fREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
"DO YOU PLAN THE WEDDING AND HANDLE TRAVEL?"
Yes—and that’s what sets us apart.
We’re not just planners with a passport. As certified travel specialists and expert event producers, we manage every layer of your wedding—from the curated guest experience and resort logistics to the champagne tower and beachfront vows. You get one point of contact, one cohesive vision, and no stress.
“WE'RE EXCITED - BUT TOTALLY OVERWHELMED. WHERE DO WE START?
You’re not alone. Most of our couples are planning their first destination wedding—and we’re here to guide you. We begin with a vision-setting session, walk you through destination options, design timelines, and guest logistics—then take it from there. You’ll never feel like you’re doing this alone.
Let’s co-create a celebration that’s as effortless as it is unforgettable.
"WE HAVE A RESORT COORDINATOR, WHY DO WE NEED TO HIRE YOU?"
Think of your resort or villa coordinator as managing the venue.
We manage your entire wedding experience.
From creative direction and custom styling to your full vendor team and guest communications—we advocate for your vision from start to finish. We love collaborating with onsite teams—but we work for you.
"CAN YOU HELP OUR GUESTS BOOK THEIR TRAVEL TOO?"
Absolutely. We offer white-glove guest travel services—from flights and hotel reservations to airport transfers and travel tips. Your guests receive a personalized travel portal with key details, and we act as their concierge leading up to the wedding. No confusion. No group texts gone wild.
"WOULDN'T IT BE EASIER IF OUR GUESTS JUST BOOKED THEIR OWN TRAVEL?"
It might seem easier—but it often leads to confusion, missed perks, and scattered arrivals.
When guests book on their own:
-You lose access to group rates and upgrade opportunities
-There’s no guaranteed inventory or travel protection.
-You may not meet resort minimums, which can impact your wedding benefits
-No one is managing delayed flights, transportation, or last-minute changes
We take that burden off your plate.
By handling travel contracts, room blocks, and guest communication, we ensure everyone arrives informed, excited, and fully supported—without you becoming the group travel agent.
You focus on the celebration. We handle the logistics.
“WE ALREADY HAVE A LOCATION PICKED. CAN WE STILL HIRE YOU?"
Yes. Whether you've chosen your resort or are still exploring options, we can step in to elevate your design, vendor strategy, and on-site coordination. Think of us as your personal wedding producers—tailoring the celebration to fit you perfectly.
“HOW DO WE MANAGE TIME ZONES, LANGUAGE BARRIERS, OR INTERNATIONAL VENDORS?”
That’s where experience matters.
We handle communications, negotiate contracts, and maintain a planning portal where everything lives—from your timeline to your tasting menus. With years of international travel planning under our belt, we keep things efficient, clear, and organized across all borders.
“IS IT EXPENSIVE FOR US TO HAVE YOU ON-SITE WITH US?
Not compared to the value of peace of mind. Our travel allowance is clearly outlined in your proposal, covering airfare, lodging, and per diem. In return, you get someone on-site and in control—running the show while you sip champagne and soak in the moment.
“ARE DESTINATION WEDDINGS LEGALLY RECOGNIZED?”
Many couples choose to do the legal paperwork at home and opt for a symbolic ceremony at the destination. Depending on the destination, it could be easier, more flexible, and avoid complications. But we’ll walk you through both options and help you decide what’s best.
“HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE START PLANNING?”
Ideally, 12–15 months before your ideal date. But we’ve pulled off stunning celebrations in far less time. We also limit the number of weddings we accept in order to maintain our white-glove level of service so you want to risk us being unavailable.
Bottom line?
If you’re ready, we’re ready.
“DO YOU ONLY PLAN INTERNATIONAL WEDDINGS? WHAT IF WE'RE GETTING MARRIED IN THE U.S.?"
We plan where your story takes us.
A destination wedding isn’t just about the location—it’s about traveling to a place that’s meaningful, even if it’s domestic. Whether you're dreaming of a vineyard in Napa, an estate in Atlanta, a mountaintop in Asheville, or an art museum in Chicago—if your wedding takes you or your guests away from home, it’s a destination.
We also work with couples who live in one city, but are planning a wedding in another—whether it’s where they met, where their families are, or a location they fell in love with during travel.
We’ve planned “local” weddings for couples who live out-of-state or even abroad. With our virtual tools, expert vendor connections, and travel concierge services, your experience will feel just as polished and personalized—no matter the zip code.
“WHY AISHA THOMAS EVENTS & DESTINATIONS?”
Because you deserve a planner who:
-Understands luxury and logistics
-Offers both full-service planning and travel concierge
-Brings trusted global partnerships to your celebration
-Has walked the resorts, built the timelines, and poured champagne at destination weddings around the world
I’m more than a planner who “has a passport and will travel.” I’m your strategist, stylist, advocate, and logistics queen—from proposal to passport stamp.
