We cannot express how lucky we were to have stubbled upon Deirdre and her expertise! She is so warm and knowledgeable, experienced and attentive to every little detail.

From the beginning, Deirdre helped us for months by communicating and researching the most perfect hotel to fit our destination wedding needs. She spent hours emailing, calling to make sure every detail was perfect. She was so wonderful and patient walking us through the process of putting on a wedding from start to finish.

Our guests raved about working with her and planning out their travel plans. She sent detailed personalized itineraries to all of our guest. Many of my guests are now utilizing her expertise to plan other family trips and she helped us plan our honeymoon to Italy! Deirdre even made time to stop by my bridal shower to make a surprise visit which meant so much to us!

I highly recommend Enlighten Excursions! The trip I wanted to take felt very complicated—I was traveling abroad for the first time in decades, going to multiple locations, and trying to coordinate dates with a friend from another country who would be meeting me. But Deirdre wasn’t fazed at all by these complexities and arranged an absolutely fabulous trip for me that went off without a hitch. Thanks to her efforts, I had a great time with my friend and saw a part of the world I had long dreamed of seeing. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and she is thorough and responsive at every stage of the planning. A true professional!

It's has been quite the welcome back as I hit the ground running once I returned. l could not message you and not say thank you again. You did an amazing job planning and putting everything together for me to ensure I enjoy myself. I had an amazing time and am looking forward to returning to Madrid, Porto and Lisbon in the future. It goes without saying you really took your time thinking and sourcing great experiences to make the trip that much better for me. All three were a vibe I can't articulate. Again, thank you so much.

Also, I'll be reaching out soon I have a date for South Africa and want to start planning for my birthday.

Dear Deirdre,

Thanks again for putting together such an amazing trip for me and my kid in such a ridiculously short amount of time! Not only did you do all the planning, and find us wonderful accommodations and tours, but being able to email you with questions en route made traveling alone with my teen way less stressful than it would otherwise have been. I will certainly be a return client and will tell all my friends! (Plus I owe my brother some kind of gift for connecting us I think.)

Warmest regards,
Alyson Bardsley

Dierdra,

I meant every word on our review. Truly a pleasure working with you. You have made this wedding an absolute success. Everyone had an amazing time with nothing negative to say!

Thank you for your patience with us!

We wanted to share a few highlights of our week.

Thank you.

Hoping to work with you on our Honeymoon trip in August!
