Here’s something I love about running JLT: we don’t chase suppliers. They come to us. Every week, we get approached by travel brands wanting to work with our agents. The challenge isn’t finding partnerships — it’s selecting the ones that genuinely serve our community.
Jet2 Weddings caught my attention because they solve a real problem. Destination weddings are everywhere right now, but most couples have no idea where to start. Between legalities, logistics, and making sure Great Aunt Margaret can actually get there, it’s overwhelming. That’s exactly where smart agents step in — and where the right supplier makes all the difference.
What Jet2 Weddings Actually Does
Jet2 Weddings isn’t just slapping their brand on someone else’s service. They’ve partnered with Perfect Weddings Abroad to create something genuinely useful: destination weddings that don’t require a PhD in international event planning.
The setup is straightforward. Jet2 handles what they do best — reliable flights and accommodation. Perfect Weddings Abroad brings the specialist wedding expertise. Your clients get handpicked venues across Cyprus, Greece, Italy, and the Canary Islands, with all the ceremony coordination sorted by people who actually know what they’re doing.
They cover everything from intimate ceremonies for just the couple through to full celebrations with 20+ guests. The logistics, legalities, and day-of coordination — handled. Group travel for extended family — handled. Your client stress levels — significantly reduced.
Why this matters for JLT agents: Wedding bookings are high-value opportunities. But they’re also high-stress if you’re working with suppliers who don’t have their systems sorted. Jet2 Weddings removes the complexity while keeping the margins healthy.
Who’s Booking These Weddings
Let’s be honest about the market here. We’re talking about couples who want something more special than the local registry office but don’t want to become part-time wedding planners in the process.
These are typically:
- Couples seeking professionally managed overseas ceremonies
- Families who want beautiful locations without the headache
- Anyone dreaming of European settings — think Mediterranean views, golden hour lighting, and venues that look good in photos
- People who value peace of mind and ATOL protection over rock-bottom pricing
Why this matters for JLT agents: This isn’t the bargain-hunting crowd. These clients are investing in experiences and willing to pay for expertise. They’re exactly the type of customer who appreciates working with a knowledgeable agent rather than booking online.
What’s in It for JLT Agents
Here’s where it gets interesting from a business perspective:
Generous commission structure across the board — including ceremony-only packages. That’s rare. Most wedding suppliers expect you to sell the full travel package to earn decent margins.
ATOL protection covers everything, which means you can book with confidence. Group booking support is built in, so when the bride’s side books separately from the groom’s family (and they always do), someone else handles the coordination.
There’s also dedicated agent support and upcoming webinars to get you up to speed on their offerings and destination expertise.
Why this matters for JLT agents: Wedding bookings often lead to repeat business — honeymoons, anniversary trips, family holidays. Getting this market right sets you up for long-term client relationships, not just one-off transactions.
Why We’re Spotlighting This Now
Destination weddings aren’t a trend — they’re a market shift. Post-2020, couples are prioritising meaningful experiences over big traditional celebrations. The demand is real, the margins are healthy, and the repeat business potential is significant.
Jet2 Weddings combines Jet2’s operational reliability with specialist wedding expertise. They’re not trying to be everything to everyone, which I respect. They know their strengths — European sun destinations, group travel logistics, and taking the stress out of international celebrations.
For agents, this represents a genuine opportunity to serve clients in a growing market while earning strong commissions on bookings that competitors often find too complicated to handle properly.
Why this matters for JLT agents: Markets like this separate professional agents from booking platforms. Online sites can sell flights and hotels, but they can’t coordinate international wedding legalities or manage complex group bookings. This is where your expertise actually matters.
