What to do when vetting your travel agent / wedding planner

10/29/2019

0 Comments

I know you've heard it before but its worth repeating, 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚!

Your wedding is a big deal,  𝙬𝙚. 𝙜𝙚𝙩. 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩!

Most destination weddings are booked about 12 to 14 months prior to saying I Do. So, you'll be working with your travel agent and wedding planner for a long time. Think of all that can happen in 14 months; Birthday celebrations, 4th of July, Thanksgiving and all things Pumpkin Spice, Santa dropped off presents, New Year's Eve kisses, Heart-shaped chocolate boxes on Valentine's day, the Easter bunny comes, babies are born... OMG the list goes on.

I can't stress this enough - you have to like who you're working with.


Everyone's goal is an amazing wedding to be shared with friends and family and an unforgettable vacation experience.
Throughout the year process you need to work with someone who understands your expectations, vision, lifestyle, sense of humor (we can't take everything so serious).


It doesn't hurt to have some common ground, perhaps a favorite wine or can't miss tv show, or favorite sports team! Get to know each other. Maybe you both belong to book clubs, or have a shared love for golden retrievers, or you can't go a week without hitting up a hot yoga class. 
Our clients are not a number or just another wedding. We love to get to know our couples and their guests and creating friendships with them! 



So I'll 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙙𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚: when vetting your travel agent / wedding planner absolutely yes, make sure they're well versed in group travel, destination weddings and the resort/venue and promotions that apply but also get to know them. Find out a bit about them and see 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙟𝙞𝙫𝙚!

And hey, if we aren't your style that's okay too! Different strokes for different folks 😉
Did you know you can book up to 39 rooms for your destination wedding with only a $500 deposit!

Group VS Individual Reservation

8/1/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
This is our NUMBER ONE question and explaining it has several variables!

Here's the low-down on the BASICS:
● a group reservation means everyone is booked through one supplier, as one reservation
  • this does NOT mean that all guests must do the same duration or room category

● booking as a group allows far more flexibility on the reservation payment
  • meaning only a deposit is required to book, which may be fully refunded (unlike individual reservations where most require full payment at the time of booking)
  • group deposit dates are usually within 90 days of making the reservation---or even later! VS Individual reservations typically require a deposit or full payment immediately

● group reservations have flexibility on changes
  • meaning name changes, duration changes, room occupancy changes, room category changes all can be done with only a small fee, or none at all! VS Individual reservations have limitations on when changes can be allowed, higher change fees, and in the majority of individual reservations they do not allow changes at all!

●booking as a group reservation qualifies the wedding couple for exclusive promotions like earning room upgrades (for themselves or to give out to their guests), flight credits (to save money on airline prices--in some cases flying for free!), wedding package promotions (like free welcome cocktails, free group check in, free rehearsal dinner, etc.), and even free rooms which essentially is a dollar value that can be applied towards guest reservations, their own reservation, or taken as money to use towards their wedding costs or paying for a group excursion like a group sunset catamaran!!

There are so many reasons why a group reservation is ideal for a destination wedding.

You would be missing out on so much if you choose to go the route of Individual Reservations!

Vacation with your Paw-ty Pup

6/20/2017

0 Comments

 
I LOVE to travel -- to explore new places; try new foods; experience new culture; relax on gorgeous beaches; the reasons why I love to travel are endless!
​But, I HATE to leave my furbaby at home!!!  I have serious heartache when I have to leave my sweet girl behind.  I mean, just look at that face!!!
Picture
There's a lot that goes into planning a vacation, not to mention if you're planning your destination wedding!! And keeping your furry family member out of the plans is heart wrenching! 
​Finding a suitable doggy sitter, ensuring they will be safe and happy and cared for while you're gone, facing timing them from the beach... (yes I do this -- #crazydoglady) There's lots that goes into keeping your dog at home while you're away.
Fortunately, now I can bring my dog on vacay with me!! Yup, you read that right!
​Breathless Riviera Cancun, an adults only all inclusive resort situated on the beautiful white sand beaches of the Riviera Maya coast line in Mexico allows small dogs in selected room categories!!

Yeessss!!
So, what's all this mean... I've scooped all the details for you! 
  • Breathless Riviera Cancun’s dog policy allows dogs under 22 lbs. (10kgs) for $55 USD per night, in xhale room categories only.
  • Please check with your airline for information regarding traveling with pets, including security and TSA guidelines.
  • Only dogs are permitted
  • Required upon check-in:
  • Dog’s name, weight, age, color, and breed for identification purposes during their stay
  • Vaccination certificate from veterinarian proving Bordetella and Rabies vaccinations within the past 12 months
  • Evidence that a current treatment for fleas and ticks is in use
  • No more than one dog is permitted in any guest room. Dog is allowed only on designated dog area(s) of the hotel grounds. Dogs are not allowed in the Pool, Fitness Center, Spa, Retail shops, and Golf facilities
  • Due to local regulations, dogs are not allowed on the beach.
  • Dog must be on a controlled leash at all times or in a dog carrier when not in the guest room. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after the dog on resort grounds and properly disposing waste in designated areas.
  • Dogs cannot be left alone in guest rooms for periods longer than two hours. Guest must notify the front desk and hang the “Dog Friendly Room” door hanger when leaving their dog unattended in the guest room. Guest must answer the cell phone number provided to the resort while their dog is unattended in case there are any issues.
  • Dogs must never be left alone overnight. Please contact the concierge if boarding recommendations are needed.
  • Guest room cleaning services will not be carried out unless the guest is present. The dog owner must be in the room if the dog is present when the guest’s room is cleaned, in order to not frighten the pet and to avoid the risk of a pet’s escape. Please contact the concierge to schedule convenient cleaning times.
  • The resort reserves the right to request the dog's removal if the above guidelines are not adhered to.
  • Restrictions, guidelines and availability are subject to change at any time
Picture
While there are restrictions, you now can bring your small pup along with you for your vacay, or destination wedding!!  Every dog mom and dad want to have photos with their furchild with them on their wedding day!  And you're used to sharing your bed, ​albeit, sacrificing your own sleep comfort, so bring that spoiled pooch with you to snuggle together in your luxurious king sized bed!
What does that mean to me?  Now my sweet Casey can come along with me on vacation!  (If only this had been available for my own destination wedding! I would have been totally down, and while my husband may put up a tough guy front he adores our little pup)
So to sum up, everything is better with a dog and that includes your vacation to Breathless Riviera Cancun!  I cannot wait to bring Casey and pamper my girl with all the unlimited-luxury inclusions they can offer her! 

​Her nickname is Princess Paws for a reason ;)
What does this resort offer for their human guests?  Glad you asked!
Lux and modern suites are divided among three unique areas, each with distinct character and appeal. The xhale club section (dog-friendly rooms) for those seeking an elevated level of personal service and luxury, the energy center for those looking to mix & mingle and the xcelerate Party Zone for those who live and breathe for the party. This adults-only oasis offers all of the benefits of Unlimited-Luxury®--where everything is included. Unlimited premium beverages at hip bars and lounges, unlimited gourmet meals at trendy restaurants, 24-hour room service and much more.
