Girls' Trips & Groups

Group travel is complicated. Different budgets, different preferences, different schedules — and someone has to coordinate it all. That someone is me.

Group travel is my specialty.

No extra cost to you

The hardest part of a girls' trip isn't the destination — it's the logistics. Getting everyone to agree, managing different budgets, finding accommodations that work for the whole group, and making sure no one ends up doing all the planning themselves. I take that off your plate entirely. You focus on who's coming; I'll handle everything else.

Group trips I love to plan

Beach & Resort Getaways

All-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean are a perennial favorite for girls' trips — great value, easy logistics, and everything in one place. I'll find the right property for your group's vibe and budget.

Bachelorette & Bridal Trips

Bachelorette trips are one of my favorite things to plan. Whether the bride wants a beach weekend in Tulum, a city crawl in Nashville, or a sailing charter in the BVI, I'll design a trip that matches her personality — and handle all the logistics so the MOH can actually enjoy herself.

City & Cultural Trips

New York, Nashville, New Orleans, Paris, Barcelona — city trips are perfect for groups with varied interests. I'll find the right hotel, make restaurant reservations, and build an itinerary with enough structure to keep things moving and enough flexibility to let the trip breathe.

Wine Country & Culinary Trips

Napa, Sonoma, Tuscany, the Douro Valley — wine country trips are a natural fit for groups. I'll arrange tastings, private tours, and the kind of meals that become the stories you tell for years.

Group Cruises

Cruises are one of the best values in group travel — one price covers accommodations, meals, entertainment, and multiple destinations. I'll find the right ship and itinerary for your group, negotiate group rates, and make sure everyone has the cabin they want.

Adventure & Active Trips

Hiking, sailing, snorkeling, cycling — groups that want to move. I've planned sailing charters in the BVI and USVI and can design active itineraries that keep the energy high without leaving anyone behind.

What I bring to your group trip

One Point of Contact

Instead of twelve people emailing twelve different hotels and airlines, you have one person handling everything. I coordinate the group logistics, manage the bookings, and keep everyone on the same page.

Group-Friendly Properties

Not every hotel is set up for groups. I know which properties have connecting rooms, villa configurations, and group amenities that make the trip work — and which ones will leave half the group on a different floor.

Budget Flexibility

Groups rarely have identical budgets. I can structure a trip with a shared base (hotel, transfers, group dinners) and flexible add-ons so everyone can participate at their own comfort level.

The Details That Make It Special

Welcome amenities, group dinner reservations, private excursions, surprise touches — I love adding the details that turn a good trip into a great one. This is what you're celebrating, and it should feel like it.

Thinking about a group cruise?

Group cruises are one of the best-kept secrets in travel. You get the flexibility of everyone doing their own thing during the day, plus built-in time together at meals and on excursions. I can help you find the right ship, negotiate group rates, and make sure the whole experience runs smoothly.

I share destination guides and group travel tips on the Travel Notes blog. Browse for ideas for your next girls' trip.
