ell. I am amazed at how above and beyond she went for us.
She was able to book our entire family and wedding party rooms, transportation, and coordinate dinner services so we would all sit together every night. This was a big ask for a party of over 50 people. She also worked closely alongside the on board coordinator to make sure every detail of our wedding was perfect. From embarkation, to our ceremony, and the reception, she made everyone feel comfortable and confident with every step of the way.
I could not be more grateful with how amazing our trip was and I have Melissa to thank for it. She made our special day so magical!
