Wayde SalmonFounder · Weddings by Alux
Your advisor, not a booking engine
“I’ll tell you when a beautiful resort is wrong for your guest list.”
I’m Wayde Salmon. I built Weddings by Alux for couples who want honest answers before they sign—and a real person their guests can reach after they do.
With more than a decade designing travel and destination celebrations, I know the resort photos are the easy part. The work that protects your experience lives in the comparison: the complete cost, contract terms, airport reality, room mix, event flow and how each property will actually feel for your people.
My job is to make those decisions clear, advocate for you and stay present from the first shortlist to the final flight home.

What Wayde helps
you protect.
A destination wedding asks your favorite people to invest time and money in the celebration. Every recommendation should respect that.
Straight answers before you sign
You’ll understand room-block terms, wedding-package gaps, private-event costs and the decisions that can change the real budget.
A travel advisor your guests can call
Your guests receive a clear booking path and personal travel support, so every question does not land back on the couple.
Start with the feeling
Six places couples
ask us about most.
Begin with the destination that draws you in. Wayde will help you test that feeling against guest travel, season, celebration style and total cost.

Known for the part
that matters most: care.
These are the experiences Alux clients and wedding partners describe—not anonymous resort marketing.
Wayde was responsive and helpful every step of the way. He made us feel confident and well taken care of, so we could look forward to our trip without worrying about anything.
Professional, very responsive and values what you truly want for your day. Our destination wedding was like a dream come true. Wayde made sure everyone felt safe and our accommodations and excursions were with reputable vendors.
I have worked with Wayde on several occasions and he is always very prompt and professional. I have suggested him to my wedding clients for their destination weddings, and they have had great experiences as well.
