About Me

Proposing on the cliff in Santorini Greece

Romance travel is one of my favorite niche markets. Couples want the bells and whistles during their vacation. They want the romantic Jacuzzi tub on their balcony with an ocean front view. Couples doing their destination weddings are looking for full service wedding planning. I will help you with picking the perfect resort or location to say “I do”. Because I have spent years perfecting these details from wedding coordinators to hotel amenities. Some of the many destinations can include the beaches of the Caribbean or Mexico, overwater bungalows in Tahiti to an adventure to the outback of Australia or thru the enchanting cities of Europe. My promise to provide you with exceptional service from the start to finish. One of my very favorite destinations is the Riviera Maya, which I have vacationed most recently made my 23rd trip down. I think experiencing firsthand the hotels in the region will help me qualify you from an incredible family friendly hotel to the most elegant of adults only! Los Cabos 4 times, Ixtapa twice, Puerto Vallarta 4 times, Huatulco, Punta Cana…the list goes on….I have spent my time exploring hotels, and the destinations have to offer. This is my passion and my job. I love what I do and I want to make your beach destination hotel the perfect fit for you! A destination wedding wouldn’t be the same if you don’t have an expert to help guide you to the right choice for your wedding. It’s one of the most important days of your life! I will handle everything from finding the right hotel, and assisting your guests in their booking process I will provide you with the ultimate concierge service

Missy is a joy to work with
Reviewed By Cindy - Minnetonka MN | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Missy is one of the most passionate agents I know. She really truly cares
about her clients. I know this because I am one of her Whole Sale Business Development Managers. I have worked with Missy for many years. She puts her heart and soul into every booking to make sure she is giving the best advise for the best price to each and every client. When things go right she is so excited about the trips she has planned and takes delight in hearing her clients stories. The very few times things go wrong she is right there trying to get things fixed to the satisfaction of her clients. If my family or friends were looking for an agent Missy would be one that I would recommend. She is knowledgeable, she listens to what your needs and wants are, she makes suggestions based on her experiences and she does this all with a smile.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Magical Experience
Reviewed By Happy Campers - St. Paul, MN | Traveled to Europe
Missy provided outstanding service in assisting us with our vacation planning. She was methodical and patient, working on general ideas first, then focusing on hotels, travel modes (trains, flights, etc.), and finally, specific activities which required advance reservations. She was able to offer alternative ideas through her vast experience of travel that were amazing additions to our trip. And by the time our planning was complete, she packaged everything in a neat, concise travel packet with everything documented in a day by day itinerary. And although we never needed to use them, we were given emergency contacts and numbers in the event of problems on our trip. Thank you Missy!!!

"I am so glad everything went well. England, France, Austria and Switzerland made for such a incredible first time trip to Europe. I am so glad you were able to spend quality time together as a family and enjoy the sites, sounds and smells of Europe! I look forward to helping with the next adventure."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
