Travel Agents

Some people have hestitated when asking me about travel. I ask them why and most often the answer is “doesn’t it cost me more to use a travel agent?”. The answer is No.

When using The Organized Partner to help you book any type of travel does not cost you more!  As a travel agent, I work to help my clients find the best place to experience their honeymoon, cruise, or group travel based on their criteria.  I do all of the research, find the best deals, use my experience, training, connections with resorts & vendors, and know how to pull it all together for the best experience. This will save you countless hours searching, and save you money. It is difficult to work a full time job and try and plan an event or vacation too. Searching the internet can be daunting and what most people don’t  realize is that the internet does not have ALL of the information!  Travel agents are here to help you get ALL of the information and make the planning, travel, and experience the best it can be. We work hard at matching you with the right locations based on your desired activities, length of stay, and budget.

No one experience is like another  and no one has the same desires for their vacation as someone else. So Relax & Enjoy and call us for more information!  We love what we do here at The Organized Partner or we wouldn’t do it. Life it just too short. We want to give you the best vacation possible.

Can’t I Just Plan My Honeymoon Online?

I do hear this from a lot of couples and the answer is yes.  You can plan your honeymoon online, but what I find is that couples who try to do this on their own, end up extremely frustrated and overwhelmed with the entire process or they end up not really getting what they want.  They are stressed with the endless searching, reading reviews, visiting websites, wondering what each room category really means, looking through brochures, and spending hours of their precious time.  Truth is, you can’t really tell if a resort has everything you are looking for by seeing pictures and reading reviews. Every couple has different interests, priorities, time and money. So your experience should be what you want and desire for your special time together. By booking yourself online, you also miss out on many great incentives and travel options that are given only to travel consultants and that are not available online. The internet is a great tool for research, but leave the booking up to a professional…you’ll be glad you did when we save you time and money!

Planning a 2011 Southwest Michigan Wedding and don’t know where to start?

Planning a SW Michigan wedding can be a daunting task for people trying to do this on their own. What you may not know is that there are many locations that do not have websites or that do not want to advertise their wedding locations for fear of being overrun with inquiries. All along the lakeshore are beautiful, quaint, fun, and sometimes sleepy little towns that either want to entice you to give them a try or would rather go unnoticed.  But, if you know where to look, who to talk to, have relationships with them, know the ins and outs of working with them, and work with a professional wedding planner that has all of the information you need, then you can relax and enjoy and leave the work and worry up to the professional. With little input we can create dreams, with more input, we will be your partner, and with no input, we can create a day to remember. So if you are planning a romantic wedding in 2011, give us a call. We will take care of the details so you don’t have too.
