About Us

From Stressed to Success: Our Story

My fiancé and I knew we wanted to have a destination wedding since our first all-inclusive trip as a couple, but the newly-engaged excitement and butterflies soon turned into stress and anxiety when I realized how much work it would be to not only plan a wedding from another country, but to also organize travel for all my guests! I was so relieved when I found a travel agent to help with the process only to find out that she wasn’t a destination wedding expert; I ended up organizing every aspect of travel for my 90 invitees and the added stress was like a dark cloud over the wedding planning process. After returning from beautiful Punta Cana, I wanted to make sure no other bride has to go through the same stress I did. Coupled with my love for all things wedding and travel, I started Barefoot Bridal with the mission to transform the path from stress to success for every wedding couple we help.

At our agency, we believe in delivering a stress-free experience like no other. Our core value is to provide exceptional services that go above and beyond what other agencies offer. As a fee-free agency, we are committed to ensuring that you can enjoy the wedding planning process without any additional financial burden.
