Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to start planning my destination wedding?

A lot of this depends upon you! If you make decisions easily, then a year before your ideal date is enough time. If you are someone who is overwhelmed by the process, then about 18 months is ideal. We often hear from brides that they want to give their guests more than a year to save up and book. But most guests will book their travel about 9 to 10 months in advance. So in short- a year is typically enough time

This can be challenging, especially if you haven’t been to the destination before!

The best advice we can offer you is this-remember that there is no single resort or destination that will make everyone on your guest list happy. There is no single price range that will work for 100% of the people on your list. This is your wedding! You don’t want to spend the rest of your life feeling like you didn’t get the wedding that you really wanted because you were trying to make someone on your guestlist happy.

We usually recommend resorts that have less than 500 rooms, tons of great dining options, and fun activities onsite. To learn more about what to look for, and what to avoid, click here.

At Bliss Honeymoons we know how overwhelming it can be to try to find a resort that everyone will enjoy and coordinate travel for a large group of people coming from different cities.  We help you select the perfect location, eliminate the confusion about group contracts, negotiate the rates, streamline the communication, and offer a booking process that makes it easy for your guests.

Planning a destination wedding is like having a second job for a year or more! Having a company manage the travel who already has a solid system in place for keeping all the details on track can make the difference between it being a long stressful year, or a planning process that you actually enjoy.

Our business has always been based on relationships. So first we take the time to get to know you and understand what your vision is for your destination wedding. Based on this information, we get to work on creating options that will fit with both your budget and your wish list. Once we’ve determined which hotel is the best fit for your event, we’ll facilitate the group contract, help you get started with the resort’s wedding coordinator, and more. You’ll find everything about your destination wedding all in one place.

Our goal is to provide everything you need for a seamless destination wedding. We offer a complete, done-for-you package that not only includes the travel arrangments, but also includes a wedding site, all the communication pieces that go out to your guests, a timeline, checklists, travel documents, and more. Unlike other agencies who will only block your rooms, our travel packages are complete, with airfare, hotel, transfers, and trip insurance. And you’ll never have to chase down your guests to make their payments. We handle it all for you.

That’s ok! We can still negotiate the group contract, build your wedding site, help your guests through the booking process, and more!

We think this is a great idea! We’re happy to help arrange a visit to the hotels you’re interested in. You can meet the wedding coordinators, view the wedding locations, and more. We even offer preview trips to different locations throughout the year.

Chose an all-inclusive resort in Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica, or the Dominican Republic. Avoid any major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Usually, the guests pay for their own travel.
