With over 25 years of experience as a travel advisor, I’ve had the pleasure of helping hundreds of couples bring their dream weddings to life in some of the most breathtaking destinations around the world. But I’m not just a planner — I’m also a destination wedding bride who planned my own big day! I know firsthand the excitement (and yes, a little stress) that comes with planning a wedding away from home, and I'm here, along with my team of experts, to guide you through every step.
My expertise lies in curating unforgettable group travel experiences, from intimate beachfront ceremonies to grand celebrations with your family and friends. I understand the ins and outs of destination wedding planning, and I’m passionate about making sure your planning experience is as fun, seamless, and stress-free as possible.
Whether you're envisioning a lavish beachfront celebration or an intimate garden ceremony just for the 2 of you (think elopement or vow renewal), the team at Destination Weddings by Julie is here to help you plan a day as unique as your love story. Looking forward to making your destination wedding not just a day to remember, but an unforgettable experience!
A destination wedding offers the perfect blend of romance, adventure, and unforgettable memories. Imagine saying "I do" with an incredible ocean view in the background, while being surrounded by your closest family and friends, not for a whirlwind 4-hour reception, but for 4 days of memory making fun! Not only does a destination wedding create a stunning backdrop for your big day, but it also doubles as a vacation for you and your guests.
And did I mention the savings?? An average wedding in a local venue can end up costing $30,000 or more. A destination wedding costs a fraction of that and gives you a wedding and honeymoon all in one (although I still recommend a separate honeymoon for just the 2 of you).
So the real question should be "Why not choose a destination wedding?"
Once you decide that this is for you, our team of experts will handle the heavy lifting by arranging all the travel details for you and your guests. This leaves you free to focus on the fun parts of planning - like dress shopping and cake flavors - my vote is red velvet!
Planning your destination wedding should feel like a breeze, not a balancing act! Let the team of experts at Destination Weddings by Julie help make your dream day come to life. Here is how we make things stress-free and fun!
Not sure where to tie the knot? We’ll present personalized destination options that fit your style, budget, and vision. Whether it’s a secluded beach or a lively resort, we’ll help you find the perfect spot to say “I do.”
Let’s be real, managing travel for family and friends can be overwhelming. That's where we come in - organizing flights, accommodations, and transportation for your entire wedding group to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.
We’ll connect you with your local onsite wedding coordinator and the best local talent — photographers, florists, DJs, and more — who are trusted, approved partners of your resort. That means no outside vendor fees and a seamless experience from start to finish.
You’ve got enough on your plate, so we’ll help manage guest communications and travel updates. From setting up a wedding website and online booking link to travel schedules and updates, we’ll make sure your guests know exactly what to expect and answer any questions they have along the way.
Why limit the fun to just one day? We’ll help you plan the ultimate wedding week with welcome parties, group excursions, and more. It’s all about creating memories for you and your guests that last long after the wedding day.
Keeping track of expenses can be stressful, but we've got you covered. We’ll help create and manage your wedding budget to ensure you stay on track while still bringing your dream day to life.
Absolutely professional and amazing.. Julie coordinated me and my husband's destination wedding at Montego Bay, Jamaica. We were accompanied by 40+ guests. Admittedly, I was was extremely apprehensive about this process. Julie is a phenom!!!!! She made our experience seamless and truly worthwhile. Our guests have shared the same sentiment. As a matter of fact, we have declared Julie as the consummate professional and plan to utlilize her services for all our future travel. She is planning our 1st anniversary trip back to Montego Bay!!!!!

We recently got married in Jamaica and worked with Julie to plan our destination wedding. I was hesitant at first to use a travel agent, but I'm so glad we found her! She was so knowledgeable and friendly and she thought of everything...even things we would have missed if we did it on our own. Our guests loved her and some are now even friends with her! She took such good care of our family and friends. It was so important to us that everyone had a great time, and they all did. Our wedding weekend was even more perfect than we could have imagined, and we couldn't have done it without her! We will be using Julie for all of our future travel plans!

I recently got married at Royalton Blue Waters in Jamaica and worked with Julie. She was amazing and helped me plan everything...and I mean every detail! I met with her several times and she always made me feel confident and at ease with the planning. She was always helpful and patient and made me feel like she really cared about my experience. Since she also had planned her own destination wedding, she not only helped with travel plans, but was also able to give me tips and advice on everything from flowers to welcome bags. We had over 50 people attend and everything was perfect. Julie thought of everything and made sure that it all ran smoothly! She joined us in Jamaica and was onsite to oversee all events. Having her there took away all my stress and I was able to just enjoy my moment. She was truly heaven sent. If you are planning ANY travel at all (especially a destination wedding or honeymoon), you have to reach out to Julie. She was incredible!

Julie is very detailed oriented and made us planning our daughters wedding effortless in less than 4 months. She paid attention to all of our needs and was able to find the perfect location - Top Notch Hotel and with the amenities we wanted. Julie takes care of it all from the beginning to the very end. Love her! I highly recommend her if you are looking to plan any trip but especially a destination wedding. I usually don't respond but if you want to plan a destination wedding and let someone take care of the details, Julie is the right person for you! She is patient and she really works for you. I will forever use her for all travel.
