Testimonials

Client Reviews

We’ve helped thousands of couples!

from WeddingWire Reviews

“Destify was incredibly helpful for me and my fiancé. In just one week, she helped us make more progress than we had managed in months on our own. We simply told her our preferred location, wedding size, and price range, and she provided us with various options to choose from. This made the process so much easier, saving us from having to research everything ourselves and become overwhelmed!”

– Shade B. 5/24

from Google Reviews

“Our wedding planner was exceptional. Our experience was great. The wedding dinner was so good and the resort was beautiful. We had about 70 guests stay at the same resort and everybody enjoyed their stay! Thank you”

– Mona A. 6/24

from WeddingWire Reviews

“On our initial call, I explained my dream destination wedding and she was quick to find a few to send over briefly after our phone call. She knew just what I wanted; I fell in love with one of the locations sent over (her one and only email she had to send over!). She was always available and super helpful/ informative. Total amount of time it took from the moment I was on destify to the moment I reserved my dream destination wedding within a week!”

– Destinee A. 1/24

from The Knot Reviews

“I did not even know where to start when planning a destination wedding. I am very limited on planning time due to being in grad school and I am so glad I found Destify. I worked with Gabby who was absolutely amazing! She constructs a list of resorts that meet what you are looking for after a short phone call with her. She offered to send a whole new list of resorts if we did not like any in the first set. She was always available for a phone call and responded to emails so fast. She did all of the initial communication with the resort and sends you all the information about resorts to help you narrow down your top resort! Once in contact with the resort, they pretty much do all the heavy lifting for you. If you are questioning going through Destify… DO IT!”

– Olivia F. 7/24

from Google Reviews

“Destify has made booking my destination wedding, extremely quick and easy. From the get-go, Gabby was able to find me exactly what I was looking for when all I knew was that I wanted a “Jungle Wedding”. Then Jean has been a huge help when my guests decided they wanted to add rooms/change their RSVP. He was quick, and ever-so polite. Lastly, Kelly has given me constant, amazing help every time something seemed to go wrong. I’m so thankful to have had this team assist me, and highly recommend them and this company to anyone who is even toying with the idea of a destination wedding.”

– Shannon A. 6/24

from WeddingWire Reviews

“Alison… WOW! She has been such a huge help with booking our dream destination wedding. Has helped me look and research several hotels until we found the perfect one. I can’t recommend them enough. My wedding website is up and ready for my guest to book their travels !! 10/10”

– Nicole C. 2/23

from The Knot Reviews

“Our experience with Destify has been extremely positive. Michelle has been so helpful with helping us select a location, date, and resort that worked for us. She really took time to understand what it is we wanted for our wedding and made sure that the resort matched exactly what we were looking for. Her communication over email has been fantastic and she has been very patient with us after we have changed our minds last-minute on the resort. I was very surprised to hear their services were free given the amount that they assisted with, and has helped us save money on hiring an actual wedding planner to book everything. Would definitely recommend Destify to anyone who is planning a destination wedding.”

– Kimberly M. 6/24

from Google Reviews

“Destify really made our 20 year wedding vow renewal planning smooth, easy to communicate with & it turned out amazing! I would recommend Destify to all who’s planning for a destination wedding. Thank you Destify!!! ❤️”

– Cheryl M. 6/24

from The Knot Reviews

“Alison with Destify has been an absolute dream to work with! I had reached out to four other companies about wedding packages before finding Destify and Alison answered all of my questions within a 15 minute phone conversation that I couldn’t get answered from other companies within weeks of phone calls and emails. Not only did she email me updates but she would text me as well so I could be as informed of the process as possible. Any questions I have had since booking with Destify she has been right there to answer them and even fielded the questions the resort had when I was out of town for a funeral. I would recommend Destify to anyone especially if you are planning a destination wedding!”
