Hi, I’m Barbara — founder of Romantic Journeys and lifelong believer that love should be celebrated boldly, beautifully, and maybe even barefoot on a beach!

For over two decades, I’ve been helping couples like you plan the most meaningful travel experiences of their lives - from dreamy destination weddings to unforgettable honeymoons. With deep industry connections, firsthand knowledge of the world’s most romantic destinations, and a fierce Momma Bear instinct when it comes to your happiness, I’m here to take the stress off your shoulders and put the sparkle back into planning.

Whether you’re dreaming of a multi-day wedding celebration in paradise or a secluded honeymoon escape to reconnect after the big “I Do” at home, I’ll help you find the destination that fits you - not just what the internet recommends. Because let’s face it - ChatGPT and Reddit don’t know your love story.

Working with me, you will get a seasoned expert - a straight-shooting truth-teller - and your own personal champion through every step. I listen carefully, plan meticulously, and advocate relentlessly so you can focus on what matters - making memories together.

You bring the love - I’ll handle the logistics.

Maui Fairytale!

Barbara was amazing! She was an integral part of my destination wedding! Truly, I couldn't have done it without her patience and expertise, especially since we we started working together during the pandemic. It was scary but she helped ease my worries. She got straight to work and helped confirm a room block in Maui for my guests. She made sure all of my guests had everything they needed, from hotel accommodations to shuttle service. She communicated with me on a frequent basis. She was able to move swiftly when there were changes and late guest add-ons. She was able to secure my fiance and I a wonderful 2 bedroom cottage, where we were able to host a Welcome Reception for our guests and then a one bedroom villa for our honeymoon suite. I cannot express how grateful I am for Barbara.

Barbara was fantastic to work with. She helped with all the travel details for a long and complicated trip that involved 5 countries. She was always very helpful with suggestions and took care of all the details. With all the planning and wedding details, it was nice not to have to worry about the honeymoon. We had an amazing honeymoon and it was all thanks to Barbara's hard work.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
