About

On WeddingWire since 2009

Hi - I'm Barbara and at Romantic Journeys I work one-on-one with couples to design the most important travel experiences of their lives - their Destination Wedding or Honeymoon.

Through my comprehensive planning services, I help you bring your destination wedding or honeymoon vision to life—while leaving all the planning stress behind. Whether you’re seeking over-the-top indulgence (if you’re going to splurge, this is the time to do it!) or toes-in-the-sand, laidback luxury - I’ll make it happen with ease through my connections to top properties across the globe, decades of travel planning experience, and fierce dedication to making your “I Do!” dreams come true!

This is one travel experience you shouldn’t rush or compromise on - which is why you need a professional planner in your corner. My mission is to give you the best honeymoon or destination wedding possible - I am an advocate who puts your needs and vision first, a confidant who you can bounce ideas off of (no matter how out-of-the-box-they might be!), and an honest straight shooter who you trust to tell it like it is.

You tie the knot—I’ll tackle all the details!

Maui Fairytale!

Barbara was amazing! She was an integral part of my destination wedding! Truly, I couldn't have done it without her patience and expertise, especially since we we started working together during the pandemic. It was scary but she helped ease my worries. She got straight to work and helped confirm a room block in Maui for my guests. She made sure all of my guests had everything they needed, from hotel accommodations to shuttle service. She communicated with me on a frequent basis. She was able to move swiftly when there were changes and late guest add-ons. She was able to secure my fiance and I a wonderful 2 bedroom cottage, where we were able to host a Welcome Reception for our guests and then a one bedroom villa for our honeymoon suite. I cannot express how grateful I am for Barbara.

Excellence Full Service

I cannot say enough good things about Barbara with Romantic Journeys!
First she has a wonderful way of getting to know you and what you are looking for. Then she dives into research for the perfect trip. We did our first trip with her as our honeymoon and ended up in the Dominican Republic. This was not even a place on our bucket list yet it was by far one of the best trips my husband and I ever took.

We have now done two trips with her and going on our 3rd in 5 weeks!

Not only is the booking easy but Barbara is also flawless with the execution! She has an app that has all the itinerary listed with contact information. Not to mention she is also fully available for you if anything comes up during your stay.

I am also a Wedding Planner and I have sent many of my couples to her for their honeymoons. All have been so please with her services.

Highly recommend Romantic Journeys!

Outstanding and Personalized Experience

I could not be more grateful for the special intimate vacations abroad that Barbara planned for me and my husband. From touring Europe to relaxing in an over the water cabana in Mexico everything was top of the line! She even found specialized tour guides to take us off the beaten path. We could not be more grateful for her services and highly recommend her to everyone we know!

Romantic Journeys,Barbara really know her way around the travel business. She has been all over the world and can usually tell you about the places you are thinking of going to because she has probably been there herself. She defiantly goes above and beyond for her clients. I highly recommend Romantic Journeys. A+
