sarah's emails, her organization, and her attention to every single detail that was incredibly helpful from the beginning to the end of our trip. This trip was so successful thanks to her company!

Perfection.

This company went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our group had an amazing time. The planning process was seamless and I truly felt like I just had to pay and show up. All the heavy lifting was done for me. Sarah had quick answers to any questions or concerns. 10/10 recommend. I can’t wait to plan my next vacation with her.

Top tier customer service!

Sarah went above and beyond to help us through the entire process for our destination wedding in Jamaica! From helping us pick a venue, securing a room block, connecting us with the resort wedding team, helping guests with travel arrangements, answering all of our questions, she was the best!! I would choose her again and again!!!
