About Me

Impression Isla Mujeres
Impression Isla Mujeres

 

I have always loved to travel - it offers one the chance for an escape, a chance for adventure and the opportunity to learn not only about other cultures, but about yourself. I have traveled through Europe, cruised over 50 times and have visited 50 + countries. A few of my favorite trips include cruising the Danube & Rhine Rivers, Iceland, The Maldives, Bora Bora, and of course the Caribbean. I also own and operate another business within my community for nearly 20 years. After the unexpected loss of my brother and best friend in 2015 I realized life was too short to not pursue my passion. He and I grew up with a love of travel and were very fortunate to have been all over the world but more importantly had each other to share it with. He is a driving factor behind Luxe Escapes Travel. When I am not on the computer or phone arranging travel or traveling myself, you can find me at my other local business and spending time with my husband and our rescue cats. Life is too short not to fully enjoy every second of it with those you love. Planning the perfect trip for my clients is truly an honor and a passion of mine, not just a job. As a travel professional I truly love designing personalized experiences. I know how to make the booking process and travel relaxing and completely stress-free, and I’ll help you create a perfect vacation that fits you. I am certified with a variety cruise lines and resorts and am constantly learning to stay up to date with the latest information and promotions. Whether you want to enjoy a weekend getaway at the beach, cruise to multiple destinations, or discover a beautiful new culture, I want you to have an incredible time.

To ensure this, I will:

  • Fully personalize your itinerary
  • Make the booking process simple and exciting
  • Provide unique tips and insider information
  • Research your destination
  • Find accommodations, flights, and cruises that fit your group
  • Be available to assist you at all times
  • Offer you more than an online booking engine does

Destination Weddings are also a speciality of mine and I absolutely love working with couples to ensure their special day is perfect. Not only are destination weddings a passion of mine, I was a destination wedding bride myself so I know all of the ins and outs. 

I specialize in ocean and river cruising and have trained with a variety of suppliers. I am certified with the following:

  • Celebrity Cruises
  • MSC Yacht Club
  • Virgin Voyages
  • Avalon Waterways
  • Explora Journeys
  • AMA Waterways
  • and many more!

I also specialize in All Inclusive resorts for any type of traveler from families to  honeymoons and destination weddings.

  • Sandals/Beaches Certified Specialist
  • Secrets/Dreams Resorts
  • The Excellence Collection
  • Hyatt Ziva/Zilara
  • and more!

I especially love working with groups. Whether you're planning a family reunion, destination wedding, or special interest trip, I would love to assist you in planning the perfect trip for your group's needs.

If you are seeking fund raising ideas for your non profit organization we have some great options for group travel!

Please contact me today to discover the value I can add to your next vacation and make it a truly memorable experience.

Perfect Wedding in Italy
Reviewed By Shea - Denver, CO | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Katie was incredible, and I couldn’t imagine taking this trip without her help. We traveled to Italy for our wedding (Positano, Naples, and Rome) and Katie took care of literally everything. She booked drivers, hotels, and any excursions/tours we wanted. As someone who hates to plan things, Katie made an international trip one of the easiest things we have done. Communication with her was seamless and very punctual. I will definitely be working with her again, and highly highly recommend her to others.

Great coordinating for a wedding!
Reviewed By Evanne R - Virginia | Traveled to Riviera Maya | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Everything was great! Lots of communication leading up to the trip. The itinerary was great... easy to save to my phone so it was readily accessible along the way. The shuttle that was booked was very high end. Katie was available to answer my questions along the way! It was nice to have her and not bug the bride with the details! We had a great time! Thanks for coordinating!
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
