Virtual Destination Wedding launched!

Posted on by Virtual Honeymoon

Virtual Honeymoon is excited to announce the launch of their sister site, Virtual Destination Wedding!

We found adding the wedding planning portion very important, as our virtual tool now not only matches top destinations, but helps plan the wedding as well.

Virtual Destination Wedding was created for Destination Wedding Specialists to use on their couples that have NO idea where they want to go to have their dream wedding!

The perfect client to use this interactive matching tool, is one that is “all over the map” or says something like,
“we dont’ know where we want to get married, maybe some place in the Caribbean?”
This interactive tool SAVES TIME, gets Couples EXCITED & ready to BOOK!

Virtual Destination Wedding is a interactive destination matching tool, Wedding planners are using for those time-consuming clients that are “all over the map” find their top two destination matches and virtually experience it before booking, thus closing the sale!
Our software is very intuitive, using scoring + algorithm to search & match destinations, combining 360*VR technology, we are revolutionizing the way SMART PLANNERS book Weddings!

“How cool would it be to take Virtual Destination Wedding tool to a Wedding fair, try on the couples that don’t know where they want to go?”
They can take our fun interactive test, get their destination match and then put a VR headset on and virtually pre-experience it before they book, making it a “easy sell!“

How it works:
By answering a series of carefully thought out, fun, interactive questions about their likes, tastes, budget, etc….this tool will match a couple to their top two destinations based on their answers selected.
The tool will then show their matched destinations side-by-side with descriptions of each, from there they can select one (or both) to explore.Romance Travel to Fiji or TahitiOnce they click on one, a beautiful page opens up with destination information, photo and video to experience!

You as the agent, will also have a option to show or send a “Virtual travel album” that you can personalize and use as a booking tool!

“Robin, my most recent bride loved Virtual Honeymoon. It was fun and easy. She was the perfect VH user because she did not have a clue as to where, what, price, etc. VH saved me time and convincing.
