Experienced Destination Wedding & Group Travel Specialists

About Yellow Umbrella Events

We’re Yellow Umbrella Events - a destination wedding and milestone group travel planning team focused on all-inclusive resorts in Mexico.

We’re proudly based in between San Antonio & Austin, Texas (hey y’all!) and serve clients across the U.S.

  • We serve couples and group leaders across the U.S. who want clarity, experienced guidance, and a seamless planning experience from first conversation to wedding or event day.
  • Destination weddings and group travel events can be deeply emotional and logistically complex –  and when they go wrong, the details people don’t see are the ones that cost the most, stress you out the most, and create regret long after the celebration is over. That’s exactly where we step in.
  • With more than 16 years of experience in events, we help you make smart, confident decisions from the very beginning – helping you avoid surprises, manage guest logistics, and understand exactly what you’re agreeing to before anything is signed or paid.

Yellow Umbrella Events was built for travelers who want to make good decisions – not rushed ones. Because in an industry full of noise, we believe experience, honesty, and clarity matter more than hype.

What Makes Us Different

Group travel – especially destination weddings – comes with higher stakes. More people. More opinions. More money involved. 

Our role isn’t to sell a resort. It’s to help clients understand their options, avoid common pitfalls, and choose what truly fits their group. Sometimes that means confirming you’re on the right track. Sometimes it means telling you something you didn’t expect – but still needed to hear.

We believe great planning starts with great decisions. That means:

  • Doing the thinking ahead of time – so you don’t have to figure it out on your own
  • Helping you understand realistic expectations – before deals are signed
  • Handling guest logistics with precision – from room blocks to guest coordination
  • Reducing your stress, not your budget visibility – every step of the way

Our approach doesn’t rely on trends or hype – it’s built on years of specialized experience, honesty, and real life planning expertise.

Many couples and groups start planning online – but without professional guidance, they end up with surprises, booked at resorts that don’t match their vision, or surprised by hidden costs. That’s why we focus on helping clients make smart, confident decisions from the very first step.

We work best with couples and clients who value thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and realistic expectations – and who want a partner they can trust throughout the process.

Let us take the stress out of planning, so you can focus on creating unforgettable memories.

Why Clarity Matters

Mexico is home to some of the most beautiful resort destinations in the world – but choosing the right one for your wedding or group event is not always so simple. There are nuanced contracts, room block requirements, resort policies, travel concerns, the multitude of guest questions, budget decisions, and so much more. Doing this without professional guidance means making big decisions in a vacuum.

We help you:

  • Clarify your vision
  • Understand your best options
  • Know what’s negotiable – and what isn’t
  • Avoid surprises that cost you money or peace of mind
  • Protect your guest experience from confusion and chaos

We’re the people you call when you want to feel confident about your choices – not when you’re hoping for polished pictures that hide the chaos and regret after the fact.

Let us take the stress out of planning, so you can focus on creating unforgettable memories.

Choosing the perfect resort shouldn’t feel like guesswork.

That’s why we have a thoughtful discovery approach that ensures you’re matched with the resort and event plan that fits your group, your vision, and your budget. Here’s what that process looks like:

  1. Share Your Vision – Tell us what matters most: size, style, priorities, concerns.
  2. We Curate Your Best Options – Based on decades of firsthand experience across top Mexico properties.
  3. We Plan with Precision – From room blocks to travel planning, we handle the details so you can enjoy the celebration.

This isn’t a room block service with guest lists – it’s a planning partnership from day one.

What to Expect Working With Us

  • Personalized guidance at every step
  • Responsive communication and real answers
  • Experience-based recommendations, not guesswork
  • A focus on preventing issues before they happen

 

We partner with you from day one – we don’t drop documents in your inbox and wish you luck. Our job is to remove unpredictability and replace it with clarity, confidence, and a well-executed plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because we offer expert guidance, comprehensive travel management, and responsive support. Couples who choose to work directly with a resort often flounder – because they are forced to make every decision themselves. If this is your first time planning a destination wedding, you are making those decisions in a total vacuum.

But this is what we do, day in and day out. We’re able to quickly identify your best options based on your unique needs, group size, and vision. Then, we work our connections to secure it all for you (what would take you months of back and forth can take us just days). Simply put: Resorts won’t walk you through the process – but we will.

We are destination wedding travel planners – meaning we will manage all the travel related components of your destination wedding. This includes helping you decide on the perfect resort, securing your wedding package, managing your guest room block, assisting with resort communication, and more.

You may still wish to have the support of a “traditional” wedding planner – they will help you with the wedding day side of things, like choosing vendors and picking out flowers and linens. Resorts offer on-site wedding coordinators, or you can choose a local wedding planner for more in-depth assistance (we know the best and are happy to give you an intro!).

Nothing! We do not charge a fee for our room block management services.
The best destination wedding resort is the one that works best for you. We know that’s a non-answer; that’s why we start with a consultation call to first determine your destination wedding vision, so we can align that with the right resort. Resort selection is a part of our travel planning service!
