Yellow Umbrella travel specializes in honeymoon locations in Mexico and Jamaica. And we can’t wait to work with you to build your perfect first vacation as a married couple!
Since you’ve probably never planned a honeymoon before, you probably have a lot of questions, so let’s get started –
Q.) Where do we start first?
A.) It all starts with a phone call to us at #512-955-1320 or you can contact us here. We’re going to ask you a ton of questions to discover what you and your future spouse want out of your honeymoon. From there we’ll offer some options that fit your spending plan and you can decide which honeymoon fits you both the best.
Q.) How much do you charge?
A.) We don’t charge any fees to help you plan your honeymoon because the hotel/resort actually pays us. We do require a $75 deposit to start the planning process. But don’t worry – once you’ve booked, we’ll credit that $75 to your honeymoon’s final payment!
Q.) Since the resort pays you, does that make it cost more for us?
A.) No, actually, it doesn’t cost you any more to work with us for your honeymooon planning. In fact, you’ll likely save a ton of time and have a lot more fun!
You see, the resorts kind of love us travel advisors because they know that when we call, we’re for real. We’re not kicking tires. We’re not goofing around. We’re calling because we have actual clients that might stay in their resort, and they’ve set aside funds to pay travel planners for us to bring clients to them.
You know what happens if you don’t use a travel planner to book your honeymoon? The resort pockets that fee as extra profit and you pay the same amount you would have anyway – without any potential perks you could have gotten if you had used a travel planner. Sad for us and sad for you.
Q.) Do you offer a Honeymoon Registry so our family and friends can help us pay for our honeymoon?
A.) Yes! Your friends and family are welcome to call us and pay funds in any amount towards your honeymoon.
Of course, you can also sign up at Honeyfund for your honeymoon registry, with low fees – from zero to only 1.8%. Then you can use all of the funds for any part of your honeymoon travel.
Q.) Why should I use a travel planner to book our honeymoon? Can’t I find the same information myself online?
A.) True, you could spend hours upon hours searching site after site after site but that’s not a lot of fun and you’re probably in the middle of planning a wedding right now as well. This can make the honeymoon planning a real drag – and this is supposed to be the fun stuff!
A Travel Planner often knows a lot more about your destination options and can do all of the research and leg work for you, eliminating all the hours of trying to figure it all out on your own. And sometimes we can get you some perks that are only available from a Travel Planner!
Q.) When should we start planning our honeymoon?
A.) As soon as possible. At least 6 months in advance would be ideal but you can start planning 9 months in advance or a month before your intended honeymoon date, depending on how flexible you can be.
Q.) I’ve heard that you should wait until the last minute to get the best travel deals. Is that true?
A.) Not really. We would advise you to book your honeymoon as soon as you can. Last minute airfare can be insane!
By booking early you also have a better chance of getting a non stop flight to your destination. Layovers are no fun when you’re excited to get to your honeymoon!
Q.) When is the best time of year to travel?
A.) That totally depends on where you plan on going. What’s ideal for one location is the worst time for another. We’ll help you decide the best locations for the time of year you’d like to take your honeymoon.
Q.) How much is the deposit?
A.) That varies, based on the location you choose. It a lot of cases, it’s as low as a couple hundred dollars.
Q.) Any other tips we should know about?
A.) Yes, a lot!
