10/10 Would Recommend

I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to our incredible travel agent, Deirdre, who played an absolutely pivotal role in making our destination wedding a dream come true.

From the very beginning, Deirdre was an absolute rock star. She went above and beyond to assist us with every aspect of our wedding planning. What struck me most was her unwavering patience, even when I changed my mind about the wedding location multiple times. She handled it all with a smile and a can-do attitude, which made me feel at ease and confident in her abilities.

Throughout the entire process, Deirdre was not just a travel agent; she was our lifeline. She was always there to answer our questions, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Her responsiveness was a true blessing, and it made the planning process so much smoother and less stressful.

But where Deirdre truly shone was in her ability to handle the unexpected. Our guest list experienced quite a bit of fluctuation, with people canceling their reservations or requesting to bring additional guests. Deirdre managed it all with grace and professionalism, ensuring that we were kept in the loop while she coordinated behind the scenes, sparing us any unnecessary stress.

One of the most remarkable things about Deirdre was her dedication to our happiness. When we encountered challenges with the resort, she didn't hesitate to advocate for us. She took it upon herself to make sure that our wedding plans were given the priority they deserved, even when the resort was unresponsive. Her tenacity and commitment to ensuring our special day was perfect were truly awe-inspiring.

Thanks to Deirdre's hard work and support, our destination wedding was a beautiful and unforgettable experience. She's not just a travel agent; she's a wedding planning superhero. If you're ever in need of someone who will go the extra mile to make your dreams come true, we wholeheartedly recommend Deirdre's services. We are forever grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day so incredibly special.

Amazing experience! 10/10 recommend.

Deirdre was amazing and helped us plan the perfect honeymoon from start to finish. She got us our dream room when we thought it wasn’t available and coordinated all of our excursions so all we had to do once we got there was show up. When we had a slight bump in the road and one of our bags went missing, Deirdre helped us get compensated through our travel insurance (which we probably would not have gotten without her). I could not recommend her or her team more - we cannot wait to plan more trips with Enlightened Excursions in the future!

Me and my now wife cannot express how pleased we were with the service we received from Deirdre and her team Audrey and Tony. They helped us from start to finish going above and beyond what one could expect when it comes to planning a destination wedding. from picking the venue to helping guest book travel and accommodations, and everything in between.

Destination Wedding of my dreams!

The enlightened excursions team truly went above and beyond for my destination wedding! We had over 100 guests traveling from all over the US and she was able to keep all of our travel arrangements organized and handled all of the communication so I didn't have to worry about it! Their team gave me so many extras I was not expecting, they created my wedding website with all of the information for my guests and even sent my save the dates out to our guests. I would highly recommend them for your destination wedding!

Amazing Honeymoon

We originally choose Stacey to book our honeymoon to Europe for August 2020 in February of 2020. Of course the pandemic caused us to change plans, but Stacey was on top of everything the whole time. In Spring of 2021 we revisited our honeymoon options, and because Europe was not open at the time, we explored different options around the world. Stacey came up with several incredible options for us, we ended up going to Costa Rica in August of 2021 for 2 weeks. Stacey made sure that we were as prepared as we possibly could have been, and maybe our honeymoon as stress-free as possible. While in Costa Rica we stayed at 5 different hotels, and had many different excursions that Stacey booked for us (all within our budget). We encountered an issue with transportation once while in Costa Rica and Stacey got on the phone and fixed the issue for us quickly. We are so grateful for the fantastic honeymoon that Stacey planned for us and we absolutely will use her again on our future travels.
