Meet the Team
Jennifer Stein
— Owner / Editor in Chief / Publisher
Co-founder of Destination Media, LLC, Jennifer Stein started Destination I Do in 2004 out of her own desire to have a wedding away from home and discovering there weren't any media outlets exclusively covering the subject. Her background in publishing and her passion in weddings and travel, created the perfect synergy to start a product like DID. During her time building Destination I Do, she's watched it grow from a small, home-grown product to a brand couples know the minute they start planning their destination weddings or honeymoons.
Carolyn Steere
— Owner / CEO
As co-founder and owner, Carolyn has a resume unlike any other. From her background as an entrepreneur to her education as a counselor, she has a myriad of different talents. She brings her wisdom, insights and dedication to the table. You'll find her traveling to far flung destinations in search of the perfect story angle and popping in to the Destination I Do headquarters when time permits. Having started four different businesses in her career, she's only just getting warmed up.
Marisol Acosta
— Associate Editor
Marisol is an Associate Editor for Destination Media and DestinationIDo.com. Since her early twenties, she knew she wanted to be a part of the wedding industry and is now seeing that dream come to fruition. While pursuing her passion for writing, she found herself taking her love of photography into the industry and being a part of the teams she so admired. After being an intern at Destination Media, she was instantly hired on as an associate editor and is thrilled to be able to write about destination weddings. You'll see Marisol traveling on behalf of the DestinationIDo.com team (one of her favorite parts of the job) and documenting her experiences.

Lauren has the type of job people only dream of. She gets to travel the world and write about her adventures.
