Hello Beauties!!

Who is ready to ditch the daily grind and head to paradise with me in November?! 🌴🍹😎

We have a few spots left on our women's retreat, and I thought I would share a bit about the "why" behind this experience. We hope you can join us for 4 days of pampering, fun, and relaxation!

Huge shoutout to this amazing, adventure loving couple! During our initial conversation, Shaina & James let me know they were excited about a luxury resort, but were nervous they would get bored spending a week at the pool and beach. So we packed their itinerary full of unique experiences, leaving memories that will last a lifetime! I made sure they were pampered every step of the way, with private drivers and special touches. I feel so lucky to have gotten the chance to show them how fun travel can be!

Like most small business owners, my love languages are ✨online reviews and photos✨ from your incredible getaways.

Emily & Michael just got back from a week in paradise, and shared what it was like to partner with Dazzling Getaways :

"You will NOT regret using Dazzling Getaways & working with Kasey! This was our 2nd time using Kasey while traveling to Mexico. The first time, we were part of a group wedding and received her services as guests to coordinate travel. We appreciated and saw the value of her services so much during that first trip that we decided to utilize her services for our own vacation this time. Here are some highlights worth noting for anyone unsure about using her services:

•Kasey spent an hour with us to learn our preferences, budget, what we considered non negotiable, and what we could do without. Within a week Kasey then curated FOUR amazing trips with all the details needed to help make our final choice - all trips within our budget, but with options to splurge if desired. This step alone saved HOURS of searching.

•Once we decided on our trip, we then were able to work on tweaking the pricing initially quoted based on current deals and specials being advertised through the resort.

•Kasey is SO easy to communicate with and very responsive, prior to and during our trip! Even though she was on her own Mexican vacation while we were, she was still responsive to any questions we had regarding our travel while there.

•The app she uses to organize all travel documents is very simple to use, and helpful if you have any anxiety about traveling internationally as she includes pictures of where to go in the airport, what scams to avoid, etc.

We hadn’t even left Mexico and we were already talking about how we can’t wait to use Kasey again to plan our next international adventure! I never used to think I’d need a travel agent (designer) to plan a trip since planning is something I love to do, but I can’t emphasize enough how valuable her services have been on these two trips and I confidently recognize how much better our experiences have been having utilized Kasey! Hands down 20/10 stars for Kasey!"

This sweet family wanted their holiday memories to include white sand, tropical drinks, and gorgeous aqua blue ocean water. They gushed at how perfect the resort was for a multi-generational getaway, and couldn't have asked for a better spot to create some life long memories.

You guys might not know this, but every time I travel (which is 10 to 12 times a year 🤯) I'm obsessing about every detail of the resort experience, gauging who would love it (and who might hate me if I sent them there 😆). Every resort is so unique in what it offers, and I love having the opportunity to listen to what's most important to you (and your family!) and steer you toward a perfect vacation experience! 

Thank you so much to the Richards family - you guys were a dream to work with!!

Well hello!! There are some new faces around here, and I thought it might be fun to tell you a bit about who I am, what I do, and why you might want to stick around.

I'm the owner and Travel Designer here at Dazzling Getaways. That's basically a fancy way of saying that I work with clients to design the trip or destination wedding of their dreams.

They get to close out their 87 browser tabs, stop the endless Tiktok scroll, and ditch the overwhelm while I take their wish list and turn it into an incredible travel experience they will never forget.

Some fun facts about me:

✨ On average I take about 10 trips a year, and STILL haven't figured out to master the carry-on only lifestyle

✨ Speaking of those 10 trips a year, I am truly awful at posting on social media and usually only end up posting about 2 or 3. A marketing professional would be horrified, and my social media game is a constant work in progress, lol!

✨ During COVID I convinced my husband to let us live in Hawaii for 4 months before our oldest started Kindergarten. And then we returned the following year to do it yet again. 😎

✨ When people ask me my favorite destinations, it feels like I'm being asked to choose a favorite child. But if I HAD to choose my top 3, it would be Mexico, Greece, and Ireland. But the Raja Ampat islands were also pretty epic 🤯

I'd love to hear all about you guys! Drop a comment below on where you're headed (or hope to be headed) on your next big adventure!

Calling back all my ladies who voiced interest in a hosted group getaway!!🌴😎🍹

The trip is officially A GO!!! My colleague-turned-bestie Melissa and I will be co-hosting a women's only trip to Mexico in November of 2025.

We are heading down this weekend to meet with some resort managers and plan the final details of what is going to be an absolutely epic experience.

This trip is for the ladies who want a mix of relaxation, authentic "off the beaten path" experiences, and the opportunity to make new friends (because let's face it - making friends as an adult is hard!).

We welcome ladies that are traveling alone (I promise you'll meet some amazing people) as well as those who want to bring a friend, sister, or mom.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in and want to learn more about, please ✨ click on the link below and fill out the short form to stay informed of the final details ✨!

Sydney & Levi came in saying they wanted to ditch the traditional sun & sand honeymoon for one filled with adventure and "once in a lifetime" experiences. Say no more....welcome to Icleand - the land of fire and ice! ⁠
⁠
They had an absolutely incredible week of glacier hikes, northern lights, thermal hot springs, and even snorkeled between two tectonic plates (a MUST when visiting Iceland!). ⁠
⁠
I loved every minute of the planning process - ensuring that everyday was maximized to fit in their Iceland bucket list experiences. ⁠
⁠
Cheers to a lifetime of adventures - I love that you guys went off the beaten path for your honeymoon, and feel so lucky to be a part of these memories! ⁠

Today is National Daughter Day! I can't believe how lucky I am to spend each day with these amazing little humans. They teach me more than I could ever teach them. They are the best travel companions, always up for another one of my crazy global adventures, and remind me how amazing even the small things can be.

✨ They stop and stiff every flower (even if they suck one up their nose and have to seek help from a Mexican physician)

✨ They swim in every ocean (even if they get stung by a stupid jellyfish, and have to seek help from a Jamaican physician)

✨ They arrive in Hawaii and say "Aloha Amigo" to every Hawaiian local.

✨ And they have become the experts in the art of airplane seat sleeping.

My goal is to encourage all families to get out and travel with your babies. Make the best memories. Even if they don't remember, you absolutely will 🥰

Time to celebrate because WE WON!!!! In not one, but TWO categories! Thank you everyone, from the bottom of my heart, for voting Dazzling Getaways your favorite local Travel Agent and favorite local Travel Agency.

I can't wait to see where the next year takes you all, because I know it's going to be filled with even more epic adventures and gorgeous oceanfront views!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!! LIKE, HUGE! (in the voice of Julia Roberts)

After YEARS of dreaming, planning, and frequent requests from clients, I've decided to pull the trigger and HOST my first group getaway to Mexico 🌴🍹🌮! The details are still being nailed down, but this first trip will be LADIES ONLY. Think beach cabanas, spa treatments, authentic cooking classes, 24 hr room service, and a super fun cultural experience (that I'm MOST excited about!). Timeframe would be October 2025.

Right now, I'm trying to get a feel for how many ladies would be interested in joining me!! The more the merrier. There will be rooms for ladies who would prefer to room alone, as well as rooms for ladies who have a girlfriend / sister / mama that might want to join them!

My dream for this getaway is to bring women together who are excited to travel, but maybe haven't had the opportunity to get out as much as they would like. I will personally be leading the charge, so all of the "unknowns" are taken care of - managing the airport, arranging safe / reliable transportation, and working with AMAZING local companies to create some incredible memories together. Literally, all you have to do is pack your swimsuit, love of travel, and maybe a good book.

I'm just going to say it - I'm incredible at planning trips, and supporting my clients. I work day and night to make sure that they come home screaming "BEST TRIP EVER".

I didn't get this good overnight. I didn't wake up one day knowing how to assist a group of 150 people when a Cat 5 hurricane slams their resort full speed. I didn't automatically know that these 3 resorts would be absolutely perfect for your honeymoon wishlist.

I have invested 10 years worth of time and money networking, training, traveling, and learning everything I could about how to make your trip planning experience an absolute dream.

No legitimate business works for free, and the planning fees that I charge go toward the system and processes that have my clients going "omg, working with you was so easy!".

So each time you see someone pop up saying "fun fact, travel agents work for free", just remember that you get what you pay for.

I couldn't be more excited!! I was hand selected to join another exclusive event dedicated to destination weddings, honeymoons, and romance focused travel. I'm so honored and proud that Dazzling Getaways is recognized as a leading travel design agency in the romance travel arena. ⁠
⁠
So on Monday, I head to Mexico to network with resort wedding teams and various wedding service vendors to learn the latest trends. My favorite part about events like these is how inspired I leave with ways that I can help my couples experience an even more amazing wedding / honeymoon. ⁠

Your destination wedding and honeymoon is a BIG deal. Let's make sure it's absolutely perfect! ⁠

Shoutout to all my clients-turned-friends. You guys are just absolutely amazing, and I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU. This is just a small sliver of the client love that I often receive, and every kind word means THE WORLD. ⁠
⁠
The trip planning process can take quite a bit of time, and sometimes I'm working with clients for 2+ years. From the moment they hire me as their travel designer, to the day they return home, I want them to feel like they're working with a friend who always has their back. ⁠
⁠
Thanks for the love, and right back at ya! ⁠
⁠
Are you planning a destination wedding? Honeymoon? That bucket list trip you've been dreaming of for years? ⁠

If you're wondering what it's like to work together, shoot me a DM or head over to the short contact form on my website to start the planning process!

Happy National Margarita Day!! It just so happens that I've tasted MANY a resort margarita...in the name of market research of course! 😆🇲🇽

Lately I've been obsessed with Blood Orange Margaritas. It's a magical combo of blood orange sour mix, Cointreau, 21 Seeds Valencia Orange Tequila, and more simple syrup than I care to admit.

Tell me in the comments....what's your favorite flavor of margarita?!
