    Destination Wedding

    We wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank Zerlene and Sandra for coordinating our destination wedding. Everything came together so beautifully, and we truly appreciate all the hard work, organization, and attention to detail that went into making the trip such a wonderful experience for us and our guests.

    We had an amazing time, and we’ve heard so many compliments from our family and friends about how much they enjoyed themselves as well. From the travel arrangements to the overall experience, everything went smoothly, and it made our celebration even more special and stress-free.

    Thank you again for all your support throughout the planning process. We’re so grateful for everything you did to help make our wedding unforgettable.

    Dreaming of a Destination Wedding? Zerlene of Destination Bride is your girl !!

    If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding, I cannot recommend Zerlene of Destination Bride highly enough! From the very beginning, she was incredibly attentive, flexible, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. She listened closely to what we wanted and exceeded our expectations at every stage. Her passion and expertise truly stood out. She offered thoughtful suggestions, often highlighting details we hadn’t even considered, which made the planning process much smoother. Her communication was exceptional—she was always available and responsive, no matter the time. Many times, calming me down, letting me vent, and offering reassurance.

    Zerlene played a key role in helping us find the perfect resort in Mexico and, as a dual-certified destination planner and travel agent, she seamlessly coordinated travel, accommodation, and transport for all my guests and even helped coordinate accommodation at the airport for my guests with mobility issues.

    Zerlene coordinated with the resort team to ensure everything stayed on track and, the wedding approached and stress started to build, her support became even more invaluable.

    One of the most meaningful surprises was when she arranged to be there in person for our wedding. Her presence and involvement—especially in coordinating décor and working alongside the on-site team—made the entire experience feel effortless and truly special.

    Working with Zerlene was an absolute pleasure, and our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more. We are so grateful we chose Impresario Events and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to create an unforgettable destination wedding experience.

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Zerlene!

    Exceptional Service from Start to Finish

    Planning a destination wedding is no small task, but thanks to Zerlene Mekdeci, our wedding at Dreams Onyx Punta Cana on April 27,,2026 was absolutely seamless and unforgettable.

    From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, patient, organized, and attentive to every detail. Coordinating travel and accommodations for our guests could have been overwhelming, but she handled everything with such care and efficiency that it allowed us to truly enjoy the experience leading up to our big day.

    Her communication was always prompt, clear, and reassuring, and they went above and beyond to make sure every question was answered and every concern was handled. Her expertise and dedication made us feel completely supported throughout the entire process.

    Because of her hard work, our wedding at Dreams Onyx in Punta Cana was everything we dreamed it would be and more. Our guests had an amazing experience, and we were able to focus on making memories instead of stressing over logistics.

    We are beyond grateful and would highly recommend Zerlene to anyone planning a destination wedding or special trip. Thank you for helping make one of the most important moments of our lives absolutely perfect

    High Fives for The Fives!

    As a retired event planner (44 years)it was difficult to hand over the planning and details for my son and daughter in laws wedding to someone else. But, when I was introduced to Zerlene I felt completely at ease. Zerlene worked with us to find the perfect location for the wedding. She shared all the pros and cons and checked off all the boxes in helping us choose The Fives Beach Resort in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.

    Zerlene was responsive and helpful throughout the planning process and all our guests appreciated her assistance. Everyone loved the hotel and facilities, our 65 guests ranged from infants to seniors and everyone found the resort accommodating for all our needs.

    Once Zerlene introduced us to the Wedding Team at the Fives, we were at ease in all the planning details. Lots of choices and ways to make the day feel special. All the preferred vendors did a great job. The entire week was magical and the wedding day perfect.

    Thanks Zerlene for your insight and guidance throughout the process.

    Mary & Steven's Punta Cana Wedding!

    From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding planner, Zerlene. Planning a destination wedding in Punta Cana while juggling a long-distance relationship and completely crazy work hours felt overwhelming at first — but Zerlene made it not only manageable, she made it truly enjoyable.

    From day one, she was organized, patient, and incredibly attentive. There were so many moments when I felt like my brain was going in a hundred different directions, and somehow she remembered every single detail I forgot. Every email, every timeline adjustment, every tiny décor choice, every vendor coordination — she handled it all flawlessly. It honestly felt like she cared about our wedding as much as we did.

    Planning from afar can be stressful, but she made us feel completely at ease. She kept communication clear and consistent despite time differences and our unpredictable schedules. No matter how busy we were, she met us where we were and kept everything moving forward. I truly don’t know how we could have pulled off such a beautiful destination wedding without her guidance.

    And the wedding day itself? Absolutely seamless. Everything flowed perfectly. We were able to be fully present, soak in every moment, and celebrate with our loved ones without worrying about a single detail. That peace of mind is priceless, and it’s entirely thanks to Zerlene.

    Our Punta Cana wedding was more beautiful than we ever imagined, and so much of that magic was because of her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care. If you are considering a destination wedding — or honestly any wedding at all — do yourself a favor and hire Zerlene.

    10/10 experience. We would recommend her a thousand times over. Thank you for making our dream wedding a reality 🤍

    Zerlene, our agent was fantastic! She was very helpful, informative and responsive throughout the entire process. She helped us find the perfect venue that met our all our needs- The Fives Resort, Playa del Carmen. And she even helped us get started with the wedding coordinators from the resort- there was no point where we were feeling lost. Thank you Zerlene!

    Destination Wedding in Punta Cana

    Zerlene was hands down amazing. I found her on a whim on google, and after dealing with several other wedding travel coordinators, she put me at ease almost immediately. She always made herself available (day and night), guided me and my partner on processes that were complex and overwhelming, and thought of so many things that never even crossed my mind. Being a new bride was very overwhelming at first, but with Zerlene’s help she made everything flow seamlessly. I’d recommend her to anyone who is looking for a good wedding travel or wedding coordinator (as she does both). Her communication skills exceeded my expectations and she was so helpful on everything from start to end.

    Amazing Experience with Destination Bride and Zerlene!

    When my fiancé and I first started looking into destination weddings, I reached out to a few different websites for information. Zerlene was by far the quickest to respond, and right from our very first phone call, I felt completely reassured — she clearly knew her stuff.

    Throughout the entire planning process, Zerlene was incredibly responsive, attentive, and went out of her way to check in with me multiple times to make sure everything was on track. Her support made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable.

    If you’re planning a destination wedding, I highly recommend working with Destination Bride. You’ll be in great hands!

    Highly recommend!

    Zerlene was fantastic. From the minute we started working together she was prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful. She helped us organize an all-inclusive for about 20 of our wedding guests, and she truly managed everything. It was such a weight off of our shoulders with all of the other wedding planning we had to do. I can't recommend her enough if you are looking for someone to help with a destination wedding!
