My wife and I worked with Maureen at A1 to book our honeymoon and she was supremely helpful. We gave her a few things to keep in mind that we wanted (beach, warm in the winter, no kids) and she gave us a number of options that fit, across a lot...
of different price ranges. The spot we ended up going to was absolutely perfect! And we never would have found it without her help.
Also, having her do the legwork of pricing out a bunch of options and then booking everything for us made our lives so much easier. We will absolutely be working with A1 again !
Response from the Vendor on 02/05/2020
Thanks so much for the wonderful review, Jordan! Maureen absolutely loved working with the two of you to plan your honeymoon, and we love to hear that you had such an amazing time. We look forward to working with you again in the future!
Monique at A1 went above and beyond for us and our family for our trip to Hawaii and vow renewal ceremony that she facilitated for us. From finding a hair and makeup artist for myself, the officiant that included Hawaiian traditions, down to t...
he reservations at the restaurant after, it was just perfect. It made everything stress free and a dream come true. We would highly recommend Monique and A1 travel for any destination wedding/vow renewal that you are planning. We will be going back to them for our future adventures too.
We had such a great experience working with Maureen at A1. Everything was so easy and smooth! Because of clashing work schedules, we were able to communicate through email and phone to plan our honeymoon. We did not know exactly what our budget...
was, just that we wanted to go to the Bahamas. She gave us very detailed options and answered questions in a very timely manner. It was so nice to have something that was not stressful to plan during all our wedding planning! Definitely will be going through her again! We just returned from the Bahamas and everything was amazing!!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/06/2019
Thank you so much for your nice review, Janessa! Maureen loved helping you plan your Bahamas honeymoon, and she can't wait to help the two of you with future trips! So glad you had such an amazing time.

Hi, Mike!
Thanks so much for your review! We loved helping you plan your trip!
Dana Gonzalez planned the best vacation for my husband and I 30th Wedding Anniversary. Perfect flight times, to our car rental and awesome hotels that I didn't want to leave. We jumped from town to town, put 1000 miles on our rental car. Best...
vacation!! Shout out to Dana, for having the patience with me, since I kept changing where to go first and adding different cities to our very busy trip. I found Dana through our MERSC program through work, everyone is skeptical of using the free Trip Advisor, I'm now telling everyone you must give it a try!!! Go with the Professional on travel tips...…...A1 Travel, ask for Dana!!!

Hi, Lona!
Thanks so much for the glowing review! Dana loved helping you plan, and she looks forward to working with you again in the future!
Monique at A1 Travel is the best! She has helped with all of our vacation planning for years now. She promptly responds to all of our questions when we send requests for ideas of where we should go or which resort would best fit our needs/wants...
since each vacation is different. Her responses are thoughtful and I never feel like I am asking too many questions. She has helped us plan a family vacation to Hawaii with our parents and several milestone birthday trips to various resorts in Mexico. I won't use anyone else! Thanks again for all you do!
Response from the Vendor on 11/04/2019
Hi, Jannie! Thanks for the review! Monique had a lot of fun helping you with your trip, and we look forward to working with you again in the future!
Dana, at A1 Travel helped me plan the best honeymoon my husband and I could have imagined! We were married in June and we have always wanted to vacation in Hawaii. Dana helped us find a resort that fit all our needs. Everything was just like we...
imagined. I couldn't have asked for a better travel agent!
Response from the Vendor on 11/04/2019
Julia, thank you so much for the nice review! I'm so glad Dana helped you plan such an amazing honeymoon, and we look forward to helping you with trips in the future!
Monique at A1 Travel helped us plan our honeymoon to Mexico and she was better than we could have ever hoped for! We gave her some general information about where we wanted to go and how much we wanted to spend, and she did the rest! She found ...
us the most beautiful resort and provided us with a detailed itinerary so we didn't have to worry about any flight/ride details. I would highly recommend for a stress free, easy, and fun experience!
Response from the Vendor on 11/04/2019
Hi, Megan!
Thanks for writing up such a nice review. We're so glad Monique helped you plan such a great honeymoon in Mexico! We hope you keep us in mind the next time you decide to take a trip!
I didn’t want to have to worry about details for our honeymoon amid all the other details of wedding planning. So I used A1 travel by a friend’s recommendation . If you want to let go of the stress of honeymoon planning give it to A1 travel. We...
had the best experience with Monique, I told her where, when and a price range and she nailed it. It helped having someone experienced with hotels, transportation and activity recommendations make the honeymoon magical and a trip we will never forget. If you don’t know where to go for your honeymoon, go to Italy, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you A1 travel!
Response from the Vendor on 11/04/2019
Hi, Rachel!
Thanks so much for writing such a nice review! Monique really enjoyed helping you plan your honeymoon, and we look forward to helping you plan many more trips to come!
Monique from A1 helped me plan my dream honeymoon start to finish. It wasn't an easy task either. We changed our minds on what we wanted from a Northern European tour, to an all inclusive resort in Mexico, to finally 10 days in the mountains of...
Western Colorado. She stuck with me through all my indecisiveness and in the end planned a honeymoon beyond my imagination. I knew to trust Monique because she also planned my 30th birthday trip to Mexico. Beautiful resort for an amazing price and excursions I will never forget. Hello swimming with Sea turtles!! Monique and the team at A1 Travel are the absolute best in the biz.

Hi, Shayla! Thank you! Monique loved working with you to plan your dream honeymoon, and we're so glad you had such a great time!
My husband and I just got married in August. We were avidly searching for the perfect get away. Dana was our agent and she instantly sprung into action. Not only did she find an amazing all inclusive resort for us, she found us 6 to choose from...
in Jamaica. She laid it all out for us, making it easy to look through and choose the perfect match for the two of us. We cannot be more excited to be on our first trip to Jamaica and even more exciting as husband and wife! Thank you Dana and A1 Travel!

Thank you so much for the sweet review! Maureen has loved helping you plan your wedding, and really hopes your big day is a special one!
We didn't have time to plan the honeymoon extensively, as we were busy planning the wedding. Maureen did a wonderful job of recommending great places to stay and fun things to do. When one of the hotels lost the information saying that breakf...

A1 Travel is absolutely amazing. Sandy took care of everything for our honeymoon to Jamaica. All we had to do was tell her the dates we were interested in and she took care of finding us a resort, flights and fun activities to do while we were ...
there. We will use A1 Travel whenever we need to book a vacation!
The A1 Travel team was great when planning our honeymoon to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. We gave them a few details of what were were looking for and what we wanted to do on our honeymoon, and they found several options that fit our criteria...
. It was nice having someone else figure out the details, especially when planning a wedding. They do a very good job about communicating all the little details with you! I will definitely be connecting with A1 Travel for my next adventure!

Thanks so much for your kind review, Shelby! Sandy loved helping you plan your honeymoon, and we're so glad to hear it was a memorable trip!
When planning a wedding in a total of 11 months, I️ felt I️ had no time to plan a honeymoon as well. However, we knew we wanted to take one right after the wedding and we were going to do what we could to make it happen. That is when we decided...
to reach out to Sandy at A1 Travel. Michael contacted Sandy some ideas of where we wanted to go and she immediately got back to us with several options. After making the decision to go to Jamaica, A1 Travel made everything so easy from there! Never before have I️ been on a vacation where I️ did ZERO planning. After our wedding, we packed our bags and followed the itinerary and things were seamless. Sandy even contacted us after our first connecting flight to make sure all was going well and to let us know what would happen once we landed in Jamaica. She set us up with the Mobay club so someone was waiting for us when we landed. They took us quickly to the front of every line from there and soon we had a drink in our hands and we were ready to head to the hotel. The transportation was all set up and we didn’t have to think about anything. Once we arrived at our hotel, we were so amazed with what we saw. It was the most incredible honeymoon I️ ever could have imagined from beginning to end and it all happened because of A1 Travel! We couldn’t be happier or more grateful. Once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget!

Thanks!
Monique had everything ready for us and we had no issues with travel. Everyone that was supposed to pick us up was there so we didn't have to worry at all about getting to and from airport. Paying the extra money for bypassing customs line was...
well worth it. Also, paying the extra money to have a private ride to and from resort was well worth it. I wish A1 could have controlled the weather since it wasn't to nice for a bit, but that would be my only complaint. What would have made the experience better would be having a full list of excursions to plan the other fun stuff.
Response from the Vendor on 12/18/2017
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to review your experience working with Monique! Those extra perks, like expediting the customs and immigration lines and upgrading to nonstop transfers really make the travel days mo...

We worked with Maureen from A1 travel to book our honeymoon. She was so helpful and nice. We stayed at Secerts Royal Beach in Punta Cana. It was great, very clean. The room were a little musty smelling and the food wasn't that great but all in ...
all it was great and we would highly recommend it to others. The entertainment was amazing. On a side note, I wouldn't recommend Now Gardens to anyone. It was very run down and small and nothing like the pictures. It was a 2 min ride to Now Lamair and no where near the ocean. We would highly recommend Now Lamair for a family friend resort and Secrets for adults only. We had a blast. Everything was very smooth booking with A1 travel.
Response from the Vendor on 12/18/2017
Thank you so much for the nice review, Carleen! You're right, Secrets Royal Beach is a very nice choice for honeymooners, and was definitely the right choice over some of the other area resorts you were considering. Thank you for taking the tim...

I had never traveled outside of the U.S. before our honeymoon so naturally we decided to go to Africa on a safari. The entire A1 Travel Team made planning our 'safari and sand' trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar a breeze. The places we stayed were u...
nbelievably beautiful and our safari guide was incredibly knowledgeable and fun. We didn't know where to start to plan our honeymoon - if you are in a similar situation, the answer to that question is give A1 Travel a call!
Response from the Vendor on 11/17/2017
Thanks, Luke! We loved helping you plan your safari honeymoon - it sounds like it was the trip of a lifetime! We really appreciate the nice review and look forward to helping you with future trips, as well!
A1 Travel was great! We worked with Maureen to plan our honeymoon to Sedona, AZ. She picked the perfect spa for us to stay at and recommended a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, which is a memory we will never forget. I highly recommend A1...

Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2017
Thank you for the wonderful review! Maureen really enjoyed helping the two of you plan your Sedona honeymoon, and we're so glad to hear you had such a great trip! We look forward to working with the two of you again in the future. Thanks!
Sandy and the A1 Team were amazing to work with for my honeymoon to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. They provided us with lots of options along with very helpful advice that made our decision process stress free; it was awesome. I didn’t have...
to worry about anything regarding my honeymoon for they took care of it… They provided a peace of mind that everything was going to be great and all I had to do was pack and show up to the airport. Sandy even provided me with her number to call just in case something happened during my trip and I needed her help; this customer service is very hard to find. We have used A1 Travel for a number of trips after our honeymoon and I have to say, their service and knowledge is something you don’t normally find every day. They go over and beyond to make sure your trip is amazing and everything you wanted it to be. I would highly recommend working with A1 Travel for your honeymoon or any upcoming trips you may have. You are going to love the experience.

I first was introduced to Paige and A1 travel when I was planning my boyfriend birthday trip to Las Vegas. I love that fact that she was a pleasure to work with so much that when it was time to book our honeymoon I reached out to her again. She...

My Husband and I returned last week from a flawless week in Hawaii where we got married, and we would like to give a huge thanks to Paige Griffiths and A-1 Travel.
We both have 2 older teens/young adults children that of course came with us. ...
Paige took the time to listen to what are expectations and hopes were and assured us in her friendly, personable way she would do her best to satisfy us.
Paige found us a good deal on a comfortable airline for the flight. She put us all in one row so we could enjoy each other's company on the flight.
Paige had arraigned a transfer for us from the airport to hotel both coming and going. The driver met us all at the airport with an gorgeous lei.
We had explained to Paige that 2 of the kids have already moved to other states for professional opportunities, and the other two were nearing college age, and know it will be a rare event to get everyone together often, so please make sure we all have a memorable trip. She booked us at the Waikiki Sheraton resort. One of the largest, most beautiful resorts on Waikiki. Our Rooms were exceptional, the service was amazing and everyone at the resort went out of their way to make sure we were having a good time and had what we needed.
Paige was a big help in arraigning the wedding as I had dreamed of it. She helped arrange my dream wedding through a Hawaii wedding coordinator. I wanted a simple, private beach wedding. I got that and more. Everything went perfect, from the limo ride, to the beautiful palm lined beach, as well as the photographer and minister. It couldn't have been more fun, beautiful, or stress free. When we got back to the room, A-1 travel had sent us a bottle of champagne and some delicious chocolate covered strawberries. It was such a nice surprise.
We are an adventures family so Paigee arraigned car rental for a few days and suggested several "must see sights" which were all great suggestions. We had some of the best snorkeling ever at shark bay and loved the sights on the North Shore.
Our expectations were high, but Paige and A-1 travel , far exceeded them in putting together the wedding/ honeymoon I always wanted. We'll always be thankful for the all the wonderful memories and will definitely use A-1 travel again!!!
I would highly recommend Paige Griffiths from A1 travel. I wanted a destination wedding in Hawaii and from minute 1 she was interested in me, my wishes and fully engaged in details for my trip. Honestly, she made my planning my wedding/honeym...
oon painless. She recommended plenty of tours to keep us busy, helped to find an off-site wedding package, which was absolutely perfect for us (and a quarter of the price) and set up my hair and makeup appointment. Flights and hotels were booked and we didn't have any issues when we arrived everywhere we had reservations. Paige was very quick to respond to every inquiry and provided me with great information. She was always cheerful and willing to help the flustered bride who hasn't traveled in over 7 years! She also made sure I had everything set, like preparing my marriage license ahead of time and making sure I was confirming all of my appointments when needed. The only things I can think of that she might be able to improve on was details about when the photos would come in the mail (which she immediately looked into) and possibly recommending a helicopter tour (which we wish we would have done since only 20% of Kauai can be seen by car). Oh, and I had never used a travel agent before. Now, I will never travel again without the help of Paige from A1 travel. Seriously, she was great! Thanks Paige!!
