Destination Weddings are our Speciality!

Thinking of.....

Getting married on an exotic tropical island, in a castle in Europe, on a beautiful white sand beach, a decorated gazebo with the ocean as a background or maybe you are thinking of something more adventurous like getting married on an Alaskan Glacier!  Why not rent out a whole resort on a private island in Fiji? This isn't just a DREAM... We can make it a reality!  Just as no two people are alike... why should your WEDDING be like everyone else's?  Think outside the box!!  We have lots of ideas and options to discuss with you.  Lets start planning the Unique WEDDING of YOUR DREAMS now!

"Our brides, grooms and guests are real people just like YOU!  They are not movie stars but some of their weddings sure look like they came out of a fairy tale wedding book," says Gayle Zielke, president of First Choice Travel and Cruise.  "I have been a Destination Wedding and Honeymoon Specialist for over 25 years even before we were on the internet or had a website. I never get tired of speaking to a new couple all excited about planning their Wedding or Honeymoon.  It all seems like an exciting challenge for me to match up the right destination and resort with the special occasion!"  "In fact I think I get to know the couples and their families so well many invite me to go along!  I think that is a great compliment since I really work with most of my weddings and honeymooners over the phone and internet and they really trust me."  

"Actually over the last 25 years I have waited on some of the same people year after year.  I have also worked with their parents, grandparents, children and Honeymoon couples getting married.  Believe it or not I have never met any of them.  They just feel like friends after all these years and I don't think anyone cares or even thinks about it.  My clients keep sending me more referals since they know I am personally going to take care of them and enjoy every minute of it!" 

These are the same comments we receive for everyone on our team at First Choice Travel and Cruise.  All of our DW and Honeymoon Specialists are experienced and specialize in Destination Weddings.  We are all on the same page and really care about your once in a lifetime WEDDING! This is the most important week of your life, please let someone with decades of experience assist you.

Tana asks, "So think about how you would like to remember your wedding"! Either ONE day so busy you can’t remember the details...OR a celebration in a romantic destination to exchange vows with an intimate group of family and friends!!! Talk about STRESS FREE and FUN!!!  Best of all after the wedding ceremony, you won't have to leave," says Tana.  Well she should know since she planned and arranged her own Destination Wedding with all the bells and whistles.  Select Tana's WEDDING tips from a real destination wedding bride for more information on why to take the plunge on a Destination Wedding!  

First Choice Travel and Cruise has been working daily with couples to plan their Honeymoons, Weddings and romantic vacations.  We all love it when we get a call or an email from a new couple about to plan their special occassion.  It never gets old to any of us.  "It is always a fun challenge to put all the pieces of the puzzle together,  I love working with these happy couples and I know I can help them," says Gayle Zielke, Wedding and Honeymoon Specialist.  In my book the BRIDE and GROOM are the BOSS and I like to remind our Destination Wedding Specialists of this.  We want them happy first! So we listen to what the couple wants to do, customize it to fit their needs and make it easy, unique and memorable for them.  We want your wedding to be exactly how you imagined it and really love it when our wedding couples come back and tell us we exceeded your expections! That makes it all worthwhile!

All of First Choice Travel's Destination Wedding specialists are experienced in a variety of different destinations and we share our information amongst each other and our clients.  This destination knowledge really helps our couples choose the right location when planning their dream wedding.  This is what we excell at and all of us love working with our wedding couples and guests. We end up making so many new friends from just one wedding because we get to know the bride and groom along with all their families and friends. 

It isn't easy to coordinate your wedding and so many guests with different needs.  Just worry about choosing some details about the wedding and leave the guests questions and concerns with us.  With so many different requests from all over the country, why would you worry about everyone's payments or personal needs?  Why would you trust anyone with the most important day of your life, unless they were a Destination Wedding Expert?  We know what the problems could be before they even happen. I think we have heard and seen it all.  It is just like being a mother, we have to be one step ahead of anything that could come up.  Only a Destination Wedding Specialist has the experience with all the previous weddings and groups to advise YOU on YOUR perfect day!!  We are very experienced and professional and we try to make it fun for everyone in the whole group.  We listen to all our "brides and grooms" special requests and try to add in a bit of their personalities to make sure they enjoy themselves too!   

A big "THANK YOU" for all the referals from our new friends, past clients and expecially the weddings we have assisted!

So what is your vision of YOUR WEDDING DAY?  A beautifully decorated gazebo wedding?  A romantic sunset beach wedding? A wedding in a chapel on a cruise ship? A regal wedding in Scotland?  We can make that happen and have been working with hundreds of couples just like YOU! 

Now that we know what kind of wedding you are dreaming about.  The next thing to do for our brides and grooms is to go on the HUNT for a perfect location for your destination wedding.  Our Destination Wedding Specialists are prepared for almost any request and will be happy to help you make your dream Wedding and Honeymoon come true!

Our agents are wedding and honeymoon specialists and very well-known for our experience in planning hundreds of romantic weddings.  We have worked with hundreds and hundreds of couples and their families for weddings in Cancun, Riviera Maya, Jamaica, Alaska, Scotland, St Kitts, St John, St Thomas, San Juan, Punta Cana, Nassau in the Bahamas, Las Vegas, Reno and other locations in the U.S. and more.  We know the easiest places to get married and the more difficult, who needs more paperwork to get married and all about the translations. 

No matter if it is just the two of you or a group of a hundred excited guests we will make sure your wedding is a success.  First Choice Travel's experienced Wedding Specialists live and breathe weddings and honeymoons.  We know what destinations work well for almost every situation. Our knowledge and experience is one of the best values you can find and we love working with couples and their families and friends for these special occasions.  But don't take our word for it, please read what our wedding couples and their guests have to say about us.

**Please note...Our Destination Wedding Specialists will be happy to give you advice or make some suggestions from our past experiences.  But please do not confuse us with the type of WEDDING PLANNERS that charge $5000 to $6000 to plan your wedding.  We do not plan your whole wedding and we do not charge a fee like this either.  You get to plan the wedding and all the details.  We will assist you in finding the perfect Destination and Resort and we can also help you get in contact with the resort's wedding coordinator.  If you are not getting married at the resort we can help you find a wedding coordinator from the destination.  But don't worry....YOU will always be in charge of YOUR own wedding plans!!

BRIDES GET EXCITED ABOUT THEIR WEDDINGS! 

Hi Tana,
The resort itself is beautiful and I would give it another try but after staying at the El Dorado Seaside Suites after the wedding, the service there was unbeatable.  However, our wedding at the Barceló Palace was amazing and Gabriela was incredible in giving us everything we needed. Thanks for all your help is getting this all taken care for us.

Another great reason to use a local experienced Destination Wedding Specialist?

Gayle Zielke, president and Honeymoon & Destination Wedding Specialist explains, "When I asked a couple who came to me for their destination wedding why they came to our agency, they told me that everyone else they spoke to did not know what they were doing and they didn't seem as interested in helping as we were."  "Our Specialists work with couples every day, we know the resorts, the destinations and the inside secrets of excellent weddings.  We have actually seen the hotel grounds and know the scenery well enough to suggest ideas for the wedding location be it a gazebo, fern grotto or on the powder white sand beach."

This is the most important event of your life....Please use an experienced professional who will know how to help you plan your destination wedding.  We love those referals and couples who need help organizing their wedding and their guests.  Our experience speaks for itself and every one of our Destination Wedding Specialists really love what we do!!!  First Choice Travel and Cruise has been in the same area for over 20 years and we plan on being around for another 20 or so!  You need us for questions, suggestions and tips on what to do and what to stay away from....and we are there for you.  Give us a call 262-542-5955 / 800-896-4360 or email:
