About Me

Romance and Sunsets
Romance and Sunsets

Hello! Nice to "virtually" meet you! 

My career in the travel industry began 30 years ago! I went to college and obtained my Travel and Tourism Diploma. My work in the tourism industry led my heart to work in Romance Travel.  

I have established some great relationships, not just with suppliers but also vendors in various popular regions for Destination Weddings and Honeymoons. I am incredibly transparent and honest. I love to help people, I don't like to sell. I am not a sales person. So you will receive genuine, honest and authentic assistance from me. Having done my own Destination Wedding as well, I understand the complexities of booking your group and will take good care of your guests. 

Whether it is a Destination Wedding, Honeymoon, Couples Trip or even a Family Vacation (yes I do those too), I love being a part of assisting with the most important and memorable events of peoples lives. 

If you feel we may be a great fit for a working relationship, I would love to hear from you and looking forward to helping bring your dreams to fruition

Kim is an amazing TA and person. I couldn’t have planned my destination wedding without her. Thanks for helping me plan my best day ever! You are the best!- Jenny B

Kim helped with our DW that ended up being cancelled due to COVID19. She has been amazing helping us deal things and has always looked out for us. This situation would have been way worse if we didn’t have her help.  She has been very caring throughout this process. We highly recommend booking through her! - Daniela L

Dream wedding come true !
Reviewed By Dani - Calgary, AB | Traveled to Puerto Vallarta ~ Jalisco ~ Mexico
Kim made my destination wedding dreams come true. She helped us plan a destination wedding in 2020. From the beginning, Kim was very caring and wanted to ensure we found something within our price range, but also with reputable reviews. We ended up securing a date, which got cancelled due to COVID a month before leaving. Throughout the whole process she was very supportive and patient. She helped us get our money back from the supplier for our original trip (which required lots of effort) and also helped us plan a second date in 2021. She was always very transparent, responsive and definitely had our best interest in mind. We ended up getting an amazing deal for our wedding in Nov. 2021 and had the perfect week with our friends and family. She was a pleasure to work with & we can’t thank her enough!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

2021 Wedding Dreams Palm Beach, Punta cana
Reviewed By FelMiller - Harrow, Ontario | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Having Kim as our travel agent was one of the best decisions we made. Kim helped plan our trip for 13 months. She voiced our concerns to our resort when needed. I never felt alone in any of the trip planning durning COVID. She was always fast to respond.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
