Carmen Colicchio, of Suntastic Honeymoons, has been instrumental during the unprecedented travel crisis affected by Covid-19 starting March 2020. Carmen had planned a destination wedding and honeymoon to Punta Cana for my fiancée and I, scheduled for May 2020. In late March, with less than 2 months to go, we learned that our resort was closing down, with no reopening date projected. All our guests were booked, they had their plane tickets, and everything was selected and ready to go! Although rather disappointed, we understood the gravity of the situation, and Carmen not only provided us with comforting words, but assured us she would work with us and our guests to make it right! She quickly reached out to our guests and notified them, making sure we all got refunded for any deposits made through Suntastic Honeymoons. She also worked with the airlines to provide a credit back for the airfare she had booked for our guests. Her support meant everything to us during this time, and... Read more the fact that she also took such great care of our guests, so we didn’t have added stress, was truly priceless. I am so grateful and thankful for her and the services and support provided. A destination wedding is such a special occasion, no couple should have to go through this roller coaster, but she was with us the whole way through! And now, we have decided to post-pone out to May 2021, and we are very much looking forward to having Carmen take care of us again!

We were referred to Carmen through a family member who was referred through a friend- already a good indication of the quality of her services. We have not been disappointed! Carmen booked our 2 week honeymoon to Greece that was supposed to follow our May 2020 wedding. With the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to reschedule our wedding to August. Carmen was incredibly helpful, understanding, and informative when we were figuring out what to do about the honeymoon. She made sure we knew about important dates regarding payment, and even helped us change one hotel so that the date to make a decision could be pushed back. Unfortunately, we decided it made the most sense to cancel our trip. Carmen was very helpful in letting us know about refund options etc. We will definitely work with Carmen again when we decide what to do moving forward. She's already been great with providing information about a new destination (Italy), when we might want to book that, and what insurance options we have. I w...

We were so lucky to have her on our side during a very challenging time!

I worked with Carmen from Suntastic after being referred by a friend for a trip to Cabo a few years back. Carmen was so hands-on and helped us when there was an unexpected delay in the opening of the hotel where we were planning to stay. We had a great trip and no stress even with the change of plans thanks to Carmen's guidance. She also planned my sister's honeymoon 3 years ago and most recently, our September honeymoon in Hawaii which, unfortunately, we decided to postpone after our April wedding was postponed due to Covid. With all of the uncertainty with our plans right now and our new date planned for November 2020 (fingers crossed) the last thing we wanted to stress about was a honeymoon that was supposed to be our opportunity to relax and start our married lives together. Carmen has been nothing but easy to communicate with, responsive, supportive and understanding of our decision to hold off on our honeymoon for now and we look forward to rebooking it with her soon. Asid... Read moree from the postponement, Carmen was extremely knowledgeable on where to stay, different options to fit into what we wanted to do as well as our budget and helped plan what I know will be an amazing trip. I wouldn't want to plan an important trip during these times without the help of a travel agent and would highly recommend Carmen and Suntastic for couples looking for a white glove experience.

Carmen is absolutely amazing ! I would work with her again in a heartbeat ! She helped arrange accommodations for our destination wedding of 98 people. Everything went seamlessly. All of our guests were impressed with her service and many plan to use her for future travel plans. Carmen was very patient with us and answered all of our questions with knowledgeable advice and tips! She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was covered and that all of our guests were taken care of. We really enjoyed working with her! I would recommend her to any bride looking to plan a destination wedding!

Carmen has been amazing to deal with. We unfortunately had to move our honeymoon to next summer, but she made it super easy for us! Answered all of our questions perfectly, and was extremely fast to get back to us with everything. She has great knowledge of the industry, and helped us pick a location based on what our needs were. I highly recommend!

Carmen is absolutely wonderful to work with! She not only helped me choose the location and plan for my honeymoon (Grenada) but also 2 amazing vacations previous to that (St Lucia and Mexico). I wouldn’t think to plan any trips without going through her! She is professional, responsive, reliable, and truly listens. She is also extremely knowledgeable on so many locations and makes setting up a trip stress free. I am always at peace going on my vacations knowing every detail is taken care of. Thank you Carmen, you are the best of the best!

My husband and I went to Moorea and Bora Bora! Both islands were beautiful and it was a trip of a lifetime. Carmen was excellent through the whole process and it couldn't have gone any smoother. Highly recommend her and would certainly use her in the future for trip planning.

Wow, where to begin! Carmen was an absolute doll and life saver! When I got engaged, I didn’t even know where to start, but Carmen was recommended to me by a friend who was recently married. I contacted her and she walked me through everything I needed to know about planning a destination wedding in a kind and patient manner and she made me so excited about my big day. I knew where I wanted my wedding to be, and she put me in touch with all of the right people at the resort. After providing her a list of all of my guests, she was incredibly thorough in reaching out to everyone and following up and providing impeccable detail. She definitely went above and beyond the call of duty many times. The initial thought of getting my family organized and booked and answering all their questions was so daunting, but Carmen literally did everything. She was so kind and sweet and professional to all of my guests and everyone still raves about their interactions with her. As for me, she made my li... Read morefe so much easier and I actually enjoyed planning my wedding thanks to her. She was always available to answer questions and always responded in a timely manner. Definitely choose her to coordinate your destination wedding and to take care of your family and friends as if they were her own!

Carmen was absolutely fantastic when it came to getting to know me and my husband and what we were looking for when it came to our honeymoon. Carmen kept us up to date on our travel plans as well as all of our flight and booking information. Our honeymoon was such a joy to go on and we had such an amazing time- it helped that all of the planning was already taken care of for us!

Carmen from Suntastic Honeymoons and Vacations planned an amazing 14 day honeymoon for me and my now husband. We went to Hawaii and visited Oahu, Maui and Kauai, and ended in California. She was always readily available through the planning process, and made us aware when she was away on business. She always provided an updated itinerary, details of excursions, and recommendations for fun tours, restaurants and the best sunsets! We were relieved everything went so smooth when we arrived, and we had little notes greeting us on arrival, as well as every tour group and hotel being aware it was our honeymoon. We felt special, and the best part is that we could relax and did not have to worry about details. If you are not sure where to go, or what accommodations to book, Carmen was able to guide us and provide options based on both of our requests of things we each like to do for fun. She is savvy with Hawaii travel and taking care of details, and we recommend Carmen highly!

Carmen was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her services. She came recommended from my brother/sister-in-law who used her for their honeymoon back in 2012. Her level of experience helped us to plan the perfect trip, with her guiding us to a location, air fare and excursions. She took care of everything, kept us informed throughout the process, and sent us the info packet a couple weeks prior to our trip

We worked with Carmen for our honeymoon in Italy. Carmen made the entire process very easy and straightforward, helping us come up with realistic plans within our budget. While our honeymoon was unfortunately postponed due to the Covid-19 crisis, we were fortunate to have Carmen to help us through the process of cancelling, rescheduling, and refunding us. She has been helpful and responsive throughout and we look forward to working with her when the world returns to normal!

For all the people wondering if a travel agent is the way to go for your destination wedding the answer is a huge heck yes!!! And finding the right one is even more important!! Carmen was amazing from day one. She came highly recommended and she surpassed my expectations. She was very informative on our very first call, was always there to answer my calls/emails, reached out to the resort for me numerous times, all of my guests had absolutely no issues and only had great things to say about her, she was constantly updating me on our guests booked, and on top of it all we got such great perks in the end! She made everything so easy and she was a sweetheart. One of my guests loved her so much she is in the process of planning her own destination wedding and is also using Carmen. If you are planning a destination wedding or even just a vacation I highly recommend using her, you will be in great hands!
