Dream Wedding in Cabo

Wayde was awesome! Our wedding was in los cabos Mexico so we were a bit anxious about the planning given the language barrier. Wayde reassured us that he would ensure everything went smoothly and it did. We cant that you enough for helping making our day even better than we could have imagined. Our friends and family were very happy with waydes attention to detail and how he made everyone feel comfortable during our stay there. Cant thank you enough Wayde!

Brutal experience.

Wayde (Weddings by Wayde, Gateway Getaways) was recommended to us by a mutual friend and what started out as a positive experience quickly unravelled into a very, very unpleasant one resulting in Wayde firing himself and leaving us stranded without an agent or contact point with under a month to go before our destination wedding. From not quoting the right prices to our guests to offering no-charge trips to other guests, Wayde was a total mess. He made the experience leading up to our wedding horrible and the only saving grace was that we enjoyed ourselves once in Punta Cana.

I'll also add that there wasn't any transparency with Wayde or the parent company he works for (TravelOnly), just fabricated stories. In fact, with less than a month before our wedding it was revealed that Wayde had not cancelled a guest (who had cancelled over a month before this point) and left us on the hook to pay his cancellation fee. We've been scammed and and stolen from and it's not an experience that will be forgotten anytime soon. Thanks for nothing, Wayde.

Dream Honeymoon

Wayde was absolutely amazing from my very first interaction with him until even after our honeymoon ended. He answered any and all of our questions with pure professionalism and all within a timely manner. I will definitely be recommending him to others and he is now our go to person for all of our travel needs. Thank you so much once again! Vick and Natalie Persaud

Thanks for a fabulous and joyful experience, Weddings By Wayde


My wife and I utilized the services of Weddings By Wayde for our premarital counseling, wedding officiant and travel agent for our honeymoon getaway. My wife and I are happy that we took advantage of the pre-marital counseling sessions offered by Weddings By Wayde. The sessions reinforced that we were ready for the big step to get married. It was a fantastic experience as it allowed my wife (then fiancée) and I to continue growing as a couple. Wayde was a pleasure to interact with, his professionalism and expertise were exemplary.

As our wedding officiant, Wayde performed a very thoughtful, fun and vivid wedding ceremony. My wife and I were extremely pleased with the ceremony; feedback from our guest were all positive as Wayde hit all the pertinent points.

We also utilized Weddings By Wayde as our travel agent to search and reserve our honeymoon getaway. He found a fantastic getaway spot in the Bahamas within our budget.

My wife and I had a fabulous experience on all fronts. Wayde was a joy to interact with as he made us feel relax and comfortable from the first introduction

Amazing as always.

Wayde doesn’t disappoint. He booked our trip for our honeymoon and even though some of our hotel choices messed up and we had to rebook to other hotels he picked awesome choices. Our travel was flawless and he even checked up on us to make sure it was going smooth in Greece and Italy.
I thank him for putting up with my stressful ball of nerves lol and my minor freak outs lol. Even though we booked pretty last minute he made everything wonderful. I would definitely use him again to book my trips.

Excellent and professional service for all your travel needs

I highly recommend booking with Wayde for all your travel needs!
It was the week before our wedding and my husband and I hadn’t settled on a destination for our honeymoon. We ended up talking to Wayde about some suggestions for honeymoon destinations and he was so helpful! What stood out the most for me, was his in depth knowledge in regards to some of the properties and destinations that we asked about and his professionalism. I also appreciated how he listened to both of our concerns and ideas of what we wanted to experience for our honeymoon and presented us with some great recommendations. We ended up booking with Wayde right away and it was a great experience. He took care of everything from the booking, our transfers and etc... he also checked in on us the morning of our flight and when we returned, to see if everything was ok! You cannot ask for a better, or more caring agent than Wayde, to help you plan your honeymoon. Thank you Wayde!!!
Ps... we will be contacting you for all of our future anniversary vacations.... you are just that awesome!
Sincerely,
Sithan & Simonne
