About Me

Family Vacations & Destination Wedding Specialist

At 18 years old, I set off for my first great adventure. I travelled to Australia and spent a year discovering the sights, sounds and culture of this magnificent land.  Upon my return home, I immediately began my career in the travel industry. 

It's been 18 years since then, and I can safely say I am still deeply passionate about travel and I love to help my clients achieve their dreams.

I specialize in planning destination weddings for couples.  In many cases, the bride and groom are not only trying to plan their wedding, but also coordinate a trip for a large group of people. 

I alleviate their stress by:

  • booking the entire trip for every member of the wedding group
  • as well as answering all of their questions
  • handling the fiinances
  • coordinating often forgotten details

Couples should spend this special time in their lives planning their wedding and focusing on their big day - not planning a vacation for their friends and family.  I make sure every detail has been considered and finalized, and they don't have to worry about a thing!

When it comes to planning vacations for my clients, my favorite thing to do is create a unique itinerary that will work for them, time wise and budget wise. 

For example, many families love to take their children to Disneyland.  When I book this vacation, I always attach a stay in San Diego as well.  A package that allows the family to unwind and decompress before they head home.

My clients appreciate the fact that I am there for them throughout the entire travel experience - from the planning process through the trip itself, and even after they have returned home.  Unexpected things can happen while travelling, including disruptions in the itinerary and medical emergencies. 

I have the professional experience to help guide you through any issues you may encounter, and will make sure you don't have to stress about anything on your trip.

I believe that every person deserves a trip that is filled with laughter, love and beautiful memories.

"We've been booking our trips with Carmen for 6 yrs. During this time she has helped to find the best deals & booking has gone so smoothly. When unexpected events happen & you have to cancel all travellers or part of the party travelling, she is there to help from start to finish. Our last trip was one of those instances & Carmen stayed in contact with us until we received our payment from the ins company. She makes the whole process of booking easy and tries to always be available when it is convenient for the client.  Always a pleasure doing business with her & just hearing her laugh ( & u will), will make you a return customer for sure."

Cambodia / Vietnam 2019
Reviewed By Maggie - Lake Country, BC | Traveled to Cambodia ~ East and Southeast Asia
As always, Carmen worked with us to book the trip we wanted. She answered all our questions and followed up on our visa approval letter application. When we returned home, she wanted to know if there were any issues or feedback which she could pass onto the tour agents.
Carmen’s bubbly personality makes her a pleasure to deal with and she wants to ensure that you have a great time wherever you go. I’d highly recommend Carmen, you won’t be disappointed.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
