Lara - Romantic Travel Belize

How Can I Help You?

Servicing the Entire Country of Belize

In March 2006 I moved permanently to Belize and 4 years later began helping visitors find the “Best of the Best of Belize” four years later. My experience in the corporate world background collided with my desire to “make things” and POOF, I began hand designing every aspect of a Brides’ wedding and pulling together the finite details of a corporate event. The team of vendors who’ve built their businesses alongside me knows my standards and they meet them every time. You’re not just working with me, you’re trusting in the relationships built after many years of small country living.

So Many Options

Beaches, Mountains, Jungles, Boats and Catamarans, Waterfalls and Maya Sites, to name a few...

The Planning Process

After more than a decade of planning weddings for folks in the tiny country of Belize, I have observed that planning a destination wedding is really quite formulaic. (Your List of Variables) x (Your Rough Budget) = Your Bespoke Experience

Lara and her crew are absolutely amazing! My husband and I got married on May 17, 2019, and everything was beautiful. I put complete trust into Lara and her designs for our big day and I was stunned at how perfect everything was. We had the most amazing wedding. We still can't Belize it! All of our guests and ourselves had the time of our lives and can't wait to come back!! Thank you so much, Lara and staff!!! You will never know how grateful we are.

Planning any wedding is stressful, but when that wedding is on a small island in a foreign country-that stress doubles! Immediately, we could tell that Lara was very experienced, and she did a wonderful job of putting us at ease. We worked closely together through phone and email to put together our dream wedding, and it wouldn't have been possible without Lara. Our wedding day was put in jeopardy due to weather, but Lara and her crew were able to roll with the punches, resulting in a spectacular wedding that left our guests saying "This is the best wedding I've ever been to!" We couldn't have been happier with our wedding day. It was absolutely beautiful and perfect, and completely unique to what we had in mind. Thanks!

Jacelyn and Phil

We just want to thank you for all that you did for us to make our wedding so memorable. It was completely awesome! You are so skilled at what you do, all of the guests were blown away at how a beach wedding could be done so elegant. All of the vendors were also great. Alejandro killed my makeup! Galy was super patient and creative with shots. The food on both nights was great, and you already know my view of the cake! lol We also thought the officiant's ceremony was done very meaningful. I won't make this a long gushy email, I just want you to know that we really appreciate how hard you worked to make our day perfect!

Kim and Rich

We just wanted to thank you so much for all that you did to make our 50th celebration so PERFECT. The flowers were so beautiful. The lovely cake was also so delicious. We really appreciate all of the many touches you added to make our celebration so special. We also enjoyed working with you.

Matt and Tara

It was wonderful Lara. Thanks so much for your assistance. Tara was constantly blow away and we wouldn’t of been able to make it happen without your help. Attached are some pictures from the trip.

My boyfriend and I decided to travel to Belize on very short notice - about 4 days before our planned departure date. We contacted Lara after a few agents told us that they couldn't help us with such a small planning window. Lara swooped into the rescue and sorted out a full itinerary for us in no time. She was incredibly responsive and helpful. I explained some of our basic travel concerns and what we were looking for in our trip. She made perfect recommendations and put together our ideal itinerary. She was also flexible and accommodating of our requests for changes even as our planning time was running out. My boyfriend struggles with high anxiety that is triggered in unfamiliar environments. He had never traveled overseas whereas I have a well-worn passport and love new places. We put a huge amount of faith in Lara to create the perfect itinerary that would both feed my adventurous soul while also giving him a sense of stability and comfort in an alien environment. As proof of what a great job she did, my boyfriend had the time of his life, I had a realm of new adventures and our trip to Belize holds memories that we will have for the rest of our lives. I credit Lara completely with making out trip a success. If it weren't for her, we probably won't have been able to go. Lara is fantastic and HIGHLY recommended.

Leann and Wiliam

"Lara is simply amazing as a trip organizer/planner! She helped us with everything and booking adventures through her was simple! I wish there was more we could do for her! Lara’s recommendations were the reason for us having the best wedding ever! The daily tours, the timing of each activity and people she sent us through were nothing short of FABULOUS! For well-practiced travelers, this trip was surely one of BEST thanks to LARA G from romantic travels Belize! We will be back and can't wait to once again experience the beauty that is BELIZE and AMBERGRIS CAYE!!! THANKS LARA!!!!"

Melissa and John

Lara is amazing. Anything and everything we wanted out of our trip we had thanks to Lara. She made everything easy and fun. I would recommend Lara 100%!

Jen and Joe

Lara was fantastic! Upon arrival in Ambergris Caye, she meet us at our hotel, to go over not just our wedding plans, but also the itinerary for our entire trip (which she pretty much planned). Lara was also nice enough to email us at the end of each day to make sure our day's activities went as planned, as well as to confirm plans for the following day- even providing who we'd be meeting and when. I think it's important to mention, we did have one small hiccup, to no fault on Lara's part- what's important about this? While we were out that day enjoying ourselves, she worked out a resolution with the hotel and by the time we got back, it was all taken care of. As for our wedding day, Lara met with us and the venue planner to make sure we all agreed how the venue would be set up and time it would take place. On the actual day, she showed up early to make sure everything was setup correctly, as we were to busy getting ready. Overall she provided a level of personalized service I didn't expect, but thoroughly enjoyed and was even thankful for. That level of service made our wedding and trip stress-free, enable it us to enjoy ourselves and not have to worry. She's a fantastic planner and we'd highly recommend her to anyone.

Lara was a huge help! I could not have done it without her!

Elaine

Lara at Romantic Travel Belize helped plan our entire honeymoon, which was exactly what I needed after planning the wedding for a year and a half. My husband and I had an idea of what we wanted in a honeymoon, and Lara was able to bring it to reality. She was honest, responsive and was always looking out for your best interest. The only thing I wish we had during the trip was a formal itinerary of what was scheduled and if it had been paid for or not, but it didn't keep us back from anything at all. After suggesting the idea to Lara when we got back to the States, she appreciated the suggestion and was going to implement it with her couples moving forward. Overall, I would 100% suggest Lara's services to anyone who wants a great get away without any of the stress.
