OUR STORY
How Do We Work for You?
REASONS TO BOOK WITH US:
Our company is one of the first travel companies in the United States to specialize in planning honeymoons and destination weddings. When we started our company in 2001, you could say it was the worst time to start a travel agency, right after 9/11. Along with our 100% staff loyalty to date, this proves just how devoted we are to providing YOU our guest, outstanding experiences. We have steadily grown year-after-year, thriving because of our core values. We are a tight-knit team of professional travel planners, working together to give honest advice to our deserving guests.
As our couples have matured, we have added Island Family Fun, Island Corporate & Incentive Travel, and Island Travel Group specialists, to better serve your needs.
Our travel advisors specialize to be the very best!

It is a pleasure to design custom itineraries for our clients. I am especially helpful when planning for Hawaii,Tahiti, South Africa and Ireland.
I felt so much more comfortable using Jennifer than trying to book it ourselves. She had experience and tips to help us through and continued to help us once we were in Jamaica.
