Why work with me?
I make destination wedding planning easy.

Planning a wedding is a big deal – planning a wedding in another country can feel overwhelming. It doesn't have to be that way.

My services are free!

As a destination wedding planner, I’m compensated by the resorts and providers, not the happy couple and their guests. My travel services are complementary.

Contract management expertise and support.

Dealing with contracts and deposits for an international wedding can be daunting. I’ll guide you through it all, ensuring everything is clear and safe.

“My husband and I were so lucky to have found Courtney from Liz Moore Destination Weddings...Courtney found options for us that fit our needs and wants so well. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have known about and decided on the Eco Sandos Caracol Resort. We are so happy with our destination wedding experience, all thanks to Courtney. Scheduling meetings with her is so convenient and easy and they were always so productive and helpful. She was quick to help us and is evidently passionate about her job. We definitely recommend working with Courtney.”

“Courtney took time to understand what we were looking for and was very accommodating in making time to meet or considering different options. She was super attentive to our needs, even during the trip itself, and the hotel and wedding package were absolutely divine, and we had the best time. Thank you so much for helping us plan our special day!”

“Excellent!!! I would say that we received VIP service. Courtney went above and beyond. We were a group of 60 people travelling from Toronto, Florida and Europe to Mexico. She made the whole process easy and fun! It was a pleasure meeting her and working with her, it was a year of a lot of preparation, which felt so much easier and peaceful because of her. Thanks for everything Courtney, you are an Angel on earth. I would definitely recommend you and hire your fantastic service in our next adventure in paradise.”

“We booked our destination wedding through Liz Moore Weddings and Courtney is Fabulous! She is professional, organized and her attention to detail is truly exceptional. From the initial planning stages to the final execution, Courtney was a pleasure to work with. She created an unforgettable Dominican Wedding experience for us and our guests. She was always available to answer questions and address any concerns, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. We highly recommend Courtney if you’re looking for quality travel services. Thank you and we appreciate all the hard work and dedication you put forward. You are truly amazing!”

"Courtney made it happen! With less than a 2 month engagement time, she was able to find me the perfect resort with a great package to fit what we were looking for. It met our budget, wedding date, and beach-perfect set up. She made me hope that a quick planning season was possible :) Plus, she also helped me arrange transportation for all of my guests and made herself available for any questions my guests had with booking the rooms. She even made a "how-to" video to assist everyone... Would definitely recommend working with her!"
