We first experienced Kate's Travel as guests traveling for a destination wedding and had an awesome experience. Fast forward 6 years, and we found ourselves looking at the possibility of a doing a destination wedding. We spoke with Kate's Travel in addition to a few other Twin Cities-based travel agents. The difference and approach from Kate was crystal clear. For us, customer service was going to be extremely important as 1.) we didn't have a deep desire to really be in the weeds with wedding planning, 2.) we knew we'd have a larger group (60+), 3.) the group would be traveling from all across the US, and 4.) there would most likely still be a shadow of COVID during our wedding and travels.

After outlining our wishlist for the wedding and asking for some guidance, Kate provided a detailed list of resort options across the different locations that we were considering. Kate listened to our pricing guidelines and helped us weigh other important factors that are in her realm of expertise (i.e. flight costs and accessibility, resort event staff, etc.). This ultimately led us to the Hyatt Ziva - Puerto Vallarta.

Kate spoke very highly of Valentina and her team at the Hyatt Ziva. We were provided a warm-intro to the Hyatt team as well as a timeline of due dates over the course of the year and "best practices" associated with invites, lead time, payment flexibility for guests, and more. There was never a doubt that Valentina's team wouldn't take care of us and we knew we had Kate's Travel behind us anytime we needed.

Kate made herself available to us whenever we needed her and made a us a wedding website with all of the travel details and options for guests to easily access to understand exactly how to book their trip with Kate's contact information for support. The planning process was so turnkey, we only had a few phone calls over a 12 month period.

The wedding week was a total success. Valentina and the Hyatt Ziva - PV staff had all event details buttoned up - often overdelivering. From the resort side of things, the Hyatt Ziva was truly unbelievable. From the beautiful private beach, to awesome dining experiences, to the resort staff, we wouldn't have changed one thing about our decision and were grateful that Kate helped us choose this spot. Every single guest had a fantastic trip!

What we didn't find out until everyone was together at the resort was that Kate's Travel had NUMEROUS conversations with our guests. Kate answered questions, managed room requests and adjustments, trip changes and much more. WE HAD NO IDEA that Kate was managing all of this on the back-end. While we were working on wedding details, Kate covered everything guest-related. We are incredibly thankful for this as we were able to focus on the wedding and how we wanted to make it unique to us. It wasn't until we traveled to the wedding that we heard from guests-- over and over-- how much they truly appreciated working with Kate, up until the last minute with flight changes and more. We felt zero stress from destination wedding coordination because Kate has us and our guests completely covered!!

It should seem pretty clear that we would 100% RECOMMEND Kate's Travel to anyone looking to plan a destination wedding or a group vacation. Her service is impeccable and truly separates Kate's Travel from other agencies.

When deciding where to get married she sent us a list of locations, with links to the websites of the resorts and links to their wedding pages and Pinterest pages, AND she sent a video of her breaking down each resort and why she picked it for us! For that alone, everything was worth it to me!
I did NOT stress at all when it came to my guests booking hotel rooms, getting flights, or booking transportation to and from the resort. She took care of it all. We had several guests who booked, canceled, and then had to rebook- she handled it all so seamlessly.
We had the wedding of OUR DREAMS, and our closest friends and family were able to celebrate with us because of Kate’s hard work!

We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have used Kate’s Travel as our destination wedding travel advisor! Our journey with Kate initially began after we attended a wedding as guests with her help. We were amazed by how seamless the international travel was (especially during a global pandemic!) for everyone involved. This inspired us to reach out to her for our own wedding! From the very beginning, Kate went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our trip was meticulously planned. She exudes kindness and warmth, putting us at ease during what could have been a stressful time. Her dedication and attention to our needs truly set her apart.
Throughout the planning phase, Kate was a constant source of support. She checked in with us regularly, always offering reassurance and valuable insights that made us feel excited about our wedding. Kate’s reassuring presence made us feel confident in every decision we made, knowing we were in such capable hands. Her thoroughness guaranteed that we were well-prepared, allowing us to focus on what truly mattered—celebrating our special day together.
Not only did she help us navigate the logistics, but she also took the time to make sure guests had a stress free and easy travel process. From arranging transportation to coordinating hotel bookings, Kate made certain our friends and family were taken care of. She was always just a message away, ready to answer any questions or address any changes guests needed to make to their reservations. Her attention to detail meant our guests could focus on relaxing and enjoy the festivities without worrying about the travel logistics. Her warm and personable nature made the process enjoyable for everyone.
Thanks to Kate we enjoyed a safe, seamless, and unforgettable wedding experience. If you are not only looking for someone who is highly skilled but also caring, we recommend her services to anyone planning a destination wedding. You will be in the best hands!

If you are looking to book a travel agent for your destination wedding I HIGHLY recommend Kate! We had a destination wedding in the Dominican Republic with 82 guests and she was extremely attentive and accommodating throughout the whole process. We started planning our wedding with Kate a year and a half before we got married, she helped us pick the resort and communicated with us regularly throughout the process. Our guests were extremely pleased with how helpful she was with the room booking process and was there to troubleshoot any problems. I would recommend using Kate to anyone and everyone booking a destination wedding!!

I cannot rave enough about Kate’s Travel and everything she has done!! This process was so stress free and easy. Kate is truly a miracle worker. Not only did she have to answer my questions but she also was the go to contact person for our 50 guests that traveled to Secrets Maroma in Cancun.
Even during the trip, if someone needed to make a change… Kate was on it and help them. If I could give Kate endless amounts of stars I would! I recommend her to anyone planning a destination wedding and cannot thank a friend that had used and recommended Kate after her destination wedding.
My now husband didn’t think we needed the travel agent. But now after everything he said “I can’t believe how much she has done for us. Thank god we have Kate.”

Choosing Kate’s Travel was the best decision we made for our destination wedding. We wanted to extend our celebration beyond a traditional one-day event, and Kate helped us create a memorable weekend with our friends and family.

At the beginning of wedding planning, the sheer volume of travel agencies and destination wedding resort options was overwhelming. Kate’s Travel came highly recommended by a coworker who used her for his wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice.

From the start, Kate understood our vision and helped us select Secrets Moxché Playa Del Carmen, a resort that perfectly matched our needs for luxury, accessibility, and guest entertainment.

Throughout the planning process, Kate’s expertise made everything seamless. From booking rooms for our 80 guests to coordinating every single airport transportation, she handled every detail flawlessly. Her proactive reminders and travel tips ensured everyone was well-prepared for the international trip.

Kate's personalized approach made us feel like we were her top priority. She genuinely cared about us and our guests, always available to answer questions promptly or schedule a quick call.

Thanks to Kate’s attention to detail and personalized touch, our wedding week was stress-free and unforgettable.

If you’re considering a destination wedding, hire Kate’s Travel. She made our dream wedding a reality, and we can’t thank her enough!

We had exactly the wedding we wanted thanks to Kate's Travel! Kate's guidance in selecting a resort, coordinating travel plans and problem solving with our guests made having a destination wedding a breeze!

We used Kate as a group travel agent for our April 2023 wedding. She came from a recommendation from a coworker of mine and we're happy we chose her.

We began the process of having an introductory call telling her what kind of resort we were looking for, she came back to us with many options and the pros/cons of each, once we selected one, she worked on our room block contract. Once that was all set we sent out all our invites and guests began booking rooms. It was a pretty easy process and she made it easy for our guests to get what they wanted. She also coordinated all our transportation to/from the airport for all our guests, and that pricing was included with the room pricing which made things easy.

All of our guests were pretty close in room location too which was also nice as the resort we had our wedding at was very large.

We got good perks with her as well, we got money back since we booked so many rooms at the hotel and it ended up being more than we anticipated too.

Having a travel agent was great and something I definitely recommend any destination wedding couple has, as it was one less task for us to do and made things much easier for our guests. Thanks, Kate!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Kate's Travel for our destination wedding in Cancun. From start to finish, the team at Kate's Travel was professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. They made the entire process of booking travel for our guests completely seamless and stress-free. Whenever we had a question or needed assistance, the team at Kate's Travel was quick to respond and always provided me with clear, helpful information.

We were particularly impressed with their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our big day. They worked closely with us to ensure that all of our guests arrived on time and that everyone had a comfortable, enjoyable stay in Cancun.

Overall, we would highly recommend Kate's Travel to anyone planning a destination wedding or any type of travel. Their expertise and customer service are truly top-notch, and we are so grateful for all of their hard work in making our wedding vacation a success for us and our guests!

Kate is absolutely amazing! She made planning a destination wedding with 45+ people VERY easy. She is timely, professional and does all the hard work for you!!! HIGHLY recommend her if your planning a destination wedding!
