About Vacationeeze
Vacationeeze was created with one sole purpose in mind: helping you EEZE into your next vacation.
We’re client centric and travel obsessed with the goal of sharing our passion for travel with you as we partner together to plan your trip.
Over the years, we’ve grown our family-owned business into one of the top award-winning independent travel agencies.
Even as we’ve grown, we kept the same ethos to ensure we pair our unrivaled travel knowledge with the niche travel experiences that matter most to our clients.
So whether we’re planning your honeymoon, a luxury cruise, a destination wedding, or an exciting getaway, our unrivaled team is here to help.
Our Story
Our founders, Jack and Sharon, met when they were 15 and have been traveling together for the past 40 years!
Jack started and sold one of the first online honeymoon and destination wedding booking websites to the Knot and became a president of a division of the Knot in the early 2000’s and has been deeply involved in designing luxury family getaways, honeymoons, and destination weddings ever since.
Jack and Sharon have a passion for travel – hitting the road nearly 3 weeks each month, exploring new destinations, meeting with wedding planners and resort managers, and attending client events.
Their passion for travel is palpable and contagious and has spread to their family and the rest of the trusted travel advisors that are part of the team.
