FROM 'I DO' TO 'HONEYMOON' ... IT'S WHAT WE DO!

At ESCAPE WITH US VACATIONS we celebrate love! Our main goal is to assist you in making memories that will last forever. We are not 'order takers', but 'ESCAPE ARTISTS'. We ask questions, take time to listen to what's important to you, then use our experience and expertise to bring your vacation vision to life!

DESTINATION WEDDINGS ~ We believe big moments are better when shared and we've assisted hundreds of couples (just like you) - in destinations all around the world! Whether your special day will be just the two of you, a small gathering of family and friends, or a group of three hundred, we'll help you create the perfect trip, customized the way YOU want it to be! We know how much work goes into planning and coordinating one of the most important days in your lives. We'll marry your vision with our knowledge and creativity until every aspect is just as you imagined. All you have to do is concentrate on each other!

A few things that set us apart from the competition:

  • We regularly travel to the top wedding destinations so we have firsthand knowledge of which resort will best fit your needs.
  • As 'top accounts' of many of the resorts and tour operators, we're able to obtain the best pricing and we pass that savings on to you ~ as well as added amenities and 'perks' not available either on your own or through another agency.
  • We have developed relationships with many of the wedding coordinators and various vendors located on property. This makes for much easier communication when working working with foreign countries.
  • We personalize every trip for each of your guests. Fine-tuning is not only allowed but expected! Better yet? We don't charge any fees for our services and payment plans are available.
  • You and your guests will have a one-stop-shop' to call in case any travel issues arise or changes need to be made while traveling.

HONEYMOONS ~ One of the best parts of planning a wedding is also planning the honeymoon.

At Escape With Us Vacations we help you pick the storybook setting to start your love story. Whether your dream involves discovering ancient ruins in Mexico, island-hopping the Hawaiian islands, cruising the glaciers in Alaska, or lazy beachside days in the Caribbean, we're here to make it your reality! We'll make sure you're pampered and receive all the extra 'perks' that come with traveling as Newlyweds. It's our mission to make this once-in-a-lifetime trip an amazing and memorable escape!

We worked with Andrea and Theresa from Midwest Travel Service for our honeymoon arrangements. Both were very helpful and offered great advice for selecting a resort in Jamaica. We decided to stay at the Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton in Lucea. There was a change in our original flight plans after we had booked the trip. Andrea looked into several alternate flight options for us in a timely manner and worked hard to meet our requests. The trip was worry-free and relaxing. The resort offered many options for food and entertainment and had great service. Theresa and Andrea both suggested this resort was a good value, and they were right. The adults only resorts were more expensive. The Grand Palladium allows kids, but the kids did not interfere with any of the activities we wanted to do. We were very pleased all around and suggest using Midwest Travel Service for stress-free vacation planning!

Just wanted to say thanks for your assistance with the travel arrangements for my daughter Jenny's wedding. What a beautiful resort, the employees were very helpful and friendly.

Our driver from Adames Sedan Services, Alfred, was a gem and started our trip out on a high note .. very friendly and informative. A large majority of the guests also met Alfred...

Rooms were beautiful. On Saturday, Jenny used our suite to chage and have her hair and makeup done. The photographer joined us later. The wedding itself was outstanding .. couldn't have turned out better. The wedding coordinator was very helpful

The food was outstanding at the reception and throughout the resort and the cubcakes were a hit. The Tiki Bar was a favorite amoung the guests.

We were very impressed with our stay in Puerto Rico and definitely will be coming back. Again, thanks for coordinating the travel portion of this event.

I would highly recommend Midwest Travel Service to anyone planning a destination wedding. When I contacted Midwest Travel I had selected 4 destinations and Christina disucssed the pros and cons of each choice until we ultimetly selected a Sandals vacation. We were not disappointed in our selection. In fact, my husband stated the trip/wedding exceeded his expectations and I would have to agree. Midwest travels experience shined through when guiding us in making our selection for our destination wedding. Thank you Midwest Travel (and Christina) for a wonderful experience.

Christina Sherwin was amazing in giving us recommendations for our honeymoon. Even on her days off she would contact me with answers. Our final recommendation to honeymoon in Jamaica Secrets Wild Orchid was a fantastic one. We had a spectacular time and will definitely be visiting again!

It was a pleasure working with Christina from Midwest Travel Service. She went the extra mile to make sure we were going to get the honeymoon
we have always dreamed of having. She was attentive to detail and always on top of deadlines and payments needing to be made. She made the process so easy and enjoyable that I was surprised at how little stress I felt while choosing my honeymoon, which is a huge decision for a bride and her groom. The people at Midwest Travel Service, as well as Christina, were personable and helpful. They took a very daunting task and did all the work for me. All I had to do was choose which trip I wanted allowing me to use that extra time to focus on other elements of the wedding planning. I highly recommend using Midwest Travel Service to plan your honeymoon or any vacation. My husband and I were very impressed and had the trip of a lifetime!

Send us to Hawaii!!!! Aloha

We worked with Pete Monfre and he was so accommodating. We really didn't know what we wanted other than to go to Maui, Hawaii for our honeymoon. It was a sort of last minute planning so him being so responsive was perfect. He even went as far as to respond to us while he was on a family vacation when he had a little down time.
It all was perfect and worth every penny!

I worked with Christina for our honeymoon package and couldn't be happier with her communication and helpfulness. She worked with me to find a hotel and airefare package in our preferences and was so friendly. Will be doing business again with Midwest!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
