Bachelorette Bliss in Cabo: A Perfectly Planned Girls’ Getaway

We recently worked with Melissa to plan a bachelorette trip to Cabo for nine of us, and she absolutely knocked it out of the park!

From the very beginning, she made the process feel easy and fun. She listened to exactly what we were looking for, gave us great options within our budget, and handled all of the details that come with coordinating a big group. The trip itself was seamless: flights, transportation, accommodations, and activities all ran smoothly, which let us just enjoy ourselves without stress.

Melissa was quick to respond whenever we had questions and even checked in while we were there to make sure everything was perfect. Traveling with nine girls for a bachelorette could have been chaotic, but Melissa’s planning made it effortless.

If you’re looking for someone who is professional, organized, and genuinely cares about making your trip special, I highly recommend working with her. We will definitely be using her again for future travel!
