Honeymoons

Many of our couples have a preconceived notion of what their perfect honeymoon would be.  However the bride and the grooms ideas as well as their budget, may conflict with each other.  Our travel agents use communication and compromise from the very beginning to make your honeymoon romantic, memorable and as stress-free as possible.  Here are some of the all important questions that we ask:

• What do you desire in a honeymoon?
• Do you have a problem dealing with people that don't speak your language fluently?
• Do you desire a resort with a lot of activities, or a quiet and relaxing one?
• Are you interested in a cruise so you can see a lot of different islands/destinations?
• Are you interested in an all-inclusive resort?
• Most importantly...what is your honeymoon budget?

When it comes to planning a honeymoon, couples often try to pick a destination first.  Our travel agents suggest a more productive way to begin.  We help you to first decide what your dream is, and then help you narrow down your list of destinations accordingly. 

Picking the right resort is very important, for they can transport you into another world for your much needed escape from the reality.  Resorts are often set in the most picturesque places in the world.  They often include wonderful pools, amazing beaches, culinary delights and relaxing spas.  There are two main types of resorts:  the All-inclusive resort and the European Plan resort.  With the European Plan resorts, no meals, drinks or activities are included with the cost of your trip.  However, some resorts may include breakfast.  All-inclusive resorts make it easy for you to relax as all your food and drinks are included in one price, as well as many entertainment options, and recreational facilities.  (Is an all inclusive resort right for you?)

If lying on a beach sounds as exciting as taking a nap, then you may want to consider an adventure trip, especially if you and your fiancé share a love for the great outdoors.  We can help you plan that white-water rafting trip, African safari, scuba diving trip, or an exciting trip to DisneyWorld.  Another option for adventure seekers would be a cruise.  A cruise is like a floating resort that takes you from one exotic port to another.  It is the best way to see a lot of destinations, without having to pack and unpack all the time.  Cruises can take you to the Caribbean, Alaska, Mediterranean and even exotic locations like the Galapagos Islands!

Planning Tips:

• Share the planning.  Many brides or grooms want to be surprised, and they "think" they don't want to know where they are going until the day the leave.  This can lead to a disappointing honeymoon for one of you.  Why not plan this together, so you both can have the honeymoon you have always desired.
• Plan early!  The earlier you plan your honeymoon the better, as the best resorts sell out early, and the closer you get to your departure date the more likely your air costs will go up.  This will also give you plenty of time to pay off your honeymoon as a small deposit is often all that is needed to hold your honeymoon.
• Set a tentative budget.  Decide what you might want to splurge on.  Is it worth the extra cost to have a suite with a double Jacuzzi in the room, an adult only resort, or butler service?
• Use your maiden name.  Unless you are planning on a much delayed honeymoon, you will need to supply your travel agent with your maiden name as you won't have time to change your passport.

Marriages should start out on the right foot, and there is no better way to be on the right foot then with a romantic, stress free and unforgettable honeymoon.  After "I Do" your two favorite words should be "stress free", and we can't stress that enough.  Planning for the most important day of your life will be a wonderfully crazy time for you, so finding someone you trust to aid in your decision making process should be a welcome relief.   We hope you will give our travel agents the opportunity to help you create those memories that will last a lifetime!
