Get the Shortlist

No cost to talk. You will know any fee before I start.

Sound familiar?

It is not the money. It is the planning.

The shared calendar

Two work schedules, one open weekend in March. By the time you both agree, it is gone.

The 40 open tabs

Every resort says "romantic." Reviews contradict each other. Nobody wants to be the one who picked wrong.

The trip that never gets booked

The anniversary comes and goes. You say "next year." Then you say it again.

3 lengths of getaway

Start with a weekend. Come back for the anniversary.

You do not need a milestone to go. Most couples I talk to want a short trip, just because. Here is what each length typically looks like for two.

How I label picks: Visited means I have been there myself, on my own dime. Researched means supplier training and partner resources. Client-reported means a couple I booked just came back. I always tell you which.

4 steps, and you only do the first one.

    2 picks within 2 business days, priced plainly, with the trade-offs spelled out.

  3. Book with a deposit

    Choose one and I book it. You pay the supplier directly.

  4. Pack and go

About fees. Booking just one thing, like a resort stay or a cruise? There is no service fee.

When I plan the whole itinerary, there is a service fee. I quote it before work starts, and it is paid up front.

Questions couples ask first

What does it cost to work with you?

If you only need one thing booked, there is no service fee. If I plan the whole itinerary, there is a service fee, quoted before I start and paid up front.

Have you actually been to these places?

Some, and I say which. Every pick carries a Visited, Researched or Client-reported label. I pay my own way on research trips, so no resort shapes what I recommend.

What about hurricane season?

Caribbean hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. For trips in that window I quote travel insurance every time and suggest Aruba or a spring date as options.

We already know where we want to go. Can you still help?

Yes. Tell me the place and dates, and I will price it, check for advisor perks, and handle the booking.

Can we book a trip as a gift?

Yes. Fill out the intake with the dates you have in mind and I will put together options you can give as a surprise.

Stop postponing it.
