Luxury Travel Planning

Designing and coordinating unforgettable journeys

Prepare for takeoff…

    • Milestone celebrations (40th birthdays, 50th birthdays, anniversaries, new chapters)

    • Friend groups who want a luxury getaway but no one wants to do the planning

    • Bachelorette parties (elevated, intentional, beautiful but not Las Vegas chaos)

    • Corporate leadership retreats (executives who want luxury coordination without the stress)

    • Family reunions (multi-generational travel with complex logistics)

    • Anyone celebrating a moment that deserves to be extraordinary

  • Full-Service Planning:

    • Destination consultation (Where should we go? What's the vibe?)

    • Venue research & recommendations (hotels, Airbnbs, resorts)

    • Activity curation (wineries, spa, restaurants, cultural experiences)

    • Vendor sourcing & outreach (I contact, negotiate, and book everything)

    • All reservations (accommodations, dining, activities, transportation)

    • Transportation coordination (flights, shuttles, routes, timing)

    • Budget optimization (cost-effective without sacrificing luxury)

    • Group management (dietary restrictions, preferences, arrival coordination across cities)

    Experience Design:

    • Day theming (spa days, wine days, adventure days, rest days)

    • Flow & pacing (not too packed, not too empty—just right)

    • Surprise moments (special touches, celebrations, thoughtful details)

    Presentation Deck:

    • Visual itinerary (beautiful presentation like the example below)

    • Day-by-day breakdown (timing, locations, what to expect)

    • Logistics information (flights, transportation, packing, weather)

    • Imagery from each venue (so your group can visualize the experience)

    • Pricing transparency (breakdown of costs per person)

    Optional Add-Ons:

    • Day-of coordination ($1,000-2,000) — I'm on-site or on-call during your trip

    • Welcome packets ($50-100/person) — curated gifts, supplies, itinerary materials

    • Professional photography ($500-2,000) — hired photographer to capture your celebration

  • Pricing is based on trip complexity:

    Tier 1: Domestic Weekend (3-4 days, 6-12 people) — $5,000 Includes: Full planning, presentation deck, all coordination Examples: Napa, Sedona, Charleston, Austin

    Tier 2: Domestic Extended (5-7 days, 6-12 people) — $7,500 Includes: Full planning, presentation deck, more complex logistics Examples: Multi-city California, cross-country road trip, national parks tour

    Tier 3: International (4-7 days, 6-12 people) — $10,000 Includes: Full planning, presentation deck, passport/visa support, international vendor coordination Examples: Tuscany, Bali, Costa Rica, Morocco, Greece

    Add-ons:

    • Day-of coordination: $1,000-2,000

    • Welcome packets: $50-100/person

    • Professional photographer: $500-2,000

    Payment structure:

    • 50% deposit upon signing (secures your planning time)

    • 50% due upon presentation delivery (before trip occurs)

    Important note: My planning fee is separate from trip costs. You pay me for the coordination service. Trip costs (hotel, flights, meals, activities, transportation) are paid separately by travelers directly to vendors.

  • Step 1: Consultation (45 minutes, complimentary) What are you celebrating? Who's coming? What's the vibe? What's the budget? When is the trip?

    Step 2: Proposal & contract I send a proposal with pricing tier, scope, and timeline. You sign and pay 50% deposit.

    Step 3: Planning & coordination (3-8 weeks) I research, reach out to vendors, make reservations, coordinate logistics, create your presentation deck. I keep you updated throughout.

    Step 4: Presentation delivery You receive your 20-30 slide visual itinerary, all confirmations, booking numbers, vendor contacts, packing list, travel tips. You pay remaining 50%.

    Step 5: Pre-trip support I'm available for questions, adjustments, last-minute changes. I send final reminders before departure.

    Step 6: Optional day-of coordination If you added this service, I'm on-site or on-call to handle any issues and ensure smooth execution.

Recent project: Napa Valley 40th Birthday

The vision…

Nine women, four days, world-class wine country. A milestone birthday deserved a milestone experience.

What I did…

  • Researched and contacted 5+ wineries (selected the perfect 5 for the group)

  • Compared hotel options across Napa Valley (booked Archer Hotel—industrial-chic luxury)

  • Made all reservations (wineries, restaurants, spa, rooftop bar)

  • Coordinated transportation (researched cost-effective flights across ORD/OAK/SFO, planned shuttle routes and timing for seamless transfers)

  • Attempted group rate negotiations (party size too small, but established vendor relationships)

  • Designed themed days (wine tasting immersion, spa + fine dining, leisure + departure)

  • Sourced imagery from each venue (so the group could visualize every stop)

  • Created a 27-slide presentation deck (complete visual itinerary with timing, logistics, pricing breakdown)

  • Coordinated arrivals from 2 different airports (Chicago and Houston)

  • Delivered a turnkey experience (the shuttle driver literally just drove—I handled everything else)

The result?
