How It Works

Plan your perfect trip in 4 simple steps

Dream It

Start with a little wanderlust. Explore destinations and handpicked hotels chosen for their romance, ambience, and unmistakable “this feels like us” energy. We’ll help you narrow in on the places that match your vibe.

Build It

Tell us what you’re envisioning—where you want to go, when you want to travel, and how you like to do vacations. Fill out our quick trip form, and we’ll start curating options that make sense for your style, priorities, and budget.

Perfect It

Review your personalized travel plan, request tweaks, and fine-tune the details. Your dedicated HCTG travel expert handles the logistics—flights, accommodations, and special touches—so nothing slips through the cracks.

Book It

Once everything’s approved, we’ll lock it all in. You just pack your bags, grab your partner (or your crew), and get excited for a trip you’ll be talking about for years. Champagne at the airport? Optional. (Highly encouraged.)

PLAN YOUR TRIP

Types of Travel We Plan (and Love)

From big celebrations to intimate escapes, we plan the moments that matter most.

Relaxing, adventurous, or a little of both. We’ll plan a honeymoon that feels like a true exhale after wedding planning, with every detail expertly handled.

Intentional, intimate, and beautifully simple. We’ll plan the travel side of your elopement or small wedding so everything feels effortless and true to you.

You soak in the celebration. We’ll manage the travel details for you *and* your guests, keeping the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

From bachelorette weekends to bachelor escapes and friend-group getaways, we’ll handle the planning so the only thing on your agenda is having fun.

REAL LOVE NOTES
from happy travelers

  • She got all of our reservations linked up so it was easy to meet up and communicate with each other. She also gave us group vacationing tips which was super helpful. I will definitely book with her again!

    — Barton B.
  • Our travel bestie understood the assignment :) She even helped me make sure I got my hotel points with BonVoy. I was able to get a better deal through her than anyone else. I'll definitely be using her again!

    — Jennie R.
  • This booking process was so easy. It took another 'to-do' right off our plates. I definitely know who to go to for my next vacation!

    — Natalie C.
  • Seamless! Easy! Simple! I can't wait to have y'all book my next trip!

    — Stetson T.
  • When we planned to get married with family and friends on a cruise, I was a bit overwhelmed! Our travel planner was instrumental in getting the best cruise line experience for our group. Everyone was so happy with the attention to detail and follow through. She made it seamless and our wedding and vacay was unbelievably good! I highly recommend!

    — Michele C.
  • Booking this trip was awesome from start to finish. Our travel "bestie" was always there to answer any questions. No matter how many times I reached out, she stayed kind, patient, and super helpful. The detailed itinerary she put together made everything so much easier and took so much stress off our shoulders. Her thoughtfulness and genuine care really made the whole experience better.

    — Wade B.

Frequently Asked Questions

We've got travel-sized answers

Why work with a travel expert instead of booking it myself?

Because you get the same (or better) pricing than the big travel sites, *plus* perks they can’t offer. Think upgrades, early check-ins, late checkouts, and added amenities. We handle the research, logistics, and details while you enjoy the benefits. Same price, better experience!

What makes you different from other travel sites?

We’re not an algorithm or a booking engine. We’re real people with decades of wedding and travel experience. Every destination, hotel, and partner we recommend is personally vetted for quality, service, and that "this feels right" factor.

Who’s actually planning my trip?

Your trip is handled by the same trusted team behind Here Comes The Guide – experienced planners who know celebrations, logistics, and how to make travel feel seamless. You’ll have a dedicated point person (aka a Travel Bestie!) from start to finish.

How much does this cost?

Nothing! It’s completely free to use Here Comes The Getaway. You’ll get a personalized itinerary, destination research, and full support without paying a dime. If your trip includes something extra custom, like multiple destinations or extended travel, we’ll always be upfront about any additional costs before you commit.

Do you only work with couples?

Not at all! We love planning trips for groups, friends, families, and anyone looking for a getaway.

What happens after I fill out the trip form?

Your very own Travel Bestie will reach out to learn more about your style, preferences, and priorities, then start curating options that fit your vision. No pressure. Just smart planning.

Can you plan last-minute trips?

Yes! Some of our favorite adventures come together in just a few weeks. We’ll handle the details so you can just pack and go.

What about cancellations or changes?

We’ll walk you through cancellation policies and change options before you book. No surprises, ever.
