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.

Our curated website made it easy for our guests to book and took care of all of the major and minor details so we didn't have to. We would highly recommend this duo to anyone planning their destination wedding!

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

ODW helped me with my destination wedding!

When I got engaged in July 2024, I knew I wanted our wedding to be outside of the US. When we decided to have it in Punta Cana, DR, I knew I would need as much help as possible when it came to travel. As a type A, I couldn't wrap my head around how much work needed to be done to ensure my guests knew everything necessary to book their trip & get to Punta Cana with little to no hiccups.

I was referred to ODW through Rachel, the wedding planner at Kukua Beach Club (the venue I booked). Upon our initial consultation, Carol was extremely knowledgeable & honest about expectations, and gave us a clear overview of the process.

Throughout the entire planning process, Carol & Carolisa were instrumental to keeping me at ease. They created the travel page for us, where guests could go to book their rooms. They also gathered flight information, payments, and sent reminders on everything related to travel, including airport transfers. They were able to accommodate changes guests made to their booking, and were responsive to many of our guests questions. When the wedding got closer, they sent email reminders about airport transfers & the required E-ticket. It was a HUGE weight off of my shoulders.

Although the resort they recommended didn't end up meeting our expectations, Carol made sure she understood my concerns. She helped facilitate communication between me and resort, and stepped in when necessary. She followed up with me even after the wedding and made sure I was still receiving support.

I wouldn't recommend ODW enough! Thanks to them, I truly had the best and smoothest time traveling to my wedding.
