Why Couples Trust Ever After & Away
Seasoned expert
Dream Weddings don’t just happen, they require careful planning and expert advice from someone who has years of experience behind them.
Customer Focus
I want my destination weddings to be a 100% positive experience for not only wedding couples, but also their guests. I work with wedding couples closely and provide continual support throughout the planning process, advice when needed, and ensure I take excellent care of all guests travelling to be there for the big day.
Social Responsibility
I strongly believe in giving back to those in need in the beautiful countries I work with for destination weddings. I particularly love animals and I even adopted an elderly Mexican street dog named Birdie. With every wedding I book, I donate to a charitable cause in that country to give back to the less fortunate, both two legged and four legged.
All Canadian!
Ever After & Away, escapes.ca, myself, and all our tour operator partners/airlines are Canadian which means that when you book your wedding with me, you are helping to support small businesses and the Canadian economy.

Gabrielle did an amazing job helping us plan our destination wedding in Jamaica and arrange travel for our 48 guests flying out of 5 different cities. We started planning our destination wedding only 8 months in advance, and Gabrielle was truly the reason the planning process was virtually stress-free for me! She is very knowledgeable and responds to emails in detail in a very timely manner. She also helped coordinate with the resort where needed. Her professionalism and excellent service was beyond expectations, and even our guests were thoroughly impressed with her! We are extremely grateful for Gabrielle. Our wedding week was more than perfect thanks to her!

Gabrielle did a phenomenal job organizing our destination wedding! We had guests going to Mexico from across Canada, and somehow she was able to handle them all! Gabrielle was extremely friendly, patient and prompt to answer my millions of questions. She was even able to juggle our last minute changes/requests. The wedding week/day would not have gone off as well as it had without her! Thanks for everything, you are amazing!

Gabrielle was my agent I decided to go with, I orginally met her at a bridal show and decide to keep her in mind while i was beginning my planning process. She had an inviting personality that I could appreciate since the process can be a bit overwhelming. From the beginning she was extremely knowlegadable with different locations and what each resort had to offer. When we had decided to pick the Dreams La Romana what is now known as Hilton La Romana, Gabrielle was keen to tell me about any upcoming changes to the resort. Throughout the entire process, her precision, her kindness was exactly what i wanted in a travel agent for my destination wedding. Not only did she answer everyones question in a timely manner she was willing to accomodate all our guests with different needs. I would highly recommend this company but mostly, Gabrielle.
