The first-of-its-kind, membership-based site marries tradition with technology and features a luxury portfolio of partners for a trusted user experience

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, March 13, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Internationally-renowned wedding expert Renée Strauss has officially unveiled WEDAWAYS — a digital platform that simplifies destination wedding and honeymoon planning for engaged couples. A breakthrough concept designed with an algorithm based on a series of diagnostic questions, the innovative tool pairs users with a global network of luxury properties and elite planners.

“WEDAWAYS takes the traditional business of destination wedding planning and adapts it to the digital preferences of our core millennial consumers,” said Renée Strauss, co-founder and CEO of WEDAWAYS. “Our integrated platform’s technology customizes results and instantly connects users with luxury partners we’ve carefully curated from around the world.”

Committed to a high standard of offerings, WEDAWAYS allows members to communicate with their invite-only partners, request estimates, and book wedding venues and room blocks through a secure, easy-to-use dashboard. It also matches wedding planners to couples according to specific needs and preferences.

“The luxury destination wedding business is growing, but the planning experience for couples can be frustrating because they don’t have objective stateside experts they can trust. While other platforms offer lists of planners and properties, none match them to the couple’s wants and needs the way that we do,” said Pamela Strauss, COO of WEDAWAYS. “Our first-to-market approach pioneers a new, more personalized way to plan without the stress. WEDAWAYS not only streamlines communication between our members and properties but also pairs them with local, on-the-ground planners we’ve personally vetted.”

Key features at launch include:
1.) Access to 65 luxury properties and 25 wedding planners in 13+ countries:
- Barbados, Canada, Croatia, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Morocco, Netherlands, Saint Barthélemy, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and the United States
- Notable partners include Calistoga Ranch (Napa Valley, California), Hotel De Russie (Rome, Italy), Il Borro (Tuscany, Italy), Royal Mansour (Marrakech, Morocco), The Alpina Gstaad (Gstaad, Switzerland)
2.) Intelligent search and compare function of favorite properties
3.) Property microsites that offer in-depth information and average costs
4.) Personal dashboard for both members and partners:
- Diagnostic questionnaire to personalize results and inform potential vendors
- Submission for estimates, proposals and contracts
- Secure messaging portal
- Budget management tool
- Guest list organizer and digital save-the-date template
- Image file sharing, travel itineraries, task list and reminders
5.) Quarterly newsletter and weekly blog content on industry trends, news and inspiration
6.) Online communication and support from the WEDAWAYS team
