Not at all! We assist with destination wedding venue searches across the Americas, from Caribbean beachfront resorts to historic estates in Latin America.

Absolutely. We can step in at any stage to review options, provide new recommendations, or evaluate the venues you’ve already visited. If you already have some tours under your belt, we'll start with a deep dive of everything you liked and didn't like about each one before we jump into new recommendations.

Perfect! It's ideal to be flexible at this stage of the process.

We’ll help you narrow down your preferred time of year and work with venues to explore availability windows. If you add Venue Hunt as an add-on to our Wedding Coordination, Partial Wedding Planning, or Full Service Wedding Planning packages, we will reserve a few dates for you until we lock in your official wedding date.
