Dream Day Away

Destination & Romance Travel Specialist

About

Miranda Bukowicki - Calgary Destination Wedding Specialist

Do you love the idea of saying "I do" under the swaying palm trees, or maybe with the soft sound of waves crashing in the background? I sure do, and I can also recognize the need for today’s couples to connect with the right travel professional who truly understands the ins and outs of Destination Weddings.

I am an Independent Travel Professional under the umbrella of Escapes.ca, an award winning agency within the Ensemble Travel Group. I have been in the travel industry since 2006, planning amazing journeys all over the world. After my own wedding & honeymoon I realized that romance travel was a niche I am passionate about, and have now become a dedicated Destination Wedding Specialist. Being able to guide each couple through this journey and seeing the end result is truly rewarding. Regardless if you are planning a small intimate affair or an elaborate event, I would love to get to know you and help create your own dream day away.

Getting Started

Planning your Destination Wedding is an exciting, yet slightly overwhelming time.

You may be wondering where to start?
Not to worry - here are my top tips to put you on the right path:

  • Focus on your "why"
    Perhaps you are a travel addict, and have always envisioned your big day to be in an exotic locale? Or maybe the thought of organizing a wedding at home with the guest list pressure is making you cringe? Whatever your reason is, knowing why you want to getting married abroad will help serve as motivation as you go through the initial planning process.

  • Survey your Family & Friends
    Unless you plan to elope, getting the important people in your life onboard with the idea of travelling is a very important step in the planning process. Knowing that you have the full support of those you love the most will make everything go that much smoother.

  • Stay true to yourselves
    When planning any wedding you will find that advice is being given to you by everyone you know, take a deep breath and remember that this is YOUR big day. If your dream is to be married oceanfront while watching the magnificent sunset, go for it! This is the one day in your lives where it is truly all about the two of you.

  • Consult with a Professional

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to start booking my wedding?
Ideally you should begin the booking process 12-18 months in advance, depending on your chosen destination. It is also possible to plan on shorter notice, though you may have to be more flexible due to potential availability constraints. Booking early generally provides you with the best pricing and promotions, as well as ample time for your guests to plan their vacation time and budgets accordingly.

Are you also a wedding planner?
I work with resorts / cruise lines who have amazing wedding teams, therefore I do leave the wedding planning in their capable hands so that I can put my focus solely on travel coordination. I find it is best to not be the middle man in the planning process, but I am always happy to offer my advice or step in and help with communication when needed. It is very important to me that your wedding planning experience is a positive one and I have all of the necessary contacts to ensure that you are well taken care of.

What destinations do you specialize in?
My main focus is on Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America. I work primarily with all-inclusive resort packages and cruises. I travel several times a year to inspect the resorts and experience the destinations in order to provide as much firsthand knowledge as possible.
