Weddings & Honeymoons
Destination weddings and honeymoons, within your budget
Keith Wilson plans the wedding week and the honeymoon after, so your wish becomes the plan and the budget stays yours.
Destination wedding planning, start to finish
We know that getting married is one of the exciting and memorable times in one's lifetime. Keith will help you plan the destination wedding of your dreams, and he starts with the questions that shape everything else: how many guests, what time of year, and how much of the trip you want to carry yourselves.
A destination wedding asks your guests to travel, so the plan has to work for them as well as for you. Keith thinks about who is flying in from where, how long they can be away, and how to keep the week easy enough that people arrive rested and happy to be there.

The honeymoon after
A honeymoon is a different trip from the wedding, and it deserves its own plan. Some couples want the wedding and honeymoon in one place. Others want to be somewhere completely new and quiet the day after the last guest leaves. Keith can plan it either way, from a cruise to an all-inclusive resort to a private island stay.
He also pays attention to the plain logistics that get lost in the excitement of a wedding week: travel documents, flight timing the morning after, and how many hours you will really have in the first place once the celebration winds down.
Within your budget, said out loud
Keith's promise is simple: your wish is his command, and within your budget too. Weddings tend to grow, and a budget is easiest to protect when you say it out loud on the first call and again at every decision. Tell Keith the number you are comfortable with, and he will plan toward it instead of around it.

The first conversation
Two trips, one plan
The wedding and the honeymoon can share a destination or be planned apart. Either way, it helps Keith to hear about both on the first call, so the two fit together.
