Book It

A travel agent can be a wonderful asset when planning a destination wedding.  A bride has plenty on her plate without the added task of assisting guests in booking rooms and flights.  Additionally, a travel agent is able to get group rates at the resort, as well as with airlines.  The best way to find an agent is by referral of a friend or family member.  You want someone who will be trustworthy and responsive to both you and your guest.

My aunt goes on a cruise vacation each year and she uses the same travel agency to book vacations.  I retrieved the information from her for Berman Travel.  The service was great and I would recommend them for your destination wedding booking.  My agent was Cindy and she was able to hold 10 rooms for our group and I didn't need to pay for all 10 rooms up front.  I asked our immediate families and friends who would definitely attend the wedding to call in and make deposits to ensure we secured as many of those 10 rooms as possible.  The remaining guests had 2 weeks to call Cindy to pay their deposit.  Cindy was also able to secure a group airfare rate, for which deposits were made as well.
