    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Angee was a very exciting person to help us through the destination wedding process! She was patient with us through ALL of our questions and stayed calm although we probably asked the same questions multiple times.
    Angee was quick to check with the resort and get back to us about wedding details, prices, and questions we had from our guests.
    The resorts that Angee recommended us were in our price range and exactly what we were looking for.
    Our guests were impressed how Angee set up quick transfers to/from the airport.
    We were very impressed and will use her again in the future!

    I had the pleasure of working with Angee and Vacations With Flair to plan my honeymoon to Maui. During the planning process, Angee was responsive and attentive to work with; she helped build the perfect vacation including hotel, airfare and excursions. During our trip they checked in to make sure all was well and even fixed a schedule issue! Their guest service is incredible and I am planning to work with them again in the future.

    From day one Angee was so attentive and helpful while helping us plan our honeymoon. She answered all of our questions and was so timely with any requests that we had. She went above and beyond when our flight from Chicago to Miami was delayed an hour and a half. We missed our flight to St. Lucia by 30 minutes and were stuck in Miami for the night. This threw off our reservations for our helicopter tour as well as the fact that we were going to lose a whole night in our butler suite. We called her as soon as we landed in Miami and within 2 hours she called us back and said everything was taken care of. She had pushed our stay out an additional night and rebooked our helicopter ride. She took the stress off of us and allowed us to enjoy our little detour stop in Miami. She was absolutely amazing and would recommend her to anyone who is traveling!

    My husband and I knew we wanted a perfect, unforgettable, once in a lifetime honeymoon, but had no idea where to even begin looking...that's when we found Angee with Vacations with Flair. She was amazing to work with and provided us with service we truly don't think we could get anywhere else! Not only did she help us book our honeymoon, flights, and prepare us for our travel with helpful tips, tricks, and advice, but she was also available and in contact with us 24/7 throughout our travel to ensure we had the best experience possible. We are already looking forward to working with Angee again! :)

    My husband I went through Vacations with a Flair, our representative was Angee Shields. We really enjoyed her service. She was very responsive to all my emails. She was not pushy. She showed us tours that we could do. We booked them with her too. When it came to the honeymoon. She had everything ready for us and we did not have to pay anything in St. Lucia exept for the tips on the excursions. She was very friendly. I am going to use her again in the future.

    Angee Shields booked the vacation of a lifetime for my wife and I. We got married on Oct. 12 and went to Riviera Maya, Mexico from the 14th-20th for our honeymoon. She got us a newlywed suite at an all inclusive resort. Plus, she set up the flights and transportation to and from the resort. She was very helpful with helping us prepare for a trip outside of the country. Also, she was very quick to answer every single one of my many questions. We will use her again as out travel agent the next time we want to go on a vacation.

    I want to say thank you to Angie for helping us plan the perfect honeymoon!

    She was so great to work with and so helpful with all of the questions that we had regarding where to go. When we started looking at places to go we spoke with 3 different travel agencies and they didn't really seem interested in helping us. I saw Angie at a local bridal show, and I am SO thankful that I did, because I know we would not have had the honeymoon we did without her!!! She was so welcoming and immediately put us at ease about where to plan our honeymoon as it can get very stressful. She takes care of everything! All you have to do is show up :)

    She was on the phone with us for over an hour on a Friday night, helping us find the perfect place to go and answering our questions. She uses her personal travel experience while recommending places which we really found trustworthy. She was very prompt replying back to emails and phone calls (even when it's the night before we leave and we still have questions!!!) She was always more than happy to help in any way that she can and we cannot say enough good things about her!!

    We cannot wait to book our next trip with her!

    Angee was always available to answer my questions and found me a great deal for my destination wedding in Hawaii and honeymoon in Bora Bora. I contacted her on a weekend while I was on my honeymoon and she responded very quickly and helped me out with a problem had. I already recommended her to my cousin for her honeymoon.

    Angee's was incredible to work with. She helped us find the absolute perfect Honeymoon package. We were so busy with other wedding details that we gave her our budget, told her where we had been, mentioned a couple places we thought of visiting and yet told her we were open with her suggestions. She provided several options right at our budget level and our Honeymoon was phenomenal - we never even left the resort as it provided all we needed and more. We would not have changed one thing! Thanks Angee!!!!

    Absolutely nothing but RAVE reviews for Angee and the services she provided! She helped us put together a family vacation for six of us and we had so many little requests and struggles along the way (especially scheduling!) She was always patient and willing to help, available to answer questions, and, as always, went way above and beyond in making sure our trip was easy and stress free! She is truly the best - there's not another travel agent I'll work with because I'm spoiled with her attention to detail and amazing customer service!

    We could not be happier that we were referred to Angee Shields with Vacation with Flair. She listens to her clients needs and really tries to get to know the couple when suggesting honeymoon destinations. We loved our resort and were very sad to leave. It was a very stress free trip because Angee arranged airport transfers so we didnt have to figure out how to get to our resort once we landed. We were also surprised to learn that Angee called the resort manager and was able to get us upgraded to the Honeymoon Suite. Which was AWESOME!!!!! We have found our new travel agent in Angee Shields!!!
