Pros: Awesome fast communication, friendly, super helpful!!
Cons: None
We worked with Patty & Kristen from Wright Travel for our March 5, 2015 wedding. We stayed at Now Larimar in Punta Cana and got married off site at Huracan Cafe. We chose Punta Cana because everyone had awesome reviews and neither of us has been to Punta Cana before.
Before choosing a travel agency we searched the internet and read tons of reviews, EVERY review for Patty and Kristen was AWESOME, and they weren't wrong. Patty & Kristen were amazing to work with. They are both so

We worked with Patty & Kristen from Wright Travel for our March 6, 2015 wedding at Dreams Palm Beach. We chose the location based on the reviews we read on BDW, so we also looked at the reviews of travel agencies. We were blown away by all the positive comments about Wright Travel, so we knew we should get in contact with them and were not disappointed! Patty & Kristen were amazing to work with. They are both so friendly and professional. We knew we were in the right hands as soon as he

Pros: Great room rates, ease of communication, perks for wedding couple and guests, guest payment plan
Travel Agent: Vacations 4 Less (through Best Destination Weddings)
I contacted several travel agents, including www.destinationweddings.com and www.bestdestinationwedding.com. BDW connected me to Teresa Stauring at Vacations4less.com and Teresa became our travel agent. Vacations4Less/BDW had the best group rates for Azul Fives and best room block reservation policy. Whenever I contacted Teresa, she too always responded very quickly. After we signed our group agreement and locked in our grou

We just got married at the Jellyfish Restaurant in December of 2014, and had all 48 of our guests staying at the Now Larimar resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. We actually found the amazing mother/daughter team of Patty Jordan and Kristen Bullock through BDW as well as through some recommendations on Facebook, and are so happy to have worked with them over the past year. They regularly travel to Punta Cana to research the available resorts and venues, and are extremely knowledgeable about

Pros: ease of communication
We juts got married at Iberostar Rose Hall Suites 11/2/14 90 guest and Babs handled everything beyond my expectation. Timely email or phone response. Anything I needed to know about the resort she had a wealth of information. My guest were all very pleased with Babs and Wright Travel Agency. I'm thankful and grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her.

Pros: EVERYTHING
We worked with Wendy Hicks for our wedding in April 2013 at Le Blanc Spa Resort in Cancun, Mexico. It was the best decision we made! Wendy was very helpful and knowledgeable about the whole process! She was a huge stress reliever. She gave us a lot of advice, helped with our contract with the resort, recommended the correct amount of rooms to hold for our block based on our guest estimates, etc. She provided us with detailed lists of our guests bookings (rooms and dates with names) and chased th

Pros: Efficient, fast, friendly, All around awesome!
Cons: Too far away for me to hug them!!!!!
I'd been doing research for a travel agent to help us plan our destination wedding. My now husband and I knew we wanted to go to Punta Cana, but in terms of resorts there were just so many to choose from! We happened to run across this website with info on not only tons of resort, but on travel agencies. Low and behold, I get in touch with Patty Jordan & Kristen Bullock of Wright Travel. When I first reached out, I'd spoke to Patty about my expectations and how I was hoping to work with some

Pros: Professional, Good Communication

I worked with Wendy Hicks for my September wedding at Le Blanc Spa Resort and she was fantastic. She got us a better rate than the hotel was quoting us and communicated super fast. She would answer all my emails and questions in a timely manner and was always available. My guests all (40) them had no complaints and all booked through her with no issues. My guests also liked the option of paying throughout the year to spread out the expense. I would definitely recommend getting a travel agen

Pros: reply very quickly to emails/calls, very friendly, knowledgable, the best
Cons: nada
I want to thank Virgilia so much for the amazing service, and for making my 1st family trip to Oahu one to always remember. We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, and we couldn't have been more happy. Everything was so perfect. Every question I had, she got back to me super quickly and gave me peace of mind. I will definitely will be using Wright Travel Agency soon, and will be telling all my friends and family about it. There is nothing like going to a Hawaii and being welcome at the airport

Pros: Prompt, knowledgeable, my grandmother loved her
Cons: Communication with the transportation company wasn't great
Virgilia was the travel agent for our late-June wedding in Jamaica, and we were so pleased with the job that she did. In addition to answering the 500 questions that we had (I'm not joking, we may have actually had 500 questions), she also coordinated the travel plans for all but three of our 20-some guests.
I was mostly pleased with the job that she did with our families. My grandmother and three of her friends were traveling to Jamaica from Montana, and their longtime travel agents were ha

Pros: communication

A year ago my family and I were returning back from my destination wedding in Ocho Rios Jamaica. I want to take this time to thank Virgilia at Wright for her wonderful dedication to my family. Virgilia I know that my family was not the easiest to work with but you did such a great job. thank you so much for your great communication and great professionalism throughout the whole process. You made my day very special because you made sure everyone was taken care. To all my destination bride or bri

Pros: Responsive, professional, accomodating, detail-oriented
Cons: Amstar (Transportation company) needs to be re-evaluated
I recently got married in Cancun and with all of the planning required, I just could not deal with coordinating everyone's travel arrangements/room bookings so after asking around, I was given Wendy Hicks's name as the best travel agent to reach out to. From the start, she was very professional, very responsive and thorough with making the arrangements. I knew we would be in good hands and she certainly pulled through. She was constantly sending reminders to my procrastinating guests making s

Pros: Responsive, Timely, Pro-active

Wendy at Wright Travel Agency is truly amazing! She handled my group booking for my May destination wedding in Cancun. She answered every single email I had, even when she was out of the country! No question was to small for her to answer. My guests were also pleased with their experience using her. With so many other things a bride has to worry about, travel should not be one of them. I am 100% glad I came on this website and saw all of the wonderful reviews about Wright Travel and Wendy

Pros: Organized, experience, knowledgeable, dedicated to the bride and groom, truth worthy, prompt, and fabulous!
Cons: Transportation had to arrive to pick up parents 4 hours early and for my groom and I they never arrived until they called for a back up. The person who came to pick us up said they did see us on the schedule, but no one was assigned to pick us up.
I did a lot of research on this designation wedding forum when deciding where to book our wedding and who to help us. Hands down, Wendy Hicks with Wright Travel Agency, was name mentioned most on this forum. She helped us narrow down our search for a location and hotel for our destination wedding. Wendy was patient and was able to go back and forth with us to make us feel at ease with the process. Destination weddings are easy in most ways, but the hardest part is trusting a lot of people yo

We got married in Mexico on June 3rd. We were referred to Wendy by a friend who had a destination wedding in Cancun. I was a guest at that wedding and the hotel arrangements and airport transfers went so smoothly for that wedding. As a bride working with Wendy, we had zero problems and she did a fantastic job. She was quick to respond to my emails and was very patient with all of my questions. The hotel booking went very smoothly and the airport transfers were great. The only complaint tha

I highly recommend working with Babs Vong to book your destination wedding group. This was my first time using a travel agent and she was extremely responsive to all my questions and with updates. All my guests' bookings went smoothly and everyone found her extremely accommodating whether with dealing with a payment plan or date. Some of my guests never traveled abroad or to an all-inclusive so Babs was so helpful in providing travel info/reminders etc. She's quick to respond, organized and supe

Pros: Great communication, efficient, so helpful!
I chose to use Wendy to avoid having to answer all of my guests questions for our wedding in Mexico at Dreams Riviera Cancun. I didn't want to have to worry about all of the payments and details of the hotel reservations. Wendy negotiated the room rates and our transportation to and from the airport. My guests had no issues, and everything went SO smoothly. I did have some issues with the coordinator at the resort, and Wendy was even able to help me by contacting the rep for their main compa

Pros: Easy to get ahold of, very nice, knowledgeable, VERY helpful :)
Wendy Hicks was sooo great to work with!! I didn't realize when I decided to do a destination wedding how much work goes into it! Wendy was a HUGE help with all of this! She was so easy to get ahold of. She answered any questions my guests and I had. Everything went very smoothly. I didn't have any problems. I was a little worried because a lot of my guests hadn't traveled outside the US and they were nervous about what to do, but Wendy had a transfer service set up and they held up a sign for o

Pros: Updated rooming list, easily accessible via phone/email, followed up with guests, matched competitor's rate
Cons: None!
My husband and I loved working with Patty and Kristen. They are extremely responsive, kind, and professional. I found them on BDW after having a bad experience with a travel agent from another company who would rarely return my emails and phone calls and was very slow to contact resorts on my behalf. Patty and Kristen were able to match the rate offered by my initial travel agent while providing top-notch service! All of our guests raved about how great they were to work with. They are easy to r

This is long overdue but Patty deserves all the rave reviews that are listed on this site!!
I worked with Patty Jordan to plan my October 2012 destination wedding in Punta Cana. Let me tell you... she was phenomenal. She was super quick to respond to my never ending emails and had all the information I needed. Every guest at my wedding who booked through her, could not stop raving about her wonderful customer service. It felt like she was this long lost aunt who was helping me the travel for my

Pros: Professional, helpful, always available, quick turnaround/response times

I worked with Patty and Kristen for about a year to organize our destination wedding in Punta Cana, DR. From helping us to choose a resort, to managing guest bookings to being available for questions and assistance during and after the wedding, they were there for us from the absolute beginning to the absolute end. They are quick to respond to all emails, very professional and helpful. Several of our guests also commented that they were great to work with - nice to hear that feedback from the ot

I absolutely loved working with Wright Travel Agency! Babs worked out everything for me just wonderfully. I heard only good things from my family and friends that used her to book travel! We had SO many fun perks at our resort from going through her. It was a dream wedding and I couldn't be more pleased!

I really can't say enough positive things about Patty & Kristen at Wright Travel Agency and everything they did to make traveling to the Dominican Republic smooth for us and our nearly 60 wedding guests. They both were so patient, helpful, and friendly every step of the way, and we are so glad that we chose them as travel agents. We were skeptical about using a travel agent at first - as neither of us ever had, and we both perceived it as an outdated service. After reading reviews to the con

Pros: Everything!

Patty and Kristen from Wright Travel are incredible! I first began my planning almost two years prior to my wedding date. When I first contacted Patty she took all of my information and stated she would be in contact when prices became available for my trip, throughout that time Patty answered all the questions I had and helped me get the basics setup for our day. As soon as prices were available Patty gave me everything I needed and then some. Whenever I needed anything she was readily availabl

Pros: Friendly, knowledgeable, reliable, organized, timely responses
Cons: Can't think of one
I highly recommend using Wright Travel Agency for your wedding booking. Our travel agent was Wendy Hicks and she was fabulous to work with. I had so many questions in the beginning and Wendy was patient with me and responding quickly to all of the questions I had. We had a group of 30 and she coordinated everyone quickly and effectively. It made it so much easier on us through the planning process that Wendy was there for our group. Wendy travels frequently to the resorts and has first hand
