Leisure Travel
A luxury travel advisor is a professional who specializes in curating high-end travel experiences. I work directly with the world’s top hotels and travel brands to secure VIP perks, upgrades, and personalized touches for my clients—at no additional cost to you. Booking with me is the same as booking directly with the hotel.
No—my services are completely fee-free for luxury hotel bookings and leisure travel. I’m compensated through the hotels I work with, not you.
I focus on luxury leisure travel including 5-star hotel bookings, honeymoon planning, wellness retreats, anniversary getaways, and even one-night stays, business trips or weekend getaways. If you’re staying in a 4 or 5-star hotel, I can help. Every itinerary is customized and includes VIP perks like room upgrades, daily breakfast, and spa or resort credits.
Yes! If your reservation was made directly with the hotel (not through third-party sites like Expedia or Booking.com), I can often add exclusive perks—such as complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, early check-in/late check-out, and resort credits—at no cost to you. As a luxury travel advisor with access to a global network of preferred hotel programs, I can enhance eligible bookings even after they’ve been made.
Absolutely! If you enjoy planning your own luxury leisure travel but still want VIP treatment, I’ve got the perfect solution. I offer an easy-to-use, client-facing booking tool that’s pre-loaded with exclusive perks at 5-star hotels worldwide. When you book through this platform, I’m automatically notified and begin the VIP process behind the scenes—securing upgrades, added amenities, and personalized touches, all at no extra cost to you.
Great question. While AMEX FHR offers perks, it’s ultimately a call center experience. As a luxury travel advisor, I provide personalized, human service—and real relationships with luxury hotels around the world. When you book through me, I advocate for you every step of the way. Your reservation is VIP’d twice: once at the time of booking and again before you travel, ensuring you’re top of mind when you check in.
With AMEX, you’ll get a digital confirmation. With me, you get someone behind the scenes proactively working to elevate your stay—with better upgrade priority, special requests handled in advance, and an actual connection to the property.
But at the end of the day, if your FHR rate is better, I can book FHR rates too (or match it)!
While hotel bookings are my specialty, I can absolutely assist with more than just the room. I help coordinate transfers, private tours, dining, spa appointments, and curated experiences upon request. Even better—within my preferred network of luxury hotels, I work with VIP concierge teams dedicated to crafting every part of your stay. I’ll introduce you to these teams to ensure you get the most value out of your booking, with no extra fees. It’s all part of the elevated service I offer as your luxury travel advisor.
I do not book flights. As a luxury travel advisor, my focus is on securing the best luxury hotel bookings and ensuring a seamless, VIP-level stay. Airline regulations can make third-party flight bookings more restrictive and cumbersome for both sides, which is why I recommend booking flights directly or using points when possible.
That said, I’m always here to advise on flight options, compare routes, and help ensure you’re on the most efficient itinerary to match your travel plans. You handle the flights—I’ll handle the 5-star hotels and everything that makes the trip unforgettable.
Corporate Event Venue Sourcing
Corporate event venue sourcing is the process of identifying, vetting, and securing the ideal venue for your event—whether it’s a conference, incentive trip, retreat, or sales meeting. I handle the heavy lifting: gathering proposals, negotiating contracts, and comparing hotel concessions, all at no cost to you. Because the hotels pay me, there’s no fee for planners.
I bring over 15 years of experience planning corporate events from both the in-house and agency sides. I’ve been the client—leading incentive trips, conferences, sales meetings, and executive retreats—so I understand exactly what planners need. Now, I use that knowledge to help you source smarter, negotiate stronger, and ultimately deliver better event outcomes. My goal is to take sourcing off your plate so you can focus on strategy, content, and stakeholder alignment—without sacrificing value or quality.
While I specialize in sourcing hotels with guest rooms for corporate events, I also have access to unique venues like estates, resorts, and private-use properties. Whether you’re planning a luxury business retreat or a multi-day incentive trip, I’ll match your goals with the right space.
I provide venue sourcing for a wide range of programs, including sales kickoffs, executive retreats, incentive travel, conferences, board meetings, team offsites, and luxury business retreats. I also specialize in sports event travel and hospitality programs for corporate clients.
My venue sourcing service is built for planners who want to save time, unlock the best rates, and secure stronger contract terms—without the noise or limitations of online booking platforms. Thanks to our impressive buying power and deep hotel relationships, I’m able to negotiate industry-leading group rates, high-value concessions, and flexible terms tailored to your event goals.
Unlike DMCs, I focus solely on finding and contracting the perfect venue for your corporate meeting, incentive trip, or executive retreat. Once the venue is secured, I’ll personally introduce you to one of my trusted, vetted destination management company partners who can assist with local experiences, transportation, décor, and on-site execution—ensuring every part of your program is handled by the best in the business.
With high-volume buying power and long-standing hotel relationships, I can often unlock better group rates, upgraded amenities, and high-value concessions you won’t get going direct. My clients save money and get more value without the back-and-forth.
From the moment we start, I’ll handle everything: research, RFP distribution, proposal collection, contract negotiation, and introduction to on-property teams. You’ll receive a curated side-by-side comparison of top options—saving you time, money, and stress. In our initial discovery call, I will ask questions about the stakeholders and ensure that the program aligns with the goals.
Yes. As a corporate travel consultant and venue sourcing expert, I’m compensated by the hotels I book—not by you. You get expert-level service, insider access, and priority support without any fees attached.
