Shared Adventures Travel

My fiance and I had never traveled with the help of a travel advisor in the past. We thought it made sense for our honeymoon and we could not have been happier. Ann was amazing. She planned the perfect vacation for us and thought of truly every detail. The arrangements were all spectacular and the reposefulness, patience and expertise Ann offered to us was amazing! We have already referred friends and will continue to spread her company's name around so others can experience all that she offers!

Ann Petronio was simply amazing!!! My husband and I had the best carefree honeymoon traveling throughout Italy. For our first time in Europe, let along traveling between different areas throughout Italy, Ann made it as seamless as possible. The hotels and activities she had picked for us was exactly what we had hoped for and more! In preparing for our honeymoon, Ann was always very responsive to any questions I had; always within 24 hours, more like within then hour she had responded. Excellent company and an even more excellent Travel Agent. I would highly recommend her for any of your traveling needs!

Ann and Shared Adventures is amazing and my husband and I could not recommend them more for planning Honeymoons (and any vacations really!). This was the first time that we used a travel agent and from our first conversation with Ann - we knew we were working with the right person. At the initial phone call, she made sure to ask what we were thinking for the trip, budget, must haves and what we could be worried about. Afterwards, we got personalized travel documents for various locations that really helped us envision what our Honeymoon in these locations would be like. It got us super excited for the entire process! We finally booked going to the French Polynesian - and it was the trip of a lifetime! I don’t think we could have done it without Ann as she literally put together transportations, accommodations at spectacular hotels and all of our excursions. There was never a moment where we felt like we didn’t know our travel plans (she sent us a lot of amazing info and a final travel document right before we left)! The hotels she booked were magical and we can out of them everyday in awe. During the entire trip and afterwards, my husband and I kept mentioning how we have to work with Ann for all of our future trips. Her dedication and attention to detail were so good and as a nervous traveler it put me at ease!

Since we got married in 2020, we weren't sure when we'd be able to travel and have a proper honeymoon. We wanted our honeymoon to be really special and different than other trips we've taken, so I googled a few travel agencies. I reached out to Ann in 2021 and we decided that 2022 would be the year. Ann helped us narrow down where we wanted to go. She asked us what we wanted out of our honeymoon and activities we'd be interested in. With that, and the budget we had in mind, she gave us a couple of choices and we decided from there. Ann was so helpful in helping us decide and then sent us different proposals. Since we planned so far out, the process was a little bit longer - the airfares and hotel prices weren't out yet. We literally only had to say yes and no to things she suggested. After planning and replanning our wedding because of COVID, it was so nice to leave someone else to do the heavy lifting. Our whole itinerary was sent to us a couple months before our trip. We didn't have to worry about anything. It was probably the best decision we made to work with Ann!

Working with Ann to plan our honeymoon was the best decision. Ann was recommended by a friend who worked with Ann for a honeymoon to Greece. My husband and I had Croatia in mind for ours, so figured she would be a good fit. In our initial call Ann asked us a lot of questions in order to get a better idea of what we would want, whether she had other suggestions for location, etc. I was so impressed with what she thought to ask. After that call, Ann provided a proposed itinerary. We provided some feedback and went back and forth a few times to get to the perfect trip. Ann made it such an easy process and was so quick to respond and make updates. Leading up to the honeymoon Ann provided all documents, resources, and info we would need. The actual honeymoon was also incredible. The hotels were great, the private tours were highlights of our trip, and all transportation was seamless. My husband and I will definitely work with Ann in the future.

Ann helped us with everything from the overwhelming decision of where to go, making sure we get the honeymoon perks, navigating traveling during COVID, having to postpone our travels due to COVID, and navigating our first time facing flight delays. We will absolutely be using Shared Adventures for our next travel!

We found Ann through a friend who had used her to plan their honeymoon. She was extremely responsive throughout the whole planning process. She set up a call to discuss our interests so that she could find resorts and excursions that we'd love. We already had a destination picked, but needed help with everything else. She kept us updated on Covid protocols in the countries we'd be in. Everything she planned for us was incredible. All 3 excursions she booked were fantastic. Our entire honeymoon went off with no issues (which is incredible since travel right now is pretty awful) I highly recommend the Canary Islands for anyone looking for an amazing vacation, and I would give Ann a 10 out of 10.

We’ve never worked with a travel agent before, but we thought that our first time in Europe and our honeymoon was a good time to bring in the professionals. My husband and I worked with Ann to plan our honeymoon in Italy. She listened to everything we had hoped for this trip and made some recommendations as well. Ann came back with a trip proposal that fit us exactly and we were more than excited! When we had to push our wedding out a year due to COVID, Ann made rescheduling everything so easy. She made sure to educate us on travel during the pandemic, and made us feel comfortable doing it. I have never had a more seamless vacation, and will definitely be booking with Ann again. I can’t recommend working with Ann enough, took all the stress of planning a honeymoon away so I could focus on the wedding and then relax with my husband!

My Husband and I had never worked with a travel agent before, but with all the wedding planning we were already doing, we simply could not even imagine planning a 2 week trip to Italy as well. Ann was personally recommended to me from a close friend so we thought "why not?". The MOMENT Ann responded, I knew we had found a gem. From top to bottom Ann made the entire planning process easy, smooth and most importantly (to me), FUN. She listened to what we wanted from a vacation (including budget), had quick turnaround with changes we had requested and stayed in touch with us from day one to once the trip was over. She sent travel notifications to us and kept us very much informed so we were prepared to have the BEST trip ever. I have since recommended her to at least 2 additional people who asked me how I planned such an amazing trip, AND I am trying to work with her on booking a family vacation. I cannot recommend her enough!

Ann Petrino of Shared Adventures Travel was amazing! She took exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon and made it happen! Even areas we were not 100% sure of, she had great recommendations. She helped plan our minimoon to Napa and we had the BEST time and we will def. be using her to plan our big honeymoon overseas in a year!

After being pandemic cancelled 3 times, we finally were able to score the best fall New England day of the year for weddings this year! Once this became more real and solidified (finally!) We were met with major traveling issues with our standing honeymoon we put together. We were not able to enter that country still, at the point of our wedding. (Completely understandable, a la pandemic) Enter Ann and Shared Adventures Travel. Our fantastic wedding reception coordinator recommended Ann to us and we couldn't have been more happy and relieved. Ann created an entire 2 week honeymoon to Greece for us in LESS than 3 months. She understood our budget, style and needs as a couple and set us up to feel like a citizen of Greece. Everyone and every experience in Greece was absolutely incredible. October turned out to be a great month to go the the Mediterranean weather wise, which only added to our incredible honeymoon. We honestly loved it so much, we were making plans to stay permanently! Ann and Shared Adventures.....thank you so much for creating our honeymoon from scratch with us, and impressively, in no time at all. We can't wait to book our next trip with you!

Ann organized a wonderful honeymoon for us in late 2021! Historically, we have not used a travel agent to plan vacations. However, when I started planning our honeymoon earlier this year, I struggled. Organizing a vacation during COVID was a challenge, and I had a hard time gauging where we could travel and when we could safely arrive at our destination given the layers of restrictions. Moreover, we were (of course) planning a wedding! So, I didn’t have the time I normally did to make all the detailed plans. I found Ann on The Knot and am so glad I gave her a call. She specializes in honeymoon travel and planned our whole vacation from start to finish. I really trusted her recommendations and she made excellent bookings for us. The trip was amazing and there were so many times where we said, "Thank god for Ann!" or "This was a great recommendation from Ann!" She helped us book the most amazing, romantic hotels, tours, and transfers that I could have never done on my own. I also truly do not think I could have managed all the COVID materials, research, and documentation without her. I am so happy we had her book this trip for us and us so look forward to doing it again! I would recommend her to anyone!

So happy we met Ann. She helped to make our honeymoon perfect. With her guidance we were able to select the perfect destination for us. We were between places and Ann with her expertise and knowledge helped us figure out the perfect spot. She told care of everything and we had nothing to do besides show up! I can’t wait to use her services again!

Ann was amazing!! We were one of the many unfortunate couples that had to postpone our wedding and honeymoon, but Ann helped us through it all. We originally booked Italy and Greece in 2020 and when we had to cancel, she was on it right away to be refunded! Once we were ready to rebook a honeymoon we decided on Turks and Caicos. Our flight was canceled a week before and Ann handled it all, I did not need to worry about a thing. The resort she recommend for us was amazing and the entire honeymoon was perfect! We will most definitely be using her again in the future!

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all of your help in planning our honeymoon to Atelier Playa Mujeres. We had an amazing time. I really appreciated working with you! You were so kind and so helpful. You were also a confident and reassuring voice through all of the changes we made to our itinerary (due to the pandemic and switching our plans from Italy/Spain to Mexico, my uncertainty about seaweed in Riviera Maya, switching to Playa Mujeres, etc etc.) You always responded so quickly and with a solution - and that definitely helped to ease my mind! Atelier was absolutely stunning! Aside from being brand new and extremely clean, the architecture and design was something out of a dream! Without a doubt, the nicest and most luxurious place we have ever been (and many couples at the resort shared this sentiment with us!). The staff was incredible - you really couldn't sit in a pool or beach chair for more than three minutes before someone was by your side to see what you needed. They hustled and treated us like royalty. The beach was beautiful and seaweed was a non-issue! 😊The food options were versatile and nothing disappointed us. We would highly recommend this resort to other travelers, especially couples and honeymooners.

Ann did an amazing job planning and coordinating our honeymoon to South Africa! We had never worked with a travel agent before and now I don't think we will plan another trip without her! She made the process extremely easy for us, clearly explained options and was always quick to respond. She speaks from experience as she has personally traveled to many of the destinations she recommends and will be honest with you. We totally trusted Ann and felt we were in good hands the entire time. For example, with traveling internationally, we were notified of a flight cancellation due to COVID... we were able to continue enjoying our trip while Ann rearranged flights for us. It was super helpful to know she had our backs and the situation did not take away from our honeymoon. We would recommend using Ann's services in a heartbeat to plan your next special trip!!

If it wasn't for Anne, we wouldn't have been able to make it on our honeymoon! We started working with Annies escapes in December 2019 (pre-Covid) and after a phone call going over what we wanted in a resort, price and length she then sent us a few options with a little write up about each. We were able to narrow down from there which resort was best for us. We have traveled yearly to the Caribbean for the past several years but decided to use a travel agent as it was our honeymoon and we figured we would have a lot on our plate planning a wedding. Obviously, covid put a damper on things so our wedding turned into an elopement with the hope for a bigger wedding in the future. Anne was there every step of the way, updating us on our countries new and upcoming covid policies and what we needed to bring and prepare for prior to the trip. We experienced quite a few flight changes due to the decreased amount of flights in and out of the country. Anne was there every step of the way, updating us with changes, giving us options when flights resulted in loss of days in paradise, etc. We even dealt with flight cancellations on our travel day and Anne kept us updated, making sure the rest of our flights would get us to our destination. The day after we arrived in Jamaica, she sent us a bottle of champagne to our room! We couldn't imagine booking or traveling without Annies Escpaes in the future, especially if you ever have to travel during a pandemic!

Booking with Annie's Escapes is a MUST! This was our first experience with a travel agent, and we worked with Ann to customize a 12-day honeymoon trip to four different Italian destinations (Sorrento, Rome, Florence, and Venice) last summer (2019). Ann was very friendly and listened to our preferences for the kind of trip we wanted to take and successfully helped us brainstorm activities and places that we would like. We had a very limited window when we were in Rhode Island, and she was willing to meet with us on a snowy day when her office was closed. As for the actual trip, Ann provided us with a very detailed itinerary for each day, complete with any info we needed for catching trains, checking into hotels, and meeting up for tours. It's apparently very difficult to travel with luggage from the Naples airport to Sorrento (which Ann knew), so she booked a private driver to transport us both ways. She booked excellent tours such as a walking one of Capri that enabled a thorough and dynamic experience of the island (including a trip to the famous Blue Grotto) as well as an all-day bus tour of Tuscany complete with lunch prepared at a family-owned farm and winery and visiting the 14th-century town of San Gimignano to eat world award-winning gelato (I recommend Fior de latte!). These were true highlights of our vacation, and we would not even know about them without working with Ann.

We chose to elope in Vegas and plan an epic honeymoon instead of a traditional wedding. I work in the events industry and plan many events throughout the year so planning a wedding and honeymoon sounded like work to me. Booking with Annie's Escapes was a nobrainer for us! Ann takes the stress, confusion, and uncertainty out of the entire planning process. We had peace of mind the entire time because we trusted her judgement and knowledge of travel. Not once did we question making the right choices about our honeymoon. We cannot recommend her enough! We have been back from Moorea and Tahiti for less than two weeks and have already told two different family members and a close friend they HAVE to reach out to Annie's Escapes for help with their trips. Trust us, you are in GREAT hands!

Ann was fantastic! We reached out to her on short notice about our honeymoon, but in a matter of days, she got to know us as a couple, listened closely to what we wanted and presented a variety of great options to us within our budget. We chose Mallorca and Barcelona, Spain, where Ann booked us fabulous resorts/hotels and arranged for a few great excursions and tours. She was incredibly professional and responsive and we look forward to working with her again soon. Highly recommend!

Ann made honeymoon planning incredibly fun and took out every element of stress! From our first conversation, I knew that Ann wanted to take both my husband and my preferences into consideration and maximize our budget. Ann was incredibly thorough and even after we booked our wonderful honeymoon to Hawaii she would send us interesting and compelling articles on the islands we were visiting which got us even more excited! I can't recommend Ann enough, she made this part of planning super easy and fun! Our honeymoon was unforgettable and we can't thank Ann enough! We will definitely think of her for our next big trip.

Ann was incredibly helpful in helping to plan our honeymoon. We didn't know exactly where we wanted to go and she patiently listened to our wants and desires and put together awesome options for us to decide between. Even after that, she was open to tweaking different parts of our trip to make it exactly what we wanted. She was very responsive and we felt confident that she would have been a phone call away while we were traveling. Highly recommend! Thank you Ann!

Honeymoon planning should be fun, easy, and stress-free; and that's exactly what you get when working with Ann! My husband and I met with Ann one Saturday morning and told her about the types of adventure and relaxation we wanted for our honeymoon. She really got to know us and our likes/dislikes. Within a week we had 3 amazing travel itineraries sent to us and the tough decision of picking just one! We worked with her to tweak our favorite itinerary and ended up with the most perfect trip for us! Ann is so knowledgeable and truly planned the most amazing and memorable trip of our lives! The entire trip was seamless and the flights, hotels, and excursions she booked for us were exactly what we pictured for our honeymoon! Ann made it so we didn't have to think about anything on our trip except having a great time! I highly recommend using Ann for ANY trip planning and I will definitely be using her in the future!!

I can't say enough good things about working with Ann to plan my honeymoon. My husband and I were very indecisive about where to go for our honeymoon and considered very different places. Ann listened to our thoughts, our wishlist, and put together amazing options. She also was incredibly responsive, informative, and helpful when uncontrollable changes in our flights happened. I felt very prepared when going into our trip following an exhausting wedding weekend, and that is thanks to Ann. I will recommend Ann to any of my friends getting married and will look to use her again in the future!

While my husband and I do usually like to plan our own vacations, the thought of planning a honeymoon while at the same time planning our wedding was just too much. We knew that we wanted to do a two-week trip to Hawaii and stay on two different islands, but beyond that we hadn't researched anything else. When we decided to enlist the help of a travel agent, something neither of us had done before, we didn't quite know what to expect. After talking to a few agents, it was clear that Ann was the right way to go. Unlike the other agents we talked to, not only was she knowledgable about Hawaii and was able to present us with a quick rundown of the various islands, but she took the time to understand what we wanted out of our vacation, rather than trying to hastily assemble a package for us. After the initial phone conversation, Ann sent over a possible itinerary and iterated on different activities and hotels so that it fit what we were looking for. With the exception of the flights we booked ourselves, she took care of all the other bookings. And with that, we were able to completely forget about all the details until the week before we left, when she sent over a complete packet with the itinerary and all the vouchers for our activities/lodging/rental cars. The honeymoon was perfect and exactly what we needed: some sightseeing adventures, some down time to go do some unplanned exploring, and then plenty of time for chilling by the beach/pool. Ann did such a great job planning the trip for us, and she made it so easy! The trip felt perfectly customized to us, and it was great that we hardly had to do anything other than express some opinions -- she took care of all the other legwork. We will definitely contact Ann the next time we need another trip and do not want to do all the planning ourselves.

Ann is truly the best! She has planned vacations for us in the past, and when it came to our honeymoon we wouldn't trust anyone else! Ann planned the PERFECT two-week trip to Bali, Indonesia for our honeymoon. A destination on the other side of the world, but easily accessible with Ann's expertise! Planning with Ann is such a pleasurable experience - she truly listens to what her clients want out of their "escapes" and always delivers! Our honeymoon absolutely amazing and exactly what we envisioned thanks to Ann. She has unlimited travel resources and connections, and always manages to give us multiple options while staying in budget. It also helps that she is incredibly well traveled, and can give you lots of guidance when needed! Ann is super organized, and always equips us with all of the itineraries/times/phone numbers/important information needed for our trip. It's also so nice to be able to go to Ann with any questions I have about our trip, which would probably go unanswered if I had booked on my own. The convenience of booking your honeymoon through Ann cannot be overstated - she takes care of everything! It's one less (big and time consuming!) thing you have to worry about during wedding planning, and she will make sure it's everything you want! Not only is she an incredible "escape artist", but she is a lovely person and we truly love working with her! We can't wait to book our next Annie's Escape!

My husband and I wanted to plan an exciting, exotic honeymoon to the French Polynesia. We didn't know where to start so we reached out to Ann for help. From the first email, Ann was quick to respond, informative and attentive to our wants and needs. She put together the perfect honeymoon to Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora and stayed within our budget. All of our reservations and transfers she set up throughout the trip went seamlessly. We highly recommend Annie's Escapes for all of your honeymoon needs!

This was our first time going through a travel agent and we were so glad that we did! Ann was so responsive to all of our messages and listened to our ideas of where we were thinking of going for our honeymoon. We decided on Kauai because of the mix of beach time as well as plenty of other activities such as hiking and atving. It was also great that Ann had previously been there and could speak from first hand experience. She gave us several options all within our budget and the hotel we ended up going with was great! We also had such an amazing time on the excursions that she had planned for us. We would highly recommend Ann and can’t wait to start planning our next trip!

Ann was absolutely FANTASTIC! We went to Ann a few months before our wedding to plan our honeymoon and she was the absolute best! When we went to meet her we had a vague idea of what we wanted, but had not been able to decide. Ann asked all the right questions to truly understand who we are and what kind of honeymoon we wanted. She truly helped us figure out what we wanted and she presented us with fabulous options. AMAZING! We can't wait to work with Ann again as she removed all the stress of planning and made the process fun! Thanks, Ann!

My husband and I knew we wanted to do Italy, but we had no idea where to start. When we first met with Anne, I was nervous giving over the reins for someone else to plan my big honeymoon adventure, but boy I'm glad I did. She made sure she knew exactly what we wanted, what we didn't want, and got a feel of our personalities to provide us with an experience we will never forget. Traveling to 5 different cities and visiting all the beautiful places with such ease made the trip that much better. She planned everything with such detail that it made my OCD self very happy. The only thing we had to do was research where to go for dinner every night (not a bad thing to be stuck with). From the hotels, transportation, and tours, I couldn't have asked for a better trip. Anne is on top of her game, she knew what you needed to see (especially for first timers in Italy) and where to spend your money, and also where to only maybe spend a few days and save. She was respectful of every opinion we had and was so helpful and pleasant to work with. I, along with my husband can't wait to plan another trip with her.... Thinking Greece this time! Anne thanks again. Italy was wonderful because of you. You made our honeymoon so special and memorable and I can't thank you enough. I would recommend you to anyone, be that honeymooners or a family. You planned the most amazing trip for us, one we will never forget!

My wife and I hired Ann to plan our honeymoon to Ireland and she did such an amazing job. We had never used a travel agent before but we're so happy we hired her because she took all of the stress out of planning our honeymoon. She met with us within a week of first contacting her and she was extremely attentive to our likes and dislikes. She was able to strike a perfect balance between our budget, planning fun activities, and giving us time to relax and explore on our own. We really can't recommend her highly enough and we will definitely be hiring her to plan future vacations!

My husband and I thought we were being a little “extra”, wanting to do a cruise AND an all inclusive resort for our honeymoon. We sat down with Ann and she planned a whole itinerary including a cruise and resort; all within our budget! Ann was super helpful along the way; frequently sending us tips about our destinations and even sent us a full itinerary of our vacation the week before we left. She was very approachable and promptly responded to any questions we had. I highly recommend Ann to help plan your honeymoon. My husband and I will definitely continue to book with Ann for our future vacations!

Ann helped us to find the PERFECT location for our honeymoon! We would never have found the destination without her assistance, and she helped us to find the perfect match. She was truly a joy to work with.

Annie was wonderful at helping us plan a 2.5 week honeymoon to Portugal, Italy and Paris. She made excellent choices and because of her planning all we had to do was enjoy!

Working with Ann was the best wedding vendor experience. Working with her made our dream honeymoon come true and SO EASILY! The thought of planning an international trip WHILE planning a wedding was so overwhelming IF you do it on your own. With Annies help it was effortless and so worth it. She's been there done that and knew how to structure our trip and the must stop places. There were multiple times during our trip we thought "Thank goodness for Ann or else we would have been lost!". We can't recommend her enough and can't wait to work with her in the future.

Anne helped us plan our absolute dream honeymoon. We were referred to Anne by friends of our who has recently got married and we could not have been happier with their recommendation! We sat with Anne and told her what we invisioned our honeymoon being like and she came back with 3 different options. She even sent us two more options after that so we knew there was no stone left unturned. We ended up deciding on Antigua and it was truly amazing. Anne handled everything from flights to transportation. We could not have asked for someone better to plan our honeymoon. We will most definitely be using Anne for all our future vacations!

My husband and I used Ann to help us plan our Greek honeymoon. She also booked my sisters honeymoon to Italy. The resorts we stayed at were the best places we have ever been. We were a little worried because we had never been overseas let alone travel to multiple places. Everything was flawless and went off without a hitch. As a bride juggling a lot of other planning, Ann made this process so simple and stress free. When you originally meet Ann she sends over a proposal with each day broken down on where you'll be and what you can do. It made us so excited for our trip. A few weeks before, she sends you a package with all your travel documents. She was so responsive throughout the process. She even emailed us during our trip because there were ferry strikes going on in Greece to let us know what to do if our plans were canceled by the strikes. It was truly the best thing we did for our wedding! We are already thinking of where we will go next. I will recommend her to anyone I know planning a trip!

My wife and I got married and weren't able to take our honeymoon right away. I was referred to Ann via a coworker who had used her for other travel. We had never used a travel agent before but were overjoyed with our experience with Ann. We had wanted to go to England and Scotland for our honeymoon and Ann was able to make that happen with ease. We had a rough idea of the things we wanted to do but Ann was able to put it all in an itinerary that made sense but still allowed us the freedom to explore as we wanted. Working with her was super easy - we had one or two phone calls to talk about what we wanted to do. Then we reviewed a sample itinerary. Making changes was painless and Ann was able to make the necessary changes to the hotel reservations. Every place she picked for us to stay was fabulous - she has great taste in hotels. She was able to find us some great places that were within our budget. Overall, would definitely recommend using Ann! We would use her again in a heartbeat.

My Husband and I had an amazing honeymoon, and couldn't have booked it without Ann's help! At our first meeting with Ann we gave her our wants for a honeymoon, and she came back with a list of 3 options for us to choose from based on our desires. Ann is prompt, detailed, and knows so much about each destination. She answered all our questions and we had the time of our lives on our honeymoon! She responded to e-mails quickly and provided us with all the information we needed before our honeymoon on what to bring and how to make our honeymoon as stress-free as possible. I highly recommend Ann at Annie's Escapes and am so happy with her services. Can't wait to book another trip with her soon! :)

We hired Ann to help coordinate and organize our wedding arrangements at Secrets St. James in Montego Bay Jamaica. Now that our wedding has past we can honestly say that hiring Ann was by far the best decision we ever could have made. Ann helped us with everything from selecting a resort, booking all of our guests travel arrangements, communicating with the resort and meticulously organizing our guests accommodations at Secrets. Had it not been for Ann's expertise and experience there is no way we would of been able to pull off such an amazing wedding & vacation. We had over 80 people make the trip to Jamaica and Ann organized and booked everyone's stay at the resort. She communicated with us weekly and sometimes even daily about guests travel arrangements and provided an up to the minute spreadsheet so we could see who had booked their trip along with their arrival and departure times. In addition to organizing and booking our guests hotel accommodations she also coordinated all transportation for our guests from the airport to the resort. As you can imagine there are a number of moving pieces with planning a destination wedding. Guests travel arrangements are probably the most difficult and the last thing a bride and groom want to worry about. Ann handled all of this and we never had to worry about a single detail. The feedback from our friends and family about Ann was also fantastic. Out of our 80 guests that made the trip there was not a single error or mistake and the entire week went off without a hitch. We can't stress enough the impact that Ann had on helping us plan our dream wedding. In addition to everything she provided from a coordination standpoint she also helped us communicate with the resort and had a direct channel for communication to the resorts wedding planners. Our wedding was now 3 weeks ago and we can't thank Ann enough for all that she did for us. Our wedding was perfect and the entire trip was a dream come true thanks to Ann's help. If you're planning a destination wedding look no further, Ann is all you need to help plan the wedding of your dreams. It's now time to begin planning our Honeymoon and we loved working with Ann so much for our wedding that we'll now be working with her again to plan our next adventure. Kristen and Scott - Rhode Island

When Adam and I went to Annie we had no clue what we wanted to do for our honeymoon... we went from relaxing on a beach to California and Hawaii - we literally had no idea! Annie sat down and talked with us to figure out what we wanted to do. She came up with fantastic ideas and we wanted to do them all! However, we only could pick one so we picked the Mediterranean cruise with 3 nights in Rome at the end. It was a once in a lifetime trip and everything was fabulous! Annie gave us a folder before we left with our day by day itinerary, all the vouchers and information we needed. It was so nice that in all the stress of the wedding this was one aspect we knew we did not have to worry about. We can't wait to go on another vacation and would definitely have Annie plan it for us!

Ann is based in Rhode Island. I am in San Diego. You do NOT need to be in Rhode Island to have Ann help you find your destination wedding location! We had a 30-person wedding in Mexico. It was perfect. You can be anywhere and she can help you find your villa/venue/hotels/etc. We did everything by phone and email. It worked out beautifully. Ann is fast. Gets back to you right away and easy to talk to by phone. Totally trust her. Fantastic at dealing with minor miscommunications about events in international settings. Sensitive and listens to your concerns and solves your problems so you don't have to. This is your wedding - biggest life event for many of us - she totally gets that. So easy to work with and she is very well traveled herself and has friends all over the world. If you don't know where you want to get married but want to do a destination wedding, she can help you there too. I started off very clueless. I'm not sure how, what, where, when I would have gotten married without her help. Destination weddings are overwhelming at first because its so hard to find the place. Especially if you don't have time to travel and scope places out beforehand. Its a life saver to have someone like Ann who you can trust. She was there the whole way making sure everything went smoothly. Best decision I made to work with her.

My husband and I are travel lovers. Having lived abroad, we both really wanted a small, intimate wedding abroad with our closest family and friends. Annie's Escapes helped us do just that while exceeding our expectations and coming in under budget. Ann, of Annie's Escapes, identified our budget then found a great variety of villas for our intimate wedding. She then coordinated every guests travel plans (that required assistance) - booked our outings, coordinated timing with the villa and all for no additional cost. It was a dream. Immediately following our wedding in Lucca Italy, we flew to the Greek Islands for a "mini-moon" - 5 nights in Crete and Santorini. She handpicked hotels that really suited our personalities and budget. We were so thrilled with our experience with Annie's Escapes in planning our wedding and mini-moon we asked for her help to plan our dream honeymoon that we took about 7 months later. For just shy of a month we explored Hawaii, and all of New Zealand. Logistically it would have been a nightmare to plan alone. Ann - worked with all the vendors and wrapped it up in a bow for us. She really listened to our needs, stayed right in our budget, and again handpicked awesome boutique hotels, and destination towns. We are currently planning a few trips with family and friends of the holidays - and Ann set us up in the Caribbean. We don't vacation without Annie's Escapes these days. Try them out, you won't ever travel "alone' again!

My husband and I travel frequently, and I generally do our travel planning myself. Our honeymoon was a different story as we wanted to spend a few weeks in New Zealand with time in both the North and South Islands. Our travel would involve multiple flights, hotels, rental cars, and even a ferry. I read about Ann's services in a Boston Wedding magazine article and contacted her via email. Although we never met in person, Ann was able to coordinate an itinerary that matched all of our needs. Ann enlisted one of her partners, Down Under Adventures, who captured all of our must see places as well as many other preferences. Our honeymoon was amazing - New Zealand was better than advertised. We were very fortunate with travel - no delays at all. Every detail confirmed. We can't thank Ann enough and would recommend her travel planning expertise to anyone who is seeking a stress-free experience.

My Husband and I LOVED our honeymoon and had such a relaxing, fun trip...we had the time of our lives. Ann was great to work with. She was flexible in planning a time to meet with us to chat about our ideas for our honeymoon. She answered ALL of the questions we had for her. She also asked a few of her own questions to get to know us better and to learn our likes and dislikes. A day or two later Ann e-mailed us with some price quotes regarding resorts she thought we may like in the different destinations we were interested in. This was a huge help for us. We looked into the resorts and locations and decided on which we would like to visit. Ann watched the flights and when she thought the airline we offering good pricing she confirmed our trip. Ann was great during the communication process and was very accommodating with any changes etc. She responded to e-mails quickly and gave us all the information we needed to make our honeymoon travel as easy as possible. I highly recommend Ann and can't thank her enough for creating a dream honeymoon for my husband and I. We can't wait to book another trip with Ann again.

I loved working with Ann! From the very first phone call, I immediately felt comfortable with her, and knew that she would help my husband and I create a great honeymoon. She was extremely prompt when replying to my emails, and she gave her honest opinions on everything. We went to Sandals in St. Lucia, and I felt confident in choosing that location when Ann mentioned that she had been there, and that is where most of her honeymooners travel too. I know that if she felt it wasn't a good spot, she would have told us so. She gave us multiple choices for flights, room preferences, and was so helpful when we unexpectedly needed to change the date of our honeymoon. She updated us right away when our flight changed, and even wished us well the day we got married on facebook! She was in touch with me daily throughout the planning process and we talked multiple times a day to make sure everything was how my husband and I wanted it to be. I plan on using Annie's Escapes for our next big trip!!

I can't say enough about Annie and Annie's Escapes. My husband and I rarely get to travel or vacation together because of our jobs and we never get to leave the country, so we knew we wanted our honeymoon to be something special that we might never get to do again. When we first met Annie, we didn't have any real sense of budget to give her, but we knew we wanted a more action/adventure type of honeymoon than, say, Europe or some tropical island, and we knew we had to leave right after the wedding. So Annie very quickly came back to us with two different options. And while we loved one of them -- Costa Rica -- we didn't love the price tag. So Annie went back to the drawing board. Just as we thought we were going to have to opt out of Costa Rica, though, she called to tell us she had found an incredible airfare deal that would allow us to take our 10-day getaway to everywhere we wanted to go! But we had to act fast -- the deal wouldn't last long. That was no problem for us, but Annie was leaving for a weekend of college tours with her daughter. So what did she do? She took all our paperwork with her, calling and texting us between flights, meetings and tours, and somehow getting everything booked for us at her own extreme inconvenience. The trip ended up being amazing, and Annie was there for us before, during and after, even emailing us and our tour company in Costa Rica when she saw our flight out of Miami had been delayed. Annie made it so that the only stress my husband and I dealt with was packing! We went to three different cities in our travels and had people on both sides waiting to escort us every step of the way. We NEVER could have planned a honeymoon like that on our own. It was the most incredible way to cap off one of the most amazing chapters in our lives. In fact, we loved Annie and Costa Rica so much, we sent our brother- and sister-in-law to Annie to plan their own honeymoon just a few weeks later! The whole fam loves Annie's Escapes!

Ann perfectly planned our honeymoon to Italy. My wife and I knew we wanted to go to Italy for our honeymoon but we were concerned that with number of sites that we wanted to see, we would need a vacation from our honeymoon when we returned. Ann took the time to meet with us and discuss where we wanted to go. She put together a plan that would allow us to see everything we wanted to see, but not be exhausted when we were done. She asked how much we wanted to have planned and how much we wanted to be on our own to explore. Every hotel she booked was perfect, the guided tours she booked for us allowed to skip some very long lines in Rome and Florence, and the ideas on what to do with our unplanned time worked out great too. It was also nice to work with someone who had personally traveled to these cities and could give us hands on advice. Her experience really showed through. We are looking forward to working with her again for our one year wedding anniversary trip to Japan!

Ann was an absolute pleasure to work with. She helped us choose a resort for our destination wedding in the Mayan Riviera, answered all of our questions for a whole year and helped our guests book their travels. She always responded to our questions and made sure we had all of the information we needed prior to departure. The resort was amazing and everyone had a great time. We will definitely be using Annie's Escapes again in the future!

Thank you so much to Annie for giving us an amazing honeymoon in Cancun!! She was so helpful and patient with our requests and date changes. She suggested a few resorts for us to choose from, and we went with her suggestion and couldn't have been happier!! We loved everything about our resort: the staff, the food, the service, the drinks! Everything was great, and well-planned. It was so easy and stress-free. Annie made all the arrangements for transportation to and from the airport, too. She also gave us a detailed itinerary with additional information about the resort. I would definitely recommend Annie to anyone planning their honeymoon!

We were so happy to work with Annie to plan our honeymoon. She was recommended to us by friends and they were right about her! She met with us to get an idea of how we travel and what we wanted to do. She then came up with a list of options and sent us details about each of them. We liked them, but wanted to see more. She was happy to continue to look for options. On her second round or options, we fell in love with Barbados. She planned us an amazing trip and we had a perfect time. Annie sent us all of our travel documents in advance and included tips and suggestions from everything from exchanging money to checking on our flights. On the way home, we were delayed out of Barbados. When we finally landed in Miami and turned on our phones, we found emails from her saying that she saw that we were delayed and she had already made arrangements in case we missed our next flight. She had already reserved seats for us on the next flight out and had multiple suggestions for where to stay over night. We had taken her suggestion and gotten the travel insurance so we weren't stressed, but we were so amazed that she would help us out like she did. She really went above and beyond. We can't wait to have Annie plan our next vacation. If you are thinking that a travel agent is expensive, think again. We put down a deposit with her when we started, but after we booked the trip, the deposit went towards the trip. Annie is wonderful to work with!

Ann is amazing to work with. She put together an amazing Barbados trip. She meets with you and really listens to what you are looking for, and really helps you create a custom trip.
