An outdoor destination celebration

Destination Events

The day itself should be the only thing on your mind.

The service

Full-service coordination, somewhere worth flying to.

Weddings, retreats and milestone celebrations in captivating locales — with guest travel, group logistics and on-the-ground timing handled.

A celebration abroad is really two events running at once. There is the day everybody came for, and underneath it there is a travel operation: flights arriving from different cities, rooms that have to be held, transfers that have to meet people, and a week of timing that has to hold together.

The second one is my job. It is also the one that tends to land on whoever is already busiest.

How it works

Four steps, and the first one is just a conversation.

No forms, no automated funnel. You email me and I start asking questions.

01The brief

You tell me what you are celebrating

What the occasion is, roughly when, roughly where, how many people you expect, and the budget you have in mind.

Then the question that shapes the week: how much of it is the event itself, and how much is the days around it?

  • The occasion
  • Dates
  • Guest count
  • Region
  • Budget

No charge for this stage and no obligation after it.

02The options

I come back with choices, not a verdict

Options with real costs and what each one trades off — how far guests have to fly, what the rooms will cost them, what the difference is between the week you want and the week the budget wants.

The earlier you ask, the more of it is still available at a group scale.

  • Options side by side
  • Real costs
  • What each one trades off

The earlier you ask the more is still open for a group.

03The logistics

Then the travel operation gets built

Guest travel and flights, rooms for the party, ground transportation and transfers, and the timing across all the days — not just the one.

Your guests get a trip that works. You get to stop being the travel agent for your own celebration.

  • Transfers
  • Timing across the days

Guest travel handled so you are not the one answering flight questions.

04The day

And I am there while it runs

On-site support is part of this. When something moves — a late arrival, a change of plan, a transfer that needs redoing — there is one person handling it, and it is not you.

On-site support so the day itself is the only thing on your mind.

The detail

What I can take off your hands.

I can handle

  • Guest travel and flights
  • Hotels and rooms for the party
  • Ground transportation and transfers
  • Group logistics across the days
  • On-site support while it runs
  • Anything else travel-side you need arranged

You decide

  • How much of it I handle
  • The budget level
  • How much of the week is programmed
  • What your guests book themselves
  • How early we lock things in

What it costs

The part people ask about first.

$0

Planning fee. There isn’t one.

  • My compensation comes from the vendors I book with, not from you.
  • You pay for the trip. The planning comes with it.
  • I can access rates, perks and amenities that are not always offered when you book direct.
  • So the time, the options and the on-the-ground knowledge cost you nothing extra.

Questions

Before you email.

What does this cost us?

Nothing beyond the trip itself. I am paid by the vendors I book with, so there is no planning fee on top of what you would be paying anyway — and I can often access rates, perks and amenities that are not offered when you book direct.

What kinds of events do you handle?

Weddings, retreats and milestone celebrations — anywhere worth flying to.

Do you handle our guests as well as us?

Yes. Guest travel is part of the job: flights, rooms and transfers for the party, not just the two of you.

Are you there on the day?

On-site support is part of this service, so there is someone handling the travel side while it runs.

How far ahead should we come to you?

As early as you can. A group needs rooms held and flights found together, and both get harder the closer you get.

How big can the group be?

Any size.

Tell me what you are celebrating.

The occasion, a rough season and a rough headcount is enough to start. Where it should happen is a fair question to bring me rather than answer in advance.
