My name is Melissa Cottone, and if you’re here, chances are you’re planning something exciting. A destination wedding. A honeymoon. A girls trip. Maybe you’re just trying to figure out where to start because every resort on the internet looks exactly the same.

I’ve been a travel advisor for over four years helping couples plan destination weddings, honeymoons, bachelorette trips, cruises, and unforgettable getaways throughout Mexico, the Caribbean, and beyond.

Destination Brides Club was created because I got tired of watching couples spend hours researching, scrolling social media, reading Facebook groups, and somehow ending up more confused than when they started.

So instead of creating another overwhelming website, I built a place where you can find real destination guides, resort reviews, planning tools, templates, inspiration, vendor recommendations, and resources that actually help you make decisions.

Because wedding planning is stressful enough. Finding information shouldn’t be.

Outside of travel, I’ve been married for over a decade and have two daughters who act like Donnie Thornberry in the absolute best way possible.

I love charcuterie boards, fish tacos, fruity drinks, concerts, and planning my next adventure. If I’m not working, there’s a good chance I’m either hanging out with my family, exploring a new destination, or researching resorts because apparently I don’t know how to turn my travel brain off.
