Awesome Destination Wedding
My new husband and I just got back from our Destination Wedding in Mexico. Holy cow, it was perfect. Poor April held my hand all the way. I am so glad we had her take care of everything. April was so understanding and she even told me she had a Destination Wedding in Mexico herself. She put me at ease just knowing she knew what I was feeling.

The Wedding was simply amazing! Everyone made it there with the exception of my elderly grandparents, because of Covid but we got the resort video option so they will get to see it.

If you are thinking about a Destination Wedding, April is the BEST!

Amazing Honeymoon in the Dominican Republic
My husband and I just got back from Punta Cana and it was WONDERFUL! I thought planning a honeymoon now was unthinkable but April set everything up for us and knew everything about restrictions. She made sure that we were taken care of and everything went smoothly.
Yes, I recommend April 100% and 5 Stars! We will most defiantly not take a vacation without her now.
Thank you April, for such an amazing Honeymoon!

Quick Mexico Getaway
My friends and I wanted a quick girl’s vacation to Mexico and April set everything up for us. She even booked us catamaran to Playa Mujerez, which was so much fun. There were 10 of us, all together and everything went smoothly. She was so patient and knowledgeable.

Now our husbands are planning their Guy Getaway for July. It is so funny how excited our husbands are getting about their upcoming trip.

I can’t explain how much easier it was using April as our travel agent.
5 STARS hands down!!!

I will always use April and I know all of the girls will!

I 110% Recommend April
I had never used a Travel Agent before because I though they cost money. April was able to explain that she is compensated by her vendors once we travel so she doesn't charge for her services.
I can truly say that using a Travel Agent, or at least April, was night and day from doing everything on my own. Her knowledge and expertise was mind blowing and I am never going to book a trip on my own again. This was so easy.
I recommend April 110%
