About Me

As your Specialist, I'm here to help make the planning process as stress-free as possible. Along with assisting in planning your perfect day, I will happily share my expertise and serve as a point-of-contact for your guests. I have over 10 years of experience in working with couples. My goal is to make your special occasion as wonderful as you've always imagined!

Within my 10 years working with couples, I have held jobs with Hyatt Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Sandals & Beaches Resorts, and I have been with DestinationWeddings.com for the last three and half years. While working with DestinationWeddings.com, I have become a top producer with Karisma Hotels, AIC Hotel Group, and Palace Resorts. In my first year, I won the Rockstar Rookie Award for the entire company and in 2018 I won top producer for Karisma Resorts. Below are a few comments from my past weddings:

“THANK YOU so so much for working with L and me for the past year to ensure perfect travel experiences for all 44 of us to Mexico for our wedding. I can honestly say that thanks to you each guest is more than likely going to travel again soon because of the smooth, first international trip they experienced”

“Lars made it so easy! One of our best mini vacations.”

“Our destination specialist, Lars, was a great tour guide for he made sure our experience here was one to never forget and stayed on top of things from the moment we arrived until we departed, Lars communicated well and took care of us. I would definitely recommend this resort to anyone for the price is reasonable, food and customer service is great, location is great, & there is a lot you can do in this area as far as excursions. I will be back!!”

Corporate Travel Review
Reviewed By Hazel - Chicago, IL | Traveled to USA
Most people think that they don’t need a professional travel agent. After all, we can book everything online. On the recommendation of my son, I started working with Lars Federhar, owner of Alternative Travel Services (ATS). He has been planning my business and personal travel for almost a year. In addition to the obvious benefit of saving time, his experience as a seasoned traveler himself comes into play on most of my trips. He has in-depth knowledge of the travel and hospitality industry, as well as insights into activities and places to eat and drink in most major cities. The real value of a travel agent becomes apparent when your plans go awry. Lars has helped me navigate cancelled flights, delays and lost luggage, as well as upgrades at hotels. I can get on with my work while Lars works through my travel issue and provides me with options for resolution. I heartily recommend ATS and Lars

Most Organized Travel Agent!
Reviewed By Shamone Edwards - Ferndale, MI | Traveled to Puerto Vallarta ~ Jalisco ~ Mexico
Lars is such a great spirit to work with! He was prompt, professional and personal. I appreciated his expertise and advise when I needed it. He coordinated the travel arrangements of my 53 wedding guests. I had no complaints and no worries on his organization. My husband and I would not have done this with without his help. We didn't have to deal with any of the nauances of gathering our family and friends together and collecting money for the trip, he handled it, different personalities and ALL, he got it done with a smile on his face! I appreciate the services. Now whenever I'm planning an international trip I'll always work with him and his team. If I trusted him with my wedding travels I'll forever trust him with any other travel arrangements.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Outstanding trip to Italy thanks to Lars
Reviewed By Dan Walkovitz - Denver, Colorado | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
I have worked with Lars on a number of trips, including an amazing trip to Italy. There is no one better, I am sure. when talking with him, I never felt rushed; to the contrary, he reached for issues to discuss that were pertinent but that I would not have thought about. His arrangements were impeccable. Air and VRBO experiences he arranged were outstanding. I cannot recommend him highly enough. thanks, Lars, for a great experience. BTW -- if you are traveling abroad, be sure to get the travel insurance. That proved to be very important to have on our trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
