Destination I Do has teamed up with Engine - a travel management company that takes the stress out of booking your destination wedding room blocks!

No matter if you need a room block at a luxury resort in Mexico or a mid-priced hotel in Atlanta, Engine does all the hard work so you don’t have to.

OH - did we mention, it’s FREE TO USE?

Say “room block” in the comments for a DM link to get guest accommodations checked off that wedding to-do list. ✅

Ever wonder why the moment you mention the word “wedding,” the cost seems to double—or even triple?

You’re definitely not imagining it! The reality is that vendors often charge more for weddings than they do for other events.

BUT, before you assume it’s just a case of price gouging, there’s actually a lot more to it than meets the eye.

Comment “wedding markup” to read our full article on why weddings come with a higher price tag than standard events!

Lauren and Gosuami’s wedding journey was a labor

Lauren and Gosuami’s wedding journey was a labor of love, carefully woven with intention and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the Italian countryside. They found their perfect setting at Buccelletti Casali and Cantina (an old Olive Mill) in Castiglion Fiorentino, Tuscany.

“With its rustic charm and breathtaking scenery of vineyards and coastal hills, it was a place that set the tone for a warm, minimalist celebration,” Gosuami says.

On a radiant day in the heart of Champagne, the scene was set for a timeless and romantic French castle wedding at the stunning Château Comtesse Lafond.

A grand reception table was elegantly arranged in front of the castle, while the floral designer and her team crafted two semi-circle arches at the castle’s entrance for the outdoor ceremony.

The arches featured an ombré of hortensias: deep blue at the base, transitioning to light blue, and culminating in pure white at the top—a breathtaking sight framed by the castle’s iconic towers.

The task of narrowing down a wedding guest list is an easy to say the least. If the thought of making an A-List and a B-List of your wedding guests sounds a little harsh, @aimeemonihan of @tropicaloccasions and @mountainoccasions offers a different perspective.

Break up the budget by cost per person. This way, you and your partner consider it in terms of “am I close enough to this person to want to spend X amount of money on them?”
