Why Would I Work with a Travel Advisor for my Honeymoon?

Posted on June 26, 2018 at 11:28 am by Carisa Lockery

No doubt working with a travel advisor saves precious time both during the planning process and during your journey. But that's hardly the extent of the value that a good travel advisor adds to your trip. In many cases, booking with us actually saves money in addition to providing you with amenities you can't get on your own or through an online travel agency. And, when planning this very special once in a lifetime trip, why wouldn't you want all of the extra attention and amenities you can get!!!

If you've worked with me before, you know about my affiliation with the Virtuoso network, which makes me a preferred partner with the best hotels, tour operators and cruise lines in the world and provides exclusive benefits to our clients such as room upgrades, resort credits and breakfast included when you stay at a Virtuoso hotel.

More than that, however, I cultivate strong relationships with my partners so that when I send my clients out into the world, I am placing you in the care of trusted friends. When my clients arrive, they are greeted as VIP guests and doted on by my partners. And if my clients do not receive exceptional service, I will find out the reason why and take steps to correct any issues while you're in travel. Good luck getting that from an online travel agency. When you work with a travel advisor, especially me....you should see a noticeable difference.

The difference goes beyond Virtuoso, as we are members of just about every elite hotel amenity program there is. With Belmond's Bellini Club, you'll receive extra benefits on Belmond luxury trains and in their hotels. Membership in the Dorchester Collection's Diamond Club gives our clients gives our clients guaranteed upgrades at such hotels and the Plaza Athénée in Paris, Hotel Eden in Rome and The Beverly Hills Hotel. As preferred partners of Fairmont and Four Seasons, our clients receive VIP treatment at some of the most exclusive hotels and resorts in the world.

Staying with such fine hotel chains as Mandarin Oriental, Jumeirah, Rosewood, Ritz-Carlton, Rocco Forte and Starwood, you'll enjoy complimentary breakfast, credits for use in spas or restaurants along with upgraded rooms and personalized welcomes from management. The same goes for collections such as Small Luxury Hotels and the Relais & Chateaux network of properties famed for their culinary quality and unique charm.

You simply cannot reproduce the quality of experience that working with a Memorable Moments Travel, an affiliate of Largay Travel by booking on your own or through an online travel agency. Every step of the way, from planning to traveling to memorializing the trip of a lifetime, you are in good hands with real live people who are dedicated to making sure your experience is one you'll want to relive over and over. With my help, you'll be so thrilled with your vacation, you'll already be thinking about your next one by the time you get home.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm so excited that you decided to learn more about me!

First and foremost, I am a wife and mother to 2 boys, Kyle and Mason. They're part of the reason that I continued to pursue my dream of being a business owner. Having the ability to make my own hours and still be present for them is invaluable, and an experience for which I will forever be indebted to my amazing husband.

As a kid, I was always organizing everything. I loved stationary and paper and pens and markers and journals and planners and anything else that allowed me to plan and organize. Trapper Keepers and Lisa Frank? Yes, PLEASE! As I got older, that love for organization became a love for planning, particularly fun things like events. I woke up one day with the thought, “Could I actually make a living doing this?”. I had gone to Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, CT for my Bachelor's Degree in Communications, so I had a little knowledge about business and how they worked. When the idea began to formulate more and more in my head, I decided to take my education even further and pursue a Master of Business Administration Degree. Right after I earned this degree, I had my first son, so the timing was perfect! I was able to be home with him during the week while my husband worked, and work at night and on the weekends, when most events took place!

More than 10 years later, I still love bringing the idea and concept of a wedding or event into reality. Each one plays out differently, and I love that! It keeps things fresh and exciting! I can't wait to hear from you and learn all about how I can help with your next event!
