I have only great things to say about Gretchen! She worked with us to plan the perfect trip. She made all of the arrangements at luxury hotels, helped book our tours, rental car, ferry tickets, and airfare. She was responsive and very kind. The trip was amazing, and thanks to her thoughtfulness, all of the hotels gave us wonderful welcomes or free perks for our honeymoon. The whole trip was stress-free and lovely until the last day, when we missed our connecting flight home. Even though it was 5:00 in the morning in California, Gretchen got on the phone and started working to find us a new flight home and hotel for the evening. I can’t express how much we appreciated her support, as it made a stressful situation so much easier. Truly exceptional customer service. We would definitely book with her again, and would recommend her to anyone interested in truly special trip.

o making your trip memorable and stress-free. Her attention to detail and dedication to client service, especially in handling unexpected travel hiccups, really showcases the level of care and professionalism that sets apart a truly special trip planning service. It's clear that her efforts to create a seamless and enjoyable travel experience have been deeply appreciated.
The high praise for her responsiveness and the ability to manage situations promptly, regardless of the time difference, is a testament to the commitment to customer satisfaction. It's wonderful to know that you would consider booking with her again and are willing to recommend her services to others.
Thank you for sharing your experience, and may your future travels be just as exceptional and stress-free.

Jim was incredible, he was patient, informative, and was always looking out for our best interests. Our honeymoon was amazing and we couldn't have pulled it off without all of his help. He was pivotal in pulling off the secret beach dinner that I had planned and booking all of our excursions and transportation. The only thing that I would urge customers to do is to look into the rewards programs of the resorts that you are staying at and see if they have any special promotions. We missed out on a pretty big promo while doing all of the wedding planning and missed out on an extra free three days at the Intercontinental Thassalo Spa in Bora Bora (they had a promo running with using their credit card and earning points, and the Thassalo Spa earned a ton of points). All in all I would recommend using Perfect Honeymoons 100% and would love to work with them again in the future.

m. His dedication to ensuring everything from the secret beach dinner to the excursions and transportation were well-organized truly reflects the high-touch service commitment. Your feedback regarding the rewards programs is also incredibly valuable. It’s a great reminder for future travelers to explore all possible promotions to enhance their experience further.
Your endorsement is greatly appreciated, and the sentiment of looking forward to working together again is surely mutual. Thank you for choosing Perfect Honeymoons and for taking the time to share your thoughts. Your adventures ahead are sure to be just as remarkable!
Best Wishes,

We were very disappointed when Gretchen took 3. 5 weeks after our initial phone call (when we provided our credit card authorization) to provide an itinerary that she had promised to send within a week. The itinerary included no dates or flights, and we emailed twice with no response and called before receiving it. She claimed to have emailed us within a week (wouldn’t you have forwarded the email to demonstrate the time stamp, if it were your client? ) and bizarrely claimed that flights had been included in the email. To top it all off, she texted us at 10:00 pm to inform us she sent the (very short) email. We were surprised to have such serious honesty and integrity issues after such a nice initial phone call. We’ll now be booking our honeymoon quite late at a time when flights are much more expensive.

We had an absolutely fantastic honeymoon, thanks to Jim and Perfect Honeymoons!
Our initial consultation with Jim helped narrow down the destinations- he gave us some very helpful recommendations not only in terms of where to stay/order of cities, but also things like should we rent a car, how many activities should we plan, etc. We would have been clueless without him and he also had some "off-the beaten path" ideas and suggestions to make our experience totally unique. We were able to use an app to see our plans, hotel stays, and flights- super easy!
The hotels were exactly what we were looking for and the level of service and attention (being a client of Jim's) made each stay incredibly special.
Jim's planning and attention to detail also ensured our travel between cities was smooth and logistics were all taken care of. This was huge given we didn't speak the language, hadn't travelled to the cities before and were going to 4 different destinations.
Jim and Perfect Honeymoons have our highest recommendation, and we hope to work with him again!

Jim is the best travel agent ever! We wanted to make sure we had an expert giving us advice and booking our trip so we wouldn't miss out on a thing. Jim is definitely that person! He let us know what to expect before we left, checked in with us once we arrived and sent us some amazing perks like a bottle of champagne and a romantic breakfast for two! We felt very taken care of thanks to Jim! We highly recommend him and definitely plan on using his services again.

Perfect Honeymoons helped us plan an amazing 2 week trip to Hawaii. Their name suits them well ...because everything was truly perfect!! It was so nice not to stress about the details, because it was all taken care of. Each island (we went to 3) was so different, and Jim helped with recommendations for excursions and restaurants. The helicopter and snorkel/sail were among our favorites. All the special treats and extra amenities along the way made us feel so loved and taken care of. Our honeymoon was a dream come true!

Jim and Perfect Honeymoons took the stress out of booking hotels and finding quality tours in a foreign country. We already had an idea of where we wanted to go and Jim helped refine our itenerary. We both work more than full-time hours so the extra help planning the honeymoon was definitely worth hiring this company. Our honeymoon was exactly what we envisioned!

Jim was amazing! He was very straight forward and gave us the advice we needed to decide the perfect honeymoon for us - the Hawaiian Islands. Jim answered all of our questions and communicated clearly with us. He was very knowledgeable about our destination and gave us some great recommendations on places to eat and activities to do. Because of Jim, we were able to focus on the two of us and our special day. Perfect Honeymoons took away a lot of unneeded stress during the wedding planning process, you will not regret their services! Thank you, Jim!

Jim was amazing -- he took the time to get to know us and our travels preferences, and to understand what we wanted out of a honeymoon. There was no detail too small, no piece of the trip left out of the planning process. He took all the guess work out of it and made sure the entire experience was flawless.

Jim and Perfect Honeymoons were referred to me by my matron of honor that had used them for her amazing honeymoon a couple years prior. My now husband and I had a few ideas of what we were looking for in a honeymoon but were having trouble trying to decide. Through a Facetime call with Jim and his expertise and advice we landed on Croatia. From that moment on all we had to do was countdown to April and figure out what we were going to pack.
We had discussed that we wanted a blend of activities and downtime. We wanted to be able to be tourists but also experience the local lifestyle. From our conversation Jim put together such an incredible itinerary that we actually didn't change a thing! After a year of planning every detail of our wedding weekend we didn't want to have to plan anything for the honeymoon.
Perfect Honeymoons took care of everything! We were treated like first class travelers with private luxury transportation, stunning and unique hotels, private tours, and reservations at the best local restaurants. All we had to do was enjoy ourselves as we explored Croatia on our amazing adventure to begin our married lives.
I would highly recommend Perfect Honeymoons to anyone!

We had 2 weeks of vacation on the table to take for our honeymoon. We wanted to have a trip of a lifetime. The problems, narrowing down a location and taking the time to research all of the things (transportation, accommodation, sights, etc.). Insert Jim who with, basically, one conversation and a questionnaire planned our entire trip. I had plenty of input but I really felt comfortable with the direction Jim seemed to be taking us. And let me tell you, from idea to execution, he set us up! We, truly, had a trip that far exceeded anything we could have planned on our own. Thanks Jim! We are singing your praises.

My wife and I were beyond satisfied with Perfect Honeymoons. Jim was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the first introductory meeting via Skype to our final check-in before the trip, Jim was professional, courteous, kind, and funny. He planned the perfect honeymoon for us. He really listened during our interview and planned the trip to suit our needs and wants PERFECTLY. Our trip to Greece and Italy couldn’t have been as perfect as it was if it weren’t for the meticulous planning from Jim. We barely even had to think of logistics, everything was perfectly laid out for us in a smartphone app. When our flight was delayed, Jim swiftly changed things around to make sure when we arrived our driver would be there. He was extremely responsive during the trip as we did have a few questions. We’ll be recommending Jim to all of our friends and family for ANY trip their planning. Jim’s services are worth every penny (and it is extremely reasonable). Thank you again for everything Jim!
Until the next trip!

Jim is awesome. The hour-long call prior to his development of the itinerary was clearly time well spent, because he knew exactly the kinds of activities and hotels we would enjoy. I'm not afraid to admit we had some lofty expectations and he exceeded every single one. All the little details were perfect, and he must have good relationships with the hotels, because the service we received was top notch. He was in touch on the one day that weather caused a snag in our travels, and found some alternatives for us(the time difference was 12 hours, so this was no small thing).
Perfect Honeymoons is an outstanding service and we couldn't recommend it more.

Planning a honeymoon in addition to planning a wedding and working was very overwhelming and we wanted to enjoy this fun and exciting time of our lives without the stress. We had never used a travel agent before, but for our honeymoon we wanted some help. Gretchen was our agent and she was beyond amazing. Her understanding and passion and her love for travel is something unique and special and really made the honeymoon planning process so interesting and fun. We started working with Gretchen when we were not 100% sure where we wanted to go, and Gretchen was incredibly patient and lead us to our perfect honeymoon. Gretchen started off by helping understand what previous travel experiences we had, what we liked/didn’t like to try to help us narrow down some choices. Once we narrowed down some choices, she shared detailed explanations of what our honeymoon would look like and feel like in those specific places and we assessed what the pros and cons would be (without any pressure whatsoever from Gretchen). We finally we picked Tahiti!
Gretchen helped keep us on track throughout the whole planning process and was even super knowledgeable with helping us figure out how we could apply our points throughout the honeymoon (flights, hotels, etc.). Our entire honeymoon was an absolute dream come true and stress free from start to finish. Gretchen understood our expectations and created a memorable, unique, and relaxing honeymoon. We were treated like first class guests and unexpectedly upgraded at places because we worked with Gretchen. Planning a wedding is a huge task....don't also plan your honeymoon. Have Gretchen do it, she is truly the best and we are already working with Gretchen a month back from our honeymoon on our next trip!

Perfect Honeymoons truly planned just that. Our ten-day trip was packed with both relaxing and fun-filled adventures to help us see the best of each Hawaiian island we stopped at. The process was easy and removed all worry of our trip - including last minute changes. Jim is top-notch and planned the best itinerary for a newlywed couple just two days post-wedding. We will absolutely be planning future trips with Perfect Honeymoons! Thanks so much for everything - you have given us incredible memories to start our lives together.

We decided to go to Walt Disney World for a Graduation. Gretchen worked so hard for us getting us everything that we wanted, and planning and working with family from a different state to make sure we were all there at the same time and stayed in the same location in the hotel. She was always there when we needed her especially when Hurricane Maria hit Florida causing us to postpone our trip. She took care of any issues that we ran into. I recommend Gretchen to anyone looking for a Travel Agent. In my book she is the best. We can’t wait to plan more trips with her!

We decided to save up for a year after the wedding before taking a honeymoon and used Perfect Honeymoons as they were recommended by a co-worker. Steve and Gretchen were so wonderful to work with. I'd never used a travel agency before and found the whole process to be of ease, which speaks volumes to Perfect Honeymoons, their staff, and knowledge of tourism. My husband and I had several locations in mind and Steve graciously looked up and provided details on each location. He was incredibly patient with us as we switched destinations due to the Zika virus and once we selected our final destination Steve was able to make some wonderful recommendations. He also put us in touch with Gretchen, who'd recently returned from visiting Greece. Both Steve and Gretchen were available to us before and during our honeymoon which was a huge plus. Knowing we had communication with our travel agents made the trip even more enjoyable as we could ask questions, voice concerns, ask for recommendations and more.
I can say we will absolutely be using Perfect Honeymoons again and again!

For our honeymoon we had the great opportunity to work with Steve Macknight at Perfect Honeymoons. Steve was beyond amazing. His understanding, his passion and his love for travel are amazing. Steve was able to guide us in the right direction. His knowledge about Tahiti was very helpful to us. He took his time to explain everything to us. He was very patient with us. He was very friendly and professional with us. He understood what we were trying to do. Steve always answers my phone call and on the rare occasion he missed my call he always returned my call in a timely manner. I highly recommended Steve to help anyone plan they honeymoon. You will find in Steve a travel agent that does not push you, but instead work with you to achieve your Honeymoon goal. You will find in Steve a very knowledgeable and passionate travel agent.

Perfect Honeymoons is truly is a perfect honeymoon. Jim understood our expectations and created a memorable, relaxing and easy honeymoon. We stayed in beautiful hotels right in the middle of everything and had excellent service and food. Our flight was comfortable and I even liked the food. We had a mobile app that listed our itinerary and notified us of early check in along with activities and dinner recommendations. Driver's picked us up from each location and we had our ferry tickets couriered which saved us from waiting in long lines. Our rooms were covered in honeymoon bliss and made the already beautiful hotels even more special. My husband and I had the most memorable honeymoon thanks to Jim :) We will be back!

My wife and I had a whirlwind romance and I found myself with just a matter of weeks to plan a mini-moon, vacation with my new in-laws, and a 2+ week honeymoon...all in the same month.
In short: Jim crushed it.
Jim exceeded our already-high-expectations across the board: timely updates, perfectly selected hotels, great advice/recommendations, and with minimal effort on my part.
In addition, Jim booked transfers/activities that were flawless. We covered two (non-English speaking) countries via plane, train, boat, and automobile, and it was seamless. That alone was worth hiring Jim.
Jim is most valuable in (i) selecting the right location/accommodations, (ii) bringing a ton of local knowledge to the table and (iii) taking the stress out of the entire process.
My advice for working with Jim: Tell him exactly what you think you want/what you both enjoy (be as specific as possible), listen to his advice (even when it is contrary to your initial opinion), and let him execute the vision.
Best review I can possibly give: My wife said it was "the perfect trip."

Jim set up the most unbelievable and seamless honeymoon to Greece. We stayed at three hotels/resorts that were unique, fun, and totally our speed. From the first conversation to the actual honeymoon, everything was great. Transportation, hotels, food recommendations--all exactly what we were hoping for! I have been recommending Jim to all of our friends.

We loved working with Jim and his team! The entire process was easy and simple and it was so great knowing that every detail of the trip was taken care of. During the busyness of wedding planning, it was a relief knowing the honeymoon planning was taken care of.

Steve was great when planning this honeymoon. We came to him with a loose idea of what we wanted and he was able to point us in exactly the right direction due to his vast experience! It was great not having to worry about planning every little detail as Steve was able to take care of transportation, excursions, and the actual booking. I would highly recommend Steve and Perfect Honeymoons for their knowledge as well as service!

Gretchen planned our honeymoon to Hawaii. Having never been there before we were overwhelmed thinking about all the details. Gretchen NAILED it. We were amazed by the quality of the resorts we stayed at. She even got us the best room in the Kea Lani resort on Maui. She lined up 4 major activities for us and gave great ideas on other things to do if we had time. Other perks included breakfast being included everyday and champagne delivered to our room. This was the nicest honeymoon we could imagine. Unless you are a seasoned traveler and know exactly where you want to go, I suggest letting these professionals blow you away.
Thank you Gretchen, and the team at Perfect Honeymoons!

Gretchen was amazing! Planning a wedding is overwhelming, stressful, time consuming ... the list goes on. The best decision my husband and I made through the entire experience was getting help in planning our honeymoon!
Gretchen worked with us for quite some time planning our perfect honeymoon in Maui. She was an expert in the area and had all the answers to the million of our questions. We stayed at the Fairmont which was perfect for a 'no kiddo' relaxing time. She planned the flights, car rental, some of our dinner reservations, and three excursions.
I did NOTHING! I said, "yes" or "no" and then magically I had everything mailed to me in a nice package and we were on our way. If something came up, which it never did, I had a number to call to get assistance. If I was freaking out, as I typically do, about something that was out of my power like weather, I could call Gretchen and she would calm me down.
As well, the best part of the service in my opinion, in the case something did come up and we had to move our honeymoon location or date, Perfect Honeymoon would transfer our money and it would all be taken care of. That sort of worry is not something you need when you're already planning a wedding. Perfect Honeymoon did all the work for us.
Love the service, love Gretchen and LOVED my honeymoon. Weeks later I'm still dreaming about drinks poolside.

Jim and Perfect Honeymoons are absolutely fantastic! Jim takes the time to get to know you and your wants, and plans the trip of a lifetime! Jim planned a three week Australia, New Zealand, Fiji Honeymoon for us, and it was perfect from start to finish. All the small details that can be stressful, Jim and his staff handled, leaving you to just relax and enjoy! Would highly recommend Perfect Honeymoons for anyone looking to spend their time enjoying and exploring rather than worrying and planning! Incredible experience and look forward to working with Jim on future trips!

Gretchen was AWESOME! She worked with both my husband and I in helping us plan a dream come true honeymoon in Hawaii! My husband and I are not the easiest to deal with as we can be a little particular but Gretchen was patient, helpful, charismatic, and there for us 100%!! Even when we needed to make last minute changes when we were on our honeymoon due to me getting sick, Gretchen came to the rescue! She did everything and anything she could to help us have an amazing time. She is not just a travel planner, she is like your new best friend! She takes the time to get to know the couple and gets to know what it is exactly that you want out of your vacation from A to Z and then delivers! If you want an unforgettable time, planned by someone who knows the ins and outs of everything, you have to go to Gretchen! We will definitely be using her again for our trips in the future. Thanks Gretchen!!

Jim did an excellent job planning our honeymoon in Tahiti. He was very knowledgeable about all the different activities and found us two amazing resorts on Moorea & Bora Bora. For me the highlight was the ATV tour in Moorea which Jim recommended and signed us up for. Definitely the highlight of my trip and the guide was outstanding. My wife was instantly in love with our over water bungalow in Bora Bora. I can't say enough about Jim's expertise and everyone of his recommendations were spot on. Both my wife and I were so busy leading up to the wedding the last thing we were going to be able to do was plan such an amazing trip, Perfect Honeymoons made everything as simple as possible.

Jim booked our amazing Tahiti honeymoon in June. We were so stressed with wedding planning and after one conversation felt so relieved and trusted his expertise. We honeymooned at the Four Season Bora Bora Resort, and had our private hut on the water. It was a dream. Everything from the flight to dinner reservations were flawless. We can not thank Jim enough and look forward to working with him for our anniversary trips!!

Jim was fantastic every step of the way and planned the most amazing honeymoon for my wife and I. He took a genuine interest in what type of honeymoon we were looking for and tailored everything to our taste. All the way down to recommending specific restaurants (split by casual, formal, etc). We were planning a fairly significant move at the same time as planning our wedding wedding so we gave Jim a lot of freedom to book what he saw fit for us within our budget constraints and he did an absolutely amazing job! We cannot recommend Jim enough!

Jim and the Perfect Honeymoon team are amazing. We went into our first meeting with Jim with a rough idea of what we wanted in mind. With just a few details about our preferences he was able to come up with a plan that was exactly what we were looking for. While Jim did provide his top recommendations, he provided us with a few similar destinations and multiple hotel options so we could pick something that worked into our budget and style.
The fact that Jim and his team have actually been to almost every place imaginable really sets them apart. They can tell you what the sand on each beach is like, how each hotel room is different, and what exactly at each restaurant is the best dish. It is also helpful that Jim knows the owners/managers of all of these places! For the first leg of our trip in Antigua, Jim was able to talk to the owner (a friend of his) to get us a free upgrade to an amazing hillside villa on a last minute request. The staff knew we were with Jim and took note. This continued with our trip to St Bart’s at the Eden Rock, where we were personally greeted by the manager of the resort who had been with Jim recently. He ensured the entire staff knew who we were and get the best treatment possible. Also, we were greeted in our room with a bottle of champagne on the Perfect Honeymoon’s team.
However, just planning a great trip wasn't what the Perfect Honeymoons team was all about. Through each step of the way Jim was able to provide us with fantastic advice and suggestions. He was also extremely helpful when we had any issues, and was available day or night to help us. We couldn’t say enough great things about the Perfect Honeymoon’s team. They were recommended to us by several friends who have had identical experiences, and we plan to use Jim and the team for our next adventure.

Jim was actually referred to us with a RAVE review from a close friend, and he did not disappoint. Jim totally "got" us and planned the most spectacular honeymoon for us, which was the perfect combination of off-the-beaten-path meets luxury. It was exactly what we wanted. He was also incredibly patient when we changed the budget and planned an entirely new itinerary for us. Basically, no matter your budget, style or desires he can still plan the most perfect, unique experience. We will definitely be using Perfect Honeymoons for future trips!

We could not have had a better experience than we did with Jim Augerinos at Perfect Honeymoons. You receive excellent treatment anywhere you go in Bora Bora but when you have Jim at your side, you get treated like royalty! He was able to request the best room/overwater bungalow for us, the best activities, upgrades, champagne, and VIP treatment at Villa Mahana. His recommendations on visiting Rangiroa for scuba diving made our trip! Another highlight of our trip was his recommendation to go on the Keishi Day tour. He is a true specialist when it comes to French Polynesia and you would be making a mistake if you didn't hire his services. We highly recommend Jim to anyone and everyone!

We used Steve from Perfect Honeymoons and were thrilled with our choice! He was easy to talk to, understood with first meeting what kind of trip we were looking for and had great advice as he has been pretty much everywhere, at least it seems. He gave us options to choose from to meet our price range and let us know in detail what would be included in our reservation. He also booked not only our hotels and some excursions but our airfare too which was a huge help as he made sure to give us enough time in between flights. We really lucked out by finding Steve. Since returning from our honeymoon in Moorea and Bora Bora, I have recommended Steve and the company to two different couples I know of that will be getting married next year. If you want your once in a lifetime trip planned perfectly, look no further...use Perfect Honeymoons. We will definitely be using them again for our overseas trips in the future!

My wife and I had the perfect honeymoon in San Diego thanks to Gretchen. I have already recommended Gretchen to several friends and family because she was so responsive, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The Perfect Honeymoons app is the perfect way to store all of the necessary information and an easy way to stay in touch with the travel agent.

Steve really did a great job helping us out on our trip to Venice and Nice. He worked with us until we got exactly what we wanted. They are very easy going and you work at your own leisure.

My wife and I visited Spain with stops in Barcelona, Seville and Madrid. From beginning to end Steve Macknight was on top of every detail! He was able to craft an itinerary that combined adventure, culture and relaxation. The hotel selections were especially impressive. Each time we arrived in a new city we were excited to see what was in store for us. Transportation was arranged to seamlessly take us from one destination to the next. We cant wait to take another trip designed by Steve!

My husband and I decided to use a travel agent to plan our honeymoon, and it was the best decision we could have made. Working with Steve Macknight and Perfect Honeymoons was flawless from the beginning. Steve worked with us on deciding on the perfect destination and within our budget. We chose the Excellence in Playa Mujeres, Mexico. It was absolutely amazing. The service, the food, nothing could be better! Steve really came through when we had to cut our trip short by a day because of a snow storm heading towards the east coast. He was on it immediately, changed our hotel checkout date and flights with no extra charge. We couldn't have been more thankful, as the airport we were to fly into ended up being closed the next day! Highly recommend Steve and Perfect Honeymoons for your next getaway!

My husband and I were referred to Perfect Honeymoons (and Steve Macknight). The entire experience was great! We spoke with Steve a few times via phone and e-mail – he asked us questions about our travel preferences and personality and he provided us with many options and ideas. We planned our honeymoon in Spain and they took care of so many details for us. Although we have both traveled a lot, he was able to provide us with airport recommendations (when we should take a cab or have car service pick us up due to logistics), intra-country travel (plane vs. train), and tour recommendations.
While we were in Spain, we had a few questions, and we e-mailed Steve – he was quick to respond and assist us!
I would highly recommend Perfect Honeymoons and Steve to anyone looking to plan a perfect vacation or honeymoon.

We got connected with Steve to plan our honeymoon. I think the biggest factor in what makes or breaks your experiences with travel agents are how you communicate what you're looking for. steve asked us questions that really allowed us to express what we were looking for in our honeymoon and he talked us through the entire way. we had an amazing time. he was also flexible to our last minute changes and we were extremely grateful for that as well.

I had a pretty bad experience dealing with this company with Jim, the owner. I called his company and was impressed with his knowledge about the area we are going for a honeymoon in Bora Bora. He was quick to respond to my initial request right away and was able to get me a quote within a day or so. I called him because I had been doing the research myself and I was overwhelmed, my fiance and I lost his mother just days prior to us having to make this decision. The quote he sent me seemed a bit out of our budget and I felt like there would be better deals financially. To be fair, it looked wonderful and I'm sure that we would have had a great time and been taken care of had we accepted this quote. Because of our budget we decided to look at a different travel company that could provide a quote that would make is feel like we were getting the most for our money for our honeymoon. I believed it was wise to look around. I found a company I trusted and developed a better relationship with. When we did not accept his quote was when his behavior became unprofessional. His emails we're so uncomfortable and appeared designed to make me feel guilty for all the time he had spent on our quotes, that he had gone out of his way for us, and that his deal was the best option there was for this vacation. He mentioned that he had waived fees and want getting anything for this quote, etc... In addition, we were unable to book a reservation on our own with a different travel agent bc he had reserved 2 hotels under our name without our knowledge or permission. It was a huge headache. It took almost 2 days for him to release the hold and the hotels to process It. During this time It was so stressful that the prices would go up and that our other agent couldn't get in to book us. We had a short engagement and were travelling at a peak time so days matter. I was worried he would not release them bc of his unprofessional attitude. Super stressful. He was rude and disrespecful in our many interactions with him asking him to release the hold.
Unless you know you are going to accept this guys quote. I would not suggest getting one from him. I love the travel agent I chose. It's soooo worth It to me not to feel pressured or bad for making my own choices about our honeymoon. I understand that he wanted our business for the quote and work but sometimes people make other choices.

Gretchen is a ROCK STAR!!! She planed my wife Christine and I the “Perfect” vacation cruise to Alaska. Even though it was our third trip Gretchen planned for us, she treated us as great as she did the first two times. We love her dedication and enthusiasm when it comes to travel. She always took the time to return calls, answer emails and make sure we had everything we needed before we left. We cruised with Celebrity Cruise Line and they were great as well, but it was all of Gretchen’s planning and knowledge about Alaska that made our trip wonderful. I do not have word to explain how happy we are with Gretchen and Perfect Honeymoons and Holidays.

Steve helped us plan a fantastic honeymoon on very short notice. We wanted to take our trip before we moved for my husband's new job, and that deadline was fast approaching! We told him our budget and the style of vacation we wanted, and he booked us the perfect getaway at the right price and within our timeframe, too! He even helped us book excursions and activities. I had never been to an all-inclusive resort before, and the experience was wonderful! I'm so glad we decided to get outside help to plan our honeymoon--I can't imagine what a headache it would have been if we had tried to figure everything out ourselves. Steve's knowledge and experience really made a difference. I'm still amazed we were able to have such a great time within our (pretty tiny) budget. Thank you so much!
