Why We Should Plan Your Next Destination Event, Together

Consider me your travel best friend when we work together. I want the best adventures possible for you and will give you that concierge level of planning support. Whether you are engaged and looking to get your closest friends and family to your dream tropical destination wedding spot or are looking to plan some luxury travel (think cruises, world travel, and beyond), I’m your go-to gal.

Some of my travel planning specialties include:

  • Multigenerational Trips

  • Romantic Vacations

  • Family Vacations

  • Disney

  • Cruise travel

  • Luxury Travel

  • Group + Corporate Travel

  • Wellness Retreats 

  • Girls Trips

  • Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties 

  • World Travel

  • Custom Itineraries in any destination

Plus, I’m here to figure out the best options for you from destination wedding packages, the best travel excursions for your interests and personality, wedding travel logistics, and planning, all the way to corporate retreat locations and and how to get your entire family to your family vacation spot with ease.

So you can see why people work with me and end up continuing our working relationship through so many firsts: your bachelor and bachelorette travel all the way to the wedding and then planning your family vacations–and even that corporate travel retreat your company put you in charge of. Once we’ve connected, I know how we work together, what you enjoy, and how to incorporate that into planning (even when you have multiple other individuals with their own likes and dislikes involved!)

How Are Travel, Wedding, and Event Planning Connected?

You might see our services and wonder what our main focus is and that is THE DETAILS. When you think of travel planning, wedding planning, and event management, the details are key. One wrong step in your travel itinerary, a blip by a wedding vendor, or a miscommunication by the event space can feel like the world is falling apart.

That's where Highland Events comes in. The biggest driver behind why we connect these three offerings is because, beyond the subject matter, the humans behind these services are what we love most!

Our team listens to you, takes into account everything you want out of this special moment, and takes care of all the fine details to get things finalized for you.

  • Do you want to ensure that on day three of your trip to Bermuda you get to scuba dive with your family? Done!

  • Do you want red roses on each table at your destination wedding in Grenada? Sure thing!

  • Do you want to ensure that the event you are hosting has top-quality vegan options from a local vendor? We're on it!

You can see the connections we are drawing between our services come down to making this special moment for you, your loved ones, or even your company everything you dreamed of.

Plus, our clients have carried us between services. Our wedding clients then become our travel clients as their family grows and travel becomes a bit more complex and it's wonderful to see them through many life events!

Designed to keep you saying YES!

In the heart of Highland Events lies a boundless passion for the extraordinary, a fervor for curating once-in-a-lifetime experiences that leave hearts brimming with joy.

We thrive on weaving travel and tailor-made events into unforgettable stories, crafting moments where love and celebration take center stage. From the grandest gestures to the tiniest details, we pour our hearts into every event, ensuring your journey with us is nothing short of magical.
