The Truth About Planning A Destination Wedding (Step-By-Step)
Thinking about a destination wedding but have no idea what actually happens after you decide you want one? This episode is for you. 💍
In this episode of the Be All Inclusive Podcast, James, Julia, and Tim break down the REAL process of planning a destination wedding — from narrowing down resorts, comparing options, choosing the right fit for your guests, securing your wedding date, understanding room blocks, contracts, and everything in between.
We’re talking about:
• How couples actually narrow down destination options
• What matters most when choosing a resort
• Common mistakes couples make early in the process
• How wedding dates are confirmed
• What room blocks really are (and why they matter)
• Resort contracts, perks, pricing & guest booking timelines
• What couples usually don’t realize until they’re already deep into planning
If destination wedding planning feels overwhelming, confusing, or like there are way too many options… you’re definitely not alone.
Whether you’re newly engaged or already researching resorts, this episode will help you better understand how the process actually works behind the scenes.

Not every destination wedding story ends when the wedding does…
In this episode of BAI Brides Tell All, we’re sitting down with a Blu Lux Vacations bride who had her wedding at UNICO 2087 — and what happened after might be even more meaningful than the wedding itself.
From planning her destination wedding with Tim Hamel of Blu Lux Vacations (#TeamBAI affiliate), to navigating a real wedding-day curveball (yes… her DJ didn’t show up), she shares what the experience was actually like.
And the best part?
That experience is exactly what led her to become a destination wedding specialist herself.
This one is real, honest, and a full-circle moment we don’t see every day.
If you’re in the early stages of planning your destination wedding, this episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at what it really feels like — the good, the unexpected, and everything in between.
✨ Want help figuring out what resort actually fits your group? We’re here to guide you through it, step by step.
