Destination Weddings – In Their Words
"From the very beginning the only way for us to get married was a destination wedding. We could not fathom a giant impersonal traditional wedding. A destination wedding enabled us to spend time creating lasting memories with each of our guests, instead of just one day. We knew that for us the ideal wedding included a few simple things, a beach, warm water, crystal blue skies and our closest friends and family… And that is exactly what we got for our wedding. Now we must admit that we were not sure how we were going to get all of this organized and that is where Travel Concepts came in to help us realize our vision. The patience, willingness to assist and attention to detail the team at Travel Concepts showed us and all of our guests was nothing short of exceptional work. Through the team's dedication and our vision, in the end we were able to create a wedding experience that has forever etched the memories of our wedding not only into our minds but into all of our friends and family that made the experience so incredible." ~ Andrea & Jason/Barcelo Maya Palace Resort/Riviera Maya, Mexico
"Imagine being in paradise with 26 of the people you love most in this world, all the while relaxing, laughing and being treated like royalty. That was our destination wedding, and it was truly a gift. I would also add that we could have NEVER planned that wedding without you and your team. I would have been a mess with all the coordinating and travel details involved, and the end result could never have been as wonderful. Not to mention missing out on your expert advice and perspective. There are so many locations and resorts to choose from, it is overwhelming. We are so grateful that you listened to what we were looking for, as well as our priorities (like excellent food!) and budgetary concerns, and made recommendations that you knew would work for us. Finally, we were so pleased to have all the little perks that you only get when working with a travel agent who has good relationships with vendors. A private transfer thrown in here, a room upgrade thrown in there - all of those little extras made the experience that much more enjoyable. THANK YOU, Denise and Travel Concepts!" ~ Heather & David/Secrets Silversands Resort & Spa/Riviera Maya, Mexico
"On October 23, 2010, I remember the exact moment I opened my eyes. The sun was shining, palm trees were gently swaying in the Caribbean breeze; it was a very pleasant 84 degrees. I was definitely not in Kansas City…this was the beginning of the most incredible day of my life. The decision to have a destination wedding…was a difficult one and the months leading up to the trip were filled with questions and fears of an unknown place with unknown people in an unknown country. There were many phone calls and visits over those months leading up to our departure and you and your staff responded to every query and question no matter how frivolous or ridiculous and did so with professionalism and grace. Our destination wedding experience was absolutely magical and went far beyond any travel experience we have ever had. Not only did our wedding experience exceed the perfection that only existed in our dreams, but our guests were “wowed” and enchanted by what they were able to experience along with us. Stephanie & I will be forever grateful to you and your team for guiding, planning, listening and building the most memorable wedding experience we could have ever imagined. You truly are “Dream Makers” and we wish you continued success in making dreams come true for those who follow behind us." ~ Ryan & Stephanie/Secrets Maroma Beach/Riviera Maya, Mexico "We cannot thank Denise and Travel Concepts for all their help with our destination wedding at the Barcelo Maya Palace in Mexico. Denise helped manage our group of almost 30 people, who were all traveling from different places and at different times with such ease. She made everything so easy and all the plans couldn't have gone any smoother!! She connected me with the wedding coordinator at the Barcelo and made sure I was taken care of and received everything I could ever imagine. Once at the Barcelo, I can't put into words how beautiful the resort was and how gracious the staff was. Our wedding went so wonderfully, they are such professionals and gave us the wedding of our dreams. Denise helped us with our stay at the Barcelo, our wedding, and planned our honeymoon which was in Cozumel. She did such a fantastic job and we will forever use travel concepts. Thanks Denise!"
