Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or going on your first vacation, I would love to help!

I’m the proud owner of Personal Escape, a travel agency that specializes in creating fully customized and unique vacations around the world.

The Wedding Memories

With our vast experience in planning destination weddings, we have come across numerous unforeseen obstacles that necessitated our flexibility and quick thinking.

 For example, there was a time when the bride’s mother showed up in a full white wedding dress, and we also dealt with the challenge of divorced parents who were hesitant to share the same resort.

Another wedding, the best man unexpectedly arrived without any arrangements and needed accommodations for ten guests.

Despite these hurdles, we handled each scenario with skill and professionalism, ensuring that you could unwind and truly savor your special day without worry.

Specialization

You have so much on your plate with planning a wedding and day - to - day life. Let me take the stress away ~ its my specialty. I handle the details so you can relax and enjoy!

Tell me about your travel dreams so I can help turn them into reality. 

Some people dream about dining on the beach at sunset, while others wish for a vacation full of adventure and activity. Many people also want a mix of both leisure and adventure, and I can make that happen! No matter your wishlist, I’ll work with you to ensure you do everything you want at your own pace.

Some of my recent honeymoon bookings include:

Sue was the best travel agent we could've ever worked with. My husband is very indecisive and she worked so hard in sending us all the info and options every time he changed his mind. Our honeymoon was phenomenal and it was all thanks to Sue!

Breana I.

Susan was so helpful with choosing where to go for my honeymoon. She updated us with any changes and gave us options for hotels.

Michelle W.

I used Sue to help with my honeymoon trip to Italy. I’ve never using a travel agent before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but Sue was a JOY to work with. She’s incredibly knowledgeable - I asked for recommendations for excursions and was not disappointed by anything she picked. She is also very responsive, responding to my email inquiries in a matter of minutes. She even sent us a little gift to say congratulations. I highly recommend her, especially if the idea of planning a wedding AND honeymoon at the same time.

I can’t recommend Susan enough! She took care of flights, hotels and tours for our trip to Paris & Nice. She even gave us a heads up about construction delays we may encounter. Can’t wait to work with her again!

Lenore G.

This was my first time using a travel agent, but Susan was wonderful. She answered so many questions for us and was constantly sending us so many quotes from a bunch of different resorts. She made the planning process so easy and stress free. We had an issue with our honeymoon as there was a hurricane coming in the day we were supposed to fly. She quickly handled it for us and got us onto the next possible flight out and we didn’t have to lift a finger. I can’t thank her enough for all of her help!

Alyssa B.

Fabulous trip to Disney World and on a Disney Cruise planned by Sue. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. She easily answered my concerns and addressed all of our needs. The service was just outstanding. We had an incredible time and can’t wait for the next trip!

Joann C.

Susan was amazing with helping us book our trip, I highly recommend.

Fred M.

I worked with Susan to plan my honeymoon and I'm so happy with that decision. Susan was always so friendly and quick to respond. We even received a sweet wedding gift from her, it was a wonderful personal touch. Susan curated the perfect itinerary for us through Spain and Portugal, assisting us with hotels, flights, and car transfers. After planning a wedding, the last thing I wanted to do was also plan our honeymoon too. Susan planned everything seamlessly, all we had to do was show up! I'd highly recommend working with Susan and Personal Escape Travel.

Lauren F.

Highly recommend. Susan was great to work with! She helped us narrow down our wish list and come up with a trip to Mallorca and the South of France. She was imaginative, easy to communicate with, and always responsive. Our return flight ended up getting cancelled and Susan jumped right in to help us troubleshoot. Thank you Susan for helping us plan the honeymoon of our dreams! Can't wait to book our next trip with you.
