Unforgettable Honeymoon, Amazing Travel Agent!

We used Kara to book our honeymoon – she was so wonderful to work with, and we had the most unforgettable honeymoon! She worked with us to understand what both my husband and I were looking for in the trip, and gave us a few different options to choose from. We ended up choosing Madeira, a Portugese island that we were not familiar with before she suggested it to us. Once we chose the location, she helped design and book an amazing itinerary. The hotel she chose for us was outstanding, and every excursion she recommended was flawless. We are so happy we chose Kara to plan our honeymoon – when you plan so much for your wedding, there are no words for how nice it feels to have someone plan such an incredible getaway to celebrate. Thanks Kara!!

Thailand & Vietnam Honeymoon

Kara was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the planning process, making the end result seamless and an incredibly memorable and enjoyable honeymoon. We had a super smooth trip because of her partnership and were so grateful for so many of the small surprises throughout the trip from various accommodations that knew it was our honeymoon (because of Kara).

Well Coordinated - Highly Recommend

Everything coordinated through Ready Set Booked went as planned. Kara ensured we were prepared and was very detailed + responsive. All this to say, I have no recommendations for improvement because it went so well.
