Destination Wedding Cruise 2019
Melissa booked our wedding cruise for dates August 10-14, 2019 (a cruise/ destination wedding). Everything was lovely and put together! Everyone had clear instructions up until the cruise itself, she was easily able to be reached with any and all questions, giving updates to all invitees each month. If she didn't have a definite answer to questions regarding the trip, she did the work necessary to get the needed information, quickly and efficiently!
We will be booking ALL future trips through Mrs. Gladney, she was a complete pleasure to work with, all around.

Honeymoon!
Melissa was very helpful and easy to communicate with whenever I had any questions! She provided complete pricing for multiple resorts and multiple options at each resort to allow me to compare the pricing and amenities for each option. She interfaced with the resort and transportation service for me. Setting up our room and private transportation to and from the resort. Although I booked our flights myself with points from work travel. She is able to provide pricing for good flights as well. All in all, she was amazing to work with and I highly recommend her services!
