Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Travel Agent

My Destination Wedding

I was married in the Dominican Republic. It was also the first destination wedding I ever planned.

That's an unusual way to start a career in romance travel, and it shaped how I do this work. I know what it feels like to be the couple at the center of it, trying to enjoy your own wedding while wondering whether your aunt's flight landed and whether anyone told the resort about the vegetarian.

I'm Tamara Lidbom, owner of Anytime Travel Agency and a Certified Travel Associate. I plan destination weddings, honeymoons, anniversary trips, and romantic getaways. I completed Destination Wedding University, I'm a member of the Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Specialists Association, and I attended the Romance Travel Forum in 2024. This niche has its own rules and its own ways to go wrong, and I keep studying it.

Destination weddings

My job is to make sure you get to be a guest at your own wedding.I manage the guest side of the event completely. Room blocks, individual guest bookings, arrival and departure coordination, payment tracking, and the endless questions your guests would otherwise be sending to you. Your people call me. You get to think about the dress.

I'll help you choose a resort based on what your specific group needs rather than what photographs well: how many guests you have, what they can afford, whether there are kids, whether anyone has mobility considerations, and whether you want a ceremony on the sand or something more private. I'll walk you through the wedding packages and tell you plainly what's included, what's an upcharge, and where the real costs hide.

Destination weddings need twelve months or more of lead time. The good dates at the good properties go early, and rushing this is how people end up compromising on the thing they'll be looking at in photographs for forty years.

Honeymoons

A honeymoon is not a regular vacation with better sheets. You're exhausted, you've just spent months planning something else, and what you need is a trip where nothing is asked of you.

I'll ask whether you want to move or stay put, whether you want adults-only quiet or you'd rather be somewhere with a pulse, and whether you're combining a beach stretch with a city or a safari. I'll make sure the property knows you're honeymooners, because that's how the small touches happen. I'll also be honest about what those touches realistically look like, since amenities and upgrades vary a great deal by region and are far more common at some resorts than others. I won't promise you something I can't confirm.

Anniversaries and romantic getaways

A good share of my work is couples who aren't newlyweds. Tenth anniversaries, twenty-fifths, fiftieths, and couples who simply want a week alone for the first time since the kids were born.

These trips deserve as much thought as a honeymoon and usually get less. I'll treat yours like it matters, because it does.

How we start

With a conversation. I want to hear what you're imagining before I show you anything, and I'll tell you honestly whether it's realistic for your budget and your dates. If it isn't, I'll show you what is.
