LGBTQ Destination Weddings, Honeymoons & Romance

Gay Wedding Certified Specialists

LGBTQ Honeymoon Destinations

LGBTQ Destination Wedding Traditions (changing every day!)


​Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and we're here to make your wedding the celebration you are dreaming of!

We can start by talking and comparing the different destinations and your dream wedding venue!  Your marriage is legal in the U.S., Mexico, some Caribbean Islands (we know which ones that will insure your comfort), Fiji, Tahiti and other South Pacific islands.

Wedding traditions come in big and little packages, will you go with traditional or add twists and personal preferences? Will your feet be in the sand or maybe a sky wedding with a million-dollar turquoise backdrop of the sea?  Whether you choose to see each other before the wedding ceremony, if you can dream it, we can make it real!

With current events of the COVID-19 virus and temporary quarantine of many destinations and resorts, we receive on-going communications from all-inclusive and non-all-inclusive resorts with upcoming specials, travel and air restrictions.  

Our top 4 Destination Wedding Do's ​(and many more)

Do #1:​ Hire our experienced LGBTQ wedding planner.  It's your special day.  It's not the time to experiment with someone
that doesn't know the destinations and resorts who welcome all life-styles, who doesn't know the ropes and has no firsthand experience with destination weddings and many destination requirements for weddings.  We create your dream vision
for your perfect wedding-not someone elses'.


Do #2: Surround yourself with supportive friends and family that understand that this is your day, it's not about them.
Often couples make decisions to make others happy, but your support system will encourage you to make decisions that
are in your best interests.


Do #3: Come into the planning process with an open mind and share all your feelings, wishes and secrets with our experienced team.  As your partner we will turn your inspirations into your unique love story!


Do #4: Insist that your destination wedding travel planner has first-hand destination and resort experience on your chosen destination and is available 7-days a week via multiple forms of communication.

Our top 4 Destination Wedding Don'ts (and many more)

Don't #1:​ Retain just any travel agent or family member or friend to plan your big day.  They can not exercise judgment or recommendations that include country requirements, resort contracts for your venue, guest rooms or group special events.  They don't know the capacity of freebees or experience planning an LGBTQ wedding and travel. It's not the time to experiment with someone that doesn't know the destinations and resorts who do or don't welcome all life-styles. It's your perfect dream vision - not someone elses.

Don't #2: Choose quantity over quality. Don't get involved with big destination wedding online companies who assign you an agent who is guided by company overhead and preferred resorts. They may not have any experience with lifestyle planning and who have no experience with the destination or resort brand of your choice.  Beware of companies who try to change your mind. 

Don't #3: Be one of hundreds big destination wedding travel groups boast about doing a month. You are special and so is your wedding. Big companies focus on specific brands for overhead and quick cookie cutter weddings for volume when possible. 
​

Don't #4: Surround yourself with people who do not respect this is your wedding, your way. Often others try to make decisions for you or you end up making decisions to make others happy and not in your best interests.
