Destination Wedding Specialist

Stacey has been amazing to work with! She helped us plan our honeymoon for April 2025 and our babymoon for November 2025. We were originally planning to return to Jamaica, but it happened to fall during the same week as the historic hurricane that hit the island. We were scheduled to leave on Sunday, and the hurricane struck the following day, Monday. The Tuesday before our departure, we reached out to Stacey to see if the resort planned to cancel our trip. By Wednesday and Thursday, there were still no plans to cancel, so Stacey went out of her way to find us a new resort on a different island rather than changing our travel dates. We knew there was a chance the resort in Jamaica could have been damaged by the storm, and since I was pregnant, there was also a chance I wouldn’t be able to travel in the near future.

Stacey helped plan our trip by offering several destination options, including Cancun and the Dominican Republic, and the entire process felt simple and stress-free from the very beginning. Flight options, shuttle services, and travel requirements were clearly explained, which made planning easy and worry-free. Choosing the Dominican Republic felt like the perfect balance of relaxation, beautiful scenery, and cultural experiences. We stayed at the RIU Palace Bávaro, and it exceeded our expectations. The resort was clean, well maintained, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The staff was friendly and attentive, always making sure guests were comfortable. The rooms were spacious, the food options were plentiful, and we especially loved the food court choices for lunch. The beach was beautiful, with clear water and soft sand. There were plenty of activities available, including kayaking, snorkeling, and body boarding, but it was also easy to relax by the pool or the ocean. One of the highlights of our trip was visiting Saona Island. The excursion was well organized and absolutely worth the day trip. The boat ride was fun, and the views were stunning. We booked a VIP tour that included access to a private white sand beach with about 50 other people. It felt peaceful and truly showcased the natural beauty of the Dominican Republic. This experience was memorable and one of the best parts of our trip. Traveling back to the United States was smooth and well organized. Airport transportation was easy since everything had already been booked and arranged by Stacey. The departure process went as expected, and we had no issues returning to the U.S. Overall, this vacation was a great experience from start to finish. I highly recommend the Dominican Republic for anyone looking for a mix of relaxation, adventure, and beautiful scenery. I also highly recommend Stacey and Dreams and Destination-Wheeling Office for making the entire trip seamless and enjoyable.

From the beginning of our trip planning Stacey was amazing. Answered every question and made the trip much easier. Would definitely recommend.

I’ve had Stacey plan many vacations and does a fabulous job. She takes the stress out of all the details. I love the variety she offers and the private transfers to and from the airport. I’ve recommended Stacey many times for an easy travel experience.

We have worked with Stacey many times to plan travel--from Disney with our kids to romantic adults-only resorts in multiple destinations to Vegas for my 50th birthday. Every single time has been an outstanding experience. From arranging for surprise perks to helping us navigate tricky situations, she's been amazing. In one instance, an incoming hurricane threatened our layover destination and caused our flights to be canceled 48 hours in advance of departure. Stacey saved the day and alleviated SO MUCH stress when she managed to rebook our entire group and get us all to our resort on time so that we never missed a beat. We would have been in a panic had we been on our own! I would highly recommend her (and have many times!) to anyone looking for a smooth, seamless travel experience to any destination at the most affordable price.

We had the best time!! Stacey made this trip spectacular from start to finish. We had nothing to worry about accept having a great experience!! She’s the only person we will be booking thru from now on!! The best!!

From the beginning stages of planning this trip to getting back home to Wheeling, Stacey took the best care of us. We had an absolute blast!

Had a great time in Cancun for a friend's wedding. Highly recommend Stacey. Thank you!

Not only is Stacey a great & fun person to be around, she’s the best when it comes to planning trips! She makes sure you are truly 100% relaxed when on vacation and not having to worry about anything! She planned everything for us and made it possible to have a good time, stress free!

From arrival to departure Stacey worked tirelessly to assure everyone's comfort and enjoyment. Even when we needed to resolve a family booking issue (that was NOT Stacey's fault) she went above and beyond to help us resolve the issue. The venue, the ceremony, and the reception were all executed flawlessly.

Stacey has helped us plan two wonderful trips this year. One to Barbados in March and the second one to Turks and Caicos in July. Both trips were hassel free and very memorable. Everything was just as Stacey had described. She does a fantastic job of explaining everything from flights to meals to swimming pools and to the beach. She is super knowledgeable on the resorts she represents. Her communication with us is top notch, her itinerary is very easily followed, her willingness to answer any questions is great and her availability is very good. We can't wait to plan our next trip in March with her. She has our highest recommendation. Thank you Stacey!!

From the get-go Stacey was wonderful to deal with and guided us through the process. We didn't know what to expect and she gave us a list places from our suggested budget and wants, which helped us seek and find our perfect place for our destination wedding. Stacey was very hands on and answered all of our questions and worries etc., along with all our guests. I would recommend her to my family, friends, and colleagues as she was amazing to work with and helped make our dreams come true!!

Stacey was attentive and very organized when helping us plan our trip! She even greeted us at the resort with gift bags and was there to help us with anything we needed.

She was out in front of everything and very informative. Always going to in the hand.

From the first phone call to Stacey I realized she was extremely good at her job. Throughout the whole process she was very consise and really on top of thins and able to answer any questions. I was very surprised to see she was actually on the premises when we arrived at our destination

Stacey has booked several vacations for me. (Alaska,, Jamaica, Punta Cana…)She always made excellent recommendations for resorts and locations to vacation when I wasn’t sure where I wanted to go. When I knew where I wanted to go she gave great advice regarding activities. She is very thorough. She does everything to make vacation easy like transfers to and from airports and assistance when available through customs in other countries. Stacey has traveled so many places,, she can plan anyone a great vacation!!!

Stacey is wonderful! She helped me so much during my wedding in Covid. We had to rebook everyone and she made it as stress free as possible. She was so great my best friend also used her for her wedding in Mexico. She greeted us with welcome bags and made sure we all were situated and checked in all the time during our stay. She is the best travel agent slash wedding coordinator around!

Stacey was an excellent person to work with! From the moment my sister started planning her wedding, Stacey was there to help with everything and anything. She was very quick to respond to any questions and always happy to jump on a call if needed. In addition to helping with all the travel prior to the trip, Stacey also went above and beyond to help us during the actual wedding week and wedding itself. She was truly a pleasure to work with and I’d recommend her to anyone!

From the time from booking to our return home the trip was great. Stacey thought of everything. Her expertise allowed for a great trip and the best wedding ever!

Stacey was such a pleasant and efficient communicator! Everything was very well-explained & super timely. Would definitely recommend her & will consider using her again! This was my first time using a travel agent, so I don’t have much experience to compare to. That said, I really enjoyed working with Stacey. The only reason I submitted 4 stars were: 1) our room was not the layout we requested (received 2 fulls instead of a king) & there was lack of communication with our excursion being cancelled. I can’t imagine this was at the fault of Kim, but it did affect the trip.

Best trip ever because of Stacey!

Stacey made our planning and booking process super easy! She provided a ton of information, was quick to respond, and even welcomed us to our resort upon arrival.

Stacey was readily available to answer any questions and provide guidance. She made the trip seamless with no hiccups!

Stacey was super helpful while planning my first trip to Mexcio. She made everything so clear and easy and everything was as expected once we arrived. Would recommend to anyone planning to travel for a destination wedding.

From the moment our group started planning for my friend’s wedding at the Majestic Resort in Costa Mujeres, Stacey was an absolute gem. She was so nice, super accommodating, and lightning-fast with responses. She made sure our entire crew was on the same flight (major win for pre-vacation airport mimosas), coordinated smooth transfers, and was even available on-site at the resort—just in case anything went sideways. Spoiler alert: it didn’t. But knowing Stacey was there felt like having a travel fairy godmother nearby. Every single day at the resort was top-tier. She made the whole experience feel effortless, luxurious, and just plain FUN. If you’re planning a trip and want someone who’s got your back (and your sunglasses), Stacey Ackley is your go-to. She’s the reason our vacation was smooth, stress-free, and full of tropical cocktails. ???? 10/10 would travel with Stacey again. Can we book her for every vacation from now on?

Stacey was amazing!! Everything was very organized and simplified. She set up all of our transfers, excursions and even a romantic dinner. We made memories that will last forever. She gave us great recommendations and we will absolutely book with her again.

It was great working with Stacey! She was very helpful and answered all our questions. Contacted us with any major details and right before anything was due/before the trip.

Stacey always helps us plan the most amazing vacations. She has gone above and beyond to make our vacation dreams a reality especially when my husband broke his foot. She helped us get everything switched to when we could enjoy our vacation. Thanks so much for the 11 years of vacation planning you have done for us!

My husband, myself, and our group of friends have been using Stacey since 2016. Normally 2 trips a year, with sometimes a small group of 4 to as many as 10 couples so 20 ppl. We have been to several different resorts and many different places. She never dissappoints, she goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect for us. Over the years she has had surprises for us as resorts we have traveled to. Which makes our beautiful vacations even more exciting. Never a flaw in any of our trips, always keeping us posted on changes with flights, info on excurtions, advice on resorts to go to. I truly cant say enough about Stacey, we are more than pleased with every trip we do. I give ppl her info all the time, she has a amazing passion for her work. She always gets us to a resort that is comfortable for our group. I just had her book a trip for myself and my 14 year old nephew last July. I felt totally safe with it just being him and I in Mexico. From our flights, transport to and from airport, as well as the rssort. Stacey is beyond Amazing, and we are truly grateful for all she does! Myself, husband and friends all have very busy lives, so using her makes planning a vacation stress free!Use her and you will not be dissappointed!

We have been booking our vacations with Stacey for many years now. She is the best to help set up our vacation, including flights, hotels, and our transfer to the resort. She is always available if we have any questions.

We have booked with Stacey for three separate vacations over the last 3 years and couldn’t ask for a more detailed, dedicated and knowledgeable person to work with. She knows the resorts and the areas, listens to what you are looking for and always delivers the best service. I will use her for all my future travel. She goes above and beyond and will ensure everything is perfect for you on every vacation. Absolutely the best!

Stacey has done an awesome job for us.. she has planned our destination wedding, and four other trips for us. I would only use her!! She gets us great deals and communicates everything well. She is great!

Stacey is the best travel agent that we could ever use. We have been using her for many years. She is the most dependable, kind, courteous, thoughtful person. She does an excellent job. She more than meets our needs.

Stacey is always very informative for every trip I’ve booked with her, always answers my questions in a timely manner. Every trip that she has booked for my family has been amazing!!

Stacey thoughtfully planned and organized our week in Iceland. From scheduling every excursion to booking the perfect hotel & transport services - we couldn’t have asked for more. It felt like a total VIP trip and we couldn’t appreciate her time and services more. We will absolutely use her again and again! Thank you!!!

Stacey was the travel agent we chose for our wedding in Mexico. She was absolutely amazing helping us plan and answering any questions we had! She was always super quick to respond and so easy to talk to! She ended up coming to Mexico to help us with the wedding and she was an absolute pleasure to work with!! We will be using her for any future trips. I cannot recommend her enough!
