I specialize in destination weddings and honeymoons. I have completed weddings in numerous cultures and religions in many different countries.
I have received my Platinum crown with Palace Resorts, 5 years in a row. I’m one of the few agents in Canada, that are certified by the Wedding Planning Institute of Canada. During this certification I was able to learn about different cultures and their traditions. I have received the Top Producing Agent for Mexico, for 3 consecutive years.
I have over 10 years of experience in the travel industry. I started as a travel agent, booking every kind of travel you can imagine from airline tickets to destination weddings. I found my heart was with destination weddings, I absolutely love how every wedding is different. I sincerely want this to be a exciting & memorable experience for you , and that begins when you book with me.

“Travelling is truly the ultimate exposure to the people and the cultures from all over the world and I think food brings us together; no matter our differences, we’ve still got to eat.”
Lynn loves to take in the sights wherever she travels and to experience local delicacies from all over the world. She has 13 years of experience in esthetics and has experienced spas in countries and hotels that she has visited like Japan, Dominican Republic, Malaysia and Mexico to name a few.
As of late, she is passionate about a healthier approach, a more holistic lifestyle that also incorporates travelling to recharge and inspire the soul. If you’re looking for the perfect spa retreat, Lynn will be able to find something for you to best suit your needs.
“People who benefits from travel are people who comes back with their souls fulfilled and continue on with life with eyes open to other possibilities and understanding for others.”
