“When it came to planning the hotel block for our New York destination wedding, Amanda was an absolute rockstar. She jumped right in to secure the perfect spot on the Lower East Side, and when the first options were taking too long, she pivoted fast and locked in Sixty - Lower East Side in just one day. No small feat with a 60-day countdown to the wedding! The hotel was stunning, with spacious rooms and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing breathtaking views of the Empire State Building and One World Trade. We even had a 650 sq ft room with a huge balcony that made for the most gorgeous bridal getting-ready photos. They stay was above and beyond with room upgrades and champagne, making every guest feel so special. Amanda's quick thinking, attention to detail, and genuine care for our big day made all the difference. We couldn't have done it without her!”

“We knew we wanted our wedding in Cabo to feel elevated and intentional—not just a typical all-inclusive experience—and Amanda delivered exactly that.
She guided us through selecting the right resort, explained the differences in detail, and helped us choose a property that truly matched our vision.
She managed all of our guest travel for about 30 people, coordinated bookings, and made sure everyone had exactly what they needed. We didn’t have to chase down RSVPs or answer constant questions—she handled all of it.
What impressed us most was her attention to detail. She worked directly with the resort to ensure ideal room placement, coordinated arrivals, and made sure everything flowed smoothly from start to finish.
The entire experience felt seamless and elevated. It wasn’t just a wedding—it felt like a luxury experience for everyone involved.”
- Michael B. Cabo Destination Wedding. Groom.
“Planning a destination wedding in Provence felt like a dream—but coordinating travel, accommodations, and logistics across a rural part of France quickly became overwhelming. We had guests flying in from multiple countries, renting cars, and trying to navigate an area none of us were familiar with.
Amanda stepped in and handled everything with a level of organization we didn’t even know we needed. She sourced and secured accommodations for our group, coordinated arrivals, and ensured each guest had clear instructions for transportation and timing.
What truly stood out was how she managed the complexity behind the scenes. From staggered arrivals to last-minute changes, everything was handled seamlessly. We never felt like we were putting out fires or answering constant questions—she had it covered.
By the time we arrived in Provence, everything felt effortless. Our guests were relaxed, everything flowed smoothly, and we were able to fully immerse ourselves in the experience.
It felt less like planning a wedding and more like being guided through a beautifully curated experience.”
- Isabella D. Provence, France Destination Wedding. Bride.
“We wanted our wedding in Paris to feel intimate, elegant, and thoughtfully planned—not just a ceremony, but a full experience for our guests.
Amanda helped us bring that vision to life. She curated accommodations in a central location, making it easy for our guests to explore the city while staying close to all planned events.
She also coordinated arrival logistics, transportation, and key details that ensured everything ran smoothly throughout the weekend.
What stood out most was how intentional everything felt. Our guests weren’t confused or overwhelmed—they knew exactly where to be and when, which made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable.
We were able to fully enjoy our wedding weekend in Paris without worrying about logistics, and that made all the difference.”
- Camille L. Paris, France Destination Wedding. Bride.
“We went into planning our destination wedding in Cancun thinking it would be simple… and quickly realized it was anything but. Between coordinating over 40 guests, managing travel details, and trying to communicate with the resort, it became overwhelming fast.
Amanda stepped in and completely changed the experience for us. She secured our room block, handled all guest communication, and made sure everyone had exactly what they needed—from flights to transfers to special requests. We didn’t have to answer constant texts or emails from guests because she handled everything.
What really stood out was how she advocated for us behind the scenes. When there were delays in communication with the resort, she followed up persistently and got things handled quickly. We also received perks and upgrades we wouldn’t have had access to on our own.
By the time we arrived, everything felt seamless. Our guests kept commenting on how organized everything was, and we were actually able to relax and enjoy our wedding week. Looking back, hiring Amanda was hands-down the best decision we made.”
- Emily C. Cancun Destination Wedding. Bride.
"Working with Amanda Dante and Elegant Escapes Travel was truly exceptional. Planning a destination wedding for more than 70 guests coming from all over the United States could have been overwhelming, but Amanda made the entire process easy and stress-free for both us and our guests.
Amanda went above and beyond coordinating travel, accommodations, airport transfers, and communication for everyone attending. We had guests flying both commercially and privately, and every single person was impressed by the level of organization, constant communication, resort updates, pre-arrival videos, and detailed FAQs. She made sure everyone felt informed, prepared, and taken care of throughout the entire process.
One of the things we appreciated most was Amanda's responsiveness. Whenever we had questions, she was quick to answer and always available when we needed her. As a busy couple planning a wedding, having someone we could rely on made all the difference.
What could have been a stressful planning experience became an exciting and enjoyable one because of Amanda's guidance, attention to detail, and dedication to both us and our guests. She truly helped make our wedding the best day of our lives while ensuring our family and friends had an incredible experience as well.
If anyone is considering a destination wedding, we cannot recommend Amanda Dante enough. She is professional, organized, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making your vision come to life. We will absolutely be working with Amanda and Elegant Escapes Travel again in the future."
- Brandon & Shailese C. Dominican Republic Destination Wedding. Bride & Groom
“We knew we wanted a wedding in Lake Como, but we quickly realized how complex it would be to plan something at that level from abroad. Between selecting the right property, coordinating guest travel, and understanding the logistics of the area, it felt overwhelming.
Amanda guided us through every step with clarity and expertise. She helped us choose the perfect hotel for our group, ensured all guest bookings were handled correctly, and coordinated transportation—including boat transfers—which we never would have been able to manage on our own.
She also worked behind the scenes to ensure our experience felt elevated, from room placement to added perks that made a noticeable difference.
What we appreciated most was how seamless everything felt. We weren’t fielding guest questions or troubleshooting issues—we were able to fully enjoy every moment.
Our wedding felt like something out of a film, and Amanda played a huge role in making that happen.”
- Olivia H. Lake Como, Italy Destination Wedding. Bride.
“We had over 70 guests traveling for our wedding in Riviera Maya, and we truly underestimated how complex that would be. There were so many moving parts—different travel dates, last-minute changes, and constant guest questions.
Amanda took over the entire process and made it feel manageable from day one. She organized our room block, tracked bookings, and handled all communication with our guests so we didn’t have to.
Even when plans changed, she adjusted quickly and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. Everything felt organized and under control the entire time.
Our guests still talk about how smooth everything was—from arrival to departure—and that’s entirely because of her.
The biggest gift she gave us was the ability to actually enjoy our wedding without being stressed or overwhelmed.”
- Nicole H. Riviera Maya, Mexico Destination Wedding. Bride.
“Planning a wedding along the French Riviera came with a lot of moving pieces—multiple locations, guest travel coordination, and a tight schedule of events across a few days.
Amanda managed everything with incredible attention to detail. She coordinated guest accommodations, transportation between locations, and ensured everyone had clear, easy-to-follow plans.
What impressed us most was how smooth everything felt, even with the complexity of the itinerary. Our guests were able to relax and enjoy the experience without confusion or stress.
For us, the biggest benefit was being able to fully enjoy our wedding without managing logistics. Everything was handled, and it showed.
It felt like a truly elevated, seamless experience from beginning to end.”
- Thomas M. French Riviera Destination Wedding. Groom.
“We were guests at a destination wedding and had the pleasure of working with Amanda as our travel planner and wow, what a difference it makes having someone truly great in your corner! We had never booked an all-inclusive before and had SO many questions, but Amanda was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional every step of the way. Her communication made the whole process feel effortless and stress-free. What really stood out was how she went above and beyond just booking the wedding dates and helped us extend our trip and customize our all-inclusive experience around our personal interests, turning it into a full romantic getaway for my husband and me. It was the perfect vacation we didn't even know we needed. We can't recommend Amanda enough and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
- K.F. - Traveled To Mexico. Destination Wedding Guest.
“Planning a destination wedding in Punta Cana sounded like a dream—until we started organizing travel for over 50 guests coming from different cities. It quickly became overwhelming trying to manage flights, rooms, and logistics on our own.
Amanda handled everything with such precision. She organized our room block, guided each guest through the booking process, and answered all of their questions. It took an incredible amount of pressure off of us.
She was also incredibly proactive. When there were potential issues with room assignments, she had already worked with the resort ahead of time to make sure everything was correct.
On top of that, she secured added value for us—resort credits, better room placement, and thoughtful touches that made the entire experience feel elevated.
Our wedding week was smooth, fun, and completely stress-free. We were able to actually enjoy the experience instead of managing it.”
- Sophia R. Punta Cana, Dominican Republic Destination Wedding.
“We planned a smaller, more intimate wedding in Jamaica, and we wanted it to feel personal and meaningful rather than overwhelming. Amanda understood that immediately.
Even with a smaller group, there were still so many details to coordinate, and she handled all of them effortlessly. From travel bookings to special requests, everything was taken care of.
She also worked with the resort to ensure our experience felt elevated—better room placement, thoughtful touches, and seamless coordination throughout the trip.
What stood out most was how supported we felt. We never felt like we were figuring things out on our own—she was always one step ahead.
Our wedding felt effortless, beautiful, and exactly what we envisioned.”
- Chris M . Jamaica Destination Wedding. Groom.
“We planned our wedding in Tuscany with a large group of family and friends traveling from both the U.S. and Europe, and we underestimated how much coordination that would require. Between accommodations, transportation, and different arrival schedules, it became overwhelming very quickly.
Amanda handled every aspect of the travel logistics for our group. She organized accommodations, coordinated transportation to and from the estate, and ensured every guest knew exactly where to be and when.
There were many moving parts, but everything felt incredibly organized. Even when there were last-minute changes, she adapted quickly and made sure everything stayed on track.
Our guests were able to relax and enjoy the experience, and we were able to be fully present for our wedding without worrying about logistics.
It truly felt like a seamless, beautifully curated experience from start to finish.”
- Sophia B. Tuscany, Italy Destination Wedding. Bride.
Couples Getaways & Honeymoons

- Jason D. Traveled To Anguilla. Honeymoon.

- Colleen M. Traveled To New York City. Couples Getaway.
“I found Amanda on Social Media reviewing different 5 star places in Mexico. Amanda responded to my request very quickly and provided me with some great options. She actually did contact the resort to ensure they would be fully open during our stay which they confirmed. We were upgraded prior to our stay thanks to Amanda. She was with us every step of the way. Amanda and her service is 5 star and she comes with my highest recommendation.”
- Edward B Traveled To Mexico. Honeymoon.
“Working with Amanda was such a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish. She took the time to understand what we wanted out of our trip and then handled every detail with care. Communication was always clear, quick, and professional—she answered questions before I even had to ask them.
Her knowledge of the destination and the special perks she was able to secure made us feel like true VIPs. I never once felt stressed about planning because I knew everything was in Amanda’s hands. The entire process was seamless, and all we had to do was show up and enjoy.
I would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone looking to elevate their travel experience. She made planning not only easy, but exciting.”
- Eric D. Traveled To Kentucky, Tenennesse, & North Carolina. Couples Getaway Roadtrip.
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Amanda as our travel agent. Right from the very beginning, her communication was frequent, clear, and super helpful during the planning stages. She provided us with multiple options for each country we were visiting—different city locations and a range of price points—so we always felt like the final decisions were truly ours.
One of the things we really appreciated was Amanda’s attention to detail. She gave us restaurant recommendations close to our accommodation in each city, which made things so much easier once we arrived. She also offered thoughtful activity suggestions tailored to each location, which really helped us make the most of our trip.
When we ran into an issue with one of our hotels upon arrival, Amanda responded immediately. She contacted the hotel manager directly and quickly came back to us with several options to resolve the problem. It was handled swiftly and professionally, and thanks to her, we ended up very happy with the outcome. That moment really highlighted the level of care and service Amanda provides—she truly went above and beyond.
Overall, we couldn’t be more impressed. Amanda’s service was exceptional from start to finish, and the personal touch she brought to every aspect of our trip made all the difference. Highly recommend!”
- Emma P. Traveled To Croatia & London. Couples Getaway.
“Everything went absolutely perfectly! We had the most amazing time, and I can’t thank Amanda enough for making this trip so seamless and special. We made it home safely—minus all the shells we collected (the airport took those, unfortunately!)—but the best part is that my husband is now excited to travel again. That alone feels like a huge win, and I truly owe it all to you! Thank you for an unforgettable experience.”

“Hi Amanda! I just got back last night and wanted to tell you we really enjoyed our trip, absolutely loved the Bahamas, and the VIP package you got us at Atlantis was amazing! I feel it was an even better experience than the Butler service at Sandals.
My husband and I love to take a trip every year (last year we did Bora Bora) and I’ll be sure to message you again for our next trip. Thank you again for managing the trip!”
- Rukhsar R. Traveled To The Bahamas. Honeymoon.
“One of our best trips to Nashville hands down! Amanda made it so convenient, booking a beautiful boutique hotel within walking distance to all the great places, downtown Nashville! She went above and beyond~ Champagne in room upon arrival Made to order breakfast in coffee cafe included daily *$100 voucher towards hotel restaurant/bar After this experience, not sure why anyone wouldn’t use this professional service with Amanda! I know we definitely will!! Thanks again for making this such a wonderful trip!”

- Travis T. Traveled To Canada & Alaskan Cruise. Couples Getaway.
“Amanda provided us several options of resorts and flights that fit within our budget. After choosing a resort, she took care of booking our room, dinner and spa reservations, flight and hotel transfers. Her correspondence was prompt and polite. We will definitely use her expertise in future travels.”
- Jennifer F. Traveled To Mexico. Couples Getaway.
“I have never used a travel planner before. I love planning things myself and am pretty Type A so I didn’t want to be annoying to a travel planner. I found Amanda via TikTok and reached out just to see what could or would happen. Amanda was so nice, personable and listened to me and my million ideas and opinions lol. She never made me feel annoying and understood the assignment. I am a bougie girl who loves finer things but I’m not a rich girl so on a budget and she picked beautiful properties for me that I can’t stop raving about. She even checked in multiple times during, before trip, during and after. She also had our first hotel print up a welcome note with some shots for my fiance and I. I really loved working with Amanda. I highly recommend.”
- Nicole C. Traveled To Greece. Couples Getaway.
“We stayed at the 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville this winter, and I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about both the hotel and Amanda. She secured the perfect hotel in the best possible location, right on Bourbon Row, which made it incredibly easy to enjoy all of our activities, tastings, restaurants, and nightlife without worrying about transportation. What truly impressed us were the VIP perks Amanda secured for our stay. We booked the lowest category room and were upgraded to a stunning corner balcony suite — and the balcony alone was bigger than most hotel rooms we’ve stayed in. We also received free breakfast every morning at the hotel’s boutique restaurant, delicious sweet treats waiting for us upon arrival, and a $100 credit to use for dinner and drinks one night at the restaurant. Beyond the hotel, Amanda handled everything. She scheduled all of our activities, suggested amazing restaurants, made all of our reservations, and even secured VIP experiences along Bourbon Row that we would not have been able to arrange on our own. The entire trip was seamless, stress-free, and elevated from start to finish. Everything felt thoughtful, personalized, and perfectly curated. IT WAS AMAZING, and we will absolutely be booking with Amanda again and recommending her to everyone we know.”
- Eric D. Traveled To Louisville. Couples Getaway
“Amanda was very helpful and attentive! She even answered our call live when we had gotten lost in the airport.”
- Lance J. Traveled To Dominican Republic. Honeymoon.
Family & Group Trips
“Top tier, I have already and will continue to recommend to my friends and family. Amanda brought the excitement and knowledge to the whole booking experience. She thought of the things that I didn't, like transportation to and from the hotel and airport. She was also able to locate a party boat and to decorated my room with my favorite colors. It's the little things that made a big impact. I'm looking forward to my next trip with and to see what I have in store. Thank you so much.”
- Kria P. Traveled To Saint Thomas. Family Birthday Trip
“Our travel advisor, Amanda Schneider was wonderful! She had our family use the Tern travel app which I had never used, but it was so helpful since two of the family members were coming from different cities and meeting us en route. There were a lot of factors to accommodate with a family of 6 and different cities, etc and she got it all spot on! We had some flight issues and delays and she helped us get it all sorted, and filed an insurance claim for the delays on our behalf. She was checking in on us and clearing up small situations here and there as we travelled-even though she was on her honeymoon! We will book through Amanda again on our next trip for sure :)”
- Mike C. Traveled To Croatia. Large Family Vacation.
“Amanda did everything perfectly. After I had provided her with the details of our expectations for the trip to New York, she had multiple options for hotels and flights ready for me to choose from very quickly. I was able to choose an option that was $500 under our budget and she even provided us with a full itinerary of fun things to do. She also provided detailed travel instructions from the airport to our hotel, as well as how to travel while in the city. Our trip was amazing and the amount of time and stress she saved me from by doing all of the planning is priceless! I plan to have Amanda plan all of our trips going forward!”
- Amy E. Traveled To New York City. Mother-Daughter Trip.
“What a relief to know that all the details were taken care of in advance. Amanda was so easy to work with and made sure we were taken care of. I don't think we will ever plan another vacation without her expertise.”
- James B. Traveled To Hawaii. Multi-Generational Family Trip.
“You have a lot of patience! Your response time to requests and general communication is very good as well. I appreciated the notes in London, Barcelona and Porto. Thank you for the wine in London and cookies in Barcelona! Thank you for the beach recommendations during my cruise. I think you are very good at what you do and I know you will have much success in the future. Thank you again for all of your help with this trip!”

- Daniel B. Traveled To Cabo. Group Getaway.
“Amanda handled all the planning and organization, making travel days easy and stress-free. We especially appreciated her extra effort to make sure our rooms were together.”
- Jaime R. Traveled To Punta Cana. Friends Vacation.
We started planning out Italian trip with Amanda in November 2024. Amanda had tremendous patience as we started at 4 then morphed into 6 people all with strong ideas of what our trip should be. The first order of business was to get out travel itinerary in order. We eventually landed on Rome, Tuscany, Palermo and Sorrento hotels. Amanda had great suggestions for Rome, Palermo and Sorrento. We had a recommendation from a friend so we told her what hotel to book for Tuscany. We had several zoom meetings with Amanda and she helped guide us to secure the type of hotels we liked and made sure the tours booked were personalized. Amanda booked our flights from Florence/Palermo and Palermo/Naples.
Rome... The Hotel Hoxton We picked this out with Amanda. The Hotel was in Rome and was a city hotel. We arrived early and they let us upgrade our rooms from a balcony to a Terrace and we checked in by 10:30am. The room was a decent size for a city hotel (think NYC), and the bed and bathroom were a great size. The vibe inside had a bar in the front and a bar in the back with the middle area had couches and chairs. It had a very welcoming vibe and the drinks were incredible with a special mention to the best espresso martini's of the trip. The bartenders were all cool and tried to help with speaking Italian. The first night we did a golf cart tour. Amanda had a couple of Aperol Spritz’s waiting in the room when we arrived! Nice touch Amanda!! The cart accommodated the 6 of us and the driver spoke fluent English / Italian and knew Rome. The cart was a 40mph vehicle that went on the main roads. (not your typical golf cart), 2 of us sat facing the rear and we got to see the city at sunset. We saw the park, views of St Peter's, stopped at the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and Piazza Navrona. The sights were awesome, and our guide gave us a historical perspective. We of course drank wine on the cart and stopped for Gelato. The golf cart was a great way to get started on our Italian adventure. Rome day 2 Vatican and Colosseum. Amanda set up tours for the Vatican and Colosseum. I highly recommend having a private tour guide. It made the experience so much richer as it was just us and an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide. We got to see the entire Vatican, the catacombs where the Popes and St Peter are buried. The art, statues, paintings, Sistine Chapel were all explained. The historical significance and great stories provided by our tour guide made this an incredible experience. We also got to pass thru the Porta Santa “holy door” only open every 25 years during the jubilee. The second tour was the Palatine, Forum and Colosseum. This tour required much walking, so you need to have good mobility. The tour guide was again incredibly knowledgeable. It was incredible to see the literal unearthing of these ancient ruins. We got to see how they lived and our tour guide provided a historical perspective. The entire tour was educational and well worth the investment of time. We had a driver take us from Rome to Tuscany. The Hotel FonteVerde that we picked out was incredibly opulent and had 8 thermal spring pools and full spa. When we checked in Amanda had a fruit assortment waiting for each of us. Thanks Amanda!! The rooms were beautiful, and the breakfast, dinner and nighttime lounge were all top shelf. We stood there for 5 nights and took days trips to Florence, Siena, Centano, San Gimignano, Montalcino, and 2 Tuscan Vineyards. We eventually flew out of Florence to Palermo. My only self-critique is the Hotel was spectacular but the distance to get places was great. On my next trip it would be better to map out the destinations you want to travel to and then find a hotel that has the amenities desired with a more central location. That is a small critique as being in a comfortable van looking at the incredible countryside was a definite perk. Amanda set up our flights to Florence Palermo and Palermo Naples. We had to use 2 different carriers based on timing of flights. These smaller airlines Volotea and EasyJet have luggage weight restrictions. I had the phone app, and we upped the weight limit for a nominal charge. If you are flying get phone apps, it makes life much easier. Palermo Hotel Grand Hotel et Des Palmes. This Hotel was a classic Italian opulent Hotel. Amanda gets credit for this choice. The rooms, size, cleanliness were classics. I was celebrating a birthday in Palermo and when I checked in, Amanda had a birthday cake waiting. This was appreciated and so unexpected. We met friends in Palermo and had a great dinner at a local restaurant; we had an incredible birthday dinner at Villa Igiea the night before. The restaurant was spectacular, the service very personalized and the after-dinner drinks at an incredible bar made this a memorable birthday dinner. The next day we took an Uber and headed to Cefalu the beach region. Enjoyed a day of swimming, lounging and a few spritzes. We flew from Palermo to Naples and then were driven to Sorrentino. The Hotel Capodimonte was perched high on the Cliffs with beautiful scenic water views. The service, food and location were perfect. Amanda helped us pick this hotel, great pick Amanda. The location was great as we walked into the town center and Sorrento was just incredible. We did have a standout dinner at Ristorante Museo Caruso in Sorrento. The restaurant was incredible with white glove service, and I’d recommend a special dinner as priced high but worth it. We took trips to many cities on the Amalfi coast with all offering incredible views, great food and incredible people.
This trip turned out to be momentous. I thank Amanda for her help and perseverance in dealing with us. Her personal touches were definitely appreciated and her allowing us to integrate our ideas made this a great collaboration.

“I was feeling overwhelmed with trying to plan a Costa Rican vacation with my kids. I wanted it to be perfect and safety was a top priority. I came across Amanda’s page and I immediately wanted to have her plan my vacation. The process was seamless and the itinerary she created was even better than I could’ve imagined. The private transportation services she recommended were 10/10. We were in constant communication with the service so I was never concerned about whether they would show up or not. I cannot thank Amanda enough for this dream vacation. My kids said this was the best trip they’ve ever been on. I will be using her for all future travel endeavors. THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
- Deryle M. Traveled To Costa Rica. Mother-Kid Vacation.
“Amanda was great to work with. She was able to secure us a better room rate and also was able to upgrade our room from a normal 2 bedroom to a suite for the same rate as the 2 bed room. Was great working with her and having her do all the leg work for us. Will definitely ask her to book my next trip / vacation for my family.”

“Working with Amanda at Elegant Escapes was a five-star experience from start to finish. The accommodations were exceptional, and the entire trip was everything I expected—and more. The planning process was completely stress-free, and having support during travel made the experience even better. Overall, it truly exceeded my expectations in every way.”
- Mark T. Traveled To Hawaii. 50th Birthday Getaway. Solo Adventure.
“Amanda was amazing and this is not our first trip she has booked for us, which says everything. She always delivers.
This time I took my two sons to Las Vegas. We booked two queen strip view rooms, just a standard room, and Amanda worked her magic behind the scenes. We ended up being upgraded to the Sky Suites, premium suites that included access to a private lounge with complimentary food and drinks every single day, plus dedicated concierge service and a Rolls Royce pick-up and drop-off straight to and from the airport. My sons were absolutely blown away.
What I love most about working with Amanda is that she is incredibly organized and nothing falls through the cracks. She handles every detail so that all you have to do is show up and enjoy. She knows what questions to ask, she sets the right expectations, and then somehow she still manages to exceed them.
She genuinely cares about making each trip memorable, not just booked. There is a real difference between someone who processes reservations and someone who curates experiences and Amanda is the latter. She has the industry relationships and insider access that you simply cannot get on your own, and she puts them to work for her clients every time.
If you are on the fence about using a travel advisor, let this be your sign. We will never plan a trip without her.”
- James B. Traveled To Las Vegas. Father-Sons Spring Break.
“Amanda listened to our framework of what we wanted most out of our Japan trio. She fit together hotel stays, bullet train tickets and event tickets, like Teamlab Planets. She helped us link everything together seamlessly and helped to make our trip a very memorable one.”
- Michelle C. Traveled To Japan. Family Vacation.
“Amanda was a HUGE help every step of the way! From planning the most intricate details such as car pickups to even the broadest details such as where we are even going in the first place. Always suggested hotels, restaurants and travel options at multiple price points to ensure we had as much freedom as possible while still beind guided by her. We will definitely be returning to Amanda and Fora in the future for any travel assistance we might need!”
- Grant S. Traveled To Italy, Portugal, & Spain. Friends Getaway.
“Amanda went above and beyond to provide us with a great experience. We reached out on short notice, ended up pivoting our plans slightly, and there was no lag in service, we had updated options within a couple of hours. She asked great questions, and really listened to what we were looking to do, and provided a list of options that would have taken us 3 weeks to get through, let alone the two days were were staying on this trip. One of the least stressful, most enjoyable travel experiences my family has had to date, I could not recommend Amanda and her services more! Call her, you will not be disappointed!”
- Josh A. Traveled To Chicago. Wife’s Birthday Family Trip.
“Amanda was great! She answered all our questions timely and gave lots of options to do while we were there!”
— Tiffany S. Traveled To Florida. Mother & Kids Group Trip.
Our Cabo trip was absolutely amazing. We loved the hotel and our room so much — truly such a great stay. Every restaurant Amanda recommended was incredible, and she handled all of our dinner reservations, even switching things up last minute when needed. Everything felt seamless.
She also went above and beyond by assisting us last-minute with accommodations and flights so we could leave a day early and avoid the East Coast storm that could have canceled our trip. That extra level of support made all the difference.
We loved Cabo and will definitely be going back soon. Thanks, Amanda, as always!

“Everything about our stay at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea was absolutely exceptional — the resort itself is stunning and the staff went above and beyond at every turn. Amanda upgraded us with daily breakfast for two, a hotel credit, and a sweet birthday surprise that made the whole trip feel extra special. The level of service and attention to detail, both from the resort and Amanda, was truly something we won't forget. We can't recommend booking through her enough!”

We loved having our itinerary on our phones, and all of the suggested restaurants and events were exactly what we were hoping for.”

Cruises
“We were so impressed from the service we received from Amanda. As a new to cruising family, and someone who gets motion sick, my anxiety was high prior to travel. Amanda made sure we picked a cabin best suited to alleviate motion sickness risk. She also prepared a very thorough travel preparation document and video that was SO helpful. It explained what to expect and pack to the very last detail. Overall, our first cruise was a 10/10, thanks to Amanda!”
- Elizabeth C. Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. Family Cruise.
“Amanda's knowledge and guidance made all the difference when booking our Virgin Voyages cruise.

Traveling with children can be overwhelming, but she thought of details we never would have considered and made sure we were fully prepared before departure. Her recommendations and attention to detail gave us peace of mind, and we were able to focus on making memories as a family. We would absolutely work with Amanda again."
