Erich Weldon

Erich was super attentive and accommodating to everything we requested! He was extremely easy to work with and was able to meet our needs and requests with ease! I would recommend Erich to anyone looking to travel to the islands!

We had a wonderful experience working Erich for our trip to Tokyo. He helped arrange a hotel that was clean, comfortable, and incredibly convenient—just steps from the subway, which made getting around the city easy.

One of the highlights of our trip was the samurai lesson he organized. The kids absolutely loved it—it was engaging, unique, and such a memorable experience for our whole family. Thanks to the easy access to public transportation, we were also able to explore the city with ease, including visiting three different Pokémon Centers, which was a huge hit with the kiddos.

Overall, we’re very grateful for his help and would highly recommend his services!

The Hawaii Emergency Nurses Association engaged Erich to coordinate travel arrangements and secure group bookings for our 2026 Learning Congress, and his services exceeded all expectations. From the beginning, Erich demonstrated exceptional professionalism and attention to detail, ensuring a seamless process for our association.

For the group rates, Erich presented several well-researched options from area hotels, with clear explanations of each choice. Ultimately, the board selected the Ala Moana at Mantra, and Erich made the contract process incredibly easy. He worked diligently with hotel leadership to secure valuable concessions for our group, including the removal of resort fees and reduced parking costs.

Erich also handled travel arrangements for our speakers with the utmost care. He personally contacted each speaker to ensure their flights, rental vehicles, and accommodations were fully arranged. Even when one speaker requested to stay outside the group block, Erich facilitated the process without any disruption. His ability to anticipate needs and resolve challenges quickly made him a trusted and invaluable partner throughout the planning process.

I highly recommend Erich for any group or corporate event planning needs. His professionalism, communication skills, and transparency set him apart in the travel industry, and we are truly grateful for his support in making our event a success.

Our association’s stay at the Ala Moana at Mantra during the 2026 Learning Congress was a pleasant experience, and I want to commend the hotel and its staff for their professionalism and hospitality. From the start, the hotel leadership was communicative and efficient, ensuring the contract process was smooth and timely.

The hotel itself was clean, modern, and well-maintained, with updated amenities that made our stay comfortable. The on-site restaurant was a convenient feature, especially for guests arriving late and needing a quick meal. Additionally, the location is ideal—just across the street from the Ala Moana Mall, offering easy access to shopping and dining, and only a short distance from the beach and the convention center. It’s a perfect balance of convenience and proximity without being in the middle of Waikiki’s hustle and bustle.

The rooms were spacious, clean, and aligned with what one would expect from a 3.5-star property, offering a comfortable place to unwind after long conference days. During our stay, the island had just experienced a significant storm, which caused some challenges with the elevators. However, the hotel staff effectively managed the situation by utilizing service elevators to minimize wait times and ensuring prompt assistance for guests. Their responsiveness in a difficult situation was commendable.

Overall, the Ala Moana at Mantra is an excellent choice for anyone looking to stay near Waikiki and the convention center. Its combination of convenience, cleanliness, and professional service makes it a reliable option for group events or leisure travel.

Erich’s service was absolutely exceptional from our initial discovery call through the completion of our trip. He was there for us every step of the way.

Erich was incredibly easy to work with and provided multiple options for tours and accommodations, which helped us choose what best fit our budget, style, and interests. He put together a well-thought-out itinerary in a short amount of time, and we are truly grateful.

Thank you, Erich, for making our trip to Morocco such a memorable experience. I highly recommend him as a partner for your travel planning needs!

Booking with Erich has been an easy and consistently great experience. He’s extremely responsive, transparent, and takes the time to truly understand my needs and budget. For my Italy trip, he provided a wide range of thoughtfully curated options—everything from hotels with or without breakfast, welcome drinks, and special-occasion dinners, to air and transfer options—so every decision felt intentional and well informed.

Erich has strong insight into special deals and perks I wouldn’t have found on my own, saving me a significant amount of time, effort, and money. His correspondence is always on point, and he’s incredibly accommodating throughout the entire planning process.

This is already the third trip he’s planned for me, and each one has been seamless. What really stands out is how invested he is—he seems just as excited about my travel as I am. Efficient, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. Highly recommend.
