Destination Wedding and Group Travel Specialist

Beautiful Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Group travel is my forte, and I’m particularly passionate about arranging destination weddings.

I'll lead you through the legal requirements, streamline tricky travel arrangements for far-flung family and friends and recommend the best on-site wedding coordinators that will help make your big day – or long-awaited vow renewal – as magical as you deserve.

Cruises are a great option for group travel, as they provide guests with a plethora of options suitable for a wide range of ages and interests. Sail the Caribbean and explore port after port with plenty of time for sunbathing and five-star dining in between, or opt for a Disney-themed ship and watch your kids delight in frolicking pool side withall their favorite characters.

While I have a certain affinity for group travel, I also love working with individuals looking to set out and see the world on their own.

Solo exploration gives you a better chance to converse one-on-one with locals, immersing yourself in their language, customs and culture, learning even as you relax and enjoy your surroundings.

As someone who has traveled abroad extensively, I can recommend locals-only places that give you a chance to experience a world outside of mass-produced guidebooks; together, we'll create a personalized itinerary tailored to your dreams, goals and expectations.

I began my travel career under the tutelage of a 30-year industry veteran, learning an incredible amount of information about customer service and travel planning that I've continued to build on thanks to a constant stream of certifications, continuing education classes and of course travel.

My rolodex is extensive, containing a massive amount of personal contacts that gives me an expansive network to call upon when I start creating your one-of-a-kind itinerary. From upgraded rooms to group discounts to private airport transfers and much much more, I make my connections and expertise work to the benefit of my clients, aiming to exceed expectations every single time.I take such pleasure in seeing the joy on people's faces when we turn their vision into an extraordinary reality.

As a travel specialist, I want nothing more than to give each client my personal attention and expertise to create the most memorable rip of all time, and I can't wait to do the very same for you!

Consistently outperforms other TA
Mary and Butch are an incredible team. They have found and booked a number of outstanding resorts and cruises for us over the last several years, many of which they have personally experienced themselves. Any updates are communicated promptly and professionally. We are retired and book 3-4 trips a year with them. We really feel that this team works for us!
