We work with Stefanie for all of our travel needs, we had her book our wedding group in Mexico this May and she did an amazing job communicating and organizing our trip. She travels and is very knowledgeable.
We are extremely grateful for the amazing services provided from start to finish, and every moment in between, by Karen. There was ZERO stress involved in this magical trip! The lodging choices were gorgeous, the travel plans smooth sailing, and always having a helpful representative from Blissful Vacations to call in case of difficulty allows for a feeling of ease while traveling that is difficult to express. Throughout the planning process, Karen was proactive in learning the ins and outs of our travel preferences, hobbies, etc. The give and take of information between us during the planning process as we finalized details was a great balance which resulted in our perfectly personalized honeymoon.
Jackie took care of everything when it came to planning our honeymoon. Right from the start, she helped us figure out the best destination based on our budget and priorities for the trip, and then handled everything from airfare, to transportation to and from the resort, and any add-ons for the stay that we might have wanted. Jackie was wonderful to work with and we really appreciated all her help!
Any questions?
Amy (DFW) was very helpful in helping us choose the Royalton for our wedding. She even spent time on her OWN vacation to check out the resort and do a site visit! Very very thankful for her help!
Jessica was so helpful in planning us the perfect honeymoon. She listened to us and found us an incredible deal for our budget! Besides choosing from the few options she provided, we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Jess took care of finding transportation and gave us great advice on what to do at the resort, so that we could really enjoy ourselves!
I seriously love Jessica! We used her for our Honeymoon. She recommended Jamaica and it was literally the best time. I can't wait to use her again. She was very responsive and she has a lot of knowledge on places to go. Talk to you soon Jessica!
Mike was so helpful in making our honeymoon perfect! Quick responses and detailed answers!! Thank you!
Jackie - Thank you so much for planning our amazing Maldivian honeymoon for us! We really wouldn't have been able to do it without your help. We had such a fantastic honeymoon thanks to you! Thank you for being there to answer my many questions throughout the process & for making it so stress free for us both. We look forward to working with you on our next adventure!
I worked with Jackie to plan an amazing honeymoon that fit my budget, travel, location and time preferences all while keeping the destination a complete surprise for my wife. It was truly a pleasure working with Jackie! Every question was answered and every detail was planned in order to make this an unforgettable experience and surprise. When my wife and I got to our honeymoon destination, we were absolutely blown away with how perfect everything was and tailored to how we would have preferred it, which was a testament to Jackie's knowledge and truly listening to what we wanted. It was hands down the best vacation of our lives! I would definitely recommend her! She rocks!
I worked with Mike K. to book our wedding in Mexico with both family and friends, about 30 of us in total. He made the planning process like a dream and so easy, I recommend them to anyone looking to book a trip, destination wedding, or honeymoon! Everyone was thrilled with the location, and how easy the trip was thanks to Mike. Next time we take a vacation, I'll definitely be reaching back out to Mike to work with him. If you're still thinking about using them, stop thinking and just do it... you'll be so glad you did!

Desiree and her team planned an absolutely AMAZING 12-day honeymoon for us to Oahu and Maui, Hawaii. Desiree was the best from the word go, answering all our questions and molding our honeymoon into the perfect, magical, romantic experience. We especially loved that Desiree arranged for us so have a car in Maui so we could explore the beautiful island! We can't thank Desiree and her team enough for creating such a fantastic trip for us; it was a dream. Thanks, Desiree!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We LOVE what we do and working with people like you makes it even better. CONGRATULATIONS!!
Karen Baker was absolutely phenomenal. She made everything so easy for us with the entire wedding planning process!
Jessica is the best! She was so professional, knowledgeable and quick to reply to any questions I had. Her recommendations and advice were just what we needed to enjoy a stress free and wonderful honeymoon in Jamaica at Hyatt Zilara
Response from the Vendor on 11/06/2018
Tara--you are the best! It was so wonderful to work with you, and I look forward to planning your future vacations!
All the best, Jessica
Desiree is amazing!!!! We cannot thank her enough. She recommended Regency La Toc Sandals Resort in Saint Lucia. We were blown away!!! The people there are so friendly and happy, its impossible to be in a bad mood. The food and views were to die for. She gave me soooo many helpful tips before we went and even gave us her contact info in case we needed her for anything during our trip. She answered all of my questions quickly and we will be using her to plan our next Sandals vacation :)
We booked our honeymoon through Jessica Pressler with Blissful Honeymoons and Destination Weddings and it was great! She was so easy to work with and got us the honeymoon we wanted! We will definitely use her again!
Response from the Vendor on 10/10/2018
Hi Amy! I'm so glad you had the honeymoon of your dreams in the Bahamas! You were so easy and kind to work with...I look forward to working with you again the the near future!
All the best,
Jessica Pressler
Jessica Pressler planned our honeymoon and she was amazing! She was organized and super helpful! We didn't have to worry about the stress of planning, she planned it all wonderfully! She was a great communictor and lead us in the right path with exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon! We had a fantasitc, stress free time thanks to all of her planning and organization up front! Jessica was wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone!
Response from the Vendor on 09/23/2018
Kelci, it was such a pleasure working with you on your dream honeymoon! I'm so glad you had an amazing time in paradise! I look forward to working with you again on future vacations!
All the best,
Jessica
Jessica Pressler was our travel agent and we absolutely LOVED her! She was so easy to work with and incredibly helpful. She listened to what we were looking for and planned our perfect honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Planning a wedding is so time-consuming so it was nice to not have to worry about planning a honeymoon at the same time. Jessica took care of every single detail and was extremely organized. A couple of weeks before the wedding, she printed out every document that we needed and helpful instructions/tips that made our trip stress-free and truly enjoyable. I would highly recommend her services!
Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2018
Bridget, you and Will were so easy to work with! It was a pleasure planning your dream honeymoon. I'm so glad you had an amazing time in Cabo. I look forward to planning your future vacations and anniversary trips!
All the best,
Jessica
Jessica was awesome! I sent her our budget, said we like the ocean, and told her we wanted to be gone for two weeks. She took that information and found us a wonderful honeymoon spot at a great price (Secrets in Montego Bay)! I never even spoke to her over the phone, everything was done through email. The only time I did have to call her was the day before we left - the concierge told us our flight was canceled! I called Jessica and she got back to me within a matter of minutes with our updated flight information. Everything was perfect!
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2018
It was a pleasure working with you, Sarah! I'm so glad you enjoyed Secrets St. James as much as I did! I was happy to help with your flight...that's what I'm here for! Looking forward to planning trips to come for you!
All the best,
Jessica
Tammy did a wonderful job helping us find the perfect destination within our price range. She was the only travel agent around that was able to find us a good deal! She did not send us anything that was way over our budget and she was so quick to reply to all of my emails. I would highly recommend Tammy to help you plan your honeymoon!
Response from the Vendor on 07/21/2018
Thank you Jasmin, for allowing me to help you plan your honeymoon! I know this is a very exciting time and I hope it is all you wished for. It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to helping you plan your next trip!
We worked with Shannon at Blissful Honeymoons to plan our wedding in Punta Cana this past April - she was AWESOME! We had 70 guests (and some last minute additions/changes) and she helped make sure everything went seamlessly. The travel went smoothly and the wedding was perfect - all thanks to Shannon! Definitely plan to go back for future honeymoon/vacation plans!
We had a great experience working with Blissful Honeymoons to book our honeymoon this past week. We worked with Jessica Pressler and she was extremely responsive to any request/questions we had. Originally we wanted to plan a trip in the September/October timeframe and last-minute (2 weeks before) decided we wanted to take a Honeymoon right away. She immediately sent us 9 options within our budget and we were booked within a few days. The travel plans were seamless and the resort was great. Definitely recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2018
Hi Brittany, I'm so happy that you had a great experience working with me. It sounds like your honeymoon was super relaxing! I look forward to working with you again on future vacations!
All the best,
Jessica
Mike planned our trip to Punta Cana recently and things could not have gone more smoothly. Every step of the way things were taken care of for us. We will use Mike again to plan our future travel!! It was stress-free!
Jackie was amazing! Seriously, our honeymoon in Mexico at UNICO was absolutely perfect. It was everything we could have wanted and more. I can't wait to work with her again on another trip :)
Response from the Vendor on 04/26/2018
I am so glad to hear you loved your Honeymoon. Unico is one of my favorites! I look forward to working with you again as well! CHEERS!
I was disappointed with Jackie. We had a very specific budget and wanted something other than a beach wedding. I received flat out NO's to multiple locations and she didn't even attempt to show me things in our budget. On the positive side, she gave me as much information as possible on the locations she wanted us to consider...but it just wasn't right for us.
Response from the Vendor on 04/09/2018
I am so very sorry to hear your experience with us did not meet your expectations. I strive to be very respectful of the budgets my clients provide and do my best to stay as close as possible. I would only say "NO" if the destination was one I...
deemed unsafe, out of your budget, or one that our company was not actively selling. I do my best to match your wants and desires with your budget. Please feel free to reach out to me so I can know who you are and can address any questions or concerns you may have. I sincerely hope you find exactly what you are looking for.
We got back from our honeymoon in the Dominican Republic about a week ago. Just wanted to say we had an incredible time and loved the resort (Excellence El Carmen)!! Thank you so much for all your help in planning and finding a resort that was right for us. Everything went so smoothly with airplanes, transportation to and from the resort and the resort itself. We had an icredible time! Thank you so much for everything! We truly appreciate it.

Mike did an excellent job setting up our honeymoon to El Dorado Royale! It was an unforgettable experience and we look forward to continuing to work with Mike on anniversaries and other vacations!
WOW! What an experience. Curtis at Blissful Honeymoons guided us to paradise to celebrate our belated 25th anniversary trip. El Dorado Maroma Beach was an excellent suggestion and the service that we received leading up to the trip, and during the trip was exceptional! We have used other travel partners over the years and this was by far the best service we have received. Thank you Blissful Honeymoons for the amazing experience!
Donna was the best! She helped us plan and book our dream honeymoon which made everything so effortless for us. She really listens to what you want and tailors the honeymoon to your needs. Mike and Haley
I would highly recommend Jessica! She made planning our honeymoon so easy and kept us in the loop every step of the way. When picking out a resort, she gave us lots of options within our budget and went above and beyond researching each property. At our resort she pulled some strings to get us a honeymoon welcome banner, champagne, fruit, rose pedals on our bed, and a private transfer. We felt special at every part of the trip! I can't wait to book our next trip with Jessica because I know every detail will be thought about.
Response from the Vendor on 12/30/2017
Thanks for the kind review, Laura! It was a pleasure working with you and Tim. You are the cutest couple ever! I wish you many years of happiness and travel! I look forward to planning future family and anniversary trips for you.
All the best,...
Jessica
Curtis was very helpful in providing our cruise options for our trip to Hawaii to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We had a fabulous time and would gladly use his services again! Thanks Curtis!!
From start to finish Mike and Curtis were UNBELIEVABLE!! Great communication and always available for help, fast responses to all questions, help settle our nerves of traveling out of the country for the first time. Our honeymoon was one that we'll cherish forever and it was thanks to the professionalism and knowledge of Mike and Curtis. We will DEFINITELY be using them in the future!
Jessica was amazing! She helped us switch our plans at the last minute due to hurricanes in the Caribbean to Ireland, and it was the most amazing trip!
Response from the Vendor on 12/30/2017
I was happy to switch your honeymoon to Ireland to avoid the hurricane damage, Kelsey! Your pictures in the green, Irish countryside looked magical! I look forward to planning future trips for you and Adam. We can get you to the Caribbean for a...
future anniversary trip.
All the best,
Jessica
Mike Karstens did a fantastic job helping me navigate the process of planning a destination wedding. I had never left the country so we were starting from square one. Mike kept in touch with me for over a year leading up to the day, and answered all questions along the way. We traveled with over 40 people who all made it there and back in one piece! He helped us pick a great resort, where we celebrated the perfect day with friends and family. Highly recommend talking to Mike if you need help planning a destination wedding or honeymoon! =)
We could not be happier with Jackie and how our Honeymoon went! She had literally everything we needed prepared for us. She was wonderful with communication and answered all of our questions. We felt so prepared, and couldn't thank her enough.
Curtis Rapue did a great job helping us find the perfect all inclusive beach get away for our honeymoon. We ended up selecting Excellence Playa Mujeres, an adult only all inclusive resort with a private beach. It was AMAZING, we did not want to leave. Curtis made it so easy for us, as he arranged our hotel stay, transportation and airfare. We did not have to worry about anything other than following his instructions and enjoying our honeymoon. It made for a stress free, relaxing, and romantic time. Curtis worked with the hotel to get us a room upgrade to a pool swim up room, which was no more than 20 yards from the beach. He also got us upgraded to the hotels "excellence club" which gave us access to private pools, upgraded food and amenities, as well as a private bed on the beach for us to use each day. Our stay at this resort was amazing and we are already talking about when can we go back. I'd highly suggest using Curtis to ensure a safe, well planned, relaxing, beautiful honeymoon!
My husband Austin and I just returned from our honeymoon to Unico 20 87 and I just wanted to reach out to tell you we had the BEST time! Thank you so much for recommending that resort. We would have never found it without your help. The food was incredible and the service and pools were amazing. Thank you so much for connecting us to it!
Hi Jackie!
We are back from paradise and are already wanting to go back! Everything was amazing at the resort---the people, the service, the food, the wedding team, our butler...everything--AMAZING! We had a blast and would not have changed a thing!! Our wedding was AWESOME and everything we had hoped for!!
Just wanted to send you a quick thank you note for all of your help and for recommending this place. We LOVED it!! THANK YOU!! :)
Jackie,
Adam and I want to thank you for planning our honeymoon. We had such a wonderful time, and the resort was absolutely incredible. We also want to thank you for setting us up with Club MoBay. That was amazing to have when getting in Jamaica.
Thank you again for planning a fantastic honeymoon for Adam and I.
Hi Jackie!!
We received your lovely gift yesterday and cannot thank you enough! Truly everything you have done and organized has been a blessing and made things so much easier for us. We were lucky to come across your business and will share with anyone we know who is looking. I'm sure we will be in touch the next two weeks but from the bottom of our hearts.. THANK YOU!
Jackie was so quick and planned our last minute honeymoon with ease! She responding very quickly and explained things thoroughly and made the whole process super painless! 10/10 would recommend to all my friends and family and we will be using her again for our next getaway! Thank you - Bradley R
We traveled with a group for a destination wedding who used Mina as their agent. She was fantastic to work with even as a guest of the wedding! She was knowledgeable and quick to respond to my emails during booking, before travel, and even while we were onsite at the resort. So if you are planning a destination you can trust that your guests will be pleased with her services as well!
Mina was amazing! She helped make our honeymoon planning a breeze! We stayed at the El Dorado Royal, and even though we were outside of their "honeymoon package" time frame, the resort still treated us with extra perks! We had a cheese tray delivered to our room and sparkling wine a few times! Mina upgraded us to a swim up suite and it was amazing! She even had us booked in the seats right behind first class on both flights (Loved the extra leg room)! We will definitely be calling Mina next time we plan a trip!
Mina has set up 2 trips for us, 1 in the past(honeymoon) and 1 coming up just for fun. she is amazing. any issues we had she took care of so we could enjoy our vacation. She found us a great deal and with a little prodding from my wife and friends we are going back to mexico.
thanks Mina!
Everything was amazing, from the ground transportation at the airport, to the welcoming at the resort. Thank you for making it a seamless process.
We worked with Jackie to book our destination wedding. She was very helpfully us and our guests.
Karen at Blissful honeymoons was amazing from start to finish. Right away, she wanted to know about us as a couple and what we were looking for in a honeymoon. She sent us two amazing options and we ended up booking a once in a lifetime trip to Australia and Fiji. We had an amazing hotel overlooking the Sydney Harbor and a picture perfect beachfront hut in Fiji.
Karen's service didn't end at booking! She checked in with us many times leading up to the trip and answered all of our questions. When a mechanical delay resulted in a missed connection at the beginning of our trip, we were pretty devastated. We called Karen at 2 AM and she wasted no time getting our travel arrangements adjusted. She helped us every step of the way.
After the trip, Karen handled our travel insurance claim and followed up with them until we were reimbursed for our missed time. I couldn't believe she took care of everything for us. She went above and beyond what I ever expected a travel agent to do.
My wife and I had Jackie Waechter help us plan and book our honeymoon, and we couldn't be more grateful for everything she did for us. Not only was the booking process seamless, but she was there every step of the way to help if anything went awry. When the booking agent that Jackie works with charged my card a second time for the honeymoon, she contacted them instantly to get everything settled. Now this would be expected of a travel agent, but where Jackie went above and beyond was when our flight from Houston to Montego Bay got delayed 7 hours and was on the verge of being cancelled. I emailed Jackie right before she was getting off work to let her know of the delays and she gave me her personal cell phone number so we would be able to contact her when our flight was finally taking off and when we landed (at 11 PM CST) so she could let Club Mobay know about the delays. It was very apparent that she truly cared about us having a wonderful, stressful honeymoon. We are very appreciative for everything she did for us and will definitely be using these guys again and will be recommending them to anyone looking to travel!
Response from the Vendor on 08/09/2016
Thank you for allowing me to help plan this special trip. It was my pleasure working with you and was so happy that you made it the same day! I'll look forward to hearing from you soon for the next trip!
Karen was extremely helpful in narrowing down our choices for honeymoon and very knowledgeable about accommodations in the Caribbean. We had an amazing honeymoon and it was very reassuring knowing we had someone in the US who we could contact if anything went wrong (which it didn't!). I would definitely suggest Karen to any couple looking to plan the honeymoon of their dreams!
Jackie was very helpful in planning our honeymoon! We met her at a bridal show and met in person once and the rest of the booking process was over email. She was great!
We went to Couples Swept Away under her recommendation and it was AMAZING!!
Jackie and Team,
First of all I want you all to know that my husband and I appreciate everything you did for our friends and family to make our trip arrangements change from Los Cabo to Cancun in such a short amount of time. Secondly, I want you all to know that every single person approached me several times during the trip to thank me for bringing them to such a beautiful resort. And finally I personally want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart because you made my wedding day/experience beyond what I even could have dreamed of. I can honestly say that it was truly the best day of my life. I will never be able to thank you all enough but believe me I am singing your praises and promoting Blissful Honeymoons to every single person I know. I will send some pictures when I get a chance!! See you Saturday Jackie, everyone is thrilled to thank you in person for playing a huge part in making our wedding a HUGE SUCCESS!!
With Thanks!
Kayla
I got Jackie's card from a friend who recently used her company to book his honeymoon. I didn't really know what to expect, but found that it was very easy to inquire about possible destinations, and before I knew it Jackie had several possibilities all within my price range. She only recommends places that she has been, so she knows what works and what doesn't. It was especially nice to have Jackie on our side when our first choice resort announced that it was closing just a few months out from our trip. Jackie handled all flight changes and got us upgraded at no extra charge. Her website revealed that there is no extra charge for using her services, as she is reimbursed by the resorts for providing customers. Coming from someone who is not the best trip planner, it was awesome having Jackie to handle all the small details.
Jackie was the agent I worked with. She was very patient with me as we tried to figure out what would be the best honeymoon for us. I felt we kind of drug her in many different directions and she was kind and helpful the entire time. We were looking for something specific and she really fought to find us what we wanted.
We looked at a million ways to do a honeymoon registry, and I didnt trust most of them. Jackie W with All about Honeymoons made it easy. She met with us in person, explained everything, answered all of my questions, and viola! We are headed to Hawaii! I highly recommend this service!
The honeymoon was awesome and the accommodations we received were great as well. We really appreciate our representative.
We haven't actually taken our honeymoon yet but it is all booked and I'm so excited!! Jackie is so awesome to work with and does all of the work for you! All-inclusive resorts ar the way to go!!!
Stefanie was amazing. I tried multiple travel agents before her, and they all gave me options that were not appealing and did not have all of the amenities we were looking for. I tried to find deals online by myself, but it was just overhwelming and you had to worry about travel from hotel to airport and trying to add honeymoon packages, etc. So, when I come in contact with Stefanie, she asked me all of our preferences and our price range, and what we were ultimately looking for in a honeymoon destination. She gave us a few options and within days we found the perfect place. She made sure we had our honeymoon package, the preferred club we wanted, travel from the airport/resort, and our travel insurance (that is sooo worth it by the way!). She was always there to help and usually answered her email within the same day I sent mine. When the time got closer for us to travel, we heard of hurricanes near our destination, and she kept in contact with us and kept an eye on the weather to make sure it would be safe for us to go. Ultimately, we got to decide if we wanted to change dates- free of charge because of our insurance- or stay the same date. We went for it and it was absolutely amazing!! The honeymoon was perfect, the food was amazing, the transportation was all done for us and we had nothing to worry about other than keeping our drinks filled. We suggest her to everyone who is even traveling, and we plan on using her again!! Best travel agent who gave us the most bang for our buck!
This was the easiest part of the wedding. We just contacted them and told them where we wanted to go and how much we were willing to spend and they took care of the rest.
