Hi, I'm Kristi Zalesky

Founder and CEO

​Travel has been part of my life since childhood. My mom worked for a major international airline, and from a young age I knew I wanted a career that involved travel.

With over twenty years of experience in event planning and the travel industry, I’ve worked behind the scenes in resorts and in leadership roles where details matter and expectations are high.

We're Certified Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Experts

As certified destination wedding specialists, we design celebrations that go beyond the ceremony—creating multi-day experiences where every detail is thoughtfully orchestrated. From welcome dinners under the stars to carefully curated guest activities, we bring together breathtaking locations, trusted local partners, and seamless coordination so you can be fully present for every moment. The result? A destination wedding that feels effortless for you and unforgettable for everyone there.
