New YouTube series features destination wedding experts answering couples’ biggest planning questions on locations, costs, contracts, and logistics.
(PRUnderground) November 26th, 2025
Destination Wedding Directory has announced the launch of its new “Ask the Expert” video series, created to give engaged couples honest, practical answers about planning a destination wedding. Hosted on the Destination Wedding Directory YouTube and supported by the Destination Wedding Directory Facebook Group of more than 100,000 couples and vendors, the series is designed to help viewers cut through confusion, avoid costly mistakes, and make confident decisions about their wedding budget, location, and logistics when planning a wedding abroad.
The first episodes feature destination wedding travel advisor Sarah Kline of Time For Travel and romance travel specialist Victoria Fricke of Vic’s Vacations. Kline focuses on how working with a dedicated destination wedding travel professional can protect a couple’s investment from the very beginning. She explains how an experienced advisor helps couples choose the right resort for their priorities, navigate the fine print around group contracts and room blocks, and advocate for them when policies or plans change.
Fricke, a TravelPulse 40 Under 40 honoree and established industry leader, centers her episode on how couples can maximize their destination wedding budget without compromising their vision. She walks couples through common ranges of $10,000 to $30,000 USD for tropical weddings in Mexico and the Caribbean, typical deposit requirements for weddings and room blocks, and how group perks and shoulder-season dates can stretch a destination wedding budget further.
“No two destination weddings are exactly alike,” Fricke said. “My goal is to help couples understand what to put their money into, what they can let go of, and how to feel confident about their budget decisions.”
Across the series, experts answer the kinds of questions couples ask every day in the Destination Wedding Directory community, including whether it is possible to host a 70-guest wedding for under $10,000 USD, how to choose between an all-inclusive resort and a private villa, and when it makes sense to fly in trusted vendors. Each episode is designed to give couples concrete next steps they can take immediately, rather than vague inspiration.
In 2026, the series will continue its expansion, a core mission for Destination Wedding Directory, which is led by Melbourne-based couple Jo and Jon Winter. Drawing on their own firsthand experience planning three destination wedding celebrations to include loved ones around the world, the Winters are commissioning new episodes featuring leading vendors and deep dives into planning in specific destinations, helping couples move from overwhelm to a clear, realistic plan.
“Between legalities, contracts, group travel, and family expectations, it is easy for couples to feel lost,” said Jo Winter, owner of Destination Wedding Directory. “The vendors in our 100,000-strong Facebook Group do an incredible job answering daily questions from couples, but we wanted a video resource to complement the group. Ask the Expert brings reliable destination wedding specialists into one place and takes those complicated topics and breaks them down into simple, confident next steps for couples planning from afar.”
