meet MERISSA

"Merissa is amazing to work with! She planned our honeymoon and we had to cancel due to a hurricane, but she helped us book another destination in less than a day so we could fly out during our original travel dates. She even booked us a rental car and had champagne and a card sent to our room when we arrived. She bent over backwards to help plan a perfect honeymoon for us and we couldn’t be more grateful for her guidance. She works hard to get you the best deals and travel perks."

"We would’ve been lost without Merissa. We will forever be using her as our travel agent."

Audrey K.

"Merissa did an incredible job planning and coordinating our honeymoon in Seychelles and Dubai. We especially appreciated the detailed itinerary that kept us organized and her constant responsiveness, which made us feel fully supported throughout the trip. At each hotel, we were greeted with champagne, a personal note from Merissa, and other thoughtful touches. Any fees paid for her upgraded services were returned many times over through villa upgrades, complimentary spa treatments, lodging discounts, and more."

"We would enthusiastically recommend Merissa to anyone planning a honeymoon or any other special trip."

"We just returned from our couple's trip to Puglia and Paris and I cannot thank Merissa enough for planning the most unforgettable trip!! She went above and beyond booking hotels, car services, reservations, and excursions! Our group even decided to add a couple things last minute and Merissa helped us mid trip continue to set things up!"

"Amazing trip and so lucky to have a wonderful planner like Merissa. 10000/10!!"

CARLEY W.

"Working with Merissa was great!! The mobile itinerary she provided was incredibly easy to use throughout our stay and kept everything organized in one place.
She was extremely responsive whenever we had questions—whether it was restaurant reservations, transportation, or small details that came up while traveling. Her hotel and dining recommendations were spot-on, and she helped coordinate our transportation from place to place."

"We had an amazing trip thanks to her guidance. Highly recommend working with her!"
