Job description

Job brief

Join Elite Escapes and turn your passion for travel into your next career.

As a Remote Destination Wedding Travel Planner, you'll help couples turn their we do into an unforgettable travel experience. By combining travel planning expertise with a warm, consultative sales approach, you'll guide couples and their guests from the first wedding vision to confirmed bookings — whether it's a beachfront ceremony, an intimate European celebration, a luxury resort wedding, or a group getaway with family and friends.

What You Do

• Design customized destination-wedding travel plans, including flights, resort stays, room blocks, transfers, cruises, excursions, and honeymoon extensions.
• Connect with couples to understand their wedding vision, guest needs, budget, preferred destination, and non-negotiables—then present tailored options and confidently guide them through booking.
• Coordinate travel details for wedding groups, helping ensure guests have clear booking options, payment timelines, and support before departure.
• Respond to questions and changes with professionalism and care, including payments, room upgrades, guest additions, date changes, transfer needs, and special requests.
• Elevate each celebration with meaningful details: romantic excursions, welcome experiences, local activities, honeymoon ideas, and unforgettable wow moments for the couple and their guests.
• Support clients from the initial consultation through travel, including pre-departure communication, on-trip assistance, and post-wedding follow-up.

What You Bring

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills; comfortable guiding couples through decisions, answering concerns, and helping them confidently move forward.
• The ability to organize multiple moving pieces, from guest lists and room options to payment schedules, travel documents, and group logistics.
• A willingness to learn new tools, including CRMs, supplier portals, booking platforms, and group-travel systems.
• A background in weddings, sales, customer service, hospitality, events, or travel is a plus—but it is not required. Full training is provided.
• A genuine love for romance, celebrations, travel, and helping people create meaningful memories.

What You Get

• A fully remote opportunity with part-time or full-time flexibility.
• Comprehensive onboarding and continued coaching on destination weddings, preferred suppliers, resorts, group coordination, and sales-focused travel planning.
• A collaborative and supportive team environment.
• Room to grow and specialize in areas such as Caribbean weddings, luxury celebrations, honeymoons, cruises, all-inclusive resorts, or group travel.

Destination weddings involve many details—but if you are the person who enjoys bringing calm, clarity, and excitement to a couple's biggest celebration, you'll thrive in this role. You'll help turn wedding ideas into smooth travel plans, happy guests, and memories that last far beyond the ceremony.
