How do I work with you?
Many professionals charge for their expertise, whether it's a financial advisor creating a personalized investment strategy, an interior designer curating a home design catered to your style, or a wedding planner coordinating a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Travel planning is no different!
Planning fees allow me to dedicate the time, research, industry knowledge, and personalized attention required to design a seamless travel experience tailored specifically to your dreams. While hotel-only bookings are complimentary, custom itinerary planning is a professional service that requires extensive research, coordination, and ongoing support before, during, and after your trip..
Why do you charge a fee?
What if I enjoy planning my own vacations?
That’s fantastic! As a travel advisor, my role isn't to take over the fun parts of travel planning — it's to offer expert guidance, insider recommendations, and support along the way. Whether you'd like me to handle every detail or simply provide a hotel booking so you receive access to the exclusive perks we can provide, the process is collaborative and tailored to your travel style, ensuring you remain as involved (or as hands-off) as you'd like.
How far in advance should I book with you?
To ensure we are able to provide you with the high-touch, personalized experience you will revel in, please reach out to us as soon as possible to plan your trip! Because each trip and traveler is unique, each trip’s timing is unique. As a general rule, the ideal timeline for planning is 6-12 months, depending on location and trip complexity.
A rush fee will apply to bookings made within 60 days of departure.
What kind of travel do you book?
Magnolia Reverie Travel curates everything from bespoke city stays and coastal retreats to multi-stop international journeys, honeymoons, luxury cruises, and celebratory travel for couples and families. To name just a few, some of our favorite destinations currently include Hawaii, the Caribbean, Europe, and Disney World.
Through our trusted global partners, we are able to thoughtfully plan and support travel destinations worldwide, ensuring your experience is curated with care and expertise. We’d love to daydream with you about where you want to go!
Can I book with or earn loyalty points?
When booking with Magnolia Reverie Travel, you are still able to earn loyalty points with many hotel brands, as we can include your hotel loyalty numbers when making the reservation.
However, we are unable to manage reservations made using points for hotel stays. We recommend applying points for airfare, as these often provide the best redemptions.
