The Modern Romance Travel Team has been the BEST with booking my 2024 family vacation. They are so responsive and helpful with all of my questions. Mexico was very smooth thanks to them, with finding the perfect resort to the airport transfers. I 10/10 would recommend them to anyone booking a destination wedding, family vacation, or just a romantic getaway! Thank you so much Melissa and team!

We booked Modern Romance Travel for our destination wedding in Los Cabos. Aimee and Melissa were great! Our guests found them very helpful and responsive when booking their rooms or about any questions they needed answered. We loved that Melissa was very hands on and responsive whenever we reached out to her. She did the best in her ability to go above and beyond to keep my husband and I happy throughout the wedding planning process and also during our stay for the wedding! Thank you again, we appreciate all your help on making our dream wedding come together! ?

My experience working with Melissa and her team during the planning of our wedding has been nothing short of amazing. Their support in arranging a room block for our wedding, which included approximately 64 guests, was exceptional. Modern Romance streamlined the travel process for our guests, making it incredibly smooth.

I enthusiastically recommend Modern Romance. Despite a few hurdles we encountered with our chosen resort, Melissa and her team always found solutions to ensure we had the best possible outcome.

I am immensely grateful to Melissa and her team for relieving us of the stress associated with booking and coordinating travel for our wedding.

Melissa and the Modern Romance Travel team are fantastic!! We worked with them over the span of a year and a half (January 2022 to July 2023). First, they helped us find our destination resort in Cancun, Mexico for our wedding festivities. They listened to our preferences and presented us with several venue options. We are so grateful to have their expertise in the venue selection process. We are two brides and we had a Hindu wedding. Modern Romance Travel presented us with locations where we would feel safe as a same-sex couple. Next, we organized our room block with Modern Romance Travel, and they expertly helped us navigate through the room block contract and terms. Melissa and her team were so easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. They made it easy for our guests to reach out with questions about room reservations and they kept us up to date through an organized live spreadsheet with every guests' reservation. They were there every step along the way, providing support and care. We are very grateful to have worked with Modern Romance Travel. Our wedding would not have been the same without their expertise! Highly, highly recommend.

It’s sort of a miracle that we ended up with Modern Romance Travel because we originally did not envision a wedding outside of the Bay Area at the start, let alone going to another country, and now that it is all over, we do not regret the choice to have our wedding in Nuevo Vallarta! Much of this goes to the dedication and thoroughness that Melissa and her team at Modern Romance Travel. Melissa was extremely reliable and made the planning process SO easy for us. When we think about wedding planners, we think about the planners at the venue or someone who will help plan the event with you. But no one really talks about helping guests plan their travel experience and that is where Melissa comes in. Melissa was so integral in our planning because she was able to focus on the guest reservation experience. One of our guests commented to us that this was the first trip they ever planned where everything was set up for them. They just showed up and it was amazing!

We recognize the hard work that she does: being the point of contact between various resorts, couples and hundreds of guests at a time. She managed her stakeholders with poise and was very communicative with when she had updates. We appreciate her willingness to listen to our needs and transparency with what she is able to do and what is beyond her control. She is very timely and responsive to all of our questions (and we did have a lot). Her team is organized was diligent with following up with guests as the deadlines for payment were coming up. She was there from start to finish and also reachable via phone/email during the entire trip to ensure that all the guests were happy with their accommodations at the Hard Rock Hotel. We can’t thank Modern Romance enough! We are forever grateful for their partnership in making our dream wedding come true!

Melissa and her team took care of all airport transfers and hotel reservations for our destination wedding in Mexico. They were super responsive and so on top of everything that it took a huge load off our shoulders. They were extremely upfront about the entire process and kept us informed throughout about the status of our guests as well as any payments due or refunds owed. I would highly recommend Modern Travel Romance to anyone looking to plan a destination wedding. Melissa was truly the best part of the wedding planning process for me. When I couldn't get in touch with the planner at my resort, she took the initiative to get me in touch via both phone call and email. When we had last minute changes to some guest rooms, Melissa and Aimee took care of them promptly. Everything went smoothly once everyone arrived and she even took care of us with surprises at the resort as well. Zero complaints and would 200% recommend to anyone! They are highly experienced and knowledgeable and a joy to work with!

Planning a wedding is already stressful enough and add in the complexity of doing a destination wedding can be quite overwhelming but the MR team was always responsive and proactive in ensuring things go smoothly. We booked Modern Romance Travel for our destination wedding in Los Cabos. Melissa and her team were great! Our guests found them very helpful and responsive when booking their rooms or about any questions they needed answered with regards to getting to MX. When there were some hiccups with the hotel/onsite coordinator, I came to Melissa with my concerns and she stepped in to help ensure the Management was informed and to let them know what issues I was having so that they could try to get some issues resolved. I appreciate her taking the time to get involved so that my concerns would not be brushed off. Her team was always responsive and helpful with everything leading up to our departure to our Destination . I definitely recommend having a travel coordinator for any destination wedding!
