Hired on Thumbtack

I was looking for an agent to book for the Caribbean for our family. This was a formidable task to book multiple flights and hotels for a trip to Grenada and Trinidad especially since I was out of country at the time...but PJ rose to the challenge like a true professional. I cannot wait to hire her again to book some more wonderful trips for me!

And we have, I was excited to get your parents their Mediterranean cruise stateroom last minute, and your immediate family their cruise in Australia! Where to next?

As soon as I got engaged I knew I wanted a destination wedding, but had no idea how to start the process. As soon as I finished my initial phone call with PJ I knew I could trust her to help me through the process. She was so patient with me as we spent almost 2 months researching every possible destination wedding idea I had. I finally made a decision for a Jamaica wedding and feel I made the absolute best decision for our priorities and budget. PJ has helped me build my website, negotiate room rates, and reminds me that wedding planning is actually fun! I know I am asking a lot of my family and friends to go to such lengths to celebrate on my special day but am confident that PJ will make the planning process for them as smooth as possible.

We found PJ over 13 years ago and she helped us put together a number of trips. Rome - Venice, Costa-Rica, Paris, Panama, and Dominican Republic to name a few. The "magic sauce" with PJ is her willingness and desire to tailor a trip and the experiences we have to our likes and dislikes. She is patient and will gracefully endure lots of back and forth to get it perfect. I'm not an easy customer and I expect nothing short of awesome. PJ never lets me down and she will take care of you.... as long as you let her know what you like and are willing to share in the process of sculpting your trip like a piece of art. PJ has friends in the business all over the world so her recommendations are not just from a website. She knows It is quality when she suggests something.

I needed help for an anniversary trip to show my wife that she means so much to me. I'm not good at showing or telling her so I needed an expert to plan something very special. Destination Weddings.travel worked endlessly making me look like her knight in shining armor and we went to Jamaica for our 34th anniversary. Despite lost luggage by the airline, there are things that I know she'll never forget and neither will I. We were upgraded to a honeymoon villa right next to the beach, we're talking huge bubble bath tub, not just some double size. We had a romantic dinner which had roses and a Jamaican saxophonist serenading us during dinner with wine, the beach early in the morning with coffee we had all to ourselves, she loves the beach and picking up shells. One of the biggest surprises was a trip to a concert where we saw and heart Shaggy at a big beach party. I know no one else could have arranged it. PJ's experience made this dream a reality. Now how do I beat our next anniversary after this?

Pamala was well informed as to where we were going, what was needed and what had to be shared. She keep us informed of any and all changes. The destination she chose was perfect minuses the heat and rain. My group will be switching over to her.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We compare pricing and options based on what you ask for and in comparing resorts, rooms and venues we offer what you are dreaming of, the best value and recommend other ideas you might appreciate. Costs and fees fluctuate depending on the services you desire and group special needs. In many cases the resorts and partners we choose cover most of the costs.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Upon receiving your travel inquiry if by email, we review the information, check referrals and request an interview to meet. During that call, we discuss and gain knowledge determining your travel and event needs. Questions help identify your travel requirements, dreams, budget, guest needs and any challenges. Your past travel, what you liked, what you didn't like and what you want more of help us understand and narrow down destination, resorts and experiences you want.
