Planning a Destination Wedding Shouldn't Feel This Hard
You deserve to enjoy your engagement, not spend it stressed, overwhelmed, and wondering if you're making the right destination wedding decisions.
Here's what you really need for your destination wedding:
A trusted destination wedding planner who has been there, done that, and genuinely cares about getting every detail right. Someone who listens to your vision, educates you on the best destination wedding locations, and handles the logistics so you can actually breathe.
That's where I come in as your destination wedding specialist.
I specialize in helping busy, accomplished couples plan luxury destination weddings in Mexico (Cancun, Riviera Maya, Cabo, Puerto Vallarta), the Caribbean (Jamaica, St. Lucia, Dominican Republic, Turks & Caicos), the Maldives, and the South Pacific — without the chaos, confusion, or costly mistakes.
My clients value expertise, thoughtful guidance, and peace of mind. They are ready to invest in a well-curated experience and understand that meaningful, beautifully planned journeys require care, time, and intention
Luxury. Connection. Care.
I’m Sh’nee Smith, a Certified Destination Wedding & Travel Specialist based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the founder of Blissfully Demure Journeys.
Before I became a destination wedding coordinator, I was a Nurse Practitioner. For years, I cared for patients, educated them on their treatment options, and advocated for their well-being. I loved the teaching part most, helping people understand their choices so they could make confident decisions.
That same determination drives me for my weddings. I had my own destination wedding and I learned firsthand how stressful destination wedding planning can be without the right support. I had a decorator, but no one to handle the logistics, vendor coordination, or guest management for our destination wedding. It was overwhelming.
That experience fueled my mission: to be the destination wedding planner I wish I'd had. So I don't just plan destination weddings… I educate, guide, and care for you like I did my patients.
You'll never feel rushed, pressured, or left in the dark during your destination wedding planning process. I'll walk you through every decision, explain your options, and make sure you feel confident every step of the way.
