1000/10 recommend
Reviewed By Aubrey - OH | Traveled to Riviera Maya | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Romance Travel group has been a godsend with helping us through our destination wedding planning from beginning to end! It is so hard to find what resort would be a good match for your all your destination wedding needs and Romance Travel group takes the brainwork out of it and provides you the best options based on your wants and needs. They negotiate with the resort and help assist you with making sure you have the right room options for you and your guests. They assist with reminders for you and your guests on payment deadlines and making sure everyone is taken care of. This whole process would have been so stressful without their assistance. They made the process of planning a destination wedding enjoyable without the excess stress of feeling like you have to do it all yourself. Abby and Shannon were 1000/10 and cannot thank them enough! I cannot recommend them more if you are planning a future destination wedding!

Exceeded expectations
Reviewed By Zach - Kansas | Traveled to Puerto Vallarta | Jalisco | Mexico
Choosing Romance Travel Group was truly one of the smartest choices we made for our wedding. After hearing such great things from close friends, we had high expectations, and Abby and Heather still managed to exceed them. They guided us through every step of the destination-wedding process with so much professionalism and kindness. I always felt like we were in good hands — they were consistently organized, incredibly responsive, and so patient with every question we sent their way. They also did an amazing job keeping our guests updated, which took a huge weight off our shoulders. Planning from a distance can be overwhelming, but Abby, Heather, and the entire RTG team made it feel smooth, manageable, and even enjoyable. Because of their support, I’m heading into our wedding feeling calm, prepared, and genuinely excited. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning a destination wedding!

Wedding!
Reviewed By Cody - PHL | Traveled to Mexico
Romance Travel Group was such a lifesaver for our destination wedding! Shannon and Abby were amazing to work with from day one. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, but when you add in a destination, travel, and a big group of guests, it can feel overwhelming. They made the whole process smooth, organized, and honestly really fun.
Since ours was an LGBT wedding, finding the right resort was super important to us. Shannon and Abby helped us every step of the way and guided us to Dreams Riviera Cancun, which turned out to be absolutely perfect. The resort was gorgeous, welcoming, and everything we could have hoped for.
They also handled all the travel questions from our guests, coordinated the details with the resort, and kept us worry-free throughout the process. We can’t thank Shannon, Abby, and Romance Travel Group enough—they made our dream wedding come true!

LGBT Wedding
Reviewed By Groom - PA | Traveled to Mexico
Working with Romance Travel Group was one of the best decisions we made for our destination wedding. From the very beginning, Shannon and Abby were absolutely incredible to work with. Planning a wedding can be stressful enough, but when you add in the details of a destination wedding in another country, it can quickly feel overwhelming. Shannon and Abby made the process seamless, stress-free, and honestly enjoyable.
As a gay couple, we wanted to make sure our wedding would be not only beautiful but also welcoming and inclusive. Shannon and Abby went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was handled thoughtfully and respectfully. They guided us through every step, from narrowing down destination options to ultimately choosing the perfect resort—Dreams Riviera Cancun. We could not have asked for a more stunning and accommodating location, and it was their expertise that led us there.
They also handled communication with the resort, coordinated travel for our guests, and answered our countless questions with patience and professionalism. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that everything was in their capable hands. Thanks to them, we were able to truly enjoy the experience, focus on celebrating with our loved ones, and soak in every moment of our big day.
We are beyond grateful for Shannon, Abby, and the entire Romance Travel Group team. If you are considering a destination wedding, especially if you want knowledgeable, kind, and supportive agents, we cannot recommend them highly enough. They made our dream wedding a reality!

incredible to work with
Reviewed By Victor - IL | Traveled to Playa Del Carmen | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Romance Travel Group was incredible to work with for our destination wedding! Abigail and Heather were both super organized, responsive, and helpful from start to finish. They made the planning process feel totally smooth by giving lots of notice ahead of deadlines and making sure every detail was noted. One of the biggest perks was how they took the lead in communicating all of the travel and event info with our guests—this really eased a lot of the pressure off my wife, which we really appreciated. Their professionalism and dedication gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy the journey. We can’t recommend them enough for any destination wedding planning needs!
