    Dive into one of the most exciting and lucrative niches for travel advisors - destination weddings and group travel! Ashley Morris, founder of Alpaca Your Bags Travel, shares her journey of becoming a top destination wedding planner. From setting client expectations and handling budgets to marketing yourself as an expert, Ashley covers it all. Learn the benefits of having a repeatable workflow, partnering with the right vendors, and establishing boundaries to create a sustainable business. Ashley also discusses her role with Destination Wedding University, where she provides educational resources for aspiring destination wedding advisors. If you’re looking to make destination weddings a profitable part of your business, this episode is full of strategies and tips to help you get there!   About Ashley Morris: Ashley is the owner of award-winning Alpaca Your Bags Travel and is currently based in Kansas City, MO.

After being frustrated with the planning process, she went to travel agent school and started her agency in 2015. Ashley built Alpaca into a million-dollar agency in under two years, all while still working at her advertising job AND commuting from KC to NYC twice a month. This is a woman who knows something about time management and working smarter, not harder!    After having her own destination wedding, Ashley wanted to bring that joy and fun to others.

    99. Creating Invoices That Protect Your Business

    Dive into a topic that might not sound overly exciting but is essential for protecting your business – client invoicing. Jennifer and Robin discuss topics such as charging planning fees, setting limits on proposal revisions, and making sure your services are super clear so clients know exactly what they’re paying for. They also share tips on managing supplier invoices (because nobody likes those surprise mistakes) and why getting digital signatures for changes is a total lifesaver. And of course, they get into the nitty-gritty: clear terms and conditions, disclaimers for extra costs, and all the documentation you need to cover your bases. Bottom line? Client invoices aren't just about getting paid – they’re about saving yourself stress and keeping your business running smoothly.
