Hi!  Congrats on finding this website -- it is truly amazing and will help you plan your wedding in so many ways!  I personally think that if you are in the continental US, you don't need a travel agent (or their fees, especially if you are on a budget).  I would start by reading the reviews of other brides that have gotten married at each of the resorts that you are considering.  After you choose the one that is right for you (all inclusive or not?  How many guests can they accommodate?  How much is dinner/open bar or consumption bar per head?  etc.) I would start emailing and calling all of the resorts that you are interested in, stating that you have your "heart set" on having your wedding at their resort on or around July __, 2011.  You many of the popular resorts might already be booked, but always leave your name and number in case there is a cancellation (this is how we got the date we wanted!).   Make sure to consider dates during the week if they are already booked on the weekend -- often they are less expensive anyway. 

 

As for booking your plane tickets, go to kayak.com -- they will give you the lowest prices at every site.  Virgin America is now flying directly to Cancun and Los Cabos starting in January and will likely have great deals soon. 

 

Good luck!  You can definitely plan your wedding in six months... your first and largest hurdle is just booking the venue!  After that, it's all much easier.
