Wedding Tip Wednesday: Oh the places you will go! Check out Travel Leaders to plan your ultimate honeymoon destination!


                                                                                         



Your honeymoon is the trip of a lifetime! Make sure that you place your trust and money in the best possible hands. The difference between using a travel agency that specializes in destination weddings and honeymoon travel versus an online travel agency for such special occasions is that a destination wedding / honeymoon specialist will work for you to get the best price for your budget and recommend the best destination packages offered.

Things to think about when planning your honeymoon or destination wedding!

We know a lot of people use the internet when looking at destinations for your honeymoon but here’s some things to think about when booking on-line…

Do you think that when going online that they have you in mind or just to sell you something?

When you go online are you asked what you are interested in, what you like to do and what you are expecting out of your honeymoon?

Do you think they care if something goes wrong or that they give you the expert service that a travel agency that specializes in honeymoons would?

They don’t! Travel Leaders has been in the honeymoon business for over 25 years and they have heard a lot of nightmares from people how have booked online!
 
              Travel Leaders experts book tons of vacations every year and they know what the finest days to travel are from the viewpoint of one's budget as well as from the standpoint of time. If you are able to provide the agent with some flexibility in travel dates, they can get the least expensive and most stress-free choices for your honeymoon travel. Travel Leaders can help you save money on your honeymoon vacationthey can get the best discounts on flights and hotels. Did you know you can book your honeymoon a year out? Travel Leaders encourages that so you can be sure and get exactly the resort, room category and everything you’ve dreamed about for your honeymoon! Travel Leaders can save a ton of work when planning your honeymoon vacation - You can save hours of time since their agents will be the one to deal with the booking and preparations of your honeymoon vacation. They provide answers to any questions about documents need for honeymoon vacation- An individual's agent knows essential closing dates and necessities for passports, etc. Travel Leaders will help direct you through the process. They can provide you with some insider perks for honeymoon vacation- since they are acquainted with the right questions to ask, they may be able to come up with offers that the common person would never come across on their own. Selecting to work with a travel agent can not only lessen the constant worry when it comes to the planning of your honeymoon travel, but can also save you money as well as time. Travel Leaders will give you one bill - When you decide to work with travel leaders, you will end up with one bill and not a bunch of purchases with many receipts, confirmations, etc.

Destination wedding and honeymoon specialists are trained to help clients choose the perfect destination and resort. Travel Leaders have visited these locations to better assist couples in matching what each resort or location has to offer with your unique needs and wants. Some online travel services may state that a resort is a 3- or 4-star resort, but in fact, it may not be match your expectations. Travel Leaders specialists can provide a broad and complete range of services, negotiate better rates with suppliers and offer added-value service.
 
You actually have a real person working for you!


Travel Leaders honeymoon specialists offer the personal touch you desire by asking questions about what you want to do, who will be traveling with you, where you want to go and what type of experience you want to have while on your honeymoon. While some couples want something very relaxed, others want to experience everything available. There are destinations for whatever you choose and brochures available for you to compare. Because Travel Leaders is a full service travel agency they can offer payment plans, while most online agencies require that you pay in full PLUS, they offer a Honeymoon Registry! Some resorts offer wedding services, butler services, massage treatments and many other extras. Did you know that many resorts have special rooms for honeymooners, but should be booked six months in advance due to limited availability? You may not be made aware of these services when booking online. Travel Leader’s specialists provide you with information to adequately prepare you for international travel. What if something goes wrong on your honeymoon? When you book with a honeymoon specialist, help is only a phone call away!
