What are some tips for planning our Dream Honeymoon?
( and not a cookie-cutter honeymoon to a mass market resort with a million other honeymooners! )
First, What are the first steps for planning a honeymoon?
While wedding planning is often a high priority, many couples overlook the crucial step of finding an experienced honeymoon travel planner. We help you streamline the process and save valuable time and money from the very start.
How to Protect Your Investment: Why Professional Planning Matters
Renee Meyer, Owner and Founder of Unforgettable Honeymoons®, who has planned thousands of honeymoon packages over the last two decades, advises: “A honeymoon is an investment in a lifetime of memories.” To protect that investment and avoid common travel pitfalls, your first step is selecting the best professionals for honeymoon planning
Honeymoon Planning Tip #1: How do you choose the right honeymoon travel agent?
Use this checklist to vet your potential Honeymoon Travel Agent:
I. Agency Credibility & Experience
Longevity and Specialization: Choose a professional travel agency that specializes in honeymoons or romantic travel and has been in business for 10 years. They should not be based abroad; only choose reputable agencies based in the USA.
Warning: Many foreign agencies are now listing “virtual” offices in the USA What might appear to be an actual location in the States is a mailing service only. They do not have a business license or pay taxes in America.
Verified Reviews: Look for an agency with a history of positive reviews over a multi-year period on major review sites, not just a few recent ones, check Google reviews, Yelp, Wedding Wire, etc.
Should we check to make sure the travel agency is a member in good standing of the BBB?
YES, Verify they are a member in good standing with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). A reputable agency should possess a rating of A or better and feature a direct link to its BBB profile on its website.
Is IATAN Endorsement important to confirm? yes, confirm they are endorsed by IATAN (International Airlines Travel Agent Network). This is the recognized licensing for U.S. travel professionals and requires agents to carry $1 million in errors/omissions insurance. You can verify their status at iatan.org.
II. Expertise and Support- How many years honeymoon planning experience should an agent have in order to be a true expert?
Personal Travel Experience: Look for a minimum of 10 years experience, no less. Choose an agent (or an agency team member) who has personally traveled to the locations they promote. Ask to see their own photos and hear their stories; this indicates a depth of knowledge that will better prepare you for your trip.
How important is 24/7 After-Hours Support for your honeymoon? Confirm the agency provides a 24/7 emergency contact number and email for urgent matters. A truly great agency is there for its clients on evenings and weekends, providing peace of mind against unexpected snags.
A Note of Caution: Be wary of travel planning services offered by bloggers. These are often not established travel agencies and lack the years of experience and necessary insurance of a licensed firm.
Honeymoon Planning Tip #2: Define Your Budget & Flexibility
How do you we know what a good honeymoon budget would be for our destination?
An expert can help guide you on setting a budget for your destination. Generally speaking, the average honeymoon couple will spend no less than $5000 for their flights and a 5 night luxury resort stay for an All inclusive Honeymoon Package. International packages to Europe, South Pacific, or SE Asia will begin at the $8-10,000 range. For exclusive hideaways, and luxury private villas and cottages, price ranges from $10-20,000 per couple depending on location.
Before you begin planning, set a Specific Budget: Set your budget first, then confirm that trips to your desired location are financially viable with your own research or by contacting a honeymoon professional.
Should we book an all inclusive resort for our honeymoon to save money? Many couples opt for an all-inclusive resort (covering meals, drinks, tips, and water sports). This option makes your honeymoon budget highly specific and ensures you know the total cost upfront.
Should we be worried about the quality of food at an all inclusive resort for our honeymoon?
It is an important question, and the answer is yes, you should be concerned as not all-inclusive resorts have high quality dining options. An expert honeymoon advisor who is well traveled and experienced can help steer you clear of low quality all inclusive honeymoon options.
Honeymoon Planning Tip #3: How to create your honeymoon dream wish list & compromise
Schedule a dedicated honeymoon planning night to align your visions:
Review Past Travel: Discuss what you liked and disliked about previous trips.
Destination Dreams: List all the top honeymoon destinations you have both always wanted to visit.
Establish Must-Haves: Each partner should separately list three non-negotiable must-haves for the trip (e.g., beachfront room, hiking, private plunge pool).
Determine Travel Style: Discuss your preferred pace (e.g., relaxing beach solitude, meeting new people, independent exploring, or pre-scheduled excursions).
A Key Recommendation: Always choose a destination you have not visited before to experience the newness together. Bring all this information to your travel agent; a good, well-traveled agent can then present viable options that meet your criteria.
Honeymoon Planning Tip #4 & #5: Research and Finalize
Narrow Your Choices to Three: Once your agent presents 2-3 options, conduct your own final research. Check reviews, look at real traveler photos, and peruse the resort websites. Trust your gut feeling—it’s usually right.
Avoid Pressure: Do not let anyone rush your final decision. Only commit when you feel absolutely confident and excited about your choice. Any hesitation is a sign that it may not be the perfect fit.
Note: Many packages can be put on hold with a small deposit while you finalize your decision.
Do Not Solely Rely on Friends: While well-intentioned, friends’ advice is subjective. Their expectations for luxury or service may not align with yours. An experienced agent has a far broader base of comparison than the general public.
Honeymoon Planning Tip #6: Prioritize Quality—It’s Once in a Lifetime
Once you have chosen the right package, do not skimp by booking through a cheap online engine that views you as only a credit card number.
Quality is Key: The honeymoon is as important as every other element of your wedding. You invested in a quality wedding dress and photographer; apply the same logic here.
Service is Value: The cheapest option invariably provides the least amount of personal service before, during, and after travel. The dedicated service you receive from an experienced honeymoon planner is paramount to ensuring a flawless and memorable experience.
Thank you for reading our expert tips.
Quality is Key: Your honeymoon is just as vital as all other elements of your wedding. What many couples fail to realize is that the cheapest booking option almost always corresponds to the lowest level of personal service—before, during, and after travel.
The pre-honeymoon planning and support you receive from an experienced travel partner is directly linked to the success and quality of your overall honeymoon experience.
