Carol Carrillo Graduates With In-demand Destination Wedding Certification

As part of Destination Wedding University’s inaugural class, Carol Carrillo now offers a new range of travel services, backed by an innovative new training course.


Mayfield, KY, Jan 4, 2022

Destination weddings currently account for 25% of all weddings annually. As a segment, it continues to grow each year across demographics. Carol Carrillo — a local travel agent who has been serving clients across the U.S. for almost 3 years — recognized there was increasing demand for travel experts who can create unforgettable weddings in the world’s most beautiful places. 

Carrillo also knew that she had questions about the practical and business ins and outs of this complex space and needed professional guidance. “This niche requires a specific skill set that’s very different from other types of travel planning. Agents who try to dive in without mentoring get overwhelmed really quickly, and I didn’t want to fall into that,” Carrillo said.

In the Spring of 2021, Carrillo saw that Will Medina — a nationally-recognized travel agent with nearly a decade of destination wedding planning experience — had launched Destination Wedding University and its flagship training program called The Destination Wedding Playbook. 

Carrillo jumped at the opportunity for top-tier professional training in this fast-growing industry segment. 

The 15-week virtual course is hosted live weekly by Medina and features four in-depth modules that cover topics like finding a niche, client attraction, consistent conversion, and automation of services for peak efficiency and organization. 

Carrillo was part of a cohort of 34 enthusiastic students. In a few weeks, she will graduate as a certified Destination Wedding Expert, with focused training on how to plan, set up, organize, and deliver one-of-a-kind destination weddings.

“The Destination Wedding Playbook has tremendously helped me in my business. I have always wanted to plan destination weddings and without professional guidance, the whole planning process can be totally overwhelming. The playbook has been invaluable to me professionally and personally. I have learned ways to to improve my client’s experience & it expands my business the way I never thought it would be. The Destination Wedding Playbook is totally a game changer for me!”

With enrollment for Destination Wedding Playbook expected to triple in 2022, Carrillo is also excited to be on the leading edge of a growing trend. “As a travel expert and business person, I’m always looking for ways to grow and learn,” she said. “I can’t wait for what’s next.”
