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.

Destination wedding

We couldn't have asked for a better travel agency to help us plan our destination wedding! From the very beginning, the team was organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our dream wedding a reality.
Carol was always there when we needed anything !
They handled all of the travel arrangements smoothly, answered every question we had, and made the entire process stress-free for us and our guests. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly service gave us complete confidence every step of the way.

Our wedding was everything we had hoped for, and we know we couldn't have done it without their support and expertise. We are incredibly grateful for all of their hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a destination wedding or special trip. Thank you for helping create memories we'll cherish forever!

Exceptional Service Through Every Unexpected Challenge

As I navigated planning my wedding, I searched social media and wedding websites to help find the best booking agency for my group. There were several agencies to choose from, but I always paid close attention to the reviews. Our Destination Weddings consistently had great reviews for their attentiveness and professionalism, which ultimately led me to choose them.
I started my journey with Our Destination Weddings about a year and a half before my April 2026 wedding. Initially, I had between 85 and 90 guests interested in attending, and from the very beginning, the process was easy and smooth. My booking agent and group coordinator was Carol, and she was absolutely amazing—helpful, encouraging, knowledgeable, and always available when I needed assistance.
Carol made the entire process seamless. She handled all the work, including creating a personalized website with a booking link that I could share with my guests. Because of her, I didn't have to worry about travel arrangements and could focus on planning my wedding.
Then came the devastating Jamaican storm of October 2025. Initially, the resort I had booked intended to remain open. However, about 30 days later, in November, they announced they would be closing for nearly a year—well beyond my wedding date. At that point, we were less than six months away from the wedding. I didn't want to move the wedding to another country, and there were very few alternative options available on the island.
Carol was incredible throughout this entire situation. She kept me levelheaded, and while I knew I wasn't her only client dealing with this challenge, she always made me feel like I was. Honestly, had it not been for Carol, I was so frustrated by the uncertainty surrounding the resort change that I may not have ended up having the reception I originally envisioned and wanted.
Within just two weeks, Carol and her team found a new resort and completely transferred my entire group. They handled all the legwork, secured the contracts with the new resort, and managed the details without placing any additional stress on me. It was definitely a stressful time, but without someone like Carol assisting me, I truly don't know what I would have done.
There were several times when I wanted to throw in the towel, but Carol was always there to encourage me to keep moving forward. She continually reassured me that my day would come, that it would be beautiful, and that everything we were going through would ultimately be worth it.
By the time everything was finalized, we had a total of 71 guests traveling to Jamaica. After the resort change, additional deposits were required that hadn't been part of the original plan. Even then, Carol and her team were incredibly accommodating. They worked with guests to create payment schedules that worked for everyone. Transportation was arranged, travel plans were finalized, and every detail was put into place. I truly didn't have to worry about a thing.
Traveling to Jamaica and getting to the resort was seamless. While there were a few issues during the trip itself, none of them had anything to do with Our Destination Weddings. They absolutely knocked it out of the park when it came to their responsibilities and support.
My wedding day was beautiful. Everyone had an amazing time, and everything went off without a hitch.
I would absolutely recommend Our Destination Weddings to anyone planning a destination wedding. The only unfortunate part is that you can't specifically request Carol and are instead assigned an agent. Not that I plan on doing this again, but if I ever did, I would choose Carol again without hesitation.
Carol is caring, encouraging, and full of great advice whenever difficult decisions need to be made. If you're planning a destination wedding and want a team that will advocate for you, handle the details, and help ensure everything is exactly the way you envision it, Our Destination Weddings is the company to use.

The best 10/10!

When I decided to have a destination wedding, I had no idea where to start. I spoke with several different people, but Our Destination Wedding felt like the best fit.

I started with a consultation with Carol, and she was so helpful in answering all of my questions. She assisted with getting me connected to the resort when communication was difficult. After two weeks of trying to solidify a date, Carol was able to help secure it and get consistent communication moving.

From the room block, guest questions, travel concerns, and everything else that came up, Carol was always available to assist. I highly recommend their services. The customer service was amazing, and I have no complaints.

The website was easy for guests to use, and the booking process was seamless. I absolutely loved working with them and would use them all over again. Even when two rooms canceled the week before the wedding, they were a huge help with communicating with the resort and assisting us through the process.
Locations : Dreams Onyx / Punta Cana , DR
Highly recommend!

We cannot recommend Carol & Carolisa enough!

Planning a destination wedding comes with a million moving parts and having them in our corner made such a difference throughout the entire process.

From helping us choose the PERFECT resort to assisting our guests with travel arrangements and questions along the way, they were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive. Choosing the right resort is such a huge decision for a destination wedding, and they absolutely guided us in the right direction, our wedding weekend was everything we dreamed of and more!

Our guests had an amazing experience, travel went smoothly, and everyone is STILL talking about how incredible the trip was (and asking when “part 2” is happening 😂).

Planning a destination wedding can be stressful at times, but Carol & Carolisa truly cared about making sure everything came together and that we had the best experience possible. We are so grateful for all of their help, guidance, patience, and hard work throughout this journey.

If you’re planning a destination wedding, group trip, honeymoon, or vacation look no further. We would recommend them over and over again and can’t wait to work with them again in the future!

Thank you both for helping make the best weekend of our lives possible! 🤍

Great company with great ladies behind it

These ladies were great. We discussed what I wanted and the budget I wanted to stay within. They actually helped me narrow down the resorts and I picked the best I felt worked for my vision and budget. They were fast at responding to my emails and all of my questions. And even more helpful once my guest started booking their rooms and flights. They helped me keep up and track my guest count so that I didnt go over my budget. And they also kept me in the loop when I reached certain perks. Overall great experience. I was married in the DR May 2026. And although nothing went as planned it all went there way it was supposed to and I wouldn't change a thing.

A huge shoutout to Carol and the Our Destination Weddings team!


When I first began the wedding planning process, I had no idea what to expect, especially when planning a wedding out of the country. I got married in Cancun MX at Dreams Riviera Cancun, and it was absolutely beautiful. From my very first meeting with Carol, I knew I was in good hands. The entire team was incredibly professional, organized, and excellent with follow-up.

I especially appreciated being able to ask Carol for her personal opinion. As a destination bride herself, she offered thoughtful insight that truly helped shape my big day. That level of care and experience made all the difference.
The team was always responsive, supportive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly. I can truly say the ODW team relieved so much stress when it came to booking and coordination.

If you’re considering a destination wedding, I highly recommend working with them
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
