You also may be thinking it&#8217;s cheaper to book directly with the hotel. Perhaps you&#8217;re someone who is highly organized, you are decisive and you know what you want for your wedding &#8211; check, check, check.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are a number of reasons why we would not recommend that you book your destination wedding directly with the resort. The biggest one is that you will end up spending more money on your wedding event than you need to, and will possibly become frustrated during the planning process &#8211; and no one wants that!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on to discover why, as <a href=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/about-us\/\">wedding professionals with decades of experience in the industry<\/a>, we believe you should talk to us (or a travel professional of your choice!) before making the decision to book your destination wedding directly with the resort you have chosen.

Myth: Planning the wedding will be easier<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll find that the service offered from many of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/inspiration\/\">destination wedding resorts across Mexico and the Caribbean<\/a> is not as speedy as we have come to expect in the United States and Canada. \u2018Island Time\u2019 can be a little frustrating when you\u2019re at home and wanting some guidance or help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you book your destination wedding directly with these resorts you\u2019ll most likely find that communication can be tricky.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can take quite a long time to get a reply to emails. If you get through on the phone you may find that you are connected from one person in the sales department to one person in the wedding department with zero communication between the two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your experience as the wedding couple will therefore be frustrating\u2026 it could be so bad that it might make you want to give up on planning it altogether. It doesn\u2019t have to be this way!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Myth_Having_a_booking_link_will_be_enough_for_my_guests\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Myth: Having a booking link will be enough for my guests<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s hard enough to plan a wedding. Now imagine planning a wedding a tropical location that most, if not all, of your guests have never been to and have dozens of questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you book <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your destination wedding directly with the resort you will <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">typically be given an online link to pass onto your guests for them to book their rooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst this may seem helpful, it rarely goes smoothly if anyone has any questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about it: Your aunt wants to know the price difference between a 3-night and 4-night stay. Your cousin wants to move room categories to be in a swim out just like your brother. Your mom needs a proximity request to be close to her sister. Your bridesmaid wants to extend her stay by 2 days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If any of your guests have a question, it is unlikely that it will be answered via this booking link.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your friends will then need to call the hotel individually and go through the same frustrating experience that you have.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They will then likely ask you for your help with the answers, and so the frustration continues on. You don\u2019t want to be inundated with questions from everyone in the months before your special day as you have enough organizing to do at this time! Not sounding very fun, huh?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Myth_You%E2%80%99ll_save_money\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Myth: You&#8217;ll save money<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resorts do not provide any <a href=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/benefits\/\">special rates or perks<\/a> if you book <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your destination wedding directly with them<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Therefore this is not the best way to get the best rates for your wedding event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A travel provider will have the ability to get rates that are better than the resort will give to anyone directly. Remember that they will have worked with this resort before, they personally know some of the key staff and will therefore be able to get you better deals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the great perks that are available are often not even discussed if there is no travel wedding expert involved to ask the right questions. Over time, you get to know the resorts and how they work. We want you to get the most out of every dollar you spend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A destination wedding planner can also help you compare rates from different parts of the hotel &#8211; it&#8217;s our goal to get you a group rate and the best perks for your destination wedding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Myth_You_don%E2%80%99t_need_an_advocate\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Myth: You don&#8217;t need an advocate<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is any kind of issue with the hotel you have chosen, you will have no one to call except the hotel themselves. You can often be waiting quite a long time to get your call or email answered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We heard that this happened a lot during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-health-coronavirus-caribbean-tourism\/empty-resorts-spell-long-crisis-for-caribbean-as-coronavirus-hits-idUSKBN222189\">Covid days with resorts just not responding to requests<\/a> coming in directly from their clients. Of course this was an incredibly stressful time for the resorts themselves, but it would have been helpful for the couples to receive better communication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need an advocate involved in the planning of your wedding event &#8211; someone that you can ask questions to and someone who will listen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We specialize in destination weddings and we will have an &#8216;insider&#8217; on the ground at the resort that we can call &#8211; this is a huge bonus for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You and your partner are the VIPs in this experience and sadly we have found that some of the resorts do not make couples feel like this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recap_Why_you_shouldn%E2%80%99t_book_your_Destination_wedding_directly_with_the_resort\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recap: Why you shouldn&#8217;t book your Destination wedding directly with the resort<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope that this article has helped give you confidence and understanding on why not to book your destination wedding directly with the resort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a travel professional will result in a much more positive and relaxing experience for you &#8211; you will get to be the bride and the groom, and not a reluctant and stressed travel or event planner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any other questions about planning your destination wedding then please do get in touch.
