My husband and I always knew we wanted to be married on a beach, but what we didn't know was how hard it was to plan a destination wedding. We were overwhelmed with thinking about flowers, cake, dj's, personal touches, etc that goes in to a wedding. Then we realized on top of that we were going to have a major language barrier with a wedding in another country. Double the hoops and double the steps. My sister in law found reviews for Michelle at Vacations in Paradise online, and she recommended I give her a call. Best call I ever made...EVER! I was the bride that wanted to save pennies wherever I could, and was not sure if a travel agent was in my budget. If this is your mindset, I promise, you will spend more money with out booking her. I swear she has connections with every resort ever built. So, fast forward, and here I was now with a travel agent and no clue what I was doing, what I wanted, or where I wanted to get married. I met with Michelle a few times (yes she actually met with me 3 different times after work to look through pictures of EVERY resort in Cancun-literally), before we found ""THE"" resort. We were needy. We were basically ""that couple"". We wanted a wow factor, with out the price. We wanted it all and we got it all with Michelle B. Michelle was amazing and patient. She talked to all of our friends and families and helped everyone book flights, rooms, arrange transportation, and even went above and beyond. She mailed out gifts to every guest with a travel bag, itinerary, do's and dont's, and goodies. Every guest called and asked me where I found Michelle and if they could take her home. My answer was always- ""she's mine"" :) It was perfect! She also sent us a very nice leather book with everything we would need to know about the resort(and more). It was a very nice professional touch. The wedding was absolutely perfect, the resort was amazing, the accommodations are still talked about, and most importantly no hitches in any travel plans. Did I mention she got every guest free transportation from the airport to the hotel, round trip. Trust me, when guests are spending money to come to your wedding, they like to save too. If you want someone who can help you with your wedding, when you yourself don't even know what you want- she is your lady. I would recommend her to anyone and I do. She probably wanted to kill me a few times, but I never felt that from her. She is a true professional and has a great heart. In all honesty I am not one to do reviews, but she is definitely worth it. By the end of it, we were even getting her address so we could mail her an invitation to our wedding. I promise, you will not regret using her. Not only is she good at helping guests, but she is worth gold to translate your needs to the resort. I wouldn't trade her for the world, and I am still in contact with her today. Thank you Michelle for giving us the wedding that was better than our dreams.\r
