About Me

Romantic Carriage Ride at Moon Palace
Romantic Carriage Ride at Moon Palace

Planning a destination wedding should feel exciting, meaningful, and joyful, not overwhelming. As a Destination Wedding Specialist with Stayseacation Travel, I help couples design and manage beautiful wedding celebrations abroad while taking the stress out of the travel logistics for both the couple and their guests.Every destination wedding is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. I advise couples on the best options for their specific vision and guest list, whether that means setting up a contracted wedding group, working with flexible individual bookings, or using a hybrid approach. My role is to help you understand the pros and cons of each option, guide you through the decision, and make sure the plan we choose truly works for you and your guests.Once your wedding plans are in motion, I become your travel coordination partner. I create and maintain a detailed guest booking spreadsheet, track reservations, payments, and deadlines, and serve as the main point of contact for your guests for all travel-related questions. I personally reach out to guests to assist with booking their flights, resort or cruise accommodations, and any additional travel needs, making sure everyone feels supported and informed throughout the process.I also keep the couple in the loop every step of the way, sharing updates on who has booked, who is still pending, and any important details that need attention. This means you are never left guessing about your guest list or travel status, and you are free to focus on enjoying your engagement and planning the celebration itself.I specialize in destination weddings in Mexico, the Caribbean, and on cruises, working closely with trusted resort and cruise partners to help secure great value, perks, and group-friendly options whenever possible. My goal is to create a smooth, organized, and stress-free experience, not just for the wedding couple, but for every guest traveling to celebrate with you.From the first planning conversation to the moment your guests return home, I am there to manage the details, solve problems before they become stressful, and make sure your destination wedding experience is as seamless and enjoyable as it should be.

This has been one of the best vacations ever!
Reviewed By McFamilyof4 - Baltimore, Md | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Stacey to plan our recent family vacation. I am a busy mom of 2 girls and have an incredibly demanding job. I knew I wanted to take a spectacular vacation this summer but did not have the time to research destinations or the slightest clue where to start. I contacted Stacey and gave her a list of things I wanted to do and see on my vacation and a good budget to work with. That night she came back with 7 options that hit all of the items on the wish list. I came back to her with some pros and cons and she refined the quote again until we landed on the perfect vacation for my family at Moon Palace the Grand in Cancun. Booking was so easy and stress free! Stacey took care of all of our special requests and set up our free airport transfers. Leading up to the trip she provided us with detailed emails with tips and tricks for traveling to Cancun and a packing list that was so helpful. The trip itself was smooth as can be. All of the staff at Moon Place were amazing and took care of all of our needs during our stay. The resort was HUGE and even staying 7 nights we didn't get to visit everything on the resort. The whole family loved the water park, had a blast exploring all the different pools and ranking our favorites. The food and drinks were delicious and the service was out of this world. Stacey absolutely picked the perfect destination and we had a wonderful vacation that we will remember for the rest of our lives!

Making it happen!
Reviewed By MzzzCat - MD | Traveled to England | Europe
Ms. Bonds has been instrumental in helping us plan our dream trip to England. We weren’t even sure it was something we could do until we began talking through all of the options with her! As icing on the cake Ms. Bonds showed us that it would not cost more to sail over on The Queen Mary II than it would to fly giving us an extra week of vacation and the possibility to achieve another dream. Our trip will happen next spring and it will be the event of a life time!
Stacey Bonds responded
"Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m truly honored to be part of planning such a special trip for you. It’s been an absolute joy helping you bring your dream of visiting England to life, and I’m so excited that sailing on the Queen Mary II became part of your adventure—it’s such a unique and unforgettable experience! I can’t wait to hear all about your journey next spring and how it all comes together. Thank you for trusting me to help make this the trip of a lifetime!"
