Destination Wedding Process

What is the process and what does Pose Destination Weddings do exactly?


We are a full service Travel Agency and can offer any type of hotel, airline, car rental booking etc.
The difference is we choose to specialize 99.9% of our time on booking group travel packages for Destination Weddings.

We are located in BC but we work with brides and grooms across Canada, that's the bonus about technology!

The full process can take some explaining however here is some bullet points on what makes us different and how we help bride and grooms achieve their goals and make their DW a realty!


- Choosing a Resort:

There are hundreds of Resorts available in the Caribbean and it doesn’t make sense sending away for quotes just because they look nice. Budget is an essential component for most groups so we figure out the target cost that each guest should pay for their travel and recommend resorts which should come in within their groups price range.

The number of Resorts in the Caribbean is staggering! Here are some of the Riviera Mayan , Mexico Resorts

- Dates, discuss if there are any particular dates that are preferred or not preferred and based on the time of the year this can also relate to budget.
Included in this date choosing is confirming a wedding date and making an introduction to the Resorts onsite wedding coordinator, where you will then plan your wedding with her for the rest of the duration.

- Once we have a confirmed price per person, information documents are sent out to all prospective guests and we handle all questions relating to travel and RSVP. The price we provide is per person and includes everything: Flights, accommodation, transfers and all taxes and fees.

- From here the bride and groom can work with the on-site wedding coordinator to confirm which wedding package - different from the group travel package they are going to chose for their wedding.

This includes multiple options;
What time the reception will be, what kind of cake, options on photography etc. An example of this is the exclusive wedding package we have created with the Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda - Strike a Blue Pose Wedding Package

For our services we don’t charge an additional “fee” to the bride and grooms who book their wedding through Pose DW. Other Travel Agencies sometimes offer a “Premium” Service Package where they will “Plan” your wedding and charge a few thousand for doing so.

This is fine, however we don’t see the need to double up. The Resorts we book groups to always have an onsite wedding co-ordination which is included in your wedding package, they will arrange and assist all of the details of their special day, flowers, linen colors, wedding location etc. We don’t feel a need to get the information from the bride and groom and relay this to the Resort.

Throughout the entire process from our first interaction to day of travel we are always here to help when needed and our first hand experience with Destination Weddings is always included complimentary.
