Forever True Wedding Planning and Design

Last reviewed: August 13, 2026. Business status: Active.

Forever True Destination Weddings is a Vancouver destination wedding planner serving couples who want support arranging a wedding away from home. Its official site describes a full-service process that can cover destination selection, travel planning, resort coordination and the wedding week itself.

The business begins with a consultation about the preferred setting, travel budget, dates, guest mix and activities. It then develops destination and property recommendations before moving into travel quotes and wedding logistics. This profile was last reviewed August 13, 2026.

Services and specialization

Forever True Destination Weddings focuses on destination wedding planning rather than publishing a broad local-wedding service menu. The official services page describes help choosing a destination and property, arranging group travel, planning the ceremony and reception, and coordinating the week around the wedding.

Published planning topics include food and beverages, ceremony and reception locations, décor, florals, photography, videography, welcome bags, stationery, music, timing, guest excursions and a wedding-week itinerary. The site also says the planner coordinates with resorts, vendors and staff before the group arrives.

• Destination and resort-property recommendations
• Group travel quotes, booking communication and guest deposit forms
• Ceremony, reception and décor planning
• Guest activities, itineraries and off-site photo-shoot coordination

Service area and who it may suit

The official site identifies Vancouver as the point from which items needed at a destination may be brought, while its service is designed for weddings in destinations rather than for one named local venue area. It does not publish a complete list of countries, resorts or departure markets, so couples should confirm whether their preferred destination is currently supported.

This may suit couples planning a multi-day destination celebration who want one planning process to consider travel arrangements as well as wedding-day details. It may also be relevant for groups needing information about room options, travel deposits, excursions and a shared schedule.

• Couples comparing potential destinations and resorts
• Wedding groups travelling together
• Couples wanting planning support beyond the ceremony day

How the planning process is described

The stated process starts with a meeting to discuss the wedding’s look and feel, destination interests, travel price point, guest activities, guest profile and possible dates. After the meeting, Forever True says it provides a quote for its services; after a 50% service deposit, it sends destination and property recommendations.

Once a destination, date and property are selected, the site says it locks in the group booking with the airline and property, sends booking and deposit forms to guests, and continues planning the wedding details. It recommends starting about one to one-and-a-half years in advance, while recognising that timelines can vary.

• Initial consultation and planning quote
• Destination and property recommendations
• Travel quotes and group-booking coordination
• Ongoing resort, vendor and itinerary planning

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature is the integration of travel and wedding planning: the official site sets out destination research, group travel quotes, guest communications, resort coordination and wedding-week activities in one service flow. It also states that the planner arrives at the destination before the group to finalise details with the resort, vendors and staff.

The official site does not publish a portfolio of currently available dates, a comprehensive destination list, a complete standard package comparison or a Vancouver street address. These are practical items to clarify directly before booking, rather than conclusions about service quality or availability.

• Confirmed feature: travel and wedding logistics are addressed together
• Confirm: destination availability and resort options
• Confirm: exact deliverables, timeline and team arrangements
• Confirm: current booking availability

Pricing

Forever True publishes a starting price for its Destination Wedding Coordination service: $8,500 plus travel. The official site says the final cost increases according to logistics and level of execution.

For guest travel, the site says deposits are generally about $250–$500 per person, with final payment due 60–90 days before travel. These figures are presented as general planning information, so couples should request a current written quote for their group, destination, room choices and wedding requirements.

• Destination Wedding Coordination starts at $8,500 plus travel
• Published guest-deposit guidance: about $250–$500 per person
• Published final-payment guidance: 60–90 days before travel

Contact and booking

The official website lists Forever True Destination Weddings’ phone number as 604-329-3152 and its email as tara@ftdestinationweddings.com. Couples can also use the official site’s contact route to begin an inquiry.

A useful first inquiry can outline preferred destinations or regions, target dates, expected guest count, travel budget range and the level of planning help required. The site describes an initial meeting as the point where these factors are discussed before a service quote is provided.

What couples should confirm

Before committing, ask for a current proposal that identifies the destination and property options, planning scope, travel arrangements, payments, supplier responsibilities and all travel-related expenses. Because coordination pricing starts at a published amount and varies with logistics, the proposal should specify what is included and what is additional.

It is also sensible to confirm the target destination’s current wedding requirements, supplier rules, guest booking deadlines, travel insurance considerations, contingency arrangements and the final itinerary. The official site explains its intended process, but these details need to be tailored to the individual wedding.

• Whether the preferred destination and dates can be accommodated
• The exact planning deliverables and on-site coordination coverage
• Travel payment deadlines, room options and booking terms
• All inclusions, exclusions and destination-specific requirements
