    I'm Lara Ashbaugh, a Certified Travel Agent who specializes in Destination Weddings and Honeymoons.

    Each wedding and honeymoon is as unique as the couples they are for.  I help curate a bespoke experience for you and your guests.

    Destination Weddings:

    • Do you dream of getting married with your toes in the sand?
    • Is your vision a small intimate gazebo surrounded by lush, tropical greenery?
    • Or maybe you want 3 days of a party with the people closest to you.

    We can make these become a reality!

    I work with you on your vision, priorities, and budget.  I will curate a list of resorts that meet your needs and work together with you on all of the details to bring this vision to life.

    I will also help ensure your guests know how to get booked and how to maximize their time.

    All you have to worry about are the wedding details.  I take care of all the guest and travel logistics!

    How I cater to offbeat weddings

    The values I live by are: knowledge, understanding, experiencing, inclusion and connection.

    I believe that a wedding and a honeymoon are a time to celebrate your love and connection.  Connection to each other and to those in your life whose relationship you value.

    Everyone should have fun and feel free to be who they are throughout every step in the process.  Everyone should feel safe to express their wants and needs.

    I use gender neutral language in my contracts and seek to understand YOUR language.  I will ensure that the resorts and destinations will be inclusive and welcoming to your relationship.

    That is my key to being an offbeat wedding vendor.  It’s about YOU!  I want to get to know you and your partner.  I want to collaborate in bringing your vision of a destination wedding or honeymoon to life.  I want your experience to be fun, safe, and memorable.

    I’m a blue haired, plus-sized, cis-gender woman, and lover of all things nerdy; who is a strong ally for the LGBTQ community.  I am inclusive and nonjudgmental.

    Love is Love.  You are You.  And I think you are amazing.  I can’t wait to get to know you and how we can work together.

    Lara was great to work with. She really understood my vision. Lara was responsive to me and my guests questions. Everyone knew what was happening and where to get answers for their questions. She always made me feel like she was excited and happy to talk to me. - Erica
