Getting The Best Rate For Your Destination Wedding

By Marjorie Sanchez

One major concern couples face when planning a destination wedding is price and while we offer very competitive rates and unsurpassed service we do understand that there are times when you see a rate online that may seem “cheaper” than what you are being offered through our agency. One of the many services we offer is price matching.

As I have mentioned before, Easy Escapes Travel can confidently state that our agency can meet and/or beat any confirmed rates. This means we provide not just amazing service but the best prices around.

While you have spent hours searching online for the perfect agent I am sure you have noticed that most agents/destination wedding agencies charge a service fee to assist in the planning of your wedding and organize your group travel arrangements. Easy Escapes makes is easy by offering our Destination Wedding Services for free!

Certainly you have the option go to an Online Travel Agency (OTA) and find a cheap destination wedding. Just know, as with anything else in this world, you get what you pay for. Good luck with that rep at the call center in God knows where, reading off a script at times, with little or no experience in group travel let alone WEDDINGS. They can book travel arrangements, however navigating all the details from marriage requirements, updated wedding packages, concessions and getting a hold of a wedding coordinator  (whose on “island time”) incurring long distance phone charges will be completely left to you- and you thought finding the prefect dress and destination island wear for the bridal party would be your biggest stress factor.

And yes, you can probably do a group with a wholesale club nonetheless they will positively be deficient in experience and knowledge with destination weddings and in regards to group bookings, they may have only done it a handful of times- if that.

Yes there are a couple of ways to not use a professional and save a couple of bucks; but tell me, how much is your time really worth. What about your guests? What is their time worth? You owe it to yourself and your friends and family to have an easy destination wedding.

That brings me to another point- while cost is a key issue for most couples (essentially they are also thinking of their guests, which is marvelous), they all would not even think about compromising on the quality of service.  Although OTA’s and other agencies offer similar services and the same portfolio of resorts that we do, they are unable to provide equal level of knowledge, dedication and real customer service as an Easy Escapes Destination Wedding Experts can.
