To continue providing the highest levels of service to all clients, Marissa only accepts a limited number of engagements for private itinerary design & planning services per year. Note: all planning services require that accommodations reservations be made through our agency.
Completion of our Inquiry Form gives us a general idea of your trip goals and helps Marissa prepare for your upcoming consultation.
On our phone call, we will talk about your favorites, likes and dislikes, current trip aspirations, ideal budget, travel style, plus discuss fees and our agency process.
If you absolutely hate phone conversations or are just insanely busy and feel that your needs can be adequately conveyed through email, please let me know. I get it.
After our call, I'll send over a recap of our call, followed by a complete fee proposal. Once our non-refundable fee is paid, Marissa will start curating your trip with in-destination parters and will craft an initial itinerary proposal with fitting accommodations, guides, transfers, and experiences for your ideal vacation.
Full-service clients: after reviewing your bespoke electronic proposal, simply select your favorite hotel and activity options and we'll send over a complete package proposal that bundles everything together.
If you've opted for Consulting Services only, you'll receive a beautiful proposed itinerary with links to book your own tickets and guides. We will of course book your selected hotels with preferred partner inclusions.
Once we've gone through the final selection process and you approve our itinerary, we'll work with my trusted luxury travel partners to make your bookings (depending on package selection). We'll send the finalized electronic itinerary with emergency, in-destination contact information one week prior to departure.
Our minimum investment for our Custom Itinerary Planning package is $1500 and may increase with trip complexity (i.e., a group of travelers or many desired destinations, longer trips, etc.). This fee will be waived for honeymoons if we plan your wedding room block together. Note that when we plan your vacation, our pricing is presented as a package with everything included from the moment you leave your doorstep. If you would like our agency to just create the itinerary and book your hotels and leave actual finalization of activities & excursions to you, the consulting fee is $750.
We base our fee on how long we estimate that it will take to our team create your itinerary and coordinate with our preferred partner suppliers.
For international destinations, the soonest that we can start actually booking anything is about ten months prior to departure, but we can start dreaming up your Bucket List trips now.
For close-in-time departures, a $200 additional service fee may apply.
If you absolutely require a breakdown of all package costs because you'd like to price shop and prefer to book on your own, our Custom Itinerary Planning services may not be a great fit. Many of our supplier partners prefer to bundle pricing, meaning that clients will only see the negotiated flat rate that includes all requested or proposed services -- airport meet & greet, transfers, private tour guides, and sometimes even hotels included - so this is how the package will be presented to you. A deposit is usually required to confirm the booking.
For clients who like final control over all the details, we will help book your air and hotels and design your ideal itinerary, then send you links to book suggested tours and experiences and connect you with an in-destination concierge -- leaving the final steps in your hands. The cost for this more limited Design Only service begins at $750, but still includes consultation with Marissa, preferred partner hotel and resort bookings, and all her insider knowledge and resources.
Yes! See our Preferred Partner page for a partial list. We are frequently being invited to new elite hotel partners (faster than we can update our site), so it's always best to reach out directly if you have a property in mind.
