Meet Melanie Murray
Your Destination Wedding Specialist
& International Travel Advisor
Hi!
I'm Melanie
I’ve been designing destination weddings, honeymoons, and international vacations since 2019—and I’ve been loving every minute of it.
Planning travel brings my “left brain” and “right brain” skills together. As a former Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), I’m really good at making sure no detail falls through the cracks, which is so important when you’re planning international travel or a destination wedding that brings in guests from across the country. Plus, with my CPA background, I know how to be a good steward of my clients’ money. A professionally planned vacation is an investment—and I’m here to make sure it pays off for you, maximizing the value you get in every way possible.
But it’s not just a numbers game to me! In fact, the number one reason I love planning travel is because I firmly believe travel makes us more empathetic, open-minded, and deeply connected people.
We live so much of our lives today behind screens—from the laptops and phones we tap away on to the t.v. screens that bring us the latest bout of bad news. It’s easy to lose our sense of shared humanity. But travel brings it back into focus. Travel reminds us that there is still lots of wonder in the world—and lots of good people, too.
I felt it myself when I marveled up at the cathedral spires in Spain, when I was welcomed into a Moroccan local’s home and served soothing mint tea, and whenever I travel with my husband and two teenage daughters, as we go off the beaten path (and off resort!) to explore.
That feeling of connection, wonder, and awe is exactly what I want my clients to experience too. My goal is to create stress-free travel experiences that bring you closer to your loved ones and all the amazing people you meet along the way.
Because there’s nothing sweeter than travel designed to share the love and light you up—and I would be honored to design just that for you.
Melanie's Favorite Adventures
01) Jaen, Spain-I kicked off my travel bug here during an exchange program for my International Management degree-I explored so much of Europe while I was there!
02) Berlin, Germany-This city stole a piece of my heart. A city where history dances with modernity, offers a vibrant tapestry of culture and creativity. From its iconic landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate to its edgy street art in Kreuzberg, Berlin is a place where every corner tells a story.
03) Colombia-my latest adventure and newest love. Colombia is a land of vibrant colors and warm-hearted people. In Cartagena, you'll be enchanted by the colonial architecture, sun-kissed beaches, and bustling street markets that tell tales of its rich history. Meanwhile, Cali, the world capital of salsa, pulses with infectious rhythms, lively festivals, and a spirited nightlife that will have you dancing your heart out.
04) New York City-truly the city that never sleeps. It's dazzling skyline and endless energy allow you with the opportunity to have a unique experience every time to step foot on its bustling streets. From the bright lights of Times Square to the serene paths of Central Park, every corner of this metropolis pulses with diversity and creativity. Whether you're savoring world-class cuisine, exploring renowned museums, or simply soaking in the city's electric atmosphere, NYC promises an unforgettable experience at every turn.
05) Mexico-Initially, I was resistant to visit Mexico because it seemed like everyone had already been there, and I yearned for less common adventures. However, once I experienced its vibrant culture, from the eating the delicious food in the streets of Puerto Vallarta to the serene beaches of Costa Mujeres, I was completely enchanted. Mexico's rich traditions, warm hospitality, and diverse landscapes revealed a depth and magic that I never expected, making it a truly special and unforgettable destination.
