Luxury Travel Experiences
Crafted with Care. Elevated with Intention
Luxury travel is about more than first-class tickets or five-star resorts—it’s about curating every detail to feel effortless, exclusive, and unforgettable. Over the years, I’ve designed and managed a range of high-end travel programs that prioritize white-glove service, seamless logistics, and once-in-a-lifetime moments.
From welcome gifts that surprise and delight to perfectly timed excursions and private group dinners, I bring a calm, creative approach to building experiences that feel both luxurious and personal.
​
Highlights Include:
-
South Africa | 160-Person Incentive Program
Two hotel properties, private charter flights, custom excursions, and nightly themed gifting. Guests enjoyed curated group dinners with scenic backdrops and storytelling moments that deepened connection. -
Ireland | 55-Person VIP Experience
A dual-location journey featuring high-touch travel services, small-group dining experiences, gifting suites, and white-glove transportation. Every guest interaction was treated like a moment of hospitality. -
Many more | Corporate Retreats & Incentive Trips. Balanced agendas combining leadership sessions with luxury experiences—like private yacht charters, vineyard dinners, and curated excursions that reflect the destination’s best.
​
Whether it’s creating a gifting suite that feels like a boutique, or ensuring each guest’s journey flows with ease, I thrive in environments where expectations are high—and details matter. With a strong network of global partners and a passion for meaningful hospitality, I bring both elegance and efficiency to every program I touch.

Weddings
Ceremonies & Receptions
Simple, Elegant Utah Weddings
Over the years, I’ve had the joy of planning and executing dozens of intimate, meaningful weddings across Utah—from garden ceremonies at Thanksgiving Point to cozy mountain gatherings and rustic barn receptions. My focus is always on creating a smooth, beautiful day for the couple, with thoughtful touches that reflect their style and story.
​
Some of my favorite examples include:
-
A minimalist summer wedding in Lehi from 10 - 500 guests, sunset photos in the gardens, and a curated local dessert table.
-
A cozy winter ceremony in Midway, complete with warm cider, candlelit tables, and snow-dusted mountain views.
-
An outdoor ceremony under the trees followed by a barn dinner with family-style service and acoustic music.
Whether it was handling last-minute weather changes, coordinating multiple vendors, or making sure grandma got her special seat, I’ve learned that simple doesn’t mean easy—but it always means special.
