About Me

Destination Weddings & Honeymoons are no ordinary vacations. As a Certified Honeymoon & Destination Wedding Specialist I can offer my training and expertise to ensure these special occasions are carefully constructed for you and your significant people.

I stay up to date on the latest trends, wedding packages and inclusions offered by all of the larger branded resorts. This allows me to locate the package(s) that fit your vision in the destination you are seeking. I can also help you find alternatives you may not have thought of! All wedding packages have options that allow you to further customize your experience.

I offer complimentary wedding and honeymoon consultations to get a good feel of your wishes and to outline the booking process specific to your group size so that you will know exactly what is involved and what to expect at each stage. Planning begins after the consult process as your wish list determines the recommendations.

Best Wedding Week!!??
Reviewed By Alanna and Mike - Planet Hollywood Cancun | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Lori had helped plan my husband and I's destination wedding in Mexico. Right from the start, I could tell she truly loves what she does, and that clearly showed throught the whole planning process. You truly feel like you've got someone on your team who is just as excited as you are for your big day! If there is anyone you want helping you plan a destination wedding, or even just a trip, it's Lori! When our wedding was moved to a different resort just months prior to our wedding, Lori was on it and organized my group of over 50 people. From start to finish, the travel aspect of our trip was effortless. All we had to do was just show up and be ready to celebrate, because Lori had all the details handled. If there were any hiccups, she was always just a call or email away. She is always prompt when responding, and very detail oriented, which is exactly what you need when planning a wedding!! Lori, I can't thank you enough for everything you did to help organize one of the best weeks of our lives! Everyone in our group had the best time, and that is thanks to you! If you have the privilege of working with Lori on your destination wedding, or any trip planning you are in GREAT hands. I would recommend Lori to anyone looking for a travel agent to work with. You have clients for life Lori! -Alanna and Mike

"Thank you, Alanna and Mike ?? An absolute pleasure the entire process and even when things were upended with the original resort closing unexpectedly for renovations, you guys were amazingly steady in your openness to regrouping and start again on a new destination. I could not be happier for you both and having had this experience for you all work out for the better in the end!! I look forward to planning anytime."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

My partner and I had to pleasure of working with Lori. We had no idea what we were doing or how to even start! The experience overall was beyond my expectations. Lori ensured we were prepared by being thorough and thoughtful of catering to our experience and needs. We went to the El Dorado Casitas and the entire week was packed with adventure-packed days. We would absolutely recommend Lori to new travelers, like ourselves, or those who have been around the world! Thank you for everything ensuring our best experience possible!

50th birthday trip!
Reviewed By Dana - Kitchener, ON | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Lori Birch was recommended to me by my coworker. I have planned many group trips in the past and they've all been stressful accommodating so many people but my experience with Lori was easier than if I booked for two! Lori was very patient with me when I was selecting the perfect resort to host my husband's 50th bday. She even recommended some that checked the boxes of my must-have list. Lori reserved the rooms, handle all the guest reservations without me being involved. She made it an easy and enjoyable experience. Lori went above an beyond also with assisting me in organizing a birthday dinner and balloons at the resort. She also coordinated all golf tee times for our guests. I will 100% use Lori again for all travel arrangements and I'll absolutely recommend her to all family and friends. Thanks again Lori, can't wait to fill you in upon my return!
