About Me

HONEYMOON AND CARIBBEAN MATCHMAKER

Hi there! I'm Kendra! My background is wedding planning where I learned I was passionate about getting to know couples, creating personalized touches, and helping them enjoy their day stress-free! I loved hearing about the honeymoons each couple planned, and after traveling myself, I knew I would love planning those dream honeymoons! I love getting to know each couple and their story, listening to them describe their perfect vacation and helping make it a reality. On top of romance, I also love the Caribbean and anywhere I can find some sunshine! I spent a semester of college in the Virgin Islands which is where I fell in love with the turquoise-blue Caribbean Sea! Being from the Midwest, I understand dreaming of trading in white snow for white sand for a few long months out of the year. The last thing I want for you is a stressful time planning and getting there! With so many options for destinations, resorts, and rooms, I will help you find the perfect match for any desire!

Winter Getaway Gal
Growing up in northern Minnesota, I understand all too well the reality that January brings. The holiday season is over, you get excited when you see the sun and the temperatures are above 0, but most days are dark and too cold to want to leave the house. I'm no stranger to wanting to esca...Read More ▶

Honeymoon In Cancun
Reviewed By Matthew - Huxley, Iowa | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
My wife and I were very fortunate to have had Kendra plan our recent honeymoon, especially during a uniquely busy phase of life. She was most helpful from beginning to end: thorough presentation of suitable & well-researched destinations, timely coordination of to-do's during the process, and a check-in when we returned home. Kendra is extremely prompt and made us confident that all travel concerns were timely addressed. She is outstanding communicator who makes travel worry free. Kind and gracious on top. Five stars.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Rome and Sorrento Dream Trip
Reviewed By Kelsey - Bloomington, MN | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Kendra did a great job helping us put this trip together, especially since we came to her last minute and then had a curve ball of an injury and not knowing how that would affect our travel plans but she was still able to get us everything we needed and answer any questions we had! It was such a relief to know we had someone to reach out to for support. Her recommendations and resources were a great fit for us and really helped us have an amazing trip. We are so grateful and can't wait to do it again!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
