Angee is amazing. Super friendly, cheerful, and accessible. We were overwhelmed with all the choices for honeymoons and she listened to what we were looking for and helped us narrow it down to a few options that were perfect for us and within our price range. We chose Excellence El Carmen in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and LOVED IT. Angee took care of flights, ground transportation, hotel reservations, everything. She came by our house before we left to drop off documents and answer questions. We felt like all we had to do was show up and enjoy our time! Highly, highly recommend Angee for help with honeymoon travel or any other kind of travel you might be planning! She is awesome!

Angee was ah-mazing! As we know, it can be tough being a bride... lol Angee really relieved some stress off my shoulders by handling our guests' travel itineraries and hotel accommodations. She creates a beautiful website dedicated to the bride and groom which guests were easily able to find any information you wanted to communicate. She was there for us via email and phone and answered a lot of questions we had professionally and quickly. She was always offering suggestions for the things we were clueless on, regarding invitations, tours, and just general timeline inquiries we had. This review is long overdue but better late than never. :) Thanks Angee!

We used Vacations with Flair/Angee Shields for our Los Cabos destination wedding in April and loved her! We had about 70 people coming in from different areas and each was handled wonderfully, we heard nothing but great things from our guests. Angee's response time and thoroughness is unbelievable. The website she created for our guests was extremely helpful and presented the info so nicely. We highly recommend Angee, she will not disappoint!

Angee helped me out tremendously when it came to my wedding travel! She answered every question that I had, even when it came to my wedding! If she didn't know the answer right away, she would figure it out!

Vacations with Flair/Angee helped my husband and I plan our dream Honeymoon to Greece (13 days). We initially met with her in person to discuss a few Honeymoon ideas we had been throwing around. After a brief chat we narrowed down the destination to GREECE. I knew that planning an international trip would be overwhelming (especially while planning a destination wedding) and I would not have felt comfortable planning a trip of such magnitude by myself. Throughout the process my husband and I changed our minds 1 million times about travel dates, what islands we wanted to visit, budget, hotels etc. but Angee never seemed frustrated with us. (Even though I am sure we drove her crazy at times) Angee took care of every detail. Flights, Airport Transfers, Ferry Tickets, Hotels and Excursions. We stayed at two beautiful hotels in Santorini that fall under the Classic Vacations umbrella. Perivolas in Oia and Sun Rocks Hotel in Firostefani. Perivolas was the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at and I am glad Angee suggested this property to us. The service we received from the staff was first class and the VIEW....nothing will ever compare. When we arrived at our 2nd hotel we weren't very happy with the location of our room (due to a foot injury) I emailed Angee to let her know we were kind of bummed and she called the Hotel to see what could be done. We were moved to a new room the next morning and I was glad that Angee was able to call the hotel on our behalf to get that squared away since we we were preoccupied that afternoon on an excursion. After booking with Vacations with Flair/Angee she sends you a detailed itinerary and handy travel compartments to help you stay organized. Whether you are planning your Honeymoon and an Extra Special Vacation I would highly recommend Vacations with Flair to assist you with your vacation needs.

What can I say!? Angee provided us with the honeymoon of our dreams! Neither my husband, nor I had ever taken a vacation like this ever in our lives and really wanted something special. We had a limited budget, and Angee did an AMAZING job listening to what we did/didn't want, and matching it to personal style and budget needs. She hooked us up with an AMAZING room at the Hard Rock Resort in Riviera Maya in the adults only Heaven section. She left a surprise element by not telling us what room she booked for us. To our surprise she had booked us the Deluxe Platinum Sky Terrace! An amazing room, quiet, with a great ocean view. The perfect setting for our honeymoon! Our travel arrangements went off without a hitch and Angee called our room phone to make sure that we arrived safely and without any problems. She even provided great practical advice for navigating the airport in Cancun, etc. This resort was AMAZING! Angee and her family had already traveled there and knew this would be a great spot for us, matching both of our personalities and having activities and services that we would both enjoy. Her service is personal, friendly, trustworthy, exciting, and exceptional! At the end of our trip we had a significant flight delay that meant our ride couldn't pick us up from the airport. Angee was in constant communication with us during our delay and arranged transportation for us from the airport so that we didn't have to arrange another ride. Seriously the BEST, most outstanding customer service we have ever received. We cannot say enough about Angee and Vacations With Flair! We had the honeymoon of our dreams, memories that will last a lifetime, and my previously "not a beach guy" husband, is needless to say, now a "beach guy" and we are already thinking through when we can return! Highly, highly recommend!

Angie with Vacations with Flair was absolutely amazing! She worked out our dream trip within our budget and had such a memorable honeymoon. If there was ever trouble or a question, she was just an e-mail or text away and responded quickly. We couldn't have asked for someone better to work with and would definitely recommend her to anyone planning a trip. Can't wait to book another trip with her!

We have worked with Vacations with Flair on a couple of marketing projects and we always found Angee to be knowledgeable and easy to work with. So when it came time to plan our own honeymoon, we were sure that we wanted Angee's expertise. Angee had so many great ideas and suggestions for our honeymoon destination. The resort she suggested for us was beyond anything we could have found for ourselves and she planned great excursions for us so we could really get out and see the island. She is a definite pro that you will want to work with - as a vendor or a bride!

I love, love, love Angee with Vacations with Flair! I refer her to every client I work with! She is so wonderfully warm and welcoming - you instantly feel comfortable with her - like a friend you've always had! She really listens to you about what you're envisioning for your honeymoon/vacation and she works so hard (and so fast!) to get the information together for you! I truly don't have enough good things to say about her except that, if you work with her, you're in the very best hands of anyone I've met. So glad our paths have crossed!
