Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

"It was such a great experience working with Ava on our wedding! We always knew we wanted a destination wedding, but where to start? Before connecting with Ava, it felt like there was so much to do and worry about. It was so overwhelming! But Ava came to us with kindness, patience, and incredible, elegant suggestions which helped it become the wedding of our dreams. We truly felt like we were VIP guests at our own wedding. I would trust her with my whole heart to do it all over again and highly recommend her for all of your destination planning and wedding needs!"

- Freda Malcolm, Director of Romance, Bahamas Ministry of Tourism

"We met Ava Burke-Thompson the first day of our trip when we needed her assistance with the planning of our wedding. Ava assisted us with every little detail and even came to the hotel on her day off with her daughter to finish the last details. Ava’s dedication, professionalism and kindness put her in a class of her own."
