Big announcement time!!! 🎉🌴

After years of thinking, dreaming, and trying to make this happen, Vacations By Melissa is FINALLY hosting a trip to Mexico for any women who want to join!!! 🌺✨

Who is this for?

Ladies who have been wishing for years to travel but don't feel comfortable going out of the country alone.
Women who really need a break from daily life and family, ready to get AWAY and CELEBRATE—whatever you want! 🎉
Women looking for a perfect mix of beach reading, poolside lounging, spa relaxation, and a little adventure—whether it’s trying authentic Mexican food, snorkeling in crystal blue waters, or taking a boat to explore new locations with a fabulous tour guide (or two!). 🌊🌮
There will also be opportunities to meet new friends (if you want—no pressure to socialize if you're not feeling it) and a few extra surprises we’re still working out! 🎁

We promise this—it WILL be a good time!

If you’re even considering this—or know someone else who is—be sure to sign up for the pre-sale emails in the link below. This will sell out quickly, and the ONLY way to guarantee you know when is to be on the list! 📝✨

Can't WAIT to hang out with you in 2025 in Mexico!!! 🇲🇽💃

Congratulations to Christy & Jared on their beautiful destination wedding at the all-inclusive Dreams Natura in Riviera Cancun, Mexico!

The arch with the ocean in the background is truly one of my favorite views for a wedding!

And to think . . . .. they almost didn't get the wedding on the Sandals Private Island they dreamed of!

I first met Kenny & Rose when they were part of a group trip for some of their friends 30th birthdays. After the fun they had with all of their friends at an all-inclusive, they knew a destination wedding was in their future. There were a few minor bumps along the road, but when the resort tried to throw a wrench in their plans, this sweet couple made lemonade out of lemons.

Why are you leaving money on the table with your Destination Wedding?

***Spoiler alert - its probably because you had no idea!!!***

Let me break it down so simply for you - you need a room block contract if you want to get all the perks for your destination wedding! Can they be intimidating? Heck yes! Am I an expert at managing them? I sure am!

Check out my latest blog post where I decode the mystery behind a room block and show you how much YOU can save on your wedding by utilizing this!

This deserves to be said in all caps

Delegating your travel planning is the best thing you’ll ever do!

When my recent client called me for the first time, she was stressed, confused, and completely overwhelmed with the planning of their 10 year wedding anniversary.

And understandably so! Travel is glam and fun, but putting together every single little detail isn’t always.
​​
But in just one call I was able to ease their worries and give them some piece of mind.

How?

✨ By taking away the overwhelm of so many choices.

✨ By taking over the planning so they could focus on other things.

✨ By showing that I understand their travel preferences and it would be a collaborative effort to make their travel plans a reality.

I love nothing more than making travel an easy breezy process for my clients.

✨ Thinking about a destination wedding? 
The best time to start planning is 14-18 months in advance! Here’s why: 
1️⃣ Better rates for your guests, meaning more of your loved ones can join the celebration. 
2️⃣ Top location choices – the earlier you book, the better your chances of securing your dream spot. 
3️⃣ Give everyone (including yourself!) plenty of time to save and pay for the big day.

Who am I?

I’m Melissa. I am a busy Mama. I have been working in the customer service industry, literally all of my life. I started as a waitress, then starting working as a hairstylist where I have been for the past 17 years! (I know, I look too young for that, right?, haha!)

I have an PASSION for Customer Service. I mean Chick-Fil-A. Really, I have an obsession with Chick-Fil-A. It’ become my standard for good service. So, if you are a CFA hater, then you probably want to close this window right about now ;-)

In all of my years as a hairstylist, I have found the very best conversation to have about VACATIONS! I love learning about where people go, and what they do on their trips!

Growing up, I have the very best memories of trips I took with my family. I may have had a slight obsession with hotels, that I realized recently that I must have passed on to my 8 year old who recently told me he wanted to move to Detroit once we stayed in a beautiful Marriott there :-)
