Honeymoons
You’ve just spent a year planning something for a hundred people. This one is only for two, and you shouldn’t have to plan it at all.
The version of this we’re good at
We plan a lot of weddings-adjacent travel — the week around the wedding, the guests flying in, the families who turn a ceremony into a reunion. Honeymoons come with that work, and we’re glad to take them on.
What we bring to it is the same thing we bring to everything else: somebody handling the parts you’d otherwise handle, at the exact moment you have the least appetite for handling anything.
Things worth knowing
You’ll be tired
More tired than you expect. The first two days of a honeymoon are usually spent recovering from the wedding, which is why an ambitious opening itinerary is a mistake and a slow start isn’t a waste.
Leaving a few days later is usually better
Flying out the morning after the wedding is romantic in theory and brutal in practice. A gap of two or three days costs nothing and changes the whole trip.
Names have to match
Tickets must match the passport you’ll be traveling on, not the name you’re about to have. Name changes take longer than the honeymoon does. Book in your current legal name.
Tell everyone it’s a honeymoon
Hotels do things for honeymooners. Not always, not guaranteed, but far more often when they know — and far more often again when it comes from an advisor rather than a checkbox on a booking form.
Two places beats one, sometimes
A few days somewhere with something to see, then the rest somewhere with nothing to do. It gives the trip a shape, and it means you come home having both rested and been somewhere.
A registry instead of a gift list
Plenty of couples already have the plates and the toaster. Guests can contribute toward the trip instead, and we can set that up so it’s simple for everyone.
If the wedding is somewhere else
This is where we’re genuinely useful. A destination wedding means forty or eighty people flying somewhere, and almost nobody plans the days around the ceremony. Guests arrive with nothing to do, in rooms booked twelve different ways, and the couple ends up coordinating it from the middle of their own wedding week.
We handle the guest travel as a group — the room block, the arrivals, the welcome dinner, the transfers, the people who need a different hotel because of budget — and then hand you a honeymoon on the other side of it that you had nothing to do with.
Congratulations, by the way.
Tell us the date and roughly what you’re imagining. We’ll take it from there.
