Destination weddings
|
One in four couples getting married this year will plan a destination wedding! Here's why:
|
honeymoons
|
Honeymoons take many forms these days - and DWHSA members can handle the plans for all of them! Many couples opt for traditional honeymoons (usually eight days right after the wedding). "Minimoons" are shorter trips (when couples can't spare the time off work or the funds right away) with a longer honeymoon coming later. "Splitmoons" allow couples to divide a honeymoon trip between two or more destinations (one wants to soak up the sun on the beach, the other wants shops and nightlife). "Buddymoons" involve not just the couple but a few close friends/family members who take the trip together. And, there are many more options ("foodiemoons," "volunteermoons," etc.) Our members can make almost any honeymoon dreams come true!

elopements
|
Sometimes it makes more sense for couples to pack up and head out on their own to get married by themselves! Elopements are a growing trend in romance travel, especially given the challenges that COVID-19 presented to the wedding guests who might have traveled with couples in the past.
You can pick the destination, the type of ceremony, the officiant, the timing, and every other detail when it's just the two of you (or a few close friends/family members along for the trip too). Elopements can be planned far in advance or on the spur of the moment (depending on the availability of travel services). They can be as simple or detailed, as affordable or as extravagant as you wish! |
proposal/engagement trips
|
Forget the city park or the local lake. More couples say "Yes" today on proposal and engagement trips than ever before!
Once you have the ring and you've picked a destination, our members can handle the rest. They will work with you to book the trip and set up the logistics for that special day or night when you'll get down on one knee and pop the question. With their help, you can arrange a romantic dinner on the beach, a private tour in a museum, a stop at a scenic overlook, a scuba excursion - your choice of the perfect environment for proposing! Plus, they can schedule a hidden photographer to capture the "Yes" and even smuggle your friends and family along on the trip to celebrate afterwards! |
vow renewals
|
Whether you're celebrating your one-year anniversary or the landmark 25th or 50th year together, vow renewals will make the occasion even more memorable!
Some couples want to renew their vows because they couldn't afford the wedding they wanted years ago. Others just desire the romantic gesture of saying "I do" again as part of a long-delayed vacation. Our members can help you plan an elaborate full-blown wedding setup (flowers, music, a reception - the whole works) or a short-and-sweet exchange of vows for just the two of you standing by the ocean or on a rooftop overlooking your favorite city. You'll enjoy the moment so much that you may decide to do it again next year! |
anniversary trips
|
Chocolates add pounds and flowers fade away in a few days, but anniversary trips deliver memories you'll cherish the whole year around!
Why not mark this annual special occasion by escaping for a long weekend or a whole week to the place where you got married, your favorite vacation spot, or a "bucket list" destination both of you have dreamed about? Anniversary trips can be surprising affordable - and our members have the travel industry contacts and expertise to help you get the best value for your travel budget. |
babymoons
|
Babymoons take two forms. Couples may schedule romantic getaways to relax and focus on conceiving a child - or, if they're already pregnant, they can take a trip to enjoy one final vacation before the baby is due.
Thinking about expanding your family from the two of you to three or more can feel life changing - because it is! Our members can help you take advantage of this transition in your lives by planning these trips and adding the extra touches (from body pillows in your hotel room to mom-to-be-friendly spa treatments) so you can focus on enjoying yourself before you become parents (for the first time or the next time). |
familymoons
|
Couples with children don't have to settle for standard summer vacations to theme parks with no time for themselves. Familymoons offer the best of both worlds - quality time together with your kids with a few strategic meals and activities built into the schedule for just you as the couple!
From resorts with kids and teen clubs and cruise ships that offer babysitting services to multigenerational family itineraries with options for your parents, your children and their friends, and you as the couple, our members can set up familymoon trips built to satisfy everyone traveling with you without sacrificing chances for you to focus on each other as well. |
quick romantic getaways
|
As the world recovers from (what we hope is) the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, carving out time for yourselves as a couple can feel almost impossible.
The best remedy for that stress can be short- and long-weekend trips for just the two of you! Quick romantic getaways don't require flying halfway around the world. Our members can use their travel industry connections and knowledge to recommend two-, three-, and four-day trips that won't break your calendars or your bank accounts. Time feels short these days. Don't miss the opportunities to escape for a quick break to reconnect with each other! |
