By Appointment Only: Planners based in Edmonton & Calgary, Alberta, Canada
We received our travel agent credentials from a local Edmonton-based travel agency and as a company have done numerous additional wedding planning courses with our favorite being The Planner's Playbook (which we are now affiliated with!). We have also completed training from DWHSA (Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Specialist Association) & IADWP (International Association of Destination Wedding Planners). Our individual training & travel experience may differ, but we are all 100% committed to education.
This might surprise you. but only about 20% of the couples we work with are based in Edmonton and Calgary. As destination wedding planners, we don't like geographical limits - and we are quite frequently "working abroad". For our destination wedding planning clients, we plan your wedding regardless of where you and your family are based. For our destination wedding planning travel agent couples, we do require a majority of your guests leave from Canadian airports (unfortunately, this is a legal restriction outside of our control).
We are SO LUCKY to be Alberta-based and only a few short hours from the beautiful Rocky Mountains so we are able to work with couples planning destination weddings in Jasper, Banff, and many other Canadian destinations. The same way certain destinations (like Europe or Palm Springs, for example) don't necessarily lead to a group travel contract, you would need to choose our full-service planning & design services or ask about a la carte options specific to the destination you have in mind.
You will hear with us within 2 business days. We can't wait to learn more about your destination wedding and help you get started!
We are often asked if we have a course or offer mentoring for other wedding planners but we don't at this time! However, we are currently enrolled (and happily recommend as affiliates!), the Planner's Playbook by Candice Coppola!
