Planning a destination wedding? Then you're probably on the hunt for the best travel expert to guide you through the process. After all, the right destination wedding travel agent is not just someone who books flights and hotels, they're your partner, your sounding board, and the one who helps keep everything organized from start to finish.

Here are six important questions to ask when interviewing your potential destination wedding travel agent:

What is your experience with destination weddings?

This is a must-ask!! You'll feel so much more confident knowing your go-to person has years of hands-on experience and has successfully planned weddings just like yours.

Have you been to the destinations and resorts I'm interested in?

Personal recommendations are gold! If your travel agent has stayed at or toured the resorts on your short list, they'll be able to give you insider details about the service, food, venues, wedding teams, décor options, and even little tips you won't find online.

How do you handle guest bookings and keep everything organized?

Moving 60 (or more!) people from point A to point B might sound overwhelming, but for an experienced wedding travel expert, it's just part of the job. Ask for examples of how they manage group reservations for rooms, airport transfers, excursions, and more.

What fees do you charge for your services?

Every wedding has a budget, so this is an important one. Some agents work at no additional cost to you, while others may charge fees ranging anywhere from a few hundred dollars up to $5000. Be clear on this upfront so you know what to expect.

Do you have a team, or do you work solo?

It's comforting to know whether your agent has an assistant or backup support in case they're out of the office or traveling. That way, you can relax knowing your questions will never go unanswered.

What are the next steps in the process?

Once you've found someone you click with, you'll want to know exactly what comes next. The right agent will lay out a clear, step-by-step game plan so you never feel like you're guessing what to do.
