The Absolute BEST.

I cannot thank VIP Vacations enough for their help when it came to arranging a hotel room block for my wedding in Cabo, Mexico. I initially stated the journey with Emily Bertsch, who sent me quotes for different hotels in the area. We chose the Hard Rock and WOW! What an amazing recommendation. Hands down the best hotel I’ve ever been to. Once we made our choice, we primarily worked with Ryan Doncsecz. Ryan is a SAINT. He is extremely professional, patient, organized. He helped all of my guests book their room, submit payments, and arranged transportation. Ryan made this process so easy and seamless. I never had to worry. If I needed Ryan to follow up on something for me, he took care of it right away. We had a large group of almost 40 rooms. When we finally got to Cabo, we followed his clear instructions to find our transportation. We had no issues checking in to our rooms. This was one big stressor I knew I didn’t have to worry about. Thank you VIP Vacations for making my wedding planning experience so amazing! The wedding was off site, but the rest of these photos were taken at the Hard Rock!

Highly Recommend!

We are so thankful we had Alison from VIP Vacations to help us plan our honeymoon! From the very beginning, she was so helpful, patient, and genuinely excited to help us put together a trip that was perfect for us. We definitely changed our minds a few times throughout the planning process, and she never made us feel like we were being difficult. She was always so accommodating and came back with different options and ideas for us to consider. Her recommendations were amazing, and we really felt like she listened to what we wanted. Our honeymoon ended up being absolutely incredible, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was such a special trip for us, and having Alison handle the details made the whole process so much less stressful.

We’ve already recommended her to family and friends and will absolutely be using her again for our future travels. We can’t thank her enough for helping make our honeymoon so amazing!

Destination wedding planning - Sandals Negril

VIP helped us book our destination wedding! Emily was extremely patient with us for all our questions leading up to choosing a location. She helped us obtain a group rate through Sandals Negril and talk us through the contracts. We had 45 guests come that all booked through VIP. Ryan was very responsive and helpful in getting all our guests booked for both room reservations and flights. I appreciate VIP and will definitely recommend to my friends!

Our Dream Wedding

VIP - especially Emily Bertsch was wonderful to work with for our destination wedding to Mexico. When deciding to a do a destination wedding, we were very anxious about the planning process. Originally, I thought I didn’t need a travel agent as I’ve never used one in the past, but that could not be farther from the truth. Having an agency for an event like this is SO IMPORTANT and can make your wedding and trip so much better and so much less stressful. It was so easy planning our wedding with VIP. We met with them for a consultation within 1 week of reaching out for more information and discussed what we were looking for and had ALL of our questions answered. The team then responded with options that may be a good fit for us and they were more than willing to continue searching for properties. We found the perfect resort and Emily Bertsch was not only able to book our guests and take care of that piece but she was actually able to help us plan our wedding celebration as well, which was so helpful. Our guests raved about how easy it was to book with VIP with the link we provided for our VIP wedding website and the team kept our guests updated each step of the way. Our wedding ceremony/trip was a dream. We seriously could not have imagined it any other way. We highly recommend using VIP Vacations for your destination wedding and any other trips you may have planned!!!!

Destination Wedding Planning Services

I was referred to VIP Vacations for wedding planning, I had never used a travel agent before and usually LOVE planning events and travel on my own but boy am I glad I used VIP! They were SO helpful, took my list of "what would make my perfect destination wedding" and found the most beautiful destination in Mexico. They even provided wedding planning help if desired that took some stress off for sure. The whole process made it streamline for my large group to stay together and book efficiently. Thank you for helping to create wonderful lifetime memories! I will use them for trips in the future!

The Perfect Honeymoon

Absolutely love VIP Vacations!! They had planned our honeymoon for us to Greece, and it was such an incredible trip with absolutely no issues at all. Alison was very professional, helpful, and helped us tune in to everything we wanted to see. The price was great for everything that we were able to do in such a short amount of time. Will definitely be going here for any future vacations!

Best decision!

Jennifer was a pleasure to work with! We had never hired a travel agent for past vacations, but with planning a wedding we knew we didn’t want to have the added pressure of planning our honeymoon. We had never been to Europe prior to, so it was comforting that we were working with someone with plenty of experience having booked trips there! Communication was easy & straightforward. Jennifer booked all of our tours, hotels, flights etc and prior to our trip she added our entire itinerary into an app that was easily accessible for us the whole trip. Truly everything went so smoothly, I couldn’t recommend her and VIP Vacations enough! The fact that I had to put zero thought into planning our honeymoon so that all we had to do was relax once we got to Greece was a huge stress reliever, so I am grateful that we went this route. Highly recommend!

VIP is the BEST Destination Wedding Agency!!

We had close to 200 people attend our wedding in Mexico and could never had pulled it off if it wasn't for VIP Vacations and the entire team. We worked with Jennifer and then Justin managed and helped all of our guests. Working with the hotel wedding planners was difficult but Jennifer always stepped in to ensure we didn't get lost in the shuffle and advocated for us when we were sent information that was conflicting. I would HIGHLY recommend Jennifer D and VIP to any bride planning a destination wedding.

Yes, we recommend

I had the pleasure of working with Ryan Doncsecz for all our planning needs of my Niece's Destination Wedding. Ryan never missed a beat and was very prompt on answering all our questions and informing us on all that needed to be done including reminders so we did not miss anything. He also found and guided us to the right representative when it wasn't in his area of expertise.

Best Experience Ever !

Everything was just the best ! My room was most comfortable with the outside shower and jacuzzi tub and very private ! I was close to all my friends and family and felt so completely safe and secure. The food was outstanding and I don’t know how this happened because I ate my full but didn’t gain one pound !! lol ! The wedding was beautifully and simply done with warm balmy breezes and perfect weather. We signed up for the catamaran excursion and went snorkeling seeing amazing vibrant colored fish of all kinds. What a blast! I highly recommend Emily and VIP for your next vacation!
I am ready for my next adventure!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
