Kate is amazing
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.”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.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Ashley. 💕 It was an absolute pleasure to assist with your wedding at Secrets Maroma. I'm delighted to hear that your experience was stress-free and that your guests felt supported throughout the planning process. It's heartwarming to know that everyone had such a great time, and I heard from several guests who wished they could have extended their stay! 😁
I can’t wait to see more of your beautiful wedding photos! Thank you for recommending my services, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of your special journey. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness together! - Kate

They say you can’t get married without a significant other, I say you can’t plan a destination wedding without Kate’s Travel!
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!Choosing Kate’s Travel was the best decision we made for our destination wedding.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review, Charlotte!

Knowing that you felt supported and stress-free every step of the way truly means the world to me.
Your wedding was as unique and special as your vision, and I'm thrilled that I could help bring it to life. Your pictures are stunning! I’m so grateful for your trust in me and for the opportunity to ensure that every detail was taken care of, from selecting the perfect resort and arranging the accommodations to setting up the transportation for your entire guest list.

Expert Destination Wedding Travel Agent
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.

So helpful!!!
My husband and I didn't stress one bit about getting everything planned in order to attend our friend's destination wedding. Kate's emails and information were so detailed and everything worked out perfectly! I would recommend Kate to anyone. My husband and I were so busy with work and school that we didn't have a lot of time to put into planning this trip. And we didn't have to because Kate took care of everything.

Amazing Destination Wedding!!!
Let me just start off by saying how wonderful Kate and her team are. My husband and I came to Kate in 2022 wanting help planning a perfect destination wedding. Of course, we were a little nervous about planning a destination wedding post pandemic, but Kate was absolutely amazing and made it seem so simple.
I can't imagine the amount of work that goes into coordinating hotel and flights for an entire wedding party and their guests but from day one Kate was there every step of the way. After we selected the resort and picked a date, Kate set up a wedding website to help us get all the information to our guests.
She also set up transportation to and from the airport which was great. When we arrived in Mexico, we had a nice SUV waiting to take us to the resort. Inside, Kate had some cute gift bags waiting for us, which I thought was very thoughtful. Upon arrival, Kate had sent a card to our hotel room congratulating us on the upcoming wedding. She just had a way of making us feel that she was still there every step of the way.
Kate's knowledge of the resorts and their wedding departments was so helpful.
My husband and I chose the Hyatt Zilara Cancun and let me tell you, this resort is absolutely stunning. In fact, everyone had such a great time we are all planning our next trip back!

A+ destination wedding planning experience!
We had such a great experience with Kate! When we first contacted her we were open to a destination wedding in multiple locations and had no idea where to begin. She took the time to fully understand what we wanted out of our big day, what we wanted for our guests, what our priorities were, pricing range, etc. and then sent us multiple recommendations in different countries and cities. She helped us narrow our selection down to what would work best for us and walked us through each and every step of getting our wedding finalized with the resort. Kate is extremely communicative, thorough and responsive, which is great during a time that can be super stressful. Once everything was confirmed with the resort, she handled setting up transportation to and from the resort for us and all guests and also sent travel documents, packing lists, travel tips and reminders. We heard from many of our guests that they enjoyed working with Kate and were thoroughly impressed with her helpfulness all around! We couldn't recommend Kate more - she helped make our destination wedding planning process as stress-free as possible!We had such a great experience with Kate!

Superior Service from Kate's Travel!
This is the second time we have had the opportunity to use Kate's Travel. The first time was when we were guests at a friend's wedding in the Dominican back in 2015. That experience was so positive that when it came to my son's wedding in Mexico last week (Feb 2022) he & his bride reached out to Kate to coordinate it. Kate is great about helping with changes that come up. She explains the details and makes sure to keep the communications coming throughout the lead up to the event. She also sends great tips for the country you're traveling to and gives updates on the current trends for tipping and other details. Having a wedding out of the country during Covid is not easy and the rules are always changing, but Kate was on top of everything & made sure we were all equipped with the details we needed to know, as well as linking us to the forms we needed to have prior to traveling. It was a real relief to know that we were covered. Kate does an excellent job and I highly recommend her to others!This is the second time we have had the opportunity to use Kate's Travel.

100% recommend kate's travel - read full description
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.We first experienced Kate's Travel as guests traveling for a destination wedding and had an awesome experience.

Kate's Travel
I randomly stumbled upon Kate's Travel on my Pinterest feed when we were planning a destination wedding in Mexico. Without knowing much about Kate's Travel, I randomly sent her an email about the resort we were looking to host our wedding at.
Working with Kate was hands down one of the best decisions we made during our entire wedding process. She knew the resort well and made the destination portion of our planning go so smooth. We originally thought she would only be helping with the travel component of our trip but she ended up being extremely helpful throughout the entire process.I randomly stumbled upon Kate's Travel on my Pinterest feed when we were planning a destination wedding in Mexico.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful words, Britt! Planning a wedding amid the uncertainty of Covid was a little nerve-wracking at times, I know. We made a great team though and your wedding was absolutely beautiful! I'm thrilled your family and friends were there to celebrate with you and Justin. Best wishes for a long and happy marriage! - Kate -

Wonderful experience
Kate did a fabulous job of keeping track of several individuals traveling from all around to join the wedding party in Cancun. It was a very memorable trip not to mention the wedding arrangements were well managed.Kate did a fabulous job of keeping track of several individuals traveling from all around to join the wedding party in Cancun.

Kate made planning a destination wedding during a pandemic EASY
Wedding planning is never easy - planning a destination wedding throughout a pandemic is as challenging as it gets. When I started working with Kate in Feb. 2020 and COVID wasn't even in our vocabulary. Off the bat, she was incredibly helpful in helping my husband and I pick a resort that would check all our destination wedding boxes and answering all our questions. Almost immediately after we set a date, COVID changed the world, however, we set a date for March 2021 and felt like there was no way COVID would be a threat for us then… Fast forward to January 2021 and COVID was very much still an issue. Up until this time Kate had been incredibly helpful in sending informative emails to our group updating everyone on policy and travel guidelines and easing anyone's concerns. As we got closer to the date and guests started to cancel their trips out of fear, my husband and I made the tough choice to postpone our wedding. Kate could not have been more helpful in navigating the logistics of changing our date with the resort and getting all our guests rebooked for December 2021. While we had hoped our second attempt at our wedding would be smoother, Delta and Omicron had other plans. Between last-minute cancelations, changing testing and quarantine requirements, etc., Kate fielded all of our guests' questions and anticipated any concern we would have. Her detailed emails regarding our travel plans made traveling to a foreign country easy for everyone. Additionally, working with a resort in another country can be challenging and when I wasn't getting a response back to my wedding planning questions, Kate stepped in and within two days was reassigned to a new planner who worked with me step by step to bring my vision to life.
Although I doubt she anticipated working with my group for almost 2 years, we could not have asked for a better travel planner to help make our wedding a success. She brought so much peace of mind and made it so easy for everyone to feel comfortable and confident traveling to our wedding.

I've loved every minute of working with you over the past 2 years Bailey! It was a joy getting to know you and your family. We certainly had our share of ups and downs during the planning though, didn't we? You and Dennis were such troopers through it all, and you kept the faith that your wedding dream would come true. I'm so, so happy that you were finally able to celebrate your marriage in beautiful Mexico with your loved ones. It's been heartwarming to hear from everyone about how much fun the trip was and how much they enjoyed the resort. Wishing you and Dennis a lifetime of love and happiness! - Kate -

Amazing Service
Kate’s travel did an amazing job of helping us find the resort of our dreams to host our wedding. Throughout the entire process she was incredibly friendly and always willing to help out. We had a lot of older family memories who aren’t great with technology and she was there every step of the way to answer all of their questions. It was especially hard since we were planning this whole thing in the heart of COVID-19.Kate’s travel did an amazing job of helping us find the resort of our dreams to host our wedding.

I am so thrilled that your wedding was beautiful and just as amazing as you envisioned, despite the challenges of getting married during a pandemic. You and Cody never let Covid ruin your wedding dreams and you persevered through all of the uncertainty and new protocols. And, it was worth it! ❤️ Wishing you both many, many years of happiness. - Kate -

Loved Kate!
Kate was super easy to work with and helped make our destination wedding spectacular. She was available for all our 80 of our guests, allowed a payment plan for them, and helped us choose the best resort to fit our budget and vision. All transport was taken care of, and we even received a fancy SUV to take us to/from the airport. We would highly recommend Kate to any couple planning a destination wedding! On top of being organized and knowledgeable, she's also just a super nice person.Kate was super easy to work with and helped make our destination wedding spectacular.
