Destination Wedding

TRAVEL PLANNING

Cut Through The Red Tape (And All The Stress)

As an award-winning travel agency trusted by modern, fun-loving couples, we handle the details that turn your paradise wedding dreams into a reality.

We get it. Destination weddings have such a unique allure to them (we’re huge fans, obvi!) It’s a multi-day celebration where you can spend more time with the people you love most AND keep your guest list smaller (without any of the guilt!)  But now you’re feeling stuck trying to figure out how to make that dream into a reality. 

But you’ve realized you’re no longer just responsible for just having a good time yourself. You have to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for 50-60 people you love - the kind of experience they won't mind shelling out their own $$ for. Eep. It’s enough to cause mid-brunch panic attacks.  There’s so much more involved with a destination wedding than simple trip planning and you’re feeling in over your head – especially with friends & family coming at you with questions from every direction… but help is on the way.

Sure, you’re a well-seasoned traveler. 

You've been on vacations with your parents or even planned some trips on your own – and you’ve never needed a travel agent before.

If planning a wedding is hard ( and it is!  )  planning a destination celebration is off the flippin’ charts.

But why do I need to use a travel agent for my destination wedding?

We get it. Technically, you can find a resort and book your wedding dates on your own. But planning a destination wedding isn’t like taking any old trip.  And Alpaca Your Bags Travel isn't like any old travel agency.

Adding an experienced travel agent to your team means having an expert to:

Prep and manage all of the unexpected travel “what ifs?” for your AND your guests

Negotiate all the perks and amenities you may not have even known were possible (and things are better when they're free!)

Utilize their connections with the BEST resorts and destinations (connections honed over nearly a decade in the industry)

Handle the nitty-gritty and tedious details of travel planning, as well as all guest communication

Provide a personalized - not commercialized - travel experience where we treat your guests like our own friends and family

"Our guests worked directly with Ashley on travel booking, which took the stress away from us."

She kept us organized with a spreadsheet that listed all of our guests, their travel information, their hotel stay information, travel insurance information, etc., etc. All of our guests worked directly with Ashley on travel bookings, which took a lot of stress away from us. I cannot recommend hiring a travel coordinator, and hiring Ashley enough!

– Amy O. 

Think of us as your uber-organized BFF who will plan AND give you expert help for surviving all the travel craziness that comes with having a wedding elsewhere. 

People say we’re fun, friendly, and more than a little quirky – but we know how to get the job done. Our goal is to provide you with a memorable, stress-free experience where you KNOW you and your guests are being well taken care of.  We give you peace of mind, so you can relax and enjoy the experience of celebrating in paradise. To do that, let's get started with a complimentary planning call. Let's dish about your dreams, your unique-to-you style and the kind of memories you want to make with your guests.

YES, PLEASE

“I could not imagine what it would have been like – regarding all of the questions our guests had – if my husband and I hadn't hired AYBT."

They reached out to Ashley directly, and most of the time we didn't even know they were communicating with her, but I know she was extremely helpful with our friends and family - not only with booking their stays, flights, and transportation - but also with helping with passport situations, last minute cancellations, and so much more.

– Caitlyn T.

We’re not for everyone…and we like it that way.

We are a boutique agency, accepting only a limited number of couples each year so that we can continue to provide the kind of extremely hands-on service we’re known for.  Unlike our “no fee” counterparts, we’re here to answer questions and do our best to honor special requests. We're not the cheapest choice and we don't plan the cheapest destination weddings. We also don't churn through clients. We’ll work closely with you, providing you with the kind of honest advice and “big sister” guidance you get from someone who truly cares. 

It's an entirely different experience – and, according to our couples, worth every penny. 

DID WE JUST BECOME TRAVEL SOUL MATES?

HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT

We           do:

minimally-trained agents

same-old tired resort pushing

“cheapest resort possible” bookings

disrespect of our in-destination partners

The Complete Destination Wedding Checklist

AYBT is exclusively for couples who are…

good humans with busy jobs and not enough time to plan the wedding they deserve

planning a destination celebration with a rough idea of their vision for it

wanting to craft a fun + safe travel experience for their family and friends; but don't want to crowdsource it from the internet

in need of someone equipped with extensive experience in planning, organization, and trusted vendor relationships

looking forward to quality time with family and friends, not just a one-day, aesthetic event

Sound like you?You’re just our type. 

LET'S BEGIN

Traveling - by its very nature - can sometimes come with the unexpected, but we’ve mastered the secret to managing travel stress: preparation.   We plan experiences that are minimal-stress – every step of the way – by ensuring you know exactly what to expect. All you have to do is dream your dream, make your choices, and enjoy the ride. 

Travel Stress

Minimalized

From consultation to celebration,

we have your back.

What To Expect

The Alpaca Process

THE NEXT STEP

GET IN TOUCH

If you feel like a ball of stress and anxiety right now, help is on the way.  During your free, no-pressure phone call, we’ll take you by the hand and lead you through the entire process. When you leave the call, you just might discover your jaw has finally unclenched.  

CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE

Destination weddings are NOT one size fits all. In this FUN part of the process, we’ll use our experience and expertise to determine the country, region, and resort/venue that suits your wants and desires.  We have detailed information on MANY resorts and destinations, and if we don’t have it, we can get the most up-to-date, accurate info (and fast!), so that you make the right decision for you. 

PACK YOUR BAGS

By this point, we’ve taken your general vision of “whens” and “wheres” and figured out the specifics. Now we’re going to single-handedly tackle the “how” for you.  We’ll handle all communication and negotiation with the venue for contracts, deadlines, special requests, etc. Then we’ll build your project management board – where we keep track of all big and small to-dos going forward.

CELEBRATE ACCORDINGLY

Our job is to bring your travel vision to life, and we take our job very seriously. No matter what hiccups may come - and hiccups are an inherent part of travel – you can rest easy knowing your loved ones are in good hands.  All that’s left to do is relax, remain present, and enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“I know when we say ‘we couldn’t have done it without the Alpaca team’ it sounds like an exaggeration, but it truly isn’t! 

My husband and I could never have pulled off our destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with 85+ guests without Ashley and the entire Alpaca Your Bags team. Whether it was dealing with our nonstop questions (coming from myself, guests, family, etc.), helping to reschedule all our guests due to COVID, or even just answering quick texts while we were in Mexico, Ashley and the team helped make our experience as smooth as it could have ever been. 

– Rachel K. 

As an award-winning boutique travel agency, Alpaca Your Bags Travel is the fun, off-beat, tech-savvy alternative travel agency modern couples trust with their destination weddings and celebrations. We’ve got your back, so you can breathe easy and enjoy your day in paradise.

Destination Wedding Planning

Your expert destination wedding travel agent.

You're in love with the most amazing partner—and you're so ready to celebrate your love with an ultra romantic, utterly indulgent destination wedding shared with your family and friends.

What you're not so in love with? Just how dang  hard  it is to plan the "I Do" escape of your dreams.

I'm Jodi Schlichting

YOUR ALL-INCLUSIVE RESORTS DESTINATION WEDDING TRAVEL AGENT.

I founded EverAfter Travel to help more couples embark on their dream destination weddings to the Caribbean and Mexico with total ease (can you feel yourself saying  ahhh  already?).

In fact, I only take on a limited number of clients at a time, so I can ensure every couple I work with gets the individualized attention they deserve—because that’s what leads to a dream-come-true “I Do”!

So if you’re yearning to tie the knot in a beach-y paradise, but—

You feel like you’re drowning in a sea of open tabs as you try to sift through the mountain of resort options online …

You don’t want to settle for “good enough”—because you and your beau deserve WAY better than that for your big day …

You're tired just thinking about coordinating all of the travel logistics for your guests ...

then you've come to the right place.

I’m here to make all your travel happily ever afters come true—and all you have to do? Sit back, relax, and share your destination wedding dreams with me.

"Before I reached out to EverAfter Travel, I had researched probably every resort in all of Mexico. None of them were meeting the mark unfortunately and I couldn't make a decision. I talked with Jodi and she asked me the right questions to help me figure out what it was I even wanted. She artfully picked the perfect resort for us and made sure we had all the information, and helped us even schedule a trip to go check it out before making the big decision. All of this was so new, and to have a partner in the planning was a true gift. I will keep recommending EverAfter Travel to everyone I know!"

Love at First Travel where do I even start. From the very beginning planning stages Keana was my right hand man getting organized to have a wedding out of country. I placed my ‘type a’ style trust (or lack of being able to let go of control) in her and she was there every step of the way. I’m talking minimal time between responses, even late at night and over weekends (which is not necessary, but to a stressed bride it was so appreciated) impressed me to the max.  The actual wedding and travel went off better then I could have expected -the whole time I felt like I had a cheerleader on my side keeping things running smoothly. - Becca, Bride

"I don't plan on getting married again, but if I did, I would choose Keana + Love at First Travel a Million Times Over!"

Keana was amazing to work with, the resort was incredible and travel days went better than I could have expected (traveling with sunwing) - all thanks to her expertise/organization and knowing how to reassure a stressed bride. Keana sorted out travel plans for 40 guests, and kept me in the loop the whole time and never made anyone feel like we were nuisance, especially when I asked a million questions. Everyone that booked through her had no issues! Thank you so much for being a part of making our wedding be so special!! - Krystal, Bride

"Thank you so much for being a part of making our wedding be so special!"

Keana was very helpful with our destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in May 2022. She was quick to respond (even on weekends!) to any questions our guests had, kept us updated on any rules/laws regarding travel during Covid times, and ensured all our travel documents were set for the trip. She made travel plans for my destination wedding super easy and stress-free! Definitely recommend Love at First Travel for your destination wedding! - Patricia, Bride

"We Definitely Recommend Love at First Travel for Your Destination Wedding!"

Keana was awesome throughout the entire process from the selection of resorts to collecting payments (from over 40+ guests) all the way to getting our kickbacks when we got home Keana was there to help. My wedding truly was a dream come true & I'm so happy Keana was able to help make that happen! - Kathlene, Bride

"Our wedding truly was a dream come true"

Wedding Travel Gets You Where You're Going

Before your big day even arrives, it's important to think about wedding travel. Whether you're planning a destination wedding or your honeymoon. You might need some help with all the details surrounding your travel.

If you're planning a destination wedding, you'll need to choose where you want to go, how many guests you'll be inviting, and a venue at least 12 months before your wedding. You should also send out invites early (about 2-3 months before the wedding). This will allow guests to RSVP and make plans to travel.

For your honeymoon, you'll need to decide whether you want to leave for your honeymoon immediately after the ceremony or wait a while to save up some cash. Either way there are plenty of national and international travel options for your honeymoon. On average, couples begin planning their honeymoon about six months before they plan on traveling. This is the time to set a budget, choose dates, research destinations, and find a reputable travel agent (if needed). If you'd like more information on popular honeymoon destinations or where to have your perfect destination wedding, take a look at our fantastic honeymoon guide .

Honeymoon Spots and Destination Weddings

Our guide gives you a look at some great travel destinations based on you and your spouse's style and preferences, with pricey and more budget-friendly ways to experience a destination wedding or see the world as a married couple.

• For your destination wedding , these are all great options, but here are a few more things to consider when picking a wedding location.
• Pick a location that's easy travel friendly . Traveling to an unfamiliar area can be hard enough, you don't want guests to get overwhelmed trying to locate their hotel and venue.
• Don't invite everyone a ton of people . Wedding and travel expenses will grow with every person who comes to your wedding. For some, that's possible, but the ideal guest number for a destination wedding is between 40 and 50.
• Get a wedding planner . Planning a wedding is hard enough when it's local. If you can't travel to scout venues or negotiate with vendors, a wedding planner familiar with the area can be a huge help!

If you're a lover of classical history and architecture, think about traveling to Europe. As a smaller continent and a universal currency, it's easier to travel from country to country. Europe has everything from bustling cities to quiet countrysides and fabulous beaches. Check out popular our European honeymoon destinations .

If you're looking for the perfect island paradise, try Hawaii, the Caribbean, or the South Pacific. The Hawaiian Islands are known around the world for their beautiful tropical landscapes and perfect beaches. The best part is you don't need a passport to get there! Though if you're into a more international island adventure, the Caribbean is a great option for those who like the Atlantic while the South Pacific has all of the gorgeous scenery and oceanscapes fed by the Pacific Ocean. Find the perfect destination on our travel inspiration page for Hawaii , the Caribbean , and South Pacific honeymoon destinations .

If you want to stay a little closer to home, take a look at some great American destinations. Both the eastern and western coastal states have miles of endless beaches, as do the gulf states. National and state parks are a great and cheap way to explore nature and see native wildlife. There's also plenty of history to discover across the country from the colonial era, to the civil war, and westward expansion. Take a look at popular North America travel destinations here!

Mexico is another great option with beautiful resorts in Cabo and Cancun. Whether you just want to lounge in the sand, explore ocean reefs, or learn a bit more about Mexico's eclectic history, there's honestly something from every walk of like. Look at other popular Mexican honeymoon destinations on the travel inspiration page.

Once you've picked a travel destination (about five months before you leave), you can begin planning. Around four months before you leave, you should book all of your travel accommodations and find out what documents you need to travel. If you're going abroad, make sure your passport is up to date and that you have all necessary visas and vaccines. Two months before departure, you should be confirming all documents, reservations, and planning & booking activities for your trip. A month before, you should find transportation to and from the airport if needed and any other honeymoon essentials. Then it's just packing your bags and heading off to your great adventure.

National News | Widow of man electrocuted in Mexico resort hot tub files wrongful-death lawsuit

The wrongful-death lawsuit, obtained by People, details Lizette Zambrano’s desperate attempt to yank her husband, Jorge Guillen, from the water as he collapsed and got sucked to the bottom of the tub at Sonoran Sea Resort in Puerto Peñasco, an hour south of the U.S. border. It was about 8:30 p.m. local time last Tuesday as the couple prepared to watch the sunset after arriving at the high-rise-condo complex for a family vacation.

Zambrano “sprang forward from the pool deck to try and grab Jorge’s body from the jacuzzi,” alleges the complaint filed in El Paso County, according to People. “However, upon touching Jorge and the water, Lizette was electrically shocked.”

Other guests pulled 35-year-old Zambrano out of the water, but every attempt to grab Guillen, 43, shocked them, too, the lawsuit states.

“Patrons attempted to assist, grabbing a shepherd’s cross and other items,” the lawsuit said. “However, the metal from the objects carried the electrical current and began shocking the rescuers.”

Moreover, the suit alleges, it took 10 minutes for hotel staff to answer the guests’ cries for help as every attempt to pluck Guillen from the bottom of the tub shocked him anew.

“ It’s absolutely terrifying ,” said Tej Paranjpe, an attorney at PMR law in Houston. “There was not a single staff member that did anything while Jorge was getting continuously shocked again and again underwater.”

Zambrano is seeking $1 million in damages from Casago International, a vacation-rental provider, and the travel company High Desert Travel, both based in Arizona. Neither company was responding to requests for comment on Monday. The General Prosecutor’s Office of Justice of the State of Sonora is investigating the incident.

“There is no reason this should have happened ,” Paranjpe said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. “Hotels and resorts have a duty to ensure guest safety. At no point did resort staff think to engage an emergency shut-off, not to mention warn guests of a faulty, dangerous amenity.”

Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup Celebrate Their Second Wedding in Mexico City

They officially tied the knot last June at a Manhattan courthouse.

The couple first met in 2017 on the set of Netflix series Gypsy , and kept their relationship private until they walked the red carpet together at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2022. Of their first wedding, Watts said , "nothing was planned because we wanted to keep it low-key," and she even got her flowers from a bodega. She added, "We found each other later than… yeah, late in life. And it’s really a special thing."

Their second wedding was a more opulent affair, an exquisite venue adorned with gothic arches, quatrefoils, crystal chandeliers, and baroque paintings.

Ben Watts—the brother of the bride, and a photographer and director—captured and shared a few videos on his Instagram. In one, which has since been deleted, the family is seen walking down the aisle. Watts, radiant in a sparkling, open-back white gown, holds hands with Crudup, who smiles warmly at his bride in a classic black suit as they exchange vows at the altar.

The two remaining videos on Ben's instagram including an amusing composition of the wedded couple and their guests smiling while they realize Ben is taking a video and not a photo, and a shot of the couple and their family in the elevator, waving goodbye.

Pictured in the second video are Naomi's two children that she shares with ex Liev Schreiber , Sasha, 16 years old, and Kai, 15 years old. Crudup's son William, who he shares with ex wife Mary Louise Parker , was also seen at the wedding.

During what appeared to be their reception, Watts tells the crowd, "This is a reminder of what life's about. The affirmation of love has been one of the simplest things but the most important."

International travel documents for children

See what documents a child needs to travel to or from the U.S. alone or with a parent or relative.

Children traveling to the U.S.

All children, including infants, must have their own travel documents such as a passport or document from a Trusted Traveler Program to enter the U.S. If you travel or are going to travel with a child, consider taking the following documents:

• If the child is traveling with only one of their custodial parents, they must have a letter of consent, preferably in English and notarized, from the other parent or signed by both parents. The letter should say "I acknowledge that my son/daughter is traveling outside the country with [the name of the adult] with my permission."
• If one parent has sole custody of the child, a copy of the custody document can take the place of the other parent's letter.
• Parents who frequently cross the border by land with a minor must always carry a letter of permission from the other parent.

U.S. citizen children traveling abroad

Ports of entry in many countries have security measures to prevent international child abduction . If you are traveling alone with your child, you may be required to present documentation proving you are the parent or legal guardian. You may also need a letter of permission from the other parent for your child to travel. 

If your child travels alone, depending on the country, they may be required to present a notarized letter from both parents or their legal guardian. If a minor is traveling abroad and is not accompanied by both parents or a legal guardian, contact the embassy or consulate of the country you will be visiting and ask about entry and exit requirements for that country.
