Let’s be honest - traveling with kids is a lot.

The snacks run out.
The flight gets delayed.
Someone’s crying (sometimes it’s you).
The buggy goes missing. The crib isn’t ready.
Everyone’s starving, and you still have to figure out dinner.

You planned the whole thing…and now you’re too stressed to enjoy it.

But what if it didn’t have to be this way?

✨ What if the room was ready the moment you arrived?
✨ What if someone had already booked the transfer - with car seats and snacks on hand?
✨ What if your restaurant had a highchair waiting and your name on the reservation?

✨ And what if your favourite drink was waiting for you on arrival?

Because you deserve more than just “parenting abroad.”
You deserve a holiday that feels restorative. Thoughtful. Actually fun.

That’s what I do.
I take the weight off your shoulders so you can be fully present for the moments that matter most.

Recently engaged and dreaming of a destination wedding in 2026? You’re not too early… you’re right on time.

The truth is, luxury venues book up quickly - especially the ones that feel like they were made for you.

Think private villas in Tuscany, candlelit courtyards in Seville, cliffside terraces in Amalfi… the ones that make your heart skip a beat? They’re already getting inquiries.

2026 might feel far away, but if you’re hoping for something personal, seamless, beautifully curated, and Pinterest-worthy - now is the time to start.

✨ We’ll secure your dream venue
✨ Build your vendor team with people who get your vision
✨ Handle guest travel and accommodations (hi, full-service planner here!)
✨ And make sure you enjoy everything around the day as much as the day itself

This is where your dreams start to come true.
And it starts with a conversation.

📞 Book a consultation call and I’ll share my availability and how the planning process works.

🚢 Confession time… we never thought we’d be cruise people. Always steered away (pun fully intended 😅).

But lately? We’re rethinking everything. Especially after seeing what @‌explorajourneys is doing… 👀

Next month, I’ll be hopping aboard an Explora Cruise for the first time, and let’s just say…this is not your average cruise experience.

👉 Swipe for a sneak peek of the dreamy itinerary…

Think: curated itineraries, elevated design, refined dining, and destinations that have me seriously swooning.

Cruising done right just might just be our new favorite way to travel. Who agrees? Would you ever do a luxury cruise?

🇮🇹 DUCO Italy 2025, arrivo! Where the best in Italian luxury travel come together to celebrate the art of hospitality, authentic experiences, and of course, la dolce vita. And I’m thrilled to be attending once again!

For me, Italy isn’t just a destination - it’s a deep, personal connection. As many of you know, Italy is a part of my DNA, my soul, and my every day life. Italy will always be proudly my #1 destination! (Afterall I am 100% Italian and 100% American!)

Every region has a story to tell. And at DUCO, I get to connect with the incredible hoteliers, experience curators, and industry insiders who make these journeys truly unforgettable for my clients.

Why does this matter?

Because these relationships allow me to craft one-of-a-kind, insider-access trips — the kind where you’re not just a visitor, but a welcomed guest.

From boutique hotels steeped in history to exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences, DUCO is where relationships are built, and those relationships are what allow me to create once-in-a-lifetime trips for my clients.

DUCO Italy 2025:
📅 March 24th – 28th, 2025
📍 Milan, Italy

If you’re attending DUCO, DM me - I’d love to connect!

And guess what? You don’t have to give up anything to travel more sustainably. In fact, the most amazing experiences happen when we slow down and do things differently. 💫

I’m talking about those off-the-beaten-path spots where the views take your breath away, that little family-run restaurant where the owner chats with you like an old friend, and boutique hotels where the owner greets you at the door with a genuine smile.

That’s the good stuff.

That’s what makes travel magic.

Here’s how to make your 2025 adventures sustainable:
🌿 Stay in eco-certified accommodations.
🍴 Support local restaurants and shops.
✈️ Offset your carbon emissions when flying.
🎒 Pack light and eco-friendly essentials.

Because let’s be real — when we travel with heart and intention, it just hits different. 💫

Sustainability isn’t about less; it’s about making every moment count.

Let’s explore in style and with purpose. Who’s in?

Ready to plan an unforgettable eco-luxury journey?

Let’s create something beautiful. 💌

It’s always really nice to receive recognition from your industry peers! 🎉

If you follow along on my Stories, you might have already seen, but at this year’s Retreat I was awarded with the title of ‘Industry Champion’, and it had me incredibly grateful and beyond speechless!

This industry has given me so much—lifelong friendships, unforgettable experiences, and the chance to do what I love every single day.

A huge thank you to Kristin, the incredible founder of Travellustre, who has been such an inspiration and mentor to me. Her vision and passion for this industry are truly unmatched, and I feel so lucky to be part of this amazing community she’s built.

Travel isn’t just a job for me—it’s a way of life. It’s a passion and a love deep within my bones.

It’s about connection, discovery, and those little moments that stay with you forever. I’m beyond grateful to be surrounded by people who feel the same way.

Here’s to continuing to share the magic of travel with the world! 💫

This is a career highlight, for sure!! 🥰 Casey & Aaron originally dreamed of a Scotland elopement but with less cold vibes—enter the Dolomites, Italy. 🏔️

Think soaring peaks, golden alpine meadows, and all the dramatic landscapes you could ever want… without freezing your champagne flutes off.

Their intimate ceremony was pure magic—luxurious yet effortlessly natural, with bespoke details that made the day completely their own. Safe to say - I’m obsessed.

Want the full story (and all the jaw-dropping photos)? We’re spilling the details over on the blog—and how we created a day that’s straight-up dream material. 💌

Don’t let your next trip become just another blur. Don’t rush through everything without truly feeling the magic of where you are. ✨

Ever come back from a trip feeling like you need… another vacation? 😅

That’s what happens when travel turns into a checklist—rushing from one sight to the next without truly being there.

Let’s flip the script. 💫

It’s about sipping wine during a long, lazy lunch in a sun-dappled vineyard 🍷, swapping stories with the owner as time melts away.

It’s rolling out fresh pasta with a local Nonna, her laughter filling the kitchen as she shares family recipes passed down for generations. 🍝👵

It’s wandering cobblestone streets with no agenda, stopping to admire a quiet piazza or savoring the perfect espresso at a tiny café ☕.

These are the moments when you truly feel the heartbeat of a destination—when you’re not just visiting, but living it.

Forget the endless to-do lists and whirlwind schedules.

Let’s craft a trip where you immerse yourself, embrace the culture, and come home with memories that feel like treasures, not tasks.

STOP doing this immediately….

Stop trying to do ALL of Italy in ONE trip! 🇮🇹

It just won’t work.

Let’s be real: trying to fit Venice, Florence, Rome, the Amalfi Coast...AND Sicily into one trip is a recipe for burnout.

Trust me—you’re not “doing Italy,” you’re rushing it.

And Italy isn’t a country to rush; it’s a country to savor.

Here’s the deal:
🌟 You’ll Burn Out. Logistics overload. Trains, planes, cars… no grazie.
🌟 You’ll Miss the Magic. Italy’s charm is in its details: that tucked-away trattoria, the cobblestone street you stumble upon, the moments you’ll remember forever.
🌟 Less is More. Pick 1–2 regions and really immerse yourself. Sip wine in Tuscany. Explore the Amalfi Coast. Wander Venice’s canals.
🌟 You Deserve Better. Travel isn’t about ticking off landmarks—it’s about the memories you create.

Let’s ditch the checklist and plan a trip that’s intentional, meaningful, and totally you.

A New Yorker in Paris… ...and London, and Rome, and Barcelona.

Hello! Bonjour! Ciao! Hola!

My name is Nicole Bono, I am a seasoned luxury event planner, founder of Bono Events International, and currently based in Paris, France.

Originally from New York City, and raised in a multilingual home, travel is in my DNA.

After graduating from Berkee College of Music, I started my professional career in the fast-paced Manhattan music industry, working with a rolodex of celebrity clientele. Soon after, I moved to Europe, fell into the world of international event planning, and haven’t looked back.
