Erica R. Getting married on 05/07/2023Wedding Planning Services Were Amazing - Travel Services Could Be Improved
TRAVEL AGENCY: Marsha did a great job helping us find a beautiful resort within our budget for our wedding in Cancun. Another perk was that we received complimentary upgrades to our airplane seats and hotel room as the bride and groom and had the potential to receive additional free travel and accommodations if we had a certain number of guests book through her services. Marsha and her team were always responsive when communicating with us (bride and groom). She also began the preliminary wedding planning process with us and outlined the resort wedding packages with us.
Where we felt the service had room for improvement is the communication and responsiveness with our guests. We had multiple guests say that they had a hard time getting a response in a timely manner. We also had guests tell us that they received tickets and refunds for our other guests. Lastly, we were stressed out the week prior to our departure when we received the seating manifest in which a majority of our guests were not sitting beside the people they were rooming with. To Masha's credit, this was resolved in the next couple of days, but it was an additional stress we had to deal with.
WEDDING PLANNING: Harumi started the wedding planning process 9 months prior to our wedding day. She was always on top of getting us quotes, speaking to and finding vendors, and coordinating with the resort on our behalf. Bringing Harumi with you to your destination wedding is an absolute must. Throughout the whole process, she was extremely responsive, accommodating, and worked tirelessly to ensure that our wedding was coordinated and that all our guests were happy (We had a couple of guests who were not happy with their rooms and she made sure they got new rooms, she coordinated excursions, looked into any resort issues, made reservations). She is very caring and detail-oriented and did everything she could to make our time as easy as possible. If you are on the fence about having her come with you, we would 100% recommend you bring her as we found she was such a valuable resource and a great person to have making sure everything about your destination wedding runs as smoothly as possible.

I am so glad I used Marsha Steeves Destination Wedding for my Wedding in Mexico. With Marsha's knowledge of the resorts and different areas we were able to make an informed decision about which resort would be our best choice for the wedding. Marsha was easy to work with and I felt at ease knowing I had someone from Vancouver that I could call if I had any issues. Marsha got all of our guests booked right away and was able to help out with any needs my guests had. I had multiple guests coming from different provinces and Marsha was able to get them booked as well with no problems. Harumi is very sweet and was efficient at organizing all the wedding details for us. Harumi is very knowledgeable about the resorts and is full of good suggestions for the wedding. The best decision I made about my wedding was bringing Harumi down with me to Mexico. She made sure our wedding vision came true and was on top of everything the whole week. A big thanks to Marsha and Harumi for ensuring our wedding dreams came true! -

Louriel Married on 15/11/2017Wonderful Team made our dream day a reality
Marsha and Harumi did everything possible to ensure our wedding was all we had dreamed of! Harumi took a lot of time and care to help plan every detail with me and go over all my ideas I wanted for the wedding. Marsha is an amazing person with the kindest heart. She flew with us to Cabo and made sure our wedding was nothing short of a fairytale - even getting a huge trampoline removed for us from the site of the wedding by the hotel (it took 30 people to carry it away). Everything they did was over and above our expectations! -

David Married on 12/05/2017I've arranged many holidays on my own but when it came to planning our getaway wedding there were just too many concerns and questions. I contacted Marsha at Destination Weddings and after our first meeting I knew we were in good hands. It was not only a perfect wedding but absolutely the best trip we've ever been on.

Suelynn Married on 07/08/2009We booked Maraha to help us plan our wedding in England where we now live . We got married in ancient Saxon church , it was stunning ! Parts of the original building date back to early 12th century . Our photographer was very talented but just starting up his business so he did all our wedding photos and attended for the entire day for £200 plus travel expenses !! And our photos looked amazing ! We had a lovely 3 course meal for around 75 people . We had a large reception at a local venue that was quaint but charming about 250 attended in the evening . The reception featured ballon displays arrange in beautiful arches and displays as well as an exploding balloon that went off at the end of the first dance . We also had a sumptuous 3 tier vanilla sponge cake with vivid blue hydrangeas trailing down and around it . Was a lovely day and Marsha was there to oversee it all and make sure everything ran smoothly and efficiently / would recommend her services to anyone enquiring . -

Lawson B. Married on 06/06/2006I know from our long association that Marsha Steeves is a passionate, super devoted lifelong master of the travel industry. She keeps as personally involved as possible with all her clients with active itineraries and doesn't rest until she knows that everything is perfect. She takes tremendous satisfaction and pride hearing appreciation and praise feedback from her travelers after their trips. I can see it takes a great deal of diligence and dealing with the unexpected to keep everything running well and as planned.
Recently, I researched and planned a stay at a Club Med, for another family and mine, and then called upon Ms Steeves to place the booking. She took it on herself to dig around and negotiated an upgrade to the new deluxe waterfront rooms, at almost no extra charge, and what a difference that made to making our stay so great. The other family was unable to travel due to sickness and she helped get the full refund no problem.
We were once stranded abroad on a trip with our return tickets on Pan Am the week the company went belly up. A few phone calls back home to Marsha [on her personal 24/7 cell phone], and the alternate arrangements quickly fell into place to get home. These are the types of things a good travel agent can do that makes a real difference.
I have made multiple bookings over the past few decades with her agency and never a problem. I would strongly recommend and I will continue to use Ms. Steeves services for my travel and vacations. Disclaimer: Please note that specific wedding arrangements services has not been one of their services I have had occasion to use.

As Saint Augustine once said "The World is a book and those that do not travel read only one page."
Travel provides an enlightenment that gives to a much broader perception and ignites positive change. It sometimes can be leaving our comfort zones we have become so accustomed to. I can honestly say "Travel" has left a huge imprint on my life and left me with many cherished memories and it is the very reason I could only wish others the opportunity to experience the same.
My travel credentials I hold with Nationwide Travel College, ACTA and CITC. Wedding Planning with WPICC & DWC. I find great satisfaction in using my skills of qualifying my clients and matching them to that perfect destination experience. Whether it's a destination wedding or a honeymoon, I endeavor to always provide the highest level of service and expertise.
