    Seamless Destination Wedding Planning

    I highly recommend Modern Destination Weddings for your resort wedding. Fereshta was with us from the start to choose our resort, confirm a date, and provide guidance along the way. Resort communication is minimal until about 3 months from the day, so it was great having a responsive contact to answer any of our questions.

    Sheeba and her travel team made it so easy for our guests to book rooms, coordinate flights, and schedule transfers to the resort. Overall, our guests had an easy travel experience and raved about the resort.

    I would not have been able to navigate planning a wedding so far away with Moden Destination Wedding's support!

    Dream team to dream wedding. We love them!

    Without Modern Destination Weddings team, wedding planning would've been super stressful. From initial contact, to choosing a wedding venue, connecting us to the vendors, and organizing flights and stay for our guests, they were with us through every single step and more. Special thanks to Sherissa Tuttle. Simply put, she is amazing and we have recommended her to couple of our friends who are thinking of planning a destination wedding in the future. She is the queen of wedding planning. Her communication was great, which we appreciated so much esp because of the time difference. Her years of experience and expertise made us feel comfortable with the whole process. We loved loved working with her and her team and can't thank them enough for bringing our dream wedding to life.

    Amazing experience!

    I cannot say enough good things about Fereshta and Itzel. They made this process so simple and easy for us! They were very responsive and with just a couple phone calls and emails they were able to find us our dream wedding location. They are truly amazing at what they do!! I would highly recommend their services to anyone; even if you think you can do it alone - having them by your side through the tough planning has made it a breeze. TRULY AMAZING AT WHAT THEY DO!!!

    Outstanding Experience

    I came to know about Modern Vacations through a destination wedding that I attended in 2016. The experience I had with them for just planning for my family attend a wedding as guests was outstanding top to bottom.
    So much so, that they were my first option for planning my 25yr Vow Renewal in St. Lucia.
    From the beginning they are attentive to your wants and needs. They provide you with all the details and set the expectations. I have had so many calls, emails and texts with my agent (Anna Duran) during this planning process and she is ALWAYS responsive, pleasant, caring and on top of whatever the situation is. She is awesome!!!
    I would definitely recommend Modern Vacations to anyone who wants to plan a wedding or a great vacation but doesn't want to do the leg work on their own. They take away all the stress and allow you to focus on the fun.

    Patient & positive—so worth it!

    Fereshta and her team have been so positive, helpful, patient and clear. Their positivity and excitement make wedding planning the fun adventure it should be, and they happily answer all of your questions! You never feel like you’re bothering anyone. I know this can be a stressful time with all the planning, but the team at Modern Weddings brings genuine excitement to the process.

    Modern Destination Weddings

    Destination Wedding Brides- I highly recommend working with a third party wedding planner who specializes in destination weddings. There is so much information out there and Modern Destination Weddings helped me focus and broke down all the information for us. They answered all our guests questions and booked their travel. They took so much stress off of us. We are so grateful for Fereshta, Krystal, and the whole team!

    Do Yourself A Favor And Hire Modern Destination Weddings

    I am so thankful that I found Modern Vacations & Destination Weddings. From the very first consultation call, I knew they were going to be a great fit. As a person who travels quite frequently and who has always wanted to have a destination wedding, I thought planning one on my own would be simple. Once I started looking, I realized that was not the case. Itzel and Fereshta at Modern Vacations helped me sort through all the details. They took the time to listen to all of my must haves for the wedding and devised a detailed list of potential venues that would fit my needs. They are friendly, responsive and overall they made me feel like they were on "Team Ashley" when helping me make big decisions. No question was ever a silly one and they had many wonderful recommendations when I wasn't entirely sure what direction I wanted to go in. Their expertise in the travel space made me feel very comfortable when choosing a resort. They have traveled to many, if not all, of the resorts they suggest. They have also built relationships with all of the resort wedding coordinators which helps to get answers quickly. I was glad and beyond thankful to have them by my side while planning my dream wedding.

    Every step of the way this company has been there for me and my fiance. I quickly realized I did not and could not handle planning a destination wedding on my own and I am so happy I chose the perfect company to assist me and my guest getting to my big day!

    Truly a stress free experience

    We could not have planned this wedding without Modern. They made planning our wedding and trip a totally stress free experience. From day one Kendyll and Itzel were enthusiastic and extremely helpful! Even if you don't know where you want your wedding yet, they will do all the hard work for you and send you options. They are amazing!

    The travel team takes care of every aspect of of travel for your guests; resort stay, flights, and transportation to and from the resort. Your guests have a person they can always reach out to that will answer all their questions and concerns so you don't have to. Krystal kept us updated frequently and was always there when we needed her.

    If you are planning a destination wedding in Mexico or the Caribbean, I 1000% recommended using Modern!

    Reduced the Stresses of Wedding Planning

    Most brides talk about how stressful planning a wedding is and for the most part I can happily say, can't relate. And that's largely in part to the best in class team at Modern Destination Weddings! From the first line of communication, Itzel was phenomenal. I had submitted info request forms for many similar companies online and Itzel, with Modern Travel was the first one to actually call me (instead of sending a generic email). That sealed the deal for me. The team with she and Kendyll were very thorough with finding out what our wish list was for the wedding and providing us with a very detailed portfolio based on our preferences with photos, prices, and other important resort info. Kendyll guided me through every step of the planning process and even stepping in when I felt that the resort was being a bit lag in communication or vague in explanations. She was sure to get to the bottom of it. Sheba was truly a godsend. I panicked as most brides do as we got closer to the wedding date. Not only was she calm and assuring, but she was understanding and did not make me feel like a lunatic. I'd also like to shoutout Anna. I didn't work with her personally but many of my guests did and gave me rave reviews about her ability to follow up and take care of their booking needs. I wish that we had budgeted to have these ladies our my wedding because they were so instrumental in the success of our wedding at Royalton Negril. The booking process for 50+ people is something that would have drove me insane but the Modern Travels team made it happen. We are already thinking of when our vow renewal will be and where we'll have it. We have some big shoes to fill in and you can bet that we will be having our team with Modern on speed dial to facilitate the travel again.

    So thankful to have them on my team!

    These guys worked so hard for us! They helped us narrow down our resort options and communicate with the resort. Then when it came time to book, they were very patient with our million complicated requests.

    Hi Naomi! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are happy to hear you enjoyed working with Heather, Kendyll, Sam, and Kristin and hope to work with you again on future trips!

    Very helpful if planning a destination wedding

    If I'm being totally honest, there were times when using Modern Vacations and Destination Weddings I wondered if it was totally necessary to use their services. Helpful? Yes, necessary? I was unsure. However, after watching two friends plan destination weddings this past year I realized how lucky I was to find them! All the stresses my friends had to deal with on their own I did not have to! Blindly scouting hotels, arranging shuttles for their family members, calling and emailing hotels to find wedding dates and availability, among about 20 other vacation related tasks were things I did not have to worry about! I worked with Fereshta and Sheba and they were so nice and professional. I started planning prior to covid and had no idea how challenging things would become! They kept me calm when I was having a full blown meltdown, meanwhile they are probably dealing with 20 other brides just as stressed as me! I felt like everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. I had to reschedule my wedding which they made so easy on me and my guests. Then a few months after rescheduling the hotel sold out of rooms. They worked diligently to check everyday to see if new availability had opened up. If I planned this on my own there is no way I would have been able to secure rooms on my own! I felt as if I was their priority. All of my guests were also so happy with the service they provided. Bottom line, planning any wedding is hard but planning a destination wedding is really hard. You have to babysit all your guests and remind them to do so many things, book your room! Get your passport! Pick your flight! Arrange a shuttle! It was nice to know the team did the reminding for me so I could focus on the important wedding stuff.

    Modern Destinations wedding planning company was so helpful and I definitely recommend working with them.

    Destination Wedding

    I can't say enough positive things about Modern Vacation & Destination Weddings. My husband and I got married this past February in Mexico and it was an absolute dream come true. The entire team at Modern was super professional, prompt in answering questions/concerns, and personable. They honestly do everything they can to make your wedding as easy as possible. Highly recommend!

    Amazing team that brings enthusiasm and passion

    I am so happy with the experience that Modern Destination Weddings has provided to me. I’ve not had to worry or stress about next steps or looking up information for my guests because they have done all the heavy lifting. I was so worried about planning my own destination wedding and I had no idea how I would go about it. I decided to do some research about destination wedding planners and I saw outstanding reviews about Modern Destination Weddings. I decided to reach out to them and from day 1 they have proven to live up to the great reviews that I first read about them and have always taken care of all my needs. Thank you Modern Destination Weddings!

    Modern Destination Weddings's reply:

    Aww Dayana you are so sweet! We are so happy you made the decision with our company and have enjoyed your experience working with your team (Heather, Rhonda, Jordan, and Sheba). You are amazing and we can't wait to see all of your hard work planning come to fruition!

    easy, stress-free destination wedding planning!

    Modern Destination Weddings was seriously a dream to work with! They provided such detailed and efficient work. They really work to follow your vision and then make it reality. So easy to work with and very nice people! I worked with Fersheta, Sheba, and Itzel and they were seriously the best at making the wedding planning process so easy. They were all so nice and thorough with their work. They make an introverted bride feel like a success. I literally didn't have to lift a finger! Modern Destination Weddings is seriously the go-to if you are planning a wedding abroad and want it to be as easy and stress-free as possible. Definitely recommend their services!

    Modern Destination Weddings's reply:

    Modern Vacations and Destination Weddings are the VERY BEST!!

    My daughter and son in law chose Modern Vacations & Destination Weddings to plan and organize their destination wedding in Playa Mujeres, Mexico. Every person that we spoke to there was professional, had attention to detail, and genuinely wanted the best experience for the couple. They took care of every detail and handled all of the details for our guests as well. I can't say enough great things about this company. I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or a vacation. Also, it helped that the staff had actually been to most of the resorts that we considered and were able to help my daughter and son in law make a great selection and plan a spectacular event.

    Seamless experience

    Let’s face it, planning a destination wedding is terrifying to say the least. However, the team at Modern Destinations quickly put all my fears at ease. From the moment I had my first call with Itzel I knew I had made the right decision. With the partnership of Itzel, Jordan, and Sheba planning my destination wedding has been such an awesome experience. My guest have received prompt response time to travel quote request as well as any questions they have. The team has literally thought of everything and is one step ahead of all the moving parts during the planning process. This team of All-Stars (as I like to call them) have made the wedding planning process absolutely stress free!!! You will feel the passion, excitement, and drive to make sure your planning process is seamless. I would hands down recommend Modern Destinations Weddings to anyone that is looking to plan their dream destination wedding. My fiance and I can’t wait to say I DO! #Cancun #June2020 Thank you ladies!!
