About ODW. | The View from Forever

We’re two sisters, two past destination wedding brides, and one heart behind Our Destination Weddings (ODW.). We’ve felt the excitement, the nerves, and the magic that come with saying “I do” away from home, and that’s exactly why we love what we do.

For over a decade, we’ve helped couples plan effortless, unforgettable weddings across the Caribbean and Mexico. As award-winning and top-producing travel specialists for ten consecutive years, we bring not only experience but genuine care.

Our couples quickly become family. We laugh with you, celebrate with you, and make sure you always feel supported. What started as our shared love for travel and connection has become something much bigger — a lifelong passion for helping others create their view from forever.

With love,
Carol & Carolisa

The best support a bride could ever ask for!

Working with Carol (and her sister Carol!) was one of the most meaningful parts of my entire wedding journey. My destination wedding at the Royalton Riviera Cancun would not have been the same without them. The value was incredible — they worked within my budget, fought for the best rates, and made sure my guests had options they were comfortable with. Every penny felt like it went toward peace of mind.

But what truly set them apart was their heart. Their professionalism was perfection, but their attitude… that’s what changed everything for me. They were patient, warm, and supportive in a way that felt so personal. We talked almost every day, and now that the wedding is over, I genuinely miss our conversations. It felt like losing a little piece of my daily routine, because they weren’t just planning my trip — they were walking through the entire experience with me.

When negative reviews started coming out about the resort after I booked, I was overwhelmed and scared. Carol never let me spiral. She reassured me, kept me grounded, and reminded me that everything would work out. And she was right.

She handled every single guest, even the difficult ones, with unbelievable grace. She made me feel understood, taken care of, and never alone in the process.

Carol didn’t feel like a travel agent… she felt like a sister. And I will always be grateful for her.

From North Carolina to Mexico!

I reached out to ODW with 3 resorts in mind, Carol gave me her review of each one, and we went from there selecting Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres as the best option to fit us. From creating a user-friendly booking site, and handling all guest communication, to coordinating the initial conversations with the resort, and ensuring a seamless transfer to and from the resort. The ODW team did their best to make travel the least of our worries, especially with traveling with 90+ guests. Our guests raved about the quick responses and had no complaints. We'd love to be able to book group travel with ODW again, and we'd recommend them to anyone considering a destination wedding.

Made my dreams come true!

Carol was a pleasure to work with! I got married this past September at CDC in La Romana, DR and thanks to Carol and ODW we were upgraded to a beautiful room, and I was also able to get ready at the VIP bridal suite for free! Carol helped me and my guest have a wonderful destination wedding experience! 💗

Amazing Experience with ODW - Highly recommended

Our group trip to Punta Cana was amazing, and a big part of that was thanks to our travel specialist and her Our Destination Weddings team. They were attentive to every detail during the planning phase from the very beginning, and when our flight was cancelled, they stepped in immediately. Even though we had to pay more to fly out the next day, she handled everything with the resort and got our dates moved for only a small fee — which her company later refunded.
Her professionalism, calmness, and care made a stressful situation so much easier. We’re truly grateful for everything she did for us.

Just do it!

This was my very first time working with a travel agent. The goal was to have travel arrangements set up as organized as possible with guests. Carol and Carolisa were amazing at this! They are professional and quick to respond and connect you with the right people. They provided a personalized wedding page that allowed guests to book with all booking/hotel details provided. They are both bilingual and can communicate efficiently in English and Spanish, huge plus for those who speak Spanish. They handled the majority of our wedding guests and resolved any issues at hand. Initially I had plans of staying at one resort near Kukua, but they understood my needs and helped me find a MUCH better resort. So thankful for this. They took the time to listen to my vision and understood what I was looking for. They didn’t just book with my first choice. No regrets whatsoever. Dreams Macao was the type of resort I was looking for. Clean, modern, quiet, not overcrowded, family friendly! It is a little further out from Kukua. But it was so worth it! Plus they got us great rates!

As far as concessions, we received our room comps 2-3 weeks after checking out. We were offered a welcome cocktail/dinner for a group of 30, but did not use it for personal reasons. Instead I chose to do an all white welcome cocktail at the lobby bar. About 100 guests showed up. It was perfect. Live music was playing and a clown even showed up for the kids! Wonderful experience.

We did not get a room upgrade, which was disappointing given the number of rooms in our group. However, they did mention from the beginning that this was based upon availability. So communication was clear on their end. The hotel itself also did not provide any additional benefits. If concessions are super important to you, then keep this in mind when choosing a particular hotel. Ask them upfront about this! The staff at Dreams Macao made the experience wonderful and accommodating for my party of 100 guests! Thank you to Carol and Carolisa for such a stress free and smooth experience!

Hopefully you find them first before making arrangements with a venue, they are very knowledgeable in this department - they can help you find venues and will give you good feedback. They can assist you with finding dates that are more affordable throughout the year for a wedding date (if you are flexible).

The Best Decision We Made For Our Destination Wedding!!!

All I can do is applaud Our Destination Wedding! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Traveling out of the country for the first time can already be nerve-racking, but when you have a HUGE group of family and friends counting on you to make sure their first international trip is safe, successful, and seamless, it can be even more overwhelming. When I tell you Our Destination Wedding DID THAT!!!

From beginning to end, they made us feel so comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire experience. They were extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful and they went far beyond just being a travel agency. As a bride, there were so many decisions to make, and they offered genuine advice and guidance that helped me make the best choices for our wedding, our guests, and the overall experience.

They made everything look so easy that I literally had guests coming to me asking if they could use them just to plan their own small family vacations out of the country! 😂 That alone says so much about the experience they provided.

Planning a destination wedding is a HUGE undertaking, especially when you’re responsible for so many people, and having a team that makes you feel like everything is handled is priceless. I would recommend Our Destination Wedding to ANYONE looking for a smooth, organized, and stress-free destination wedding experience.

Well done!!! 👏🏽 We absolutely LOVE them and will 100% be using them again for future travel!

So Grateful for Our Destination Weddings

We got married at Kukua Beach Club in the DR. During the planning phase, they recommended Our Destination Weddings, and I am so blessed that they did.
We had a 140-person wedding down in the Dominican Republic. Carol helped us pick the resort that worked best for our group. We were looking for a resort with a fun vibe, variety of pools, good food/drinks, and an overall great atmosphere. She knew the perfect place, Dreams Onyx, which was everything we were looking for and more.
The Destination Wedding group helped all our guests book their rooms, answer any pressing questions, and arrange transportation to and from the airport. We had many guests, and Destination Weddings helped us with each and every one of them. It was beyond helpful to be able to call Carol, especially during the week of our wedding with emergencies, room challenges with the hotel, and other uncertainties that arose.
If you are looking for someone to help you with your wedding group bookings, look no further because Destination Weddings was the perfect fit and helped us with everything we needed.

Above & Beyond

If you are planning a destination wedding, do yourself a favor and hire Carol Ebua and her team. They are professional, deeply empathetic, and absolute rockstars. From the very beginning, Carol guided us through finding the right resort for our group size and budget. She handled all hotel communications regarding our room block, securing fantastic rates and negotiating tirelessly to make sure we got the best possible deal. They also provided us with an astonishing website for our guests to book and manage their reservations.

Planning a destination wedding is stressful, but it became even more challenging when we heartbreakingly lost two family members during the process. Carol and her team treated us with the utmost sympathy and compassion. We never felt rushed or pressured; they truly made us feel like our feelings mattered and literally held our hands through our toughest moments.

Our Destinations Weddings Review

Our Destinations Weddings was exceptional in helping my wife and me plan our wedding room block for our family and friends. They made the entire process seamless from start to finish, not only for us but also for all of our guests.

The resort recommendations they provided were all excellent, and we ultimately chose Dreams Onyx. It was the perfect choice—our family and friends had an amazing time enjoying the resort’s activities, delicious food, and beautiful amenities.

We highly recommend Our Destinations Weddings to anyone looking for assistance with wedding room blocks. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made the planning process stress-free, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Thank you for helping make our wedding celebration so memorable!

Too ❤️ Easy!

I'm so glad I found Our Destination Weddings (ODW)! I had no idea where to start when my fiancé and I decided to have a destination wedding. They guided us to the perfect all-inclusive resort that checked all my boxes! They were very communicative through the entire process. They were always there to answer my questions and respond to my guests. My wedding day was one of the most beautiful days of my life. Thank you ODW ❤️ With Love, Maylene & Randell
