Thank you for planning my birthday girls trip
in Miami, the view from our hotel was
amazing. We loved the itinerary that you
provided and we had a ball at Mangos.
Bridgette
The Dubai trip was incredible. Everything was seamless. Can’t wait for the next one!
Shaunta
I couldn’t believe how luxurious everything was. Tanya made us feel like royalty!
Jazmine
I had a ball on this Caribbean cruise! The live shows were top-tier, and the group vibes were unmatched. I loved the private dinners we had—so special and fun. The gift bags? Chef’s kiss. They had everything I didn’t even know I needed. And beach day? EPIC. Everything was so well thought out. I’m already looking forward to the next one!
Janice
This trip was everything! From the luxe resort to the private dinner on the Gulf Coast, every detail was perfection. My room was stunning, the photo shoot made me feel like a queen, and every moment felt so intentional. I didn’t lift a finger—just showed up and lived my best life. Can’t wait for the next one!
Roy
Man, I got beat by a rookie—but I had a blast doing it! The golf trip was all vibes: top-shelf drinks, good laughs, and views that looked like a postcard. The crew bonded like brothers, and honestly, the whole experience was first-class from start to finish. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
