About Me

Destination Weddings & Large Groups Specialist
Destination Weddings & Large Groups Specialist

Planning travel for two people can be challenging. Planning travel for more than 100 guests requires organization, communication, attention to detail, and a proactive approach.

One of my current projects involves coordinating a destination wedding at a family-friendly all-inclusive resort for more than 100 guests. The group includes approximately 50 reserved rooms and travelers arriving from multiple locations, each with unique needs, travel preferences, and scheduling considerations.

The selected resort is one of the most sought-after destination wedding properties in the Caribbean because of its recently renovated accommodations, beautiful beachfront setting, swimmable turquoise waters, family-friendly atmosphere, and extensive amenities for guests of all ages.

My role extends far beyond booking rooms. I assist with guest communication, room block management, reservation tracking, payment deadlines, travel documentation, resort coordination, transportation planning, and ongoing guest support. My goal is to serve as a central point of contact so that couples can focus on their wedding rather than managing travel logistics.

Throughout the planning process, the bride and groom have consistently expressed appreciation for my regular updates, responsiveness, organization, and ability to manage multiple moving parts simultaneously. For many couples, one of the biggest concerns with destination weddings is ensuring guests receive accurate information and timely communication. I help bridge that gap and create a smoother experience for everyone involved.

Large group travel requires more than booking expertise. It requires relationship management, problem solving, and the ability to keep dozens of travelers informed and organized throughout the planning process.

Services I provide include:

• Destination weddings & honeymoons

• Group room blocks

• Family reunions

• Milestone celebrations

• Corporate incentive travel

• Celebration groups

• Multi-generational travel

• Resort group contracts

• Guest communication management

• Transportation coordination

• Pre-departure travel support

Whether your group consists of 20 travelers or more than 100 guests, I provide structured planning, personalized service, and ongoing support to help ensure a successful travel experience for everyone involved.

The Perfect Honeymoon Escape
Reviewed By Stephanie K - Brenham, TX | Traveled to Saint Lucia | St. Kitts and Nevis | Caribbean
Ashley planned our honeymoon to Sandals La Toc in Saint Lucia, and everything exceeded our expectations. She managed every detail from booking through our return home and was always quick to respond whenever we had questions. When we ran into an issue applying a first responder discount, she handled the entire process and resolved it for us. Having an experienced advisor manage the details allowed us to relax and enjoy our honeymoon. We could not have chosen a better travel advisor.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Stress-Free Planning for 30 Guests
Reviewed By Viviana R - Katy, TX | Traveled to Caribbean
Planning a cruise for 30 people could have been overwhelming, but Ashley made the entire process easy and organized. From payment plans to coordinating resort logistics after we docked, every detail was handled. She kept everyone informed, answered questions quickly, and ensured our group had everything we needed before departure. Thanks to her planning and communication, we were able to focus on enjoying the trip instead of managing logistics. I would absolutely book with Ashley and Aspiring Vacations again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Planning for a Family of 20
Reviewed By Dr. Sonal T - Cypress, TX | Traveled to Caribbean
Our family of 20, ranging in age from 5 to 70, traveled on a Christmas cruise that Ashley coordinated for us. She carefully selected staterooms close together and took the time to understand our family's needs before making recommendations. Managing travel for a large group can be complicated, but Ashley made the process simple and stress-free. We highly recommend her services for family vacations and group travel.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
