Testimonials from Hillary's Clients

HONeymoon, St. lucia

My new husband and I used Hillary for booking our honeymoon after some friends recommended her from their honeymoon a few years back. Looking at international travel while COVID was still impacting so many places seemed so daunting, I wanted a professional alongside us as we made our plans. Initially, we wanted to look at Bali or the Maldives, but with Hillary's guidance, we landed on Saint Lucia. Hillary listened to all our wants and needs, and budget to get us the PERFECT honeymoon! She gave us all the information we could have needed, how to prep for our trip, and helped us navigate the testing requirements and travel documents to get in. We initially saw this resort (Ladera) but Hillary helped us navigate to an even better option, Calabash Cove, and it was amazing. If you are looking for someone to help with your upcoming travel needs, don't look any further than Hillary with Paradise Weddings MN!

Family Trip, Bavaro Beach, Dominican Republic

From the first time we met Hillary we knew she was listening to our needs as a family who likes to travel. She delivered great options for us to choose from and ultimately helped us choose a resort that we absolutely loved. The process was smooth from booking the trip to the time we got home because of the thorough information that she was able to provide at every step along the way! We will ABSOLUTELY use Hillary again and be recommending her to our friends and family for their travel needs!!

40th Birthday Group, Sonoma County, CAlifornia

Hillary curated wine tours and a private sommelier to make the Wine Country Birthday trip so memorable! I didn't have to worry and could relax and enjoy my vacation!

40th Birthday trip, Captiva Island, Florida

I have utilized Hillary's services twice now. First for our honeymoon to Hawaii a few years ago (AMAZING!) and most recently in May 2021 for my husband’s 40th birthday. She was amazing and helped me plan a trip to Captiva Island, FL for him, a place that I wouldn't have even known about otherwise! She took care of it all from flights to the resort so that I didn't have to worry about a thing. She was on top of everything and even worked with the airlines when our flights got changed so that we would still have the vacation we planned for! We had such a wonderful time at the South Seas Island Resort on Captiva and can't wait to plan our next trip with Hillary!

30th Birthday Trip, Playa Isla Verde, Puerto Rico

Hillary helped us book a trip to Puerto Rico for my 30th birthday and it was absolutely phenomenal. My wife and I stayed at the El San Juan hotel, it was beautiful. They offered plenty of activities at the resort, great food, and family friendly. Hillary also helped us plan a few excursions which would have been a nightmare planning on our own during the covid-19 pandemic with all of the new policies in place. If you are looking for an agent who is easy to work with and prioritizes you and your family’s needs, I highly recommend Hillary Ogle and Paradise Travel.

FAMILY VACATION, CABO SAN LUCAS, MEXICO

Hillary helped us plan a trip we won’t ever forget and hope to go back. The Hard Rock Resort she recommended was amazing. We didn’t know what to expect with the pandemic but we felt safe at the resort and on our excursions.

Honeymoon, Riviera Maya, Mexico

From the moment we started planning our honeymoon with Hillary, I knew we were in great hands. She asked detailed questions and gave us a wide variety of options with specific details about the properties, amenities, food, excursions, culture and more. All with in a previously discussed budget that we were comfortable with. We decided to go with Unico in Rivera Maya and we are so happy that we did. The property was beautiful, the staff was so attentive and my husband and I had an amazing time. She helped us set up our transfers, excursions, spa appointments and communication with the hotel. She answered every question we ever had and was so patient whenever we had questions regarding Covid. She will be our travel agent for life. We can't wait to go back or to travel somewhere new with her assistance.

Daughter’s wedding, Riviera Maya, Mexico

My daughter Jessie and my new son-in-law Ross worked with Hillary for their destination wedding. She helped them absolutely nail it! Two families and lot's of friends came together for the most memorable wedding week imaginable! As mother-of-the-bride, I will aways deeply cherish the memories. I was in awe of how smoothly everything came together for all who took part in the big celebration! I think the final count was 87 attendees. Hillary was hard at work behind the scenes ensuring everything turned out perfectly for all of us! It is my opinion Hillary's expertise and professionalism simply can't be matched. She is a gem!!!!!!

Second Chance at Life TriP, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

I had just completed a miserable year of chemo, radiation, and brain surgery to win the fight against cancer, and my husband and I spent that entire year daydreaming of what vacation we would take to celebrate once it was all over. Being tight on money, we were looking for something affordable, but beautiful nonetheless. I reached out to Hillary, a casual friend from college, to see if she had any input. Without missing a beat, she gave us a list of places that fit our criteria and our budget. It didn't take long to realize we could trust Hillary to take care of the stresses of planning a semi-last minute vacation (Sorry about that, Hillary!). We entrusted our celebratory trip into her hands, and little did we know just how much she would take care of us. Our entire week at Breathless Resort in Cabo was an absolute magical dream. Hillary had arranged so many details and surprises throughout our trip that blew our minds and far exceeded our expectations. This was a second honeymoon of sorts for us, and Hillary ensured that we felt like royalty with all of the details and special touches she planned with the Breathless staff. The excursions and activities she suggested for us were spot on, and we could not be more ecstatic with our time in Cabo. If there is ONE regret we have, it's this: HOW DO WE EVER TOP SUCH A MAGICAL AND UNFORGETTABLE TRIP LIKE THIS??!!?! It's sure going to be hard to beat this one, but we have no doubt Hillary will rise to the challenge in the future. We can not thank Hillary enough for her help in planning the trip of a lifetime, and helping us to celebrate my second chance at life, and we cannot wait to work with her again!

Azul Fives Destination WEdding, Riviera Maya, Mexico

Getting married in the Riviera Maya, at Azul Fives was an unforgettable experience. We always wanted a destination wedding and Hillary Ogle at Paradise Wedding and Travel made our dreams come true. We were drawn to Azul Fives because it has a little bit of everything. The resort was beautiful and very well taken care of. There were a variety of dining options that met our large group needs. There was an assortment of activities on site that kept all ages of our group busy and entertained. Rooms at the resort are fantastic, there is plenty of room to make yourself feel at home. The staff at Azul Fives went above and beyond for our party, by upgrading rooms, to taking care of every last detail for our big day. The beach was very clean and the ocean was crystal clear. The resort had enough seating at pools and the beach to accommodate all guests. We could not be happier with our experience at Azul and cannot wait to return.  Hillary made the planning process stress free, by taking care of everything with ease. She is a true professional and is very knowledgeable about traveling and finding the best deals. We highly recommend using her as you plan your wedding, honeymoon, or next vacation.  Jennifer and Nate Phillips

Winter Vacation, Punta Cana

Hillary was amazing when it came to planning our vacation! We had never been to Punta Cana before but had been to other paradise locations. She knew just the right questions to ask to ensure she guided us to our paradise resort. With her knowledge and expertise traveling we were able to be stress free knowing our trip would be fantastic and knew Hillary was a phone call or email away from assisting us. We would highly recommend her for your next destination travels! We are already planning our next adventure with her!!
