About McKenna

My Story

My love of travel began long before I ever held a passport. My grandmother was a flight attendant in her twenties, and her stories from the golden age of flying captivated me — tales of faraway places, elegant travels, and the people she met along the way. My grandfather, an Air Force officer, swept her off her feet, and together they made the world their home through many deployments and adventures.

The spirit of travel didn’t stop there. My father, a Navy seaman, and my mother, a lifelong traveler and “military brat,” passed that same sense of curiosity and adventure down to me and my sisters. Our family vacations were never ordinary — from the beaches of Costa Rica and The Bahamas to Mexico, the Florida Keys, and countless Carolina coastal towns, each trip was filled with discovery and unforgettable memories.

A Life Built on Adventure

When I met my husband in 2006, one of the first things we bonded over was our shared love of travel — and it’s been a defining part of our story ever since. We were married barefoot on a white-sanded beach in Tulum, Mexico, with the waves crashing behind us — the dream destination wedding I had always imagined.

Since then, we’ve explored many corners of the world together, from St. Martin, Jamaica, and Aruba to England, France, Italy, Greece, and Malta. Each destination deepened my appreciation for new cultures, local flavors, and the joy of experiencing the world through travel. (For the record — the food in Italy and Greece still has my heart!)

From Passion to Profession

With over six years of experience in event planning, I’ve discovered that my greatest fulfillment comes from helping others bring their visions to life. Combining my love for travel with my expertise in planning has allowed me to create meaningful, personalized experiences for my clients — from destination weddings to unforgettable vacations and everything in between.

I truly believe I’m right where I’m meant to be — helping others find their own slice of paradise.

So sit back, pick your paradise, and let me take care of the rest — because paradise isn’t just a place, it’s a plan.
