group trips without the group chat chaos
I coordinate room blocks, group rates, excursions, and dinner reservations — so nobody gets stuck being "the planner."
group travel
someone always gets stuck planning.
it doesn't have to be you.
Someone has a great idea. Everyone's excited. A group chat is born. And then... it stalls.
Half the group has opinions about everything. The other half says "I'm down for whatever" but never responds to the poll. And the person who brought it up? They're now running a spreadsheet, collecting deposits, and quietly resenting that their vacation has become a part-time job.
I take the whole plate — not just a little off it.
how I plan group trips
✓
✓
✓
✓
Group itinerary
Transportation
Dining coordination
Shared activities and excursions
Private boat days, cooking classes, guided tours, wine tastings — experiences that work for your size, budget, and group's definition of "fun."
Large-group reservations are a headache. I handle it — including restaurants that don't take parties over 8 (they will for me).
Airport transfers, shuttles, rental cars, ferries. Everyone gets from A to B without 15 separate Uber accounts.
Clear, easy-to-read, with dates, times, and confirmations. No more "wait, where are we going tomorrow?" texts.
✓
Communication
I send updates to the group so you don't have to be the messenger.
Friend trips
Milestones, annual getaways, "we've been talking about this for years" trips
Bach weekends
Planned so the best friend actually enjoys it too
Celebration travel
Anniversaries, retirements, graduations
Destination weddings
Guest coordination, welcome events, group activities
Multi-family travel
Two or three families, one plan that keeps everyone (including the kids) happy
types of group trips I plan
6 to 60+. Sweet spot is 10-25 people — big enough for group rates, small enough for personalized planning.
group size
You always end up planning. You love your people, but you are tired. You want someone to own it — completely — so you can show up as a guest, not a coordinator.
The organizer
You want to go, you're excited, and you feel a little guilty someone else is doing all the work. When I'm involved, nobody is. Clear itinerary, you know what you owe, show up and have fun.
The rest of the group
Collecting deposits via Venmo is awkward. I set up payment structures and communicate costs clearly so that conversation is off your shoulders.
The one managing the money
The organizer had fun. The "whatever you pick" people were pleasantly surprised. And the group chat? Back to being fun again.
nobody resents anybody
