Destination Wedding Made Easy!

This is our second time using Jacob's services!
When my coworker invited me and my husband to his multi-day wedding in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, I was excited yet cautious. We were completely unfamiliar with the area, so we needed help for ease and for sightseeing. We wanted to be on the frugal side, and Jacob was extremely helpful in getting us the best prices without sacrificing comfort. He even got us a better discount than the reserved wedding hotel block at the same hotel! Jacob booked our rental car so we weren't spending exorbent amounts on Uber. For our flights, Jacob asked thoughtful questions like what comforts we wanted to keep or compromise to stay within our budget. He watched a few flights prices rise and drop so we were able to book a nicer airline still within our budget!
Overall, I would recommend Jacob for his personableness, his expertise, and his commitment to following the parameters you communicate (budget, interests, etc.).
