- Camryn and Braeden
I can’t thank Lori enough for her outstanding help in organizing all the travel arrangements for Braeden, myself, and our wedding guests! From the very start, Lori made the entire booking process so seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Lori…she’s an absolute gem!
"She took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and the logistics of our wedding weekend, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of perfectly!"
- Destination Wedding Client
Lori was a DREAM to work with!! It was so nice to have the booking details for our guests taken care of...I can't imagine planning a wedding and having to deal with making sure our guests (110) were all booked and had all the info we needed. Lori took away so much of our stress and was amazing to work with.
"Literally the best money we spent on anything having to do with a wedding."
- Maddy
From picking out the perfect resort to making sure 100+ guests had shuttles to and from the resort, it was all taken care of. Lori was also such a quick communicator and was on top of everything - if we had a question, she would respond as soon as possible. It was also nice to work with someone who had connections with resorts. I can't imagine doing this all on our own! She gets a 100 star rating!! Please hire her if you need help planning something! Our entire group + us LOVED working and communicating with her!!!
"I HIGHLY recommend using Lori and Playa Bella Weddings and Travel - you WILL NOT regret it. "
- Destination Wedding Client
I highly recommend Ashley with Playa Bella Weddings and Travel!! She helped me plan my destination wedding in Cabo with 70+ guests! Ashley was very organized, attentive, and friendly! She was always very professional and on top of things so that nothing fell through the cracks. If you’re planning a destination wedding or any sort of travel, you should work with Ashley!
"She helped me choose the ideal resort, coordinate with the venue, secure guests’ rooms, coordinate with the on-site planners, and handled all of our travel. "
- McKenzie and John
Lori helped to ensure solid and smooth communication throughout our entire wedding planning. My guests raved about how easy and effortless the process of booking a hotel and transportation was. Lori cares about YOUR big day and is there to hold your hand throughout. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to make destination wedding planning fun and stress free. I’d give more stars if I could!!
"All I can say is WOW! Lori is incredibly helpful, organized and committed to her clients."
- Morgan H.
I don’t even know where to start. Lori has been the biggest blessing throughout our entire wedding planning process. Planning a wedding out of the country is not for the faint of heart, but Lori made the travel/lodging/transportation process for us and our guests a piece of cake. We have gotten SO MANY comments from our friends and family about how truly lovely and helpful Lori has been. She promptly responded to all email correspondence, ensured our pre-wedding events were prioritized by the resort, made all of our guests feel at ease with their travel plans, and so so much more.
"Lori is the absolute best you can get, and we could not be more grateful to have her on our side!"
- Josie
"We have worked with Ashley a couple of times now and she just makes everything so easy and stress free! I don’t think I’ll ever travel out of states without her help! !"
- Luxury Travel Client
"Ashley helped my husband and I plan a one of a kind honeymoon. She listened to our thoughts and preferences and found just what we wanted to do. She was easy to talk to and contact during our trip as needed. I would recommend them to help with any travel needs!"
- Becky
We had the pleasure of working with Ashley of Playa Bella Weddings and Travel, LLC. Ashley was FABULOUS to work with on this vacation. She followed up in a timely manner and accommodated all of my requests. I never once felt like I was a bother and I had a million questions.
"I would highly recommend working with Playa Bella for your future vacation needs. "
Destination Wedding Travel & Planning FAQs
Planning a destination wedding or once-in-a-lifetime trip comes with a lot of moving parts. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about working with Playa Bella Weddings & Travel, from destination wedding travel support to guest coordination and personalized travel experiences.
What does a destination wedding travel specialist do?
A destination wedding travel specialist focuses on the travel and resort side of your wedding experience. At Playa Bella, we help you choose the right destination and all-inclusive resort, present and guide you through wedding package options, manage your room block, coordinate guest travel, and assist with logistics like transportation, welcome events, and excursions. Our goal is to make the entire experience feel seamless and well-supported for both you and your guests.
What’s the difference between a destination wedding planner and a destination wedding travel specialist?
This is a common point of confusion. A traditional wedding planner typically handles vendor sourcing, design, and execution—such as florals, catering, and décor—often for local or private venue weddings.
A destination wedding travel specialist focuses on the travel and resort experience. At Playa Bella, we work with all-inclusive resorts that have on-site wedding teams who handle the wedding day details. We guide you in choosing the right resort, manage guest travel and accommodations, and stay connected throughout the process to ensure everything is aligned and running smoothly.
Do you help coordinate travel for wedding guests?
Yes. Guest travel coordination is a key part of the destination wedding experience we provide. Playa Bella manages room blocks, assists with guest bookings, coordinates transportation logistics, and serves as a point of contact for guest questions—so you are not managing those details on your own.
When should we start planning a destination wedding?
In most cases, it is best to begin planning a destination wedding 12 to 18 months in advance. This allows time to choose the right destination and resort, secure availability, and give guests enough notice to plan their travel.
Can you help us choose the right destination and resort?
Yes. Playa Bella helps you narrow down destination and all-inclusive resort options based on your vision, guest experience, travel logistics, and overall goals. We guide you through the options so you can make a confident, informed decision.
Do you charge a fee for destination wedding or travel planning services?
Yes. Playa Bella helps you narrow down destination and all-inclusive resort options based on your vision, guest experience, travel logistics, and overall goals. We guide you through the options so you can make a confident, informed decision.
Can you help with both our destination wedding and honeymoon?
Yes. We can coordinate both your destination wedding travel and your honeymoon, creating a seamless transition from your wedding into your next travel experience.
What types of travel do you plan outside of destination weddings?
In addition to destination weddings, we plan honeymoons, group trips, and personalized travel experiences. Whether you’re celebrating something special or planning a getaway, we help create a seamless, well-coordinated trip from start to finish.
