About Me

Destination weddings, Honeymoons, All-inclusives

I started working in the travel industry in 1984.  Over the years have had the pleasure to experience many types of travel as well as destinations. Beginning my career by getting a degree in travel in Denver, CO  and working with both corporate and leisure clients in the Tabor Center downtown.  After a move to Nebraska to be closer to family, and building my own agency business based on word of mouth and satisfied customer referrals.  I now enjoy assisting clients nationwide with a base in both Nebraska and Colorado.

I have had the pleasure of retaining some prominent clients from all over the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.  Over the years evolving base clients and their family travel, passing down to their childrens weddings, and referral of new vacationers.

My love of the travel industry and commitment to my clients "door-to-door" service is what makes me unique.  Customizing domestic and international travel based on client interest and budget.  

Most recent unique trip booked:  Group of senior citizens who wanted a trip to Greece based on locations in a book they had read in their club.  The trip was hosted by me personally.  This hand built itinerary was brought to life with a specifically chosen local tour guide who truly specialized in the areas.  We even had a running event at the original Olympic sight, complete with an olive branch crowning ceremony.  The 2nd portion of the trip included a cruise to the Greek islands and Turkey.  Great time for relaxing, visiting more locations and enjoying stories every night before returning home.

With the help of a destination wedding expert this can be a truly wonderful and unique way to have your wedding combined with the honeymoon of your dreams.

Your love story deserves a backdrop that is as unique as your love itself.

America's Finest City
Reviewed By OTT 4 - Lincoln | Nebraska | USA | Traveled to San Diego | California | USA
I recently traveled to San Diego for a business meeting, and Darlene Sheppard with Paradise Travel handled all of my travel arrangements. As always, she did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend Darlene to friends, family, and colleagues — and I have done so in the past. One example that stands out was when Southwest Airlines canceled my son and daughter-in-law’s flights home from New York after the holidays. My son needed to be back in Denver the next day for work, and Darlene quickly stepped in to help secure alternative travel arrangements, saving the day during a very stressful situation. For my recent trip, Darlene coordinated my airfare, hotel accommodations, and ground transportation seamlessly. She selected a hotel that was just five minutes from my business meeting and perfectly situated for enjoying San Diego's Bayfront, Gaslamp Quarter, and Coronado Beach areas during my downtime. Darlene consistently provides exceptional service, attention to detail, and peace of mind when traveling. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication to her clients make her an outstanding travel advisor. I truly appreciate all of her help and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable travel professional.
