The VowsAway Difference
White-glove service.
One advisor.
Start to finish.
When you reach out, you get me — not a form, not a queue. I handle every detail from your first conversation through your wedding day and beyond.
No handoffs. No ticket systems. No strangers answering your questions. Just one person who knows your names, your vision, and your guest list.
Room Blocks Are My SpecialtyWhether you're bringing 30 guests or 150+, I negotiate directly with resort group sales, compare contracts and concessions, and manage deadlines and inventory — so you don't become everyone's travel agent.
Every Destination, Every BudgetMexico and the Caribbean are the most requested — but I go further. Europe, Bali, Southeast Asia. I've booked them all.
Custom Wedding Hub for Your GuestsI set up a beautiful wedding website where your guests RSVP, book rooms, and get updates — so the questions come to me instead of flooding your inbox.
Connected to Your Resort Wedding PlannerFrom the start, I connect you directly with your resort's dedicated wedding planner — then stay actively involved to make sure every detail is being handled exactly the way you want it.

How Destination Wedding Room Blocks Actually Work
Attrition clauses, cutoff dates, comp rooms, concessions. The contract terms that decide whether your block helps you or costs you.

For Bigger Weddings
Bringing a crowd? Even better.
Large guest lists are where most couples get overwhelmed and where I do my best work. Here is what I take off your plate — including your honeymoon, which I'll plan right alongside the wedding.
The Room Block
Contracts, rates, concessions, inventory and deadlines — negotiated directly with resort group sales and managed for you from signing through final payment.
The Guests
A dedicated wedding hub gives everyone one place to book, RSVP, and get their questions answered — so they stop texting you at ten at night.
The Resort
I stay between you and the resort team the entire time, watching the details and advocating for your wedding so nothing quietly goes missing.
50 guests or 150+, you get to be the couple — not the group travel coordinator.

Meet Your Advisor
Hi, I'm Kris.
Award-Winning Room Block Specialist · ARC & IATA Accredited
I've spent over a decade in this industry, and what I'm best at is room blocks. I go straight to the resort's group sales manager and negotiate — no preset packages, no fixed rate card. These resorts know me, they want my business, and that's how I get your guests rates they couldn't find on their own.
After ten years with big travel corporations, I started VowsAway so I could stay with my couples through the entire process — not hand you off halfway and never hear how the day went. When you email me, you get me. Every time, start to finish.
And I love love. I want to hear how you met, what your families are like, and what you picture when you close your eyes and imagine the day. Then I build everything around that.
Coordinating 100 guests is the part most couples dread. It's the part I love.
I'd love to hear your story and start planning — the wedding, the room block, and the honeymoon after.
Launched August 2026
New brand.
Not a new advisor.
VowsAway opened its doors in August 2026 — but I have been planning destination weddings and negotiating resort room blocks for over a decade. Here is exactly what I bring to your wedding.
Award-Winning Room Block Specialist
Recognized by AIC Hotel Group for room block sales performance. I negotiate directly with resort group sales managers — not preset packages — and average 40 rooms per block across 10 to 15 blocks a month.
10+ Years, Millions Booked
Over a decade in travel with more than $2 million in annual bookings, ranking in the top 2% of more than 400 advisors. I have coordinated groups from 20 guests to a 250-room program overseas.
ARC & IATA Accredited
Fully accredited and working within Sabre, Galileo, and Amadeus. Your bookings are protected, properly ticketed, and backed by industry-standard errors & omissions coverage.
Backed by Vincent Vacations
I am powered by Vincent Vacations, an award-winning agency with Platinum status across the Dreams, Secrets, and Breathless collections, preferred partnerships with Sandals, and CLIA Premier certification. That means real leverage with the resorts you actually want.
Reviews are coming!
Be one of my first VowsAway couples
VowsAway launched in August 2026, but I'm not new to destination weddings — I've spent more than a decade planning travel and managing groups.
I could fill this page with praise from couples I've helped elsewhere, but those trips weren't booked through VowsAway. I'd rather be completely transparent and earn every review here from scratch.
Maybe yours will be one of the first.
