Kara was so great to work with! She came highly recommended and was able to plan our trip with a pretty quick turnaround. She was very open to the feedback we provided based on the list of things and places we wanted to visit. Her communication and attention to detail was great and because of her we were able to enjoy the wedding planning process and not have to also worry about planning our honeymoon on top of that. We can't wait to entrust Kara with our next trip and continue recommending her to our friends and family.

We used Kara to book our honeymoon – she was so wonderful to work with, and we had the most unforgettable honeymoon! She worked with us to understand what both my husband and I we...

re looking for in the trip, and gave us a few different options to choose from. We ended up choosing Madeira, a Portugese island that we were not familiar with before she suggested it to us. Once we chose the location, she helped design and book an amazing itinerary. The hotel she chose for us was outstanding, and every excursion she recommended was flawless. We are so happy we chose Kara to plan our honeymoon – when you plan so much for your wedding, there are no words for how nice it feels to have someone plan such an incredible getaway to celebrate. Thanks Kara!!
