Working with Domonique was easy and fun! I really enjoyed her ideas and recommendations and also appreciated her patience and good humor when we move the entirely planned trip to a different week. :)

I cannot thank Domonique for planning our stay, our trip, our adventures. I am a massive control freak and now I will never ever plan another vacation without Domonique. I mean who finds a Percy Jackson scavenger hunt because you casually said “the kids love Greek mythology”?! Domonique- that’s who. Every suggestion, every tip, every reminder, every answer to every one of my “wait! We haven’t plan this yet” panics was met with calm guidance and rare finds. Her ideas and guidance made this one of the best family vacations we have ever enjoyed.

Domonique was absolutely fantastic! She had great stay and tour suggestions, offered helpful insight about ideal stays and activities, and really strived to understand our family personally and what would make a great trip specifically for us. She met my obsession about a particular hotel in Paris with optimism and enthusiasm and ultimately made an improbably short-notice, three-night stay at that hotel actually happen.
I was especially grateful for her insight about one particular hotel we hoped to book. Her booking experience wasn't ideal and she was careful to caution me about that as a reflection of their potential service. Her intuition was spot on. She's really a fantastic partner in travel planning!

The expertise and knowledge Domonique has acquired through traveling and education translated into a beautiful and memorable experience for my whole family. She listened carefully to my goals and understood exactly what we would be enjoyable traveling with older teens/young 20s. She coordinated all of our transportation, hotels, restaurants, activities and put together an absolutely perfect trip itinerary. She chose magical hotels in amazing locations, she made dinner reservations that would meet the needs/wants of everyone. She made multiple suggestions for downtime that would allow for everyone's preferences. She took every bit of stress out of vacation planning and I could not be more grateful. Domonique was professional while energetic and excited for us to experience Barcelona and Mallorca. She followed up during the vacation to make sure everything was perfect. I would put my trust in Domonique again and again-- I cannot wait to work with her again. She is a beautiful gem!

Martha's Vineyard: Where the Country Meets the Sea
As a West Coaster, Martha's Vineyard always sounded something like a fantasy. Where one would hob knob with the likes of presidential families vacationing in large compounds most of us would never experience. What we discovered was a bucolic island of country roads, quiet beaches and roadside farm stands. A place where people are neighborly and courteous, and the pace of life is slow and easy.

Enjoying the Crescent City: New Orleans
New Orleans is known as a party city with its most famous party being the final week leading up to Mardi Gras. There is so much more to this lovely city than parties and parades, though there is certainly a lot of that. New Orleans is beloved by many for its food, culture and music.
