DWD Travel & Destination Weddings

06/10/2026

Before we know it, Christmas will be in the past, Football Season and the Super Bowl will be old news, and Spring break 2027 will be here!

It feels far away, but it It isn’t! 😱

Every year I watch the same thing happen. The families who book their Spring Break vacation in October get the two bedroom suites, the connecting rooms, and the flights that leave at a reasonable hour. The families who book in January get what's left.

Family friendly rooms at the all inclusives everyone loves are the first to go, and school breaks overlap enough that everyone ends up shopping for the same week.

If spring break is on your list, now is the time. Let’s chat about what you’re looking for, and I'll take it from there.

Kara & Kyle traveled to celebrate their 10 year wedding anniversary this summer, and had the best time!

It took us awhile to nail down exactly where they’d go, and there were even times after booking they weren’t sure, but, in the end, they were so happy with where we landed!

Kyle was a bit apprehensive about Mexico, nothing I hadn’t heard before! 😉 But after some education, he was willing to give it a try. It turned out to be the perfect destination for them…

So much so, they’d already booked their return for next summer!

Kara said, “Thank you for helping us navigate this process to pick out a perfect resort to celebrate our anniversary!”

I would love to help you relax, recharge, and celebrate your next milestone like I did for the Crawfords!

Never Forget.

Summer is winding down, school has started, and weekends consist of us trying to beat the heat.

Tonight, that means a family night in watching a movie together. We are enjoying Autumn & the Black Jaguar on Prime.

It’s the story of a young girl who befriends a black jaguar in the Amazon rainforest, and, eventually, comes to her rescue. It got my wheels turns on visiting the Amazon, and what an incredible experience of nature that would be!

Naturally, I pulled up Amazon River Cruises from one of my favorite river cruise company, Avalon! And that is how my bucket list continues to grow!

So, who wants to come along to explore the Amazon?!

Discover the wonders of South America with cruises to Peru with Avalon Waterways. Experience the Inca Empire, Machu Picchu, and the untamed Amazon jungle.

Your destination wedding planner & travel advisor… in the wild. 🌴

Yes, this is a vacation. No, I didn’t actually unplug. And that’s okay! Don’t get me wrong, I hold my vacations sacred (and plan a completely unplugged one at least once a year).

But this trip was always intended to be a working one. Here’s what it looked like…

Poolside room block contract reviews for upcoming weddings
Phone calls between resorts with couples dreaming up their destination weddings
And inbox (nearly) down to zero somewhere between the sunscreen reapplications.

Sacred vacation time doesn’t always mean an out-of-office reply. Sometimes it means bringing the laptop somewhere beautiful and doing what I love from a beach chair instead of a desk.

Turns out negotiating room blocks hits different with a strawberry daiquiri nearby! (J/K no import stuff happening with alcohol involved!)😘

If you’re planning a destination wedding (or just your next great trip), I’m your person. Count on me for the logistics, the details, and everything in between! 🤩

Thank you Destination Wedding Travel Agent | Megan Amelio for helping with those reviews & Jen Amelio | Chicagoland Realtor for the pics! 😄

I feel such pride and honor to call this great place home. We aren’t perfect, but step by step, day by day, we, the people, come together to move it in a direction that is better than it was yesterday.

Celebrating the 4th of July, the United States of America’s Independence Day, isn’t condoning the government, ignoring the mistakes of our history, or pretending we don’t have faults…

It’s having patriotism to the land we call home and the people we share it with, having gratitude for the strides we’ve made and mistakes we’ve overcome & corrected, honoring the people who work tirelessly to protect it and the people who work to better it, even in some small way, every single day. And there’s nothing wrong with that kind of patriotism. That’s what we need!

It’s the beauty in every place, every face that is woven into the fabric of our nation. From sea to shining sea.

Happy 250th Birthday, America! What a beautiful place we get to call home!

Here are just a few places we’ve loved visiting across the USA. America, you really are beautiful!

1 State of Liberty, NYC
2 Joshua Tree National Park, California
3 USS Lexington, Corpus Christi, Texas
4 Saguaro National Park, Arizona
5 White Sands National Park, New Mexico
6 Matagorda Bay, Texas
7 Walt Disney World, Florida
8 Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

10 Sedona, Arizona
11 Chicago, Illinois
13 The Alamo, San Antonio, Texas
14 Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina

My first-ever plane ride was at 26 years old. Destination: New York City. ✈️

I'm a small town Texas girl who dreamed about the big city but never actually thought I'd make it there. Then one day my husband (who has traveled the world for work) looked at me and said, "if you want to go so bad, just go."

So I did. And I planned every single minute of that 7-day trip with my mom. Every restaurant, every subway route, every "we need to be here by 9am sharp."

I've joked I was basically Clark Griswold with a trip clipboard. 😂 My mom says I walked her to death.

That trip changed the entire trajectory of my life, and I definitely don’t plan itineraries that packed anymore. 😜
