Thanks Sherissa & Itzel!

We had a great experience working with Sherissa and her team for our destination wedding. They helped us choose Secrets Moxché, which ended up being the perfect fit, and handled guest travel booking smoothly and professionally. Communication was clear overall, and our guests appreciated having a dedicated team to work with.

There were a few moments where it was hard to get ahold of the broader travel team, but Sherissa and Itzel were fantastic about stepping in right away to make sure everything was resolved. They were responsive, proactive, and truly made us feel supported throughout the planning process. We’re very grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend them for destination wedding travel planning.

Only way to do a destination wedding!

I worked with Sherissa and her team for our destination wedding, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I didn’t even know where to begin when it came to planning a wedding in Mexico. Tt felt so daunting at first, but Modern Destination Weddings cut out all of the guesswork and made everything incredibly easy from the very start.
After listening to all of our needs- including the fact that our group loves to have a lot of fun- they found the resort that was absolutely perfect for us. They presented several options they felt aligned with our vision, and the one we chose ended up being everything we hoped for and more.
They managed travel for all 114 of our guests, which made the entire process unbelievably easy. I never had to stress about the travel details because they handled everything seamlessly. Once everyone was booked, I was transitioned to my on-site wedding planner, Mitzy. The planning process does feel a little “blind” at moments, and you really do have to trust the process, but it all came together beautifully.
I ended up having the best week of my life, and so did every single person who attended. Our wedding was beyond anything I could have imagined. Sherissa and her team went above and beyond from start to finish, and I can’t recommend them enough.

Furlough Wedding

The Modern Destination Weddings team was phenomenal. It was such an easy process working with them, and they handled everything in a timely and professional manner. They were very communicative, informative, and available at all times to help us throughout this process. We absolutely loved working with them to plan our special week. Everything turned out perfect, and that was in large part to the work that they did. We had 66 guest attend our destination wedding, and every single person complimented the Modern Destination team for their organization, clear and consistent communication, and for helping complete all logistics for getting to/from the resort. We highly recommend using Modern Destination Weddings for planning your wedding, as it was the BEST decision that we could've made! They will handle a lot of the stress for you, allowing you to focus on the details of your vision. They were also extremely affordable, and helpful for staying within your budget. 10 out of 10 rating from us, you won't be disappointed!

Solid experience

We had a very pleasant experience working with Modern Travelworks. Our wedding specialist, Sherissa, made every step of the process easy and straightforward. We thought that having a destination wedding would be a draining ordeal but Sherissa and team did a fantastic job guiding us until the end. Not only that, Mike and his sales team handled our requests promptly and resolved all of our guests’ transportation concerns. We highly recommend hiring their services if you want a memorable wedding planning experience!

True Experts!

Sherissa and Itzel couldn't have made the planning anymore seamless. To helping nail down the perfect venue and pricing for us, to staying on calls with the venue and providing advice the whole way. Sherissa felt like a true partner every step of the way and because of her I truly never felt the typical "wedding stress" if you are wanting to have a destination wedding look no further than the amazingggg team at Modern Destination Weddings. They helped with our room block and organizing transportation to and from the resort for our guests. A truly seamless and simple experience for our guests is all we couldve hoped for and their team went above and beyond. 12/10 recommend. Thank you to the team for making our wedding weekend absolute perfection!

Modern Destination Weddings is the best!!! Everyone I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with has been incredibly kind and helpful. They are so attentive and have an answer to every question you could think of. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sherissa and she is amazing! She’s so quick to answer any and all questions that I have and very quick to find me an answer if she doesn’t already have one. There is no way I could do this process without her! They are truly the best!

Miracle workers!

When we first started planning our wedding, the idea of a destination wedding felt both exciting and overwhelming. I didn’t know where to begin—researching resorts, communicating our vision, and helping everyone book their travel seemed like a mountain of tasks that I definitely wasn't interested in doing. I wanted our wedding planning process to be as stress-free as possible so I could truly enjoy the day with the people we love. That’s when I was pointed toward Modern Destination Weddings, and they turned out to be nothing short of a miracle!

Working with Sherissa, Itzel, and Sheba was an absolute dream! From the moment we connected, they made everything so easy. Sherissa guided us through the process of selecting the perfect resort. After we went over our vision and budget she sent over so many good options and really helped me feel good about our choice by sharing additional pictures, reviews and even videos. She truly went above and beyond to ensure the resort matched the vision I had for our special day and the entire experience turned out to be even more than I could have imagined!

They didn’t just make the big decisions easier—they also handled all the little details that I was dreading. Thanks to them, I didn’t have to field endless questions from family members about international travel or logistics. They were always patient, kind, and supportive, even helping with my smaller worries that they certainly didn’t have to. Their expertise and care made me feel like we were their top priority every step of the way!

When our wedding day in Cabo finally arrived, it was everything I had dreamed of and more. I felt completely present, surrounded by the people I love, in a place that now holds so much meaning for us. I can’t thank Modern Destination Weddings—and especially Sherissa, Itzel, and Sheba—enough for making it all possible.

I tell everyone a destination wedding is the way to go and you can't do it without Modern Destination Weddings, Itzel, Sherissa, and Sheba!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
