Empire Travel

Last reviewed: July 31, 2026. Business status: Active.

Empire Travel is an Ontario travel agency offering destination-wedding, honeymoon and group-travel assistance. For couples searching for a destination wedding travel agent Oakville, the company’s current website documents wedding-trip planning, customizable resort or venue packages and travel support for groups ranging from private celebrations to larger guest parties.

The official site now lists an Oakville address and a different website and telephone number from the older Burlington listing information. This profile uses only the current details published by Empire Travel. Last reviewed: July 31, 2026.

Services and specialization

Empire Travel’s wedding page centres on destination weddings, honeymoons and related group travel. It presents options ranging from beach celebrations in Jamaica and Mexico to weddings in Antigua or European venues. These locations are examples rather than a complete service-area list, and couples should request recommendations suited to their departure city, guest needs and budget.

The company says wedding trips can include customizable packages and different reception formats. Its broader service menu also covers all-inclusive holidays, cruises, custom travel, land arrangements and family travel. Owner and luxury travel advisor Aga Tempelaars is specifically identified on the team page as booking destination weddings and honeymoons.

• Destination-wedding travel and customizable package research
• Honeymoon planning
• Wedding guest and other group-travel arrangements
• All-inclusive, cruise and custom itinerary planning

Service area and who it may suit

The current official footer places Empire Travel at 3465 Rebecca Street in Oakville, Ontario. The website does not publish a defined local service radius, so couples outside Oakville or nearby Burlington should confirm whether consultations and document handling can be completed remotely.

This service may suit couples planning a wedding away from home who want one agency involved in travel research, bookings and guest arrangements. It may also be relevant when the honeymoon will be combined with the wedding trip. Couples seeking only day-of coordination for a ceremony in Oakville should compare local event planners instead, because Empire Travel presents itself as a travel agency rather than a conventional local wedding-day coordinator.

• Relevant to destination weddings involving a travelling guest group
• Potential fit for couples combining their wedding and honeymoon
• Remote consultation availability should be confirmed directly

How the planning relationship works

Empire Travel describes a personalized advisory process built around the travellers’ preferred style, budget and itinerary. Its service-fee page says professional planning can involve research, supplier connections and support before, during and after travel. The exact workflow for a wedding group—such as how guest deposits, room blocks, payment deadlines and individual changes are handled—is not detailed publicly.

The site also provides a self-booking portal, but that option is distinct from advisor-led planning. Couples coordinating a wedding group should request an advisor consultation instead of assuming that the automated portal includes group management or wedding-specific support.

• Discuss the destination, travel dates, guest count and approximate budget
• Ask which advisor will manage the wedding group
• Request a written outline of included planning and support services

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed practical strength is the breadth of documented trip types: the wedding page covers destination weddings, honeymoons and groups, while the main service menu includes all-inclusive, cruise and custom travel. The company also publishes its minimum professional fees, which gives couples a starting point before an inquiry.

There are important evidence limits. The website does not clearly separate the agency’s travel responsibilities from the resort or venue coordinator’s ceremony responsibilities. It also does not publish wedding-package inclusions, current resort rates, booking lead times or a defined geographic consultation area. Examples and client stories on the company’s own site are first-party material and should not be treated as independent reviews.

• Documented wedding, honeymoon and group-travel services
• Published minimum agency service fees
• Confirm who handles ceremony design, décor, legal paperwork and on-site coordination

Pricing

Empire Travel publishes estimated minimum service fees. Group planning and custom itinerary planning start at $250 plus HST, with the final fee depending on complexity and scope. All-inclusive, cruise and tour bookings start at $50 plus HST per adult, or $150 plus HST per family living in the same household. Individual flight, hotel or car-rental components start at $75 plus HST.

The agency also lists minimum fees of $50 plus HST for each post-booking change and $100 plus HST per person for cancellations. Professional fees are described as non-refundable and payable at the beginning of the engagement. Current destination wedding package pricing is not explicitly published. Resort, airfare, room-block and ceremony costs should therefore be obtained in a written quote.

• Group or custom planning: minimum $250 plus HST
• All-inclusive, cruise or tour booking: minimum $50 plus HST per adult, or $150 plus HST per household family
• Final professional fees may increase with the scope or complexity

Contact and booking

The official site lists Aga Tempelaars, owner and luxury travel advisor, at 905-580-2204 and aga@empiretravel.ca. Couples can also use the website’s contact or quote-request route. The published office address is 3465 Rebecca Street, Oakville, ON L6L 6W2.

Before paying a planning fee or travel deposit, ask for the assigned advisor’s name, the scope of work, the professional-fee total and the supplier payment schedule in writing. Couples should also determine which payments go to Empire Travel and which are charged by a tour operator, airline, resort or other supplier.

What couples should confirm

A destination wedding involves both travel administration and event planning. Couples should confirm whether Empire Travel will manage only flights, accommodation and guest bookings or will also communicate with the resort’s wedding department. Ask who is responsible for the ceremony contract, décor choices, marriage requirements and the on-site schedule.

Request clear terms for deposits, room-block deadlines, name changes, cancellations and travel insurance. It is also sensible to ask how guests will submit personal details and payments, whether travellers can depart from different Canadian airports, and what assistance is available if a flight disruption affects the wedding group.

• What is included in the agency’s planning fee?
• Who coordinates with the resort or wedding venue?
• What guest minimums, deposits and payment dates apply?
• Which change and cancellation charges may be added?
• What support is available during travel?
