We offer several cost-saving strategies for destination weddings that can also apply to local weddings:
1 - Substitute flower arrangements with candles for a beautiful ambiance. Additionally, flowers cannot be brought back through customs if it's a destination wedding.
2 - Wedding favors can be costly, especially depending on the number of guests, and many people don't take them home. We recommend offering an edible favor or a DIY candy bar at the end of the reception. These are just a few suggestions we offer our destination wedding couples but we lots more to offer.

"This past July I had my wedding at Azul Beach Riviera Maya. I started planning my destination wedding with Susan from Personal Escape Travel that previous year. The planning was nothing but exceptional, every question I had Susan was available to answer it. Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of. Everything Susan told us was correct. Susan was even able to get the color scheme I wanted for my destination wedding. The food at the resort was excellent. Working with Susan from Personal Escape Travel for our destination wedding was the best choice we made."
Sue was honestly a wedding saver!
She helped me throughout the entire destination wedding planning and was very patient.
We had a beautiful wedding & she made sure to help all our guests which was greatly appreciated since we had so many other things going on & we knew we would not be able to answer everyone's questions.
I, myself, had so many questions & concerns since I did not know what to expect with a destination wedding. Sue at Personal Escape Travel, made sure that everything got taken care & she even reminded me of things I had forgotten to do.
She also booked our honeymoon which was wonderful. My husband & I were so happy with her service. I would HIGHLY recommend Sue. She is patient, knowledgeable, kind & genuinely cares about her job. She made the experience a lot less stressful for us. Thanks Sue! xoxo
"My wedding day was the most memorable day of my life thanks to Susan Blume from Personal Escape Travel.
My husband and I decided to have a destination wedding and were of course a bit nervous since we couldn't oversee everything. We decided on the beautiful Turks and Caicos Island and Sue handled it from there. She met with us and knew what we wanted and thankfully dealt directly with the hotel which was a huge relief for me. She helped me with every detail from colors to flowers and place settings. She accompanied me to tastings and meetings with dj's and photographers. She made my nerves disappear as she calmly and thoroughly went through all my options. There were also guests who had special requirements and Sue handled everything and everyone's needs we're met with the upmost professionalism. I can say my husband and I actually got to enjoy in our beautiful day cause Sue made sure everything went off without a hitch. Susan doesn't just have clients she creates relationships and takes a personal interest in their happiness. I can't express enough appreciation for her hard work in making our destination wedding an unforgettable event."
