Discover how my firsthand training and resort tours with AIC Hotel Group help Bella Velvet Destinations create exceptional destination weddings, honeymoons, and luxury romance travel experiences.

When planning a destination wedding, honeymoon, or luxury romantic getaway, choosing the right resort can make all the difference.
While online reviews and social media inspire, nothing compares to firsthand experience.
That’s why I recently participated in an exclusive Familiarization (FAM) Trip and Destination Wedding Training with AIC Hotel Group, where I toured multiple luxury properties, met with resort teams, explored wedding venues, experienced guest accommodations, and received specialized training on destination weddings and group travel.
This hands-on experience allows me to better serve my clients at Bella Velvet Destinations by providing expert guidance based on personal knowledge rather than online research.
As an AIC Hotel Group Destination Wedding Expert, I can confidently match couples with the perfect resort based on their vision, style, guest experience, and wedding goals.
A Destination Wedding Familiarization (FAM) Trip is an exclusive educational experience designed for travel advisors who specialize in destination weddings, romance travel, and group celebrations.
During a FAM trip, travel professionals visit a resort or destination firsthand to experience everything their clients would—from accommodations and dining to wedding venues, ceremony locations, and guest experiences. Rather than relying solely on brochures or websites, advisors gain valuable, real-world knowledge that helps them confidently recommend the perfect destination wedding experience.
These trips often include:
• Guided resort inspections and site tours
• Wedding venue showcases and ceremony setups
• Meetings with wedding coordinators and resort management
• Educational training sessions and certification opportunities
• Networking with other travel professionals
• Hands-on experiences of the destination, amenities, and services
For couples planning a destination wedding, working with an advisor who has attended a FAM trip can provide tremendous value. Their firsthand knowledge allows them to offer personalized recommendations, insider tips, and expert guidance throughout the planning process.
In short, a Destination Wedding FAM Trip transforms travel advisors from destination researchers into destination experts—ensuring couples receive informed advice and a seamless wedding planning experience from start to finish.
