About Me

In 1984, I put college on hold and took a travel course, and never looked back. I started my travel career in a back storage closet filing brochures! From there I made it to the first desk in a full-service agency, as the only agent selling both leisure and corporate travel.  Then in 1995 the floor fell out from beneath me...Airline commission cuts! What was the future of the Travel Agency as we knew it? On the heels of that, came the Internet frenzy.

As fate would have it, a side gig as a Banquet Manager turned into a Catering Sales Manager position. While keeping my hand in travel, my mindset became Events. On maternity leave with my daughter the idea came to me to combine two careers and WA-LA, At Your Service Events & Travel, LLC, was born in 1998. I now had a background in Travel, Weddings, and Events, so it seemed only natural when travel resurfaced with a bang – for me to come back as a full time Romance and Celebration Travel Specialist, my passion was hand stamped and my focus has been life cycle events ever since. Destination Weddings, Honeymoons, Vow Renewals and Celebrations are my specialty.

I am a Certified Sandals Specialist, with over 77 bookings at Sandals and Beaches Resorts, an AMResorts Master Agent which now falls under the World of Hyatt Inclusive Collection, a preferred partner with Playa Resorts, I hold a Bachelor of Education with Royal Caribbean International Cruise Line and have earned a Certificate as a Bahamas Romance Specialist from the Bahamas Tourist Board. I have been honored with the 2023 BEST OF WEDDINGS from The Knot and the 2023 COUPLES CHOICE AWARDS from Wedding Wire.

After almost 4 decades I can honestly say, I love what I do. I look forward to making your Celebration Travel the best it can be! Your vision awaits...

Unexpected fun
Reviewed By Ears - Elkins Park, PA | Traveled to Amsterdam | Netherlands | Europe
Sharon recommended a cruise which fit our destination requests. She arranged all the tours and air travel, as well as ground transportation. She was efficient and knowledgeable. All her suggestions made our trip more enjoyable.
Sharon Budman Watts responded
"TG, I am so glad the cruise was FUN! I know Virgin Voyages is a different experience from your previous cruises! In addition to the perfect itinerary - there were other factors that connected you to this sailing initially in my mind, one of which was the dining options. So glad it was a success and the flights, transfers, ship and excursions all worked in harmony - except of course the United Airlines delay... I cant wait to book the next trip!! Thank you for trusting me with your vacation!!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials

Great Destination Wedding and Honeymoon
I was skeptical of a Destination Wedding and my wife to-be was 100% for it. I guess they say a Destination Wedding is a less stressful - but she was stressed until she found Sharon Budman. Sharon held her hand through the whole process, she was knowledgeable about wedding stuff in general, different destinations and wedding requirements- a lot of which we had no clue. She made the process seamless!Our wedding/honeymoon was amazing! I honestly think it was because we had Sharon with us every step of the way! She was great!We highly ecommend her as do our parents and friends who she helped with their travel arrangements too.
