Donna was great! She made sure our honeymoon was everything we were looking for! Got it checked off so quick and don't have to stress about it while planning everything else!

Donna of Lone Star Travel helped arrange travel plans for my wedding guests traveling to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. She did an amazing job! She was professional, responsive, patient, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to any brides planning a destination wedding.

Donna, thank you SO much for planning the perfect honeymoon for me and Chad. St. Lucia was the perfect backdrop to relax and be treated special by Sandals resorts. The Piton Mountains were fantastic and enjoyed the hike. Thank you for notifying the resort that it was our honeymoon, we had a special gift in our room from you. Can’t wait to see what you will have in store for us for our 1st Anniversary trip to Costa Rica!

Donna, I really want you to know that we are so excited to be working with you! You have been really helpful even in these few moments of communication to tailor down our destination wedding options and to think about the best decision for us. You have been giving us exactly what we have been looking for in a travel agent... Someone knowledgably and thoroughly versed on locations and things to think about when planning a destination wedding. You are God sent!

Donna was great to work with from the first point of contact. She was very helpful in her suggestions and visits the resorts she recommends frequently to keep her clients up to date on the most recent status of the resorts. When booking our suite in advance (48 hours before we arrived), she knew about the construction going on next door and asked for a backup room to be held for us in case we weren't comfortable next to the job site.

We had over 40 people attend with us to our wedding and she personally booked every couple. She was very helpful to our whole party.

My family, friends, and I had an amazing time. The resort was simply beautiful and exceeded my expectations. Donna made the recommendation and I trusted her site unseen and I was not disappointed. This was one of the best vacations for me and my family and we enjoyed every minute if it!

Donna was a wonderful travel agent. She helped me with travel arrangements for my family to Cancun for my wedding. There were 25 people traveling as a group. Donna showed great flexibility in our arrangements. We had varied length of stay, airline preferences, room levels, etc. She gave us plenty of options and was very responsive to all requests/questions.

In addition, Donna assisted with my wedding arrangements at the resort. She made sure my wedding coordinator was taking good care of me at the resort at all times.

I would highly recommend Donna for any travel plans.

Donna,

Thank you SO much for arranging ALL my crazy family members from around the US! You did an outstanding job with their personal schedules and requests it still amazes me how you did all that! WE got the honeymoon suite UPGRADE, I know you arranged that as well, thank you, thank you!! And the FREE 2 nights we get to use on our 1st Anniversary is an extra bonus I did not expect! The ceremony at The Royal in Playa del Carmen was amazing and the staff could not have been more accommodating. This was the best decision we could have made. I will tell all my girlfriends who plan on having a destination wedding to call you.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
