Great to work with, and helped us navigate COVID

It was super easy, only 2 phone calls and 2 emails. Susan got us an extra $300 credit, and very clearly explained and arranged the COVID stuff for us. Will definitely use them again.

Travel agent is not a complete word to describe all Susan helped me with. She will DEFINATELY go above & beyond what you think you want/need in terms of trying to book an event outside of your home town. We had emails & phone calls & excelent communication as she helped me plan my CRAZY Scottish themed wedding in the Bahamas. With about 30 people traveling from all accross the country, she knew exactly where & what everyone needed. Even when the hotel started to drop the ball she was right there to pick it up, run with it, & score. Everyone I spoke with said she was easy to contact & they felt they were taken care of. I can't wait to plan my next trip through her. I here she is VERY well versed in the "Wonderful World of Disney" so perhaps that will be our next stop. :-)

Oh... we also received GREAT information from her about a cruise we took & were VERY happy with her knowledge of the "inner workings" of how to cruise.

The owner was polite and responsive to my requests. She stayed within our budget and planned the dream honeymoon!! My husband and I were so impressed with her that we have continued to use her services over the years. She is an excellent travel agent.
