What does full-service destination wedding planning include?
It connects the wedding and guest journey under one coordinated scope. Depending on your proposal, support may include design direction, resort or venue selection, vendor and timeline management, room blocks, guest travel, transportation planning, and local wedding-weekend execution.
Can VDW manage only our room block and guest travel?
Yes. The guest-travel service is designed for couples who already have a planner or only need travel support. The agreed scope may include resort comparison, room-block guidance, booking communication, guest questions, deadlines, and transportation coordination.
Can you help us choose a resort or venue?
Yes. We compare appropriate options using your date, guest count, budget direction, event needs, room inventory, accessibility, and preferred atmosphere. A site-inspection trip may also be helpful when the shortlist requires an informed decision in person.
Where is the VDW team based?
Via Destination Weddings works from Cancun and the United States. This structure connects bilingual, on-the-ground wedding planning in the Mexican Caribbean with U.S.-based travel support for couples and their guests throughout the planning process.
Do you work with every hotel in the Mexican Caribbean?
We evaluate properties according to fit, current availability, policies, and the service scope. Not every hotel or venue is appropriate for every wedding, and a recommendation does not guarantee availability, pricing, or acceptance of specific event requirements.
Can you plan weddings at private or non-resort venues?
Potentially, when the location, access, lodging strategy, vendor requirements, and production logistics support the event. Private-venue feasibility, guest comfort, backup needs, and the exact planning scope must be reviewed carefully before any commitment is made.
What does guest travel management cover?
The service can cover room-block comparison, booking guidance, deadlines, guest questions, travel communication, and transfer coordination where included. Exact deliverables, provider terms, and any applicable third-party costs are confirmed in the proposal and relevant contracts.
Can we begin before we have an exact wedding date?
Yes. An initial conversation can help clarify region, season, guest count, budget direction, and resort style. An exact date or acceptable date range will eventually be needed to verify current availability and request applicable terms.
Can you help us choose a wedding venue if we cannot visit in person?
Yes. When a site inspection is not feasible, the team can prepare a tailored shortlist using your needs, then share current packages, images, and, when available, a live video tour so you can make a more informed decision from home.
What happens during a wedding venue site inspection tour?
Site inspection tours are designed around your shortlisted venues and typically run for one or two days. The team coordinates the itinerary and appointments, accompanies the visits, and helps you compare each property's event spaces, guest experience, logistics, and fit for your plans.
Can you help us understand a resort wedding and room block contract?
Yes. Once an appropriate resort is identified, Via Destination Weddings can assist with reading, reviewing, and summarizing the wedding and room block agreements. Final terms, availability, and contractual obligations remain subject to the resort and the signed agreement.
Can you create a wedding website and help track RSVPs?
Depending on the selected service scope, support can include a personalized wedding website with essential guest information, RSVP tracking, and booking guidance for accommodations, transportation, and flights when needed. The exact deliverables are confirmed in your proposal.
