Destination Weddings
And I do it all while remaining sensitive to your budget, your date preferences, and your guests’ needs.
So whether you’re dreaming of trading vows on a high-rise rooftop at sunset, picturing a reception on the softest white-sand beach imaginable, or are in search of the spiciest margaritas in all of Mexico, I’ll help you find it.
You bring the vision—I’ll bring the expertise. I help couples go from wedding dream to “I Do!” reality with total ease, by sifting through the thousands of resort options to help them find the one.
Having stepped foot on more than 30+ of the most romantic resorts throughout Mexico and the Caribbean—and with exclusive industry contacts on speed dial—I know the lay of the resort land (so you don’t have to!).
So You Can Find Your Perfect Resort Match
Expert Guidance
In fact, you’ll receive a custom wedding website that hosts all your destination wedding details; simply share it with your guests to make booking a breeze!
I also understand that your guests may be newer to international travel—and I’m here to answer all their questions so they feel confident making the trip. From passport concerns to how to navigate the airport on arrival, I’ll guide your guests with patience and understanding from the moment they reach out.
I’ll usher your guests through the entire travel process, arranging all of their resort accommodations and making sure their flights coordinate with their airport transfers.
You want to share your special day with your loved ones by your sun-kissed side—but you don’t want to be fielding last-minute questions, or having to walk Aunt Jeanne through how to book her resort room. Hand it all off to me!
So You Can Relax + Enjoy Your Big Day
Guest Management
I’ll walk you through your wedding package options, set up your room block—and make sure your guest books into it!—and communicate any special needs or requests with your resort team. If you have perks coming to you, I’ll make sure you get them. That way, when your Big Day comes, it’s all beach-y bliss, and no stress.
I’m here to act as your direct liaison with your resort, getting you the answers you need quickly and making sure you understand every last contract detail (even the fine print!).
Let me be that pro for you.
If you’ve tried reaching out to resorts on your own, you may have been met with confusing wedding packages to comb through, questions about “comps” … or even radio silence. The wedding teams at resorts are incredibly busy—so it pays to have a pro on your side to help you navigate it all.
So you can get past the resort red tape
Your industry insider
We’ll begin with a complimentary consultation call where I’ll listen to your vision—your ideal setting, your guest list, your budget, and the overall experience you want to create. This is where I gather all the important details so I can recommend options that truly reflect your love story. I’ll also share the destination wedding planning packages I offer and help you choose the one that best aligns with the level of support you’re looking for.
Dream & Design
Step One
Planning Process
My Signature
Next, I’ll present carefully selected resort options that align with your priorities. Each recommendation comes with my insider knowledge, transparent pricing, and a clear breakdown of what’s included. My goal is to help you feel confident in your decision, knowing you’ve found the right fit for both your wedding and your guests.
Personalize & Perfect
Step Two
Once your resort is chosen, I’ll serve as your liaison with the wedding team—guiding you through packages, securing your room block, and clarifying all the fine print. At the same time, I’ll take care of your guests, helping them book their accommodations, arranging transfers, and answering their travel questions. You’ll be free to enjoy the excitement of planning without the stress of managing logistics.
Coordinate & Support
Step Three
When your wedding day arrives, you’ll step into it knowing everything has been handled. From travel arrangements to resort coordination, you’ll have ongoing support behind the scenes so you can focus on celebrating with your loved ones. It’s your moment to relax, soak it all in, and say “I Do” in paradise.
Jet Set & Say “I Do!”

— Megan Hirschbuhl
“I booked my honeymoon trip with Champagne and Sunshine Vacations and will never book another trip without them! They took care of everything from booking the resort, to booking flights and everything in between. I always felt like I had nothing to worry about because we were in the best hands. They made sure we had everything ready and packed before leaving which made our travel day so much easier. I highly recommend looking over their packing list, not an item is left out! We could not recommend Jen enough and can’t wait to book another trip soon!”
“We were in the best hands.”
—Natalie Anne
“Jen is amazing at what she does. We wanted a memorable, relaxing 10-year anniversary trip, but with two young children at home and jobs we wanted to leave the planning and bookings to a pro. So happy with the whole process from the complimentary video call before you choose her for her to get an idea of what you are looking for, to making all of your reservations from hotel, plane, restaurants and excursions. Our trip to Bucuti & Tara in Aruba was exactly what we wanted! Highly recommend Jen and will definitely take advantage of her services again for future trips! Thank you!!”
“So happy with the whole process.”
—Shighla Jackson
“Jen worked with me and my MIL to plan a family vacation. She took everyone’s thoughts into the planning and came up with a brilliant vacation. Jen narrowed down the choices based on our preferences and did a zoom call with the whole family. Her presentation included everything from pictures to activities to room options. It was very impressive. I can’t wait to work with her for our next trip.”
“I can’t wait to work with her for our next trip.”
