We used DestinationWeddings.com to assist us in planning our Destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We went with this company as I attended a wedding in 2018 in Mexico where my friend used the same company and they were really pleased with their experience and I thought the wedding was great! We started speaking with our planner Maggie Elles at DestinationWeddings in January 2023 and just had our wedding in January 2024. I would highly recommend Maggie. We gave her a budget and described our group vibe and she was very helpful in assisting us picking out our venue. We met with her often before signing our contract with our venue and then met with us every time we would have zoom meetings with our rep from our resort. I felt that since we had Maggie, that she would be able to decipher and articulate back to us what to expect, read the fine print, and answer any questions we had, which she did wonderfully. I feel like having a wedding planner, especially for a foreign destination was extremely helpful and they truly became an advocate for us. Maggie herself was also very responsive - which is what we needed. I also liked going through DestinationWeddings as they over promos on certain resorts so we ended up getting money back! We had a great wedding and have no regrets about using DestinationWeddings.

TJ Dana has been nothing but absolutely wonderful throughout my process of booking this wedding. My wedding is booked for June 7th of this year at dreams La Mareas, the booking has been in place for at least 18 months if not longer. My original wedding planner at the resort was Caroly, She was very rude, spoke over me, Never responded.

Tj immediately stepped in to address this issue, even Caroly was abruptive, interrupting Tj and trying to speak over her. Tj professionally stepped in and informed her that she was being rude and condescending and we would need to escalate this matter as she was not LISTENING to me and my concerns for my wedding day. Tj took the initiative to request a new planner at the Resort, which did not get approved request. Even with the resort denying the request Tj spoke to the Manger on a group conference call to ensure that the quality service in the future will be improved.

Even after this assurance from the manager things did not change. Caroly even had her team believe she kept all meetings with me but Tj was quick to defend the truth for me and resolve this misunderstanding and successfully got me a new planner at the resort to work with. She attended the conference call to ensure the quality of service was to my satisfaction eith the new planner and that no one would try to bully me again.

I cannot express how grateful I am to have her on my side through this planning process. Even when I visited the resort she called me daily to ensure that everything was to my satisfaction. She has worked with so many of our guest to assist them in their booking of rooms and transportation needs from the airpot to resort and back.

Tj is absolutely a blessing to me.

We worked with Melissa from Destination Weddings and she was AMAZING. She was extremely kind, responsive and genuine. She spoke from experience regarding her destination wedding and you could feel that she truly wanted to do everything she could to organize the wedding of your dreams. Melissa helped us find an off site venue, a resort that fit our requests, she provided pricing from a variety of sources and was extremely quick to respond while even answering emails on evenings and weekends! If you are looking to plan a destination wedding, Melissa is your girl!!
