About us

My name is Wendy Wharton, and I founded Destination Dream Weddings because I believe that destination weddings should be about choice and options and about making your dreams come true. Every wedding we plan is unique and special just like you!

From Hobbie to profession

My husband and I made a lot of trips to the Caribbean and Mexico before we finally settled on the Dominican Republic as our home. It was during one of those trips that it all came together for me, and I realized I was meant to be a wedding planner.

Here’s what happened; we were at a resort, you know, the all-inclusive kind, and we were stopped in our tracks by a gorgeous wedding happening on the beach. We stood back and got a bit teary-eyed watching, and then a man in a speedo went screaming and running through the background of this perfect moment! I, personally, felt SO bad for that poor bride!

In that moment I knew without a doubt that I wanted to take my event planning talents and passion to help others have the wedding of their dreams and avoid feeling like their special day is just another event in an assembly line.
