Travel destination customer

Finding just the right destination for your destination wedding, event, or special celebration can be so overwhelming and stressful! Kat with Calla Events, Design, & Travel, LLC went above and beyond to help my husband and I plan a trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We had a limited budget and many variables to work with. We didn’t make it easy on her but her patience, attention to detail, and tireless efforts to keep searching for just the right trip got us to a trip we can’t wait to enjoy! She replaced our stress with excitement as we went over the options she offered us. No detail was too small for her. She really put together a very personal package “just for us”. We are so grateful for her service and the product she provided.

I can't even begin to say how truly amazing our wedding day was! I worked with Trends for almost 1.5 years leading up to my wedding. I wouldn't describe myself as a normal bride- I was truly infatuated with the small details- so much that my meetings lasted, on average, 3 hours or longer (& we had a TON of meetings.) I can honestly say that Kat & Team made every single meeting so exciting that I never wanted them to end! Moral of my rant, no matter how long or where you need to meet, they will jump through hoops to make sure you are assisted and happy. 3/4 of our meetings turned into lunch or dinner dates- it's almost like you acquire instant best friends when you sign your contract! You are eventually assigned "your person" and mine luckily was Amanda. She was there to guide me, remind me of payments, offer advice and direction and basically be my #1 sidekick for 6 months. The day of, I had another "person" added and her name was Laura. Laura rocked! Her and Amanda spent the morning driving back and forth between houses making sure the bridesmaids & groomsmen were on time, marriage licenses were obtained, and rings were in place. As my mom and I look back, we can honestly say we can't come up with one thing that we would have changed. The trends team are a great group of gals to work with (and befriend.) Thank you Amanda for making our wedding day truly PERFECT!!!!!!

The best decision we made was to hire Trends To Traditions! Kat, Amanda and the entire TTT team were absolutely amazing to work with!! I didn't think it was possible to NOT feel stressed while planning a wedding - but it is! Your knowledge and experience was so helpful- and our wedding was beyond our expectations to the very last detail. Because of you and your team, we knew everything was under control, and we could spend quality time with friends and family and not have to worry about anything. Thank you again for helping us to plan our dream wedding!!

I love Trends to Traditions. What a great planning organization. They coordinated every step of every wedding I have done with them. If I were a bride I would love to have them organize for me. Very meticulous in an effortless manner so it didn't feel stodgy. Everyone is so pleasant to work with and even as a makeup vendor I knew where, when, how many, how much time, what expectations were and they were constantly making sure that I had everything I needed to do my job and what the wedding party may need to know from me. I really enjoy working with them and recommend them highly for planning a wedding. True professionals.
