I have been working towards this outcome for the past almost 2 years – well, really, I guess I’ve been working towards this since I started in this business – I just didn’t know it!
I have learned so much through my travels – by myself (or with Ron!), on fams or conferences, and most especially with my wonderful weddings – and have met so many incredible people in the wedding industry in Mexico and the Caribbean (some who have turned into lifelong friends), that I felt the overwhelming urge to share it with others.
I am now leading Destination Wedding Fams for travel agents across North America who also specialize in Destination Weddings. I led my first (very small) one last year to, of course, Cabo – and this fall I will be leading 4 more. I will be headed to the Riviera Maya, Jamaica, Punta Cana and Puerto Vallarta with small groups of agents so they can get familiar with the resorts and meet the on-site wedding teams and management – mainly so they can meet those in charge and ‘get to know the resort’ – and so they will feel a whole bunch more comfortable about recommending resorts to their couples.
That is why I have travelled so much – and often times to the same places/areas. Each time I would tour more resorts – get to know the management, see the rooms, taste the food (and sometimes drink the drinks, lol). Every resort can look good on paper… or on a website… But my spidey senses tingled a lot of times, if you get what I’m sayin’. Even resorts within the same ‘company’ are vastly different…
YES, I am still going to be doing Destination Weddings, Groups, and ‘regular’ travel. I love it too much to stop! I’m just adding one more job to my portfolio…

Aurelio – the very first wedding planner I dealt with 10 years ago. Together again last year!
