    First time to Italy

    This is the first time I have worked with Gretchen and perfect honeymoons. Gretchen’s professionalism and knowledge exceeded my expectations. It was the first time we have traveled to Italy. For 2 1/2 weeks we were in Rome, the Amalfi coast, and Tuscany. Gretchen made sure the hotels and transportation were specific due to the fact, my husband had knee surgery two weeks before our trip. The only thing I would do different is spend more time in Florence and Rome and less time in the Amalfi coast. We stayed in Positano for six days. If I could do it over again I would stay in Sorrento ( as this was Gretchen‘s recommendation during the planning process of our trip, but I was dead set on Positano )and take the ferry to Positano for a day or two. I am so thankful Gretchen took care of all the details that never would occur to me. One example is we arrived in Rome at 8 o’clock in the morning and check in for our hotel wasn’t until four. It never occurred to me to reserve the room for the night before so I could actually get cleaned up take a nap and start my vacation.

    Gretchen is the best!

    Gretchen is so amazing, helpful and knowledgeable. We have used her to plan so many of our vacations. Starting with our 25th anniversary trip to Jamaica, to Hawaii for our 30th with 9 of of us, then to Mexico this summer to celebrate our 40th with an additional 13 of our children, their spouses and our grandchildren. A few other great destinations sprinkled in between. She has sent us to some awesome resorts and recommends excursions and places to explore. She always keeps us informed and returns call within a reasonable time. She demands perfection from the resorts and has worked things out to everyone’s satisfaction when some issues have arisen. She is our go to for all our big trips. Our daughters and other family members now use Gretchen for their trips and I will continue to highly recommend her to others.

    Perfect Honeymoons is the best!

    They made our honeymoon incredibly special - every little detail was thought of and personalized. Couldn't have dreamed of a better experience.

    We Loved Our Experience!

    We have used Gretchen to plan several of our trips, most recently a 3-week trip across Greece and Europe. She seamlessly organized stays in 10 different cities/hotels, transportation, private drivers between hotels and airports, tours/tour guides, reservations, the list goes on. Every detail was planned out perfectly. She also had great recommendations of how long to stay in different places, where to stay, what to do, and hooked it up in some faaabulous hotels. We felt like she had maximized our budget and booked incredible options, stays, and experiences for the budget she worked with. We felt the same with trips she booked for us in the past, as well. We have recommended Gretchen to many friends and family and plan to continue using her in the future when we're ready to plan our next trip!

    Wonderful travel agency

    My family has been using Gretchen at Perfect Honeymoons for many years. She has sent us to Jamaica, Hawaii, and Mexico. She is so friendly and professional. She knows so much about traveling and how to pick the best places and activities and if she doesn't know, she finds out! We have truly enjoyed our travel experiences because of Gretchen's help and expertise.

    Lions and Zebras and Elephants, oh my

    My wife and I recently returned from the most wonderful, unforgettable, and moving trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe, and none of it would have been possible if it wasn’t for Perfect Honeymoons, Gretchen and a whole lotta of her patience.

    When we got married in 2019, I convinced my then-fiancée, now-wife that waiting a year to do the honeymoon was obviously the most logical thing to do. In hindsight, probably some of the worst decision making I have made in our marriage (so far).

    After emerging from the spring of 2020 with a newfound appreciation for hand sanitizer and disdain for video conferences, we decided we now definitely needed something to look forward to. We reached out to a few different travel agents, one of which was Gretchen and right off the bat, we knew Gretchen was the perfect fit for us. She took the time to understand what we like to do, were interested in, etc. rather than telling us what she would do - something common from others

    Gretchen truly made us feel safe, another thing that felt particularly unique given everything else going on. We felt safe that we could ask any questions no matter how silly, safe that she would set up a trip that was exactly what we wanted without going outside of our budget, and safe that our trip was going to be one we never forgot. In fact, I think the only time that Gretchen rocked the boat was when she talked about her prior trips to Africa which led us to abandon our plans to go to Italy and instead go there – something I am so glad we decided to do.

    In the lead up to the trip, Gretchen meticulously worked through our itinerary and nit-picky feedback to develop a fine-tuned trip that allowed us to do everything we knew we wanted to do, plus many things we hadn’t yet realized we would love, but that Gretchen already knew we would. We were then briefed thoroughly on logistical expectations (i.e., what to pack, what not to pack, what forms would be needed, etc.) but also on little snippets that she had picked up from all of her trips previously that we remembered when we were there – her recommendation to try biltong has now led to a full on addiction on my end.

    When we finally headed out on the trip, some two years after we had originally contacted Gretchen, we were able to be free from any questions related to planning, and instead able to focus purely on being present in the moment and taking in all that Africa had to offer us. We had a handy little booklet that Gretchen had put together that told us exactly where we needed to be and at what time, but still had so much flexibility built in so that we could still feel freedom to do whatever we wanted.

    To be clear, the fact that it took two years was not down to Gretchen, but down to us. We waited to ensure the timing was right on our end, and Gretchen never was upset or pushy about that. In fact, while we weren’t ready for that trip just yet, she actually planned a trip for us to go to Mexico for a week; a very different trip, but also very enjoyable.

    When it came to our honeymoon, we felt pressure to ensure that we were going to have this once in a lifetime experience, and that no matter how much online research we did, we were going to fall short. By reaching out to Perfect Honeymoons and Gretchen, the only reason we didn’t get a once in a lifetime experience is because the trip was so perfect that we know we will have to go and do it all again.

    Can’t wait to work on our next itinerary together

    Don’t hesitate-go with Perfect Honeymoons.

    We loved working with Gretchen and Steve on our honeymoon! They are super knowledgeable, easy to work with, and know all the spots to go. If you’re contemplating if you should have someone help plan your honeymoon, the answer is undoubtedly YES. It makes it that much more relaxing and stress-free, you don’t have to second guess any decisions, and you can rest assured you’ll be taken care of

    Perfect Honeymoon!

    Gretchen helped us with our honeymoon, and she was amazing! She made sure to contact us often to check-in and answer any questions we had before we left. Our trip had everything we wanted and everything was taken care of, so we spent the whole time relaxing. We will definitely use Gretchen for future trips!

    Literally perfect honeymoon

    Our honeymoon was SO wonderful! Thank you soo much for your help on this!! The hotel was perfect and the whole week turned out dreamy. Daniel and I both LOVED the island and it was the perfect getaway we wanted and needed!

    Thank you SO MUCH for your recommendations. We were able to visit a few of the sites you guys told us about and they were GREAT.

    I really can’t thank Susan and Gretchen enough for their help and guidance. It definitely made a huge difference in planning this special moment for us.

    So helpful, understanding, and patient

    My husband and I used Gretchen for our honeymoon and were also moving states and planning a wedding all in 2 months. Her service was so patient and incredible especially due to the fact we were all over the place in where we wanted to go she was incredibly helpful with suggestions and understanding our desires.
    We finally landed on a spot domestically in Hawaii because my husband had no passport and it was 5 days before we said I do. Gretchen managed to book all our hotels, car rental, activities, flights and dining in a matter of days before we left. Not only that but we also changed our minds and wanted to stay in another location midway through the honeymoon simply to get a new environment as we hadn’t thought through our timing very well. As frustrating as this process could be Gretchen helped us with the biggest kindest smile on her face to make sure we were happy and enjoying ourselves. I couldn’t say enough thanks to her service as there is no way I could have probably had a honeymoon had it not been for her and her great experience in the industry as well as service.
    We are so grateful we used Gretchen and Perfect Honeymoons because it was.
    Thank you so much! Chelsea and Matt

    Best honeymoon imaginable

    We worked with Gretchen for our honeymoon last year, and she was FANTASTIC. Total pro. We had the vacation of a lifetime. More importantly, Gretchen knew exactly what we were looking for and found us two amazing resorts around Cancun that were better than we could have imagined. She took care of every detail, so all we needed to do was pack and get to the airport! Despite the fact that we had to reschedule multiple times during COVID, Gretchen took it in stride and took care of everything. I had never expected to use a travel agent until last year, but I will absolutely be working with Gretchen and Perfect Honeymoons again. Their rate is affordable and I'm sure we saved far more than we paid -- they're worth every penny.

    Such a great help

    Susan and Gretchen were such a big help with our honeymoon, I don't know if we would have gotten through everything without them. They picked great destinations for us to choose from and worked within our price range. Then when the day finally came, they were instrumental in getting us to our destination when the airline canceled our flight. They were always right on top of everything that we needed, so we're so grateful we found them. We'll definitely use them again for future travel.

    The best honeymoon!!

    Gretchen and her husband were amazing to work with. They planed the best honeymoon we could have possibly asked for. Gretchen was great to work with during a stressful time (covid) and made wedding planning less stressful, by being super responsive (even when she was on vacation) and giving us tons of recommendations and feedback to stay at the best places!

    Exceptional!

    Jim helped my husband and I adjust our honeymoon plans during the pandemic, and we were so pleased with the new trip that he coordinated. He was responsive when we needed additional help on our trip, and everything was beyond our expectations. We would recommend Jim to anyone searching for travel assistance, and we hope to work with him in our future travels as well.

    Perfect Honeymoons's reply:

    Courtney,

    thank you for the opportunity to be such a special part of your lives. I am so glad we were able to make the honeymoon to Cabo happen despite the crazy year. It was my pleasure to work with you and with you and Anthony nothing but the best!

    Cheers,
    Jim

    It was so helpful to have Jim take care of all the details for our honeymoon! We are forever grateful for his ability to adapt and change our plans as we needed in the middle of COVID.

    Perfect Honeymoons's reply:

    Theresa,

    So glad we were able to shift gears and get you to a different honeymoon destination at the last minute. Maybe we try Grenada for the anniversary trip :-).

    Happy New Year,

    Always there for you!

    We can't say enough how valuable Gretchen has been to our honeymoon planning. We started planning our honeymoon a year before we went, and had frequent hour long discussions with Gretchen until she helped us put together our perfect honeymoon. Unfortunately as everyone knows, covid came. Yet that didn't deter Gretchen. Her mission was to give us a PERFECT honeymoon. She helped us replan multiple scenarios, never getting weary. Despite the multiple restrictions in place, we finally found an even better honeymoon for us. What makes Gretchen even more special is that she doesn't just stop helping you once your booked. She stayed in touch with us till the flight, on the trip, through several complications that we faced, and even after our honeymoon. She's even just great to talk to on the phone -- we learned a lot! She has not only planned our perfect honeymoon, but she plans our perfect vacations too. We could not recommend Gretchen more highly and can't wait for our friendship to continue into the future.

    Professionalism and Service at its finest!

    Perfect Honeymoons is phenomenal! My husband and I have worked with this company for over 10 years for our travel needs. From our honeymoon, to birthday trips to anniversary getaways, they have helped us create lasting memories with such professionalism and ease. Gretchen, in particular, has been amazing! She is very knowledgeable about just about any travel destination you can think of! She can give you personal experiences from her our travels and share experience from other clients to help you decide on the perfect getaway. Even in the times of uncertainty with Covid, Gretchen has proven to be someone we can count on for our travel needs. We had originally booked an anniversary trip to Hawaii through Perfect Honeymoons and had to make last minute changes due to Covid. She was able to keep us calm through the process. She reassured us that we would still have a perfect getaway and she delivered! She changed everything around without us having to lift a finger and we were able to move our trip to St Lucia which was everything we wanted and more! Love Gretchen and we will continue to work with her in the future.

    Our Honeymoon to French Polynesia!

    This is long over due, but Gretchen was amazing to work with for our honeymoon! My husband and I had never worked with a travel agent before our honeymoon, but will use Gretchen for all of our future trips! From the first time I contacted Gretchen, throughout the planning process and even when we got home from our honeymoon she was very knowledgeable, helpful and attentive. Our honeymoon to French Polynesia was postponed due to COVID, but Gretchen kept us in the loop the whole time and made our whole honeymoon experience so easy! I can’t say enough how happy we are that we used Perfect Honeymoons for our honeymoon!

    lifelong business!!!!


    My fiancé and I contacted Gretchen about a semi-last minute honeymoon to Africa. She was so quick to respond and incredibly
    enthusiastic throughout our entire planning process! After postponing twice, our “last minute honeymoon” turned into a one year anniversary trip - a trip that was more incredible than we could have ever imagined. Gretchen’s genuine enthusiasm for our trip made my husband and I even more excited, and the trip exceeded our already very high expectations. She did literally everything, and took care of every last detail. Thankfully we didn’t have any huge hiccups, however Gretchen was available 24/7 throughout our trip if needed! When we got back, i felt like I was telling my best friend about our trip! It’s so obvious that she passionately loves her job, and her clients turn into lifelong friends. I have already recommended Gretchen to a few people, including my friend who is currently planning her honeymoon! We can’t wait to use Gretchen’s expertise again in the future :)

    Beautiful and Absolutely Magnificent!

    I found Perfect Honeymoons on the Internet and immediately took interest due to their high recommendations. I reached out and received a quick response from Steve. He was very helpful and provided a lot of information from the get-go. Steve was very helpful and detailed throughout the booking process. Even when we were unsure where to travel to, he gave his best and honest assessment of the destinations that he had on hand and it gave us a better view of what was best for us. We ended up with Fiji and we’re definitely not disappointed. Steve does his homework because everything that he described before we went was exactly as talked about. Nanuku resort was a blast. All of the activities and people were so wonderful. We definitely recommend Perfect Honeymoons for destination vacations. We’ll do it again once we’re ready!

    Perfect Honeymoons's reply:

    Cruz & Yesi,

    Thank you so much for the kind words. I loved working with both of you and am so very happy you loved Nanuku & Fiji as much as we do! I hope it was the first of many amazing trips you'll have as Mr. & Mrs.! Thanks for letting me be a part of this very special time in your lives.

    All the best,

    Steve
