I'm In!
What if you could plan the biggest day of your life in a breathtaking location, surrounded by the people you love—all without the stress or overwhelm leading up to it?
I’m here to tell you, it doesn’t have to be.
You’ve picked the date, you may have a location in mind, and all that’s left is sitting down with your loved one to plan out everything. It all sounds simple, right?
Except that it can be far from that at times. When you throw in a foreign country, multiple guest travel arrangements and planning a wedding from afar,
your to-do list can feel never-ending at times.

You’ve had your wedding day in mind for as long as you can remember, but as you start to plan and research your ideal destination, you’re not quite sure how you’ll be able to bring it to life let alone have the time to plan everything.
Or perhaps you’ve picked your place, your date and the invites are out. But before you know it, your wedding guests’ questions are starting to roll in for more info on flights, accommodation, local activities, and the list goes on. You try to address them yourself but it’s hard to keep up and that wedding list is growing longer and longer.
An experience you thought you’d enjoy planning with your loved one has become more like a chore and a “let’s just get this done” type of situation. You're wondering if there’s a way to lighten the load and take some tasks off your plate so you can actually enjoy the whole process and spend time doing what you love with your partner.

"I didn't want to have to do any work in planning
this wedding, and you made that happen.
I can't explain to you how grateful I am for that!!
Thank you so much!! "

I absolutely love curating, planning and executing once-in-a-lifetime experiences in some of the world's most breathtaking destinations. I have to credit this passion for travel to my first trip (and first time ever stepping foot on a plane!) to the Big Apple back in 2013. After that, the rest was history.
Since starting DWD in 2015, I’ve been able to help over 350 couples and families plan their weddings, honeymoons and experiences to over 20 different countries. I’m committed to creating unforgettable memories and experiences for my clients all over the world without the stress and overwhelm that can come with planning a trip. Because trust me, I know what can happen and I also know how to deal with it all.
When I’m not traveling around scoping out the latest destinations and helping my clients plan their dream wedding, I can be found at home near Phoenix, Arizona loving on my husband and boy/girl twins.
When you work with me, here’s a little bit of what you can expect:
● Time back to spend on planning aspects of your wedding you enjoy.
● Travel arrangements are entirely made for you.
● All RSVPs, special requests, and guests' needs are all met.
● Up-to-date accounting to keep you under your budget.
● Peace of mind knowing everything is accounted for.
● Your wedding vision is brought to life.
and so much more!

Planning your destination wedding of your dreams should never be a one-sided process. We’ll collaborate on everything from accommodation, to activities, transportation and more—to make your wedding just what you imagined from the very beginning.
I’ll never recommend a place that’s not vetted by myself or my trusted industry colleagues. As soon as we get started, you’ll receive a specially curated list of Caribbean and Mexico destination and resort options with you and your wedding vision and overall budget in mind.
Think of me as your own personal travel concierge right at your fingertips for you and your guests. From start to finish, I’ll help you with booking and making your travel arrangements—which includes travel for your guests, too.
Sure, there’s a level of organization when it comes to planning a trip, but it can become even more complex when you throw in a wedding with 80+ guests and a foreign country in the mix. Details are my thing. From RSVPs to wedding budgets, keeping track of payments and staying on top of who owes what—hand me the reins so you can focus your energy on where it matters most.
Along with a travel concierge, you’ll have a built-in wedding planner when we work together. Not only will you have the resort wedding planning team to assist with everything in destination, but also my assistance with planning along the way. And if you wish, I can attend as on-the-ground support, too. From organizing your ceremony, obtaining legal marriage documents, guest travel arrangements, transportation—and the list goes on—I can manage everything down to a tee.
Over the years, I’ve vetted the industry’s top travel and wedding planning tools and apps to improve my clients’ experiences from start to finish. From RSVP tracking to creating customizable wedding planning timelines, itinerary apps to keep you organized when you travel, and so much more — no detail is left behind when we work together.

"Dana is absolutely the best travel designer to work with! I have booked over three trips with her in the last three years. Two trips to 2 different Sandals resorts, one being for our destination wedding, and one trip to Walt Disney World. My husband and I got married at the Sandals in Nassau and Dana helped take care of everything. Book all your trips with Dana, you will not regret it! She takes care of most everything and It results in a stress-free vacation. If you are looking for someone well-versed in destination weddings, book with Dana!"
