    Absolutely amazing! Stress free!

    Bea About It Travel was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! As a pregnant bride, I didn't have the energy to plan the wedding myself, but Bea and her team took care of every detail so I didn't have to worry about a thing, even on the day of the wedding. They listened to our vision and brought it to life in the most beautiful way - I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day or experience. Bea's expertise, attention to detail, and warm personality made the planning process stress-free, and the end result was simply stunning. I highly recommend Bea About It Travel to any couple looking for a wedding planner who will truly make their day unforgettable.

A Wedding Day Coordinator manages the logistics of your wedding day so everything runs smoothly. This includes creating timelines, managing vendors, handling setup and breakdown, and troubleshooting any issues that arise—so you don’t have to.
A Wedding Planner is involved in the entire planning process—from budgeting to vendor selection and design. A Day-Of Coordinator steps in closer to the wedding (usually 4–8 weeks out) to manage the timeline and logistics on the actual day, based on your plans.
Most Wedding Day Coordinators begin working with the couple about 4 to 6 weeks before the wedding to review plans, create a detailed timeline, confirm vendor details, and conduct a venue walk-through.
Yes, I typically run or assist with the rehearsal the day before the wedding to ensure everyone knows where to be, when, and what to do during the ceremony.

Day-Of Coordinator: Technically only works on the day-of (though most start earlier), often with minimal involvement beforehand. A Wedding Coordinator is a middle ground—helping you tie up loose ends and making sure everything is in place before the big day.
I typically begin working with couples the moment you contract me, but I offer flexible options depending on your needs. The goal is to give you enough time to relax while I finalize everything.

Yes! Travel agents often have access to exclusive rates, upgrades, free breakfast, resort credits, or early check-in/late checkout through partnerships and travel networks.
It depends. Many hotel bookings don’t have a fee because I’m paid by the hotel, not by you. However, for custom itineraries, trip planning, or special services, there may be a small planning fee—which I’ll always explain upfront.
I’ll explain the cancellation policies before you book. If you need to make changes, I’ll handle that for you and work with the hotel to avoid or minimize fees whenever possible.

That depends on the booking method. Sometimes payment goes directly to the hotel; other times I handle it through a secure travel supplier. I’ll always explain how and when payment is made.

A destination wedding is a wedding held in a location away from the couple’s hometown, often in a different country or a scenic location like a beach, mountain resort, or cultural city. It combines a wedding with a travel experience—for both the couple and their guests.
Ideally, you should start planning 12–18 months in advance, especially if you're inviting guests internationally. This gives you time to secure the venue, lock in group rates, and allow your guests to plan travel.
No, guests typically pay for their own travel and hotel accommodations. However, couples often help by arranging group rates, room blocks, or providing recommendations to make it easier and more affordable.
Most destination weddings have 30 to 70 guests, though it varies. Because of the travel involved, the guest list often becomes more intimate.
It depends on the location and guest count. On average, a destination wedding can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $30,000+, often less than a traditional hometown wedding because of the smaller guest list. All-inclusive resort packages can be particularly cost-effective.
Some popular destination wedding spots include: Mexico (Cancun, Tulum, Los Cabos) Caribbean (Jamaica, Dominican Republic, St. Lucia) Hawaii Italy (Tuscany, Amalfi Coast) Greece (Santorini) Bali Thailand Costa Rica The best location depends on your budget, travel preferences, and legal requirements
It depends on where you’re from and where you marry. Some countries require specific documents, residency periods, or legal translations. Many couples choose to do the legal ceremony at home and a symbolic ceremony abroad to simplify the process.
It’s highly recommended. A local or destination wedding planner knows the area, vendors, legalities, and logistics. Many resorts also include an on-site wedding coordinator in their packages.
Yes, many all-inclusive resorts offer destination wedding packages that include the venue, officiant, flowers, cake, photographer, and more. These packages are cost-effective and reduce planning stress.
Consider: Your budget and your guests’ budgets Legal marriage requirements Weather and best travel seasons Travel logistics (flights, passports) Style/vibe (beach, historic, adventure, luxury) No worries, I will help you with this process
Key info to include: Travel dates and location Hotel booking details Passport/visa info Flight tips or group travel options Itinerary (welcome events, excursions, ceremony) RSVP deadlines Travel insurance recommendations I have a mini site for your guests to book their accommodations so there's no worries or stress on your part
A symbolic ceremony has no legal standing—it’s purely ceremonial. Many couples choose to legally marry at home before traveling, then have a symbolic destination ceremony with guests. This avoids legal red tape in a foreign country.
Always have a backup plan—most venues offer an indoor option or a covered area in case of weather issues. Your coordinator will help manage this and communicate any changes to guests.
Yes, There will be travel protection include in your group booking, however a guest can aways purchase additional insurance if needed
Yes! Many couples host a welcome dinner, group excursions (like snorkeling or wine tours), or farewell brunches. These events make the experience more memorable and help guests feel appreciated.
That’s up to you. You can choose a family-friendly venue or go with adults-only. Just be clear about this on your wedding website or invitation.
Most brides bring their dress as carry-on luggage. Décor and items can be rented locally, provided by the resort, or brought in with planning. Shipping internationally is possible but can be expensive and risky due to customs.
Yes, some cruise lines offer legal ceremonies, but rules vary depending on the country where the ship is registered. Many cruise weddings are symbolic, with the legal paperwork done before or after.
Packages vary, but often include: Ceremony setup and décor Officiant Bouquet and boutonniere Wedding cake Coordinator services Private reception or dinner Many packages are customizable with add-ons for photographer, music, upgraded flowers, or extra guests.
Absolutely, I'm here to help simplify the process, secures group rates, helps guests book easily, and acts as a point of contact. They can also coordinate with the wedding planner or resort to streamline everything.
