Vacations by Kat

Hi, I’m Kat — your future honeymoon matchmaker, destination daydreamer, and the person who believes your first trip as a married couple should feel like a deep exhale and a “this is so us” moment.

I’m the friend who will happily tell you which resort has the best cocktails, which Greek island has the most magical hidden beaches, and which Italian towns make for the dreamiest slow mornings. I plan honeymoons all over the world, but my specialties — and my personal travel obsessions — are Greece, Italy, and the Caribbean. Those are the places where romance, adventure, and relaxation meet in the absolute best ways.

What I love most is getting to know you. Your vibe, your travel style, your “we’ve always wanted to…” daydreams. Your honeymoon shouldn’t look like anyone else’s — it should feel like an extension of your relationship. Whether that means island hopping through the Cyclades, wandering cobblestone streets in Florence, or sinking into a private plunge pool in St. Lucia, I’m here to help you find the version that fits you perfectly.

And when it comes to logistics? I’ve got you. You get to show up at the airport feeling excited, not stressed, knowing every detail — transfers, reservations, room choices, all of it — has already been taken care of.

If you’re dreaming of a honeymoon that feels refined, romantic, and completely tailored to you, I’d be honored to bring it to life.

I fell in love with honeymoon planning because it’s the perfect blend of romance and logistics — the magic and the mechanics coming together to create something unforgettable. Weddings are beautiful, emotional, once-in-a-lifetime moments… but the honeymoon is where couples finally exhale, look at each other, and say, “We did it.”

I love being part of that. I love helping couples create a space where they can be present, celebrate their story, and start this new chapter with intention and joy. Being trusted with that moment feels incredibly meaningful, and it’s a privilege I don’t take lightly.

My favorite line I’ve ever heard in a speech came from a mother of the groom, who said:
“My wedding wasn’t the best day of my life — it was the start of the best days of my life.”

I think about that all the time. It captures exactly how I see honeymoons: not just the final moment of the wedding… but the beginning of every moment that comes next.

I’ve worked with couples whose excitement is so contagious that I feel like I’m celebrating right alongside them — the ones who send voice notes squealing about booking the perfect suite or text me photos from their balcony in Santorini at sunset. Those little glimpses into their joy are my favorite part of this work.

I plan honeymoons all over the world, but my true specialties — and the destinations where my expertise really shines — are:

• Greece
  Island hopping in the Cyclades, hidden beaches, cliffside suites, and the perfect blend of romance and adventure.

• Italy
  From Tuscan wine towns to Amalfi Coast sunsets to the art, food, and charm of cities like Florence and Rome — Italy is my personal love story. I design itineraries that balance iconic moments with off-the-beaten-path magic.

• Europe (Beyond Greece & Italy)
  Europe is endlessly inspiring, and I love helping couples explore more of it — whether as a multi-stop adventure or a curated single-destination escape. I’ve planned honeymoons to France, the UK, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Croatia, and even Norway, and I adore crafting routes where each city feels like its own chapter of your story.

• The Caribbean
  Boutique beachfront resorts, private plunge pools, luxury all-inclusive escapes, and romantic hideaways across St. Lucia, Antigua, Grenada, Aruba, Curaçao, and beyond.

• Asia
  Culture-rich, adventure-filled honeymoons in Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and more — perfect for couples who want beauty, depth, and unforgettable experiences.

If it’s a place where you can sip something delicious with a view, wander charming streets hand-in-hand, or sink into a dreamy suite built for two — it’s in my wheelhouse.

Vacations by Kat started the way a lot of love stories do — with a spark. I’d always been the friend who planned the trips, found the hidden-gem hotels, and built itineraries that felt like something out of a movie. Eventually, I realized this wasn’t just a talent or a hobby… it was the thing that lit me up. So I turned that passion into a business built around personalization, intention, and truly getting to know the couples I serve.

Along the way, I discovered Fora, a modern travel agency that blends the flexibility of independent entrepreneurship with the global reach of a major travel brand. They nurtured my love of travel planning by connecting me with world-class training, fellow expert advisors, and an endless network of hotel partners and industry relationships. Thanks to Fora, I’m able to run my business as a small, boutique-style agency while offering my clients the VIP perks, amenities, upgrades, and connections typically reserved for large corporations.

Today, I specialize in crafting elevated, romantic itineraries for couples across the globe — and every year, I continue to grow, learn, and build relationships that make your honeymoon experience even more seamless and exceptional. My goal is to keep expanding my expertise and delivering a concierge-level experience that feels thoughtful, luxurious, and uniquely yours.

“When should we start planning?”
Ideally 6–10 months before your honeymoon, especially for popular destinations like Greece, Italy, and the Caribbean. Earlier is always better for snagging the best rooms and rates - but I've also worked on plenty of last minute trips!

“Do you charge planning fees?”
The short answer? It depends! I don’t charge a fee for hotel-only bookings — those are complimentary. If you’d like full itinerary support beyond the hotel (activities, logistics, transportation, dining guidance, day-by-day planning, etc.), I offer several curated planning packages. I’m always happy to walk you through each option so you can choose the right level of support.

“Can you help us choose a destination?”
Absolutely. Most couples come to me with a vibe, not a map — and that’s where I shine. I’ll help you find the place that fits your style, budget, and vision.

“Do you work with all budgets?”
Yes. While I specialize in romantic, elevated experiences, I also design beautiful honeymoons on smaller budgets. I’m always upfront and honest about what’s realistic within your price range — and I never try to upsell. My goal is to help you get the absolute most out of whatever budget you’re working with.

When I’m not planning honeymoons, I’m usually planning my own adventures. I absolutely love to travel, and it’s taken on a whole new meaning now that I have a family. I have two small kids — with a third on the way — and I feel so lucky to have taken them all over, including Greece and Italy. Seeing the world through their eyes has made travel even more magical.

I’m also a proud reality TV junkie (if there’s a show with confessionals, I’ve probably seen it), a big fan of going out to eat, and a lifelong researcher at heart. Truly — no decision in my life is complete without an accompanying research doc. Christmas gifts? Research doc. Home projects? Research doc. Choosing a stroller? Definitely a research doc. It’s just who I am… and it’s probably why I love travel planning as much as I do.

I love creating a planning experience that feels thoughtful, personal, and easy. I believe your honeymoon should feel as effortless as it is romantic, and I work closely with every couple to understand their vision, travel style, and preferences so I can make recommendations that genuinely fit who you are.

Because of my industry connections and global hotel partnerships, my clients often receive elevated perks such as room upgrades, early check-in, resort credits, and VIP touches that make your trip feel even more special. It’s my job to advocate for you behind the scenes so every part of your honeymoon — from the hotel to the smallest details — feels seamless, supported, and unforgettable.
