About

Travel planning is designed to be seamless, personalized, and stress-free. I specialize in creating customized trips for families, couples, and luxury travelers, handling every detail from flights and resorts to exclusive experiences so you can simply enjoy the journey. Through my global travel partnerships and industry connections, I’m often able to access preferred rates, perks, and upgrades you won’t find on your own. My clients also receive dedicated support before, during, and after their trip. Most importantly, I treat every vacation as if it were my own carefully planned, thoughtfully curated, and tailored to exactly what you’re looking for.

Had a wonderful experience using Ventures By Elise. Elise herself was very agreeable, friendly, and able to understand our needs. The whole process of booking a room was so much easier than if we had spent hours ourselves online looking for a place to stay. We had a nice room in a good hotel at a reasonable price (and enjoyed the free cookies, too!) Thanks, Elise

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Free! Most people don't realize that we don't make our money from you, we get it from the hotels, cruise lines, excursion companies, etc.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I have a quick and easy form, depending on your type of trip, that the customer can fill out for me and then I provide quotes and itineraries from that point forward!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a licensed travel advisor and the founder of Ventures By Elise. I hold IATA and CLIA credentials, which allow me to work directly with airlines, cruise lines, and top resorts worldwide. I also complete ongoing training and certifications with major destinations, hotels, and travel partners so I can stay up to date on the best resorts, experiences, and exclusive perks available to my clients. This professional training allows me to provide personalized travel planning, insider recommendations, and access to special rates and amenities that travelers often can’t find on their own, whether it’s a luxury vacation, honeymoon, family trip, or group getaway.
