All You Need Is Love And The Beach
All you need is love and the beach…and leave the rest of the planning to us. Planning a destination wedding can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. A destination wedding can truly be a magical experience.
The goal is to get to know you as a couple, figure out what your “dream vision” of a destination wedding looks like, and make that come true! Live Well Travel personally visits the resorts and destinations we recommend. This offers you first-hand information on the resorts’ amenities including wedding offerings, food, rooms, spas and activities. I get to know the local culture, offerings outside the resort and will provide helpful travel tips before you go! Most importantly, the goal is to help bring your family and friends together for this special occasion away from home to create and celebrate your unforgettable, memorable event.
I am here not only here to help you plan your special day, but also to provide you the best options for choosing the destination that you’ve been dreaming about. I research and secure the best travel package options for you, partnered with some of the most well-known luxury resort brands and we personalize service every step of the way!
I am always so grateful to be part of helping to provide a relaxing, romantic, memorable and hassle free celebration. Know someone looking to plan their destination wedding? I look forward to connecting with you to plan your next memorable moment.

Amanda was amazing from the get-go. She was extremely knowledgeable, approachable and helpful. We came in with the desire to go on an amazing trip and she delivered. She helped us find the right travel, accommodations, and adventure. She was able to get us into venues and excursions that others could not get into. Overall – it was an incredible experience. Our three girls asked, “Why didn’t we stay longer”. Thank you, Amanda.

"Ann and family! As you embarked on your first trip to Hawaii, I know there were questions of where to go, what to see, where to stay, and even the covid testing requirements prior to travel.

Best trip to Mexico EVER!!
Reviewed By Jules - Apache Junction | Traveled to Cabo San Lucas ~ Baja California Sur ~ Mexico
Amanda is the best. She is so well versed on travel around the world and does her research to ensure that nothing is missed. She helped me plan a 50th birthday trip to Cabo with friends which was originally scheduled for June 2020. Obviously, Covid-19 had other plans and that trip had to get cancelled. She dealt with all of the chaos of the daily changing issues due to the pandemic and made sure that we were able to recover the money we had already put into it to be used towards rebooking the trip. I have no idea how she maintained her sanity through it all but she was so patient in answering our questions and concerns. We rebooked for Sep with high hopes that it would work....and it did! Thanks to Covid, none of the friends that we were hoping would go could go but my husband and I had the time of our lives!! Best trip to Mexico EVER! She covered every detail for us.
Amanda Kelly responded
"Jules, I'm beyond happy that you were able to make your birthday celebration happen! Despite dealing with the hurdles of postponements and delays with covid, we worked through it all together to make it happen. Your pictures, stories and memories will remain with you for years to come, and I'm beyond grateful that you chose me to help throughout your journey! Cheers to more exciting adventures ahead! "

OMG! Amanda has the patience of Job! She helped us maneuver our way through planning a destination wedding in the midst of the pandemic. She also stepped right in to be our "translator/interpreter" when language translation got a little tricky. Wouldn't have wanted to tackle this without her.

Beautiful Honeymoon!
Reviewed By Jess Berg - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Ocho Rios ~ Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Amanda is amazing to work with. She’s quick to respond and so insightful on any place you want to travel. She doesn’t visit a place here and there; she travels the world everyday and has been for years. This shows in her ability to connect you with the right destination or get you ready to explore whatever place you’ve chosen. It was also so nice not to have to deal with bookings and changes with the airport or even the hotel. Anything we needed, we went through her which made the experience easy and stress free. We just got to enjoy the excitement of where we were going for our honeymoon and she took care of the rest!
Amanda Kelly responded
"It was so incredible to help you both plan such a wonderful honeymoon. Knowing that you are excited to go back and want to bring other friends with you is even more exciting. Glad Live Well Travel could help in making it stress free and enjoyable! Congratulations again on your beautiful honeymoon and cheers to many more wonderful years together! "

Hawaii Whirlwind ... Life's too short, do it now!
Reviewed By MoMo - Owen WI | Traveled to Oahu Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Awesome Amanda!
We haven't traveled much so the comfort and security of having Live Well Travel guide us and support us was priceless. Informing us of the proper steps to navigate covid guidelines was our first hurdle and Amanda made it smooth going.
The flights and accommodations were great especially with a limited time to prepare. We only requested her help two weeks before leaving. Our resort was right on the beach yet still in our price range. We would not have been able to find something like that. The link to activities was very helpful. We used some of the suggestions and were not disappointed. And even if we didn't use some of the specific companies it still gave us ideas of what was available.
The helicopter ride was a highlight. We totally recommend it. We also snorkeled with the sharks which was awesome! We couldn't have done it without Amanda's help.
Thank you so much!

We have worked with Amanda to book our trip to Ireland and Scotland. In booking it, she was responsive, had unique ideas that would make our trips "ours." Then, in the COVID-19 world of canceled and delayed trips and confusion, Amanda has been amazing in her thoroughness. It gives me so much comfort, in a time where nothing is known, to have Amanda helping us through the process. I was already grateful for the her planning, ideas, and savings.

Easy to work with for amazing trips
Reviewed By Brian and Diana - Jersey City | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
Amanda was so easy to work with as we planned our honeymoon during ever-changing COVID restrictions kicked in. And then… she was even more impressive when we had to delay it over a year. I tend to obsess over vacations I plan, making sure every detail is accounted for and that we don’t miss a thing and everything we do is the best option in the area. Amanda got to know us, our tendency to over-plan, and made us feel confident she was planning the best trip possible. And while on the trip (across three Hawaiian islands) her recommendations and plans hit the mark every time. In the age of the Internet I used to wonder why anyone would use a travel agent… and Amanda is why. From the towns, to the hotels, to the restaurants, to the tours, even the weather - she knows all the best spots and makes sure they’re the best for you, not just highly rated on all the review sites. Amanda makes booking a vacation just as enjoyable as being on vacation.

I don’t know where to begin. Amanda was absolutely wonderful! From my first call with her, I knew my family vacation was in good hands. I told her what we wanted for a family vacation and she came up with the perfect trip. In a matter of days, she called me with the costs for the entire trip. She had coordinated flights for two families from different states, a travel van to accommodate all 9 of us and a beautiful villa with five bedrooms, complete with a pool and hot tub. After these essentials were booked, Amanda suggested activities/excursions we might enjoy. She maintained contact throughout the process and kept us on track. She logistically booked activities based on where we were and how far we’d need to drive on any given day. I will absolutely use Amanda again and will recommend her to others! She remained cheerful, upbeat, understanding and attentive throughout the entire process. A++, Amanda!

Adventurous Australia
Reviewed By Rick - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
This complex and lengthy trip required lots of help from Amanda, as we were in several different hotels and took many internal flights to access remote areas. Thanks to her help, we were able to see much more of the country than we would have on our own.
Accommodations were all top-notch and we especially enjoyed the Silky Oaks Lodge and Saffire Freycinet. The staff at both places were attentive and engaging. At the Saffire, the GM (Cameron) even made sure we all got to experience the Tim Tam Slam as an after-dinner treat. They went beyond expectations in every way.
We also enjoyed the excursion staff. They made us feel that we had made a real personal connection with Australia. "Lunchie" and Doug with Australian Coastal Safaris were particularly accommodating, as was Bailey (our guide in Tasmania).

"Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. I loved designing this very special itinerary that allowed you to experience Australia’s remote and remarkable regions with ease.

Relaxing traveling
Reviewed By Linda - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
Amanda with Live Well Travel was able to create our own personal itinerary for 16 days in Ireland without using a car! We did not want to rent a car and drive on the opposite side of the very narrow roads. Instead, we used the trains to move from town to town. We visited Dublin, Kilkenny, Killarney, and Galway. We traveled from the end of October to November 11th which was the off-season. Amanda selected very nice hotels near the center of towns for activities and close to the train stations. She also put together a nice mixture of touring activities which was more difficult in November. All the many day tours took place without any problems. The tour guides were extremely informative and enlightened us on the history and culture of the areas we toured. We really appreciated having access to the Tern app which provided our daily itinerary, confirmation information, and access to the local tour coordinators. It was relaxing knowing Amanda had our trip planned out with true forethought. We highly recommend Live Well Travel agency and Amanda Kelly.

Best Birthday Ever!
Reviewed By Traveler246 - Shoreview | Traveled to Puerto Rico | USA
Amanda at Live Well Travel provided amazing support from planning through completion of our trip. She asked all the right questions, to understand our personal interests and what we really wanted out of our trip. Amanda found the perfect hotel for us – it aligned with all of what we had shared with her on what we were looking for. She found unique activities that we would not have found on our own. She provided very useful information to help prepare for our trip. Even though we were traveling somewhere that we had never been, we felt confident when we left on our travels. An issue came up during our trip, completely out of Amanda’s control, but she and her team were right there with us to help us work it out. All in all, it was an amazing trip that would not have happened without Amanda’s services. She is clearly passionate about her work.
Amanda Kelly responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute joy crafting your special trip. Even when issues arise, I'm glad we could help resolve them quickly as we are here to help throughout. Excited to help you plan your next adventure. "

Australia, New Zealand = Awesome
Reviewed By Strider - Kansas City | Traveled to Auckland | New Zealand | Australia & New Zealand
We had a 14 day trip in late October. We hit New Zealand for a week and did an east coast tour of Australia! Amanda handled everything and the trip was seamless. The planning was extensive but Amanda took the time to really understand what we wanted out of this trip and she got us what we wanted. We had multiple excursions (Lord of the Rings, Hobbiton, The Great Barrier Reef, cage diving, wine and food) and multiple flights and we had no problems whatsoever. The tours she chose for us were excellent. They were small group and in some cases it was just my wife and I. The tour operators were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I am using Amanda's services for my next trip and any trip in the foreseeable future. I can't recommend her enough!!!
Amanda Kelly responded
"Thank you so much for sharing your testimonial. It was an absolute joy to help plan such an epic adventure through New Zealand and Australia.

Amanda Kelly is excellent! She partners with you to understand your desires, interests, and budget to propose ideas as to what you may like and listens to feedback to further tailor suggestions to find that perfect trip for you. No two travelers are the same as to what they find imperative for a successful and fun trip. So much comfort is provided knowing she has visited multiple properties, allowing her to knowledgeably answer multiple questions regarding each property. I had multiple questions, and never once did she seem frustrated but instead, always answered promptly and ensured she addressed my concerns. She relieved much anxiety of traveling with COVID protocols by laying out exactly what needed to be done prior to the trip, what to expect at arrival, and the requirements for departure. I would have not felt comfortable traveling international right now without her assistance. I will continue to capitalize on Amanda’s vast travel experience as I plan future adventures!

No Stress Express to Mexico
Reviewed By Andy - Duluth, MN | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Amanda was wonderful to work with on planning our family vacation. She is very responsive and attentive. She really listened to our wants and desires for the trip and found places that fit what we were looking for. I feel like Amanda didn't push any places or agendas on us, which was appreciated. You can tell that Amanda really loves connecting people with a wonderful experience. She does a great job of following up and ensuring that you are set to go right up to take off. I really appreciated how she mailed us a folder containing all of your reservations and travel documents instead of just emailing them and directing us to print them; nice touch. I would absolutely recommend working with Amanda to anyone.

Bucket List Trip To Peru-EPIC Trip To Remember!
Reviewed By Carol - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Peru ~ South America
Amanda was nothing short of amazing helping us to plan for a bucket list trip to Peru. She asked such great questions to get my husband and I to the heart of the trip we wanted to create. When paired with the airfare it was much less than we were quoted by another agency. Since Amanda has been to Peru, her personal experience and random trip tips (that we didn't even think to ask) were more than helpful.
Amanda stayed in touch with us from start to finish. She thought of everything, including a surprise gift for us upon our arrival in Cusco-after a long day of flying. Our trip was customized to everything we had envisioned. She planned excursions for us based on our interests and we loved all of them. From our mountain climbing zip line adventure to our trek up Huayna Picchu-it was priceless.
Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer! I highly recommend reaching out to Amanda. We are currently working with Amanda on our upcoming trip to Ireland!

"You guys were so fun to work with! And to see your bucket list adventures come to life was nothing short of amazing. I loved hearing about your hike in Macchu Picchu and all the great foods you enjoyed along the way too. Can't wait for your European adventure next!

Reviewed By Wayne and Michelle - Rogers, MN | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Amanda is a special gem in the travel industry. She is excellent at listening to vacation dream specifics and works diligently to find a destination with accommodations and atmosphere to match. Her vast experience is a big bonus. Amanda loves travel and truly loves to see others get out and experience the world. Amanda helped us with every detail and organized our travel information in an App that she personally keeps to help out if needed. Our trip was smooth from start to finish and budget friendly. Thank you Amanda!
