To us, storytelling means
listening deeply
to who you are
and then weaving that into a
celebration that feels uniquely yours
certified sandals, dreams, and secrets destination wedding and travel planner
Most couples come to us with a dream and a little bit of overwhelm. You might have a destination in mind… or maybe just a feeling. You know you want something meaningful. Something beautiful. Something that feels like your love story. But the logistics? The decisions? The pressure of getting it right for your guests, your families, and yourselves? That part can feel heavy.
That’s where Storytellers comes in.
We don’t believe destination weddings and honeymoons are just trips to book. We believe they’re milestones. Chapters in your story that deserve intention, care, and someone walking beside you who truly understands what this moment means.
This is why we're called Storytellers:
Because years from now, you won’t remember every detail.
But you’ll remember how it felt.
how we're different
(who we are...really)
We Start With Your Story, Not a Sales Pitch
Before we ever talk about resorts or packages, we talk about you.
How you met. What you value. Who you want standing beside you. What you want this experience to feel like — not just on the wedding day, but in the quiet moments around it.
Because when we understand your story, we can guide you toward a destination and resort that actually fits. Not what’s trendy. Not what’s easiest. What feels right.
We Plan Like It’s Personal, Because It Is!
We’ve built Storytellers on relationships, not transactions.
That means we show up. We answer the questions. We explain the details. We think three steps ahead so you don’t have to. We advocate for you with resort wedding teams, help your guests feel confident booking their travel, and step in when things feel confusing or overwhelming.
We don’t disappear after the deposit is paid. We stay present from the first “what if?” to the moment you’re home, reliving it all.
We Only Recommend What We Trust
There are a lot of resorts in the world. We don’t work with all of them and that’s intentional.
We partner again and again with resorts and wedding teams that consistently care for our couples the way we would want to be cared for ourselves. Resorts that communicate clearly, honor their promises, and understand that this isn’t just another event on a calendar — it’s your wedding.
When we make a recommendation, it’s because we trust the experience behind it.
We Take Care of Your Guests, Too
One of the biggest hidden stresses of a destination wedding is managing everyone else’s questions.
Flights. Rooms. Payments. Deadlines. Passports. Transfers.
We take that off your plate.
Your guests have a clear point of contact, personalized support, and guidance every step of the way, which means fewer messages for you and a smoother experience for the people you love most.
We Believe the Best Moments Happen When You Can Finally Let Go
The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is presence.
It’s laughing with your favorite people in a place that feels like magic. It’s standing still for a moment and realizing this chapter is becoming a memory you’ll carry forever.
When planning is done with care, trust, and intention, you’re free to enjoy what actually matters.
Who You'll Work With
hannah reed + Courtney Thomas
The Storytellers brand was born from a friendship and a shared dream. We’re Hannah Reed and Courtney Thomas—two travel advisors who met, connected instantly, and quickly realized our values and visions aligned. Our families clicked, our conversations grew deeper, and travel became the backdrop for dreaming big together. The idea for Storytellers took shape during a long drive through the Smoky Mountains on our way to a retreat, where endless conversation sparked a vision for something more meaningful. That vision became Storytellers: a brand devoted to helping couples write the next chapter of their love story through unforgettable destination weddings, honeymoons, and thoughtfully planned travel. We take care of the logistics, resort partnerships, and guest coordination so our couples can simply show up, celebrate fully, and savor the moments that matter most. At our core, we’re still two friends who love to dream together—now honored to bring those dreams to life for couples and families celebrating love in extraordinary places.
