Meet Debbie

Zigs when others zag. Obsessed with weddings. Thinks Caribbean sand is a love language.

Hello, friend! I'm Debbie, and I'm thrilled you're here!

If you're daydreaming of a Caribbean destination wedding (or frantically Googling "best places to get married in paradise"), you're in the right place. I'm a destination wedding specialist and proud Sandals wedding expert with a serious love for clear blue water, joy-filled 'I Dos,' and keeping things simple for you.

Hitched Away was born from a deep belief that wedding planning can feel effortless, even if it's happening on an island hundreds of miles away.

So whether you're just curious about what a Caribbean wedding might look like or knee-deep in decision overwhelm, I'm here to help you cut through the noise, ditch the stress, and actually enjoy the ride.

When I'm not helping couples find their dream resort or obsessing over room block details, you'll probably catch me listening to NPR or reggae, geeking out with WordPress, or avoiding social media (like it's my full-time job).

✨ P.S. If you're wondering, yes—I really have walked the beaches and toured the venues. This isn't copy-and-paste advice.

What Makes Me Different...

(Not your average wedding 'planner'... and proud of it.)

  • I only book Sandals & Beaches Resorts—because I believe in quality over quantity.
  • You'll never be handed off to an intern or random travel agent. I'm your go-to.
  • I blend wedding planning, travel logistics, and guest support, seamlessly.
  • I care just as much about your guests' experience as I do your vows.
  • I've actually toured the resorts, so I'm not guessing (or Googling).

Let's do this the right way—calm, confident, and totally personalized.
