Hi, we’re Tyrone & Shay Bowie, the husband-and-wife team behind Authentic Travel Connections. Our love for destination weddings is personal because this journey started with our own.

Years ago, we chose beautiful Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, as the place to say “I do,” surrounded by nearly 80 of our closest family members and friends. For many of our guests, it was their first time traveling internationally. Watching everyone come together, experience a new destination, celebrate love, laugh, explore, and create memories that continued long after we returned home showed us just how special travel can be. That experience became part of the inspiration behind Authentic Travel Connections.

Since then, our travels have taken us throughout the Caribbean and across Europe, Africa, Asia, and beyond, but Punta Cana will always hold a special place in our story. So being able to help Asia & Sayvion bring the people they love together in the very destination where part of our own story began makes this celebration even more meaningful to us.

For their wedding, our role is simple: take the stress out of the travel so you can enjoy the celebration.

From your resort accommodations and group reservations to transportation, travel questions, extended stays, and everything in between, we’re here to help make your journey to Punta Cana as smooth as possible.

Because for us, this isn’t just about booking rooms or getting everyone on a plane. It’s about bringing people together. It’s about experiencing somewhere beautiful with the people who matter. And it’s about coming home with stories you’ll still be talking about years later.

We’re honored to be a small part of Asia & Sayvion’s story, and we can’t wait to welcome you to Punta Cana.

See you in paradise,

Tyrone & Shay Bowie
