Honeymoons & Destination Weddings
There is probably no trip in your lifetime that will be as important as your Honeymoon or Destination Wedding.
HONEYMOONS: Traveling is all about the Memories and there is no more important memory than one's Honeymoon. We recently arranged a client's 50th Anniversary trip to Italy. In the process of doing so, these people made several references to their honeymoon trip to Hawaii back in 1960!
That's how important the honeymoon is to one's "Life Experience"!
Gateway Express has guided Honeymooners for 25 years. Helping you decide WHERE to go, in terms of a destination as well as the perfect specific locale at that destination is vital. Then, chosing the perfect resort or hotel for your lifestyle and budget is the trickiest part.
- Every resort in the world "looks great" on their website. Of course, not all are! Do you know the difference?
- Even among the finest resorts, there are vast differences in clientele and atmosphere. What surrounding suits you best?
Here's an example of how our Honeymoon Clients regard our service...
"I can’t thank Fran and Gateway Express enough for setting up a stress-free honeymoon. You have no idea how badly we needed that after the wedding! The service at the resort Fran suggested was purely outstanding. I could write forever on all the good things we experienced! The details that Fran handled including the transportation elements (airplane, shuttles, buses, vouchers) were flawless. The trip was everything we wanted it to be. Overall, we give it a 9.5 out of 10! Thank you, Fran, for setting it all up for us!"
We bring our experience and the experiences of scores of previous honeymooners with us to suggest options that you may not have considered.
DESTINATION WEDDINGS: All the above applies to Destination Weddings as well... times 10. In addition to the task of guiding you to the right place, we have a great deal of experience with all the vital details of wedding planning.
- The shortest route to disaster is choosing a resort that is not experienced in weddings. Most resorts claim to be good at wedding hosting... in fact, there are very few that are really good at it. Do you know which ones they are? We do!
- Getting your wedding party there in a timely fashion can be trickier than you might think. Espcially when attendees are coming from varied cities... and especailly where winter travel is involved. Where most do-it-yourselfers think only of cheap fares we, too, are very price-conscious. But, in addition to finding great fares, we know the tricks of minimizing the risks of getting stuck along the way. And, we coordinate arrivals & departures so that land transfers are faster and more efficient.
Come to the experts! Gateway Express counselors Dee Bauer and Fran Syvrud are experienced in working with prospective newly-weds and, more importantly, the resort's on-site staff. Put yourself in "professional hands"!
Note: The three El Dorado Resorts along Mexico's Riviera Maya are among our favorite Wedding Sites. Watch our video clip on El Dorado Weddings!
Summer Honeymoon?
Some newlyweds are okay with the heat and humidity of Mexico or the Caribbean during the summer... but others, not so much. We have a couple great ideas for laid back sunny beach honeymoons in more moderate climates. Take a look
