This review is a few years late, but I generally had a good experience working with Amy and Kate…read more They helped make sense of a lot of wedding craziness, made a really lovely wedding website and did a lot of helpful booking for family which was fantastic. The downsides I'd say were that the resort wasn't NEARLY as nice as it had been pitched to me. The food was iffy, and my husband and I both got food poisoning (luckily after our wedding). The rooms were musty. And a lot of guests expressed that they could have gotten their hotels booked slightly cheaper than they did through Amy's team. We had our wedding in the Dominican Republic at Dreams Palm Beach FYI. And we loved the wedding coordinator on site (Virgilio) - he was fantastic, and the day itself was BEAUTIFUL and pretty perfect. Overall, the experience was a fun adventure, and my guests had the best time. We don't think we'd go back to this resort or maybe even DR in general, but it was very helpful having Amy's team there to help us along the way.

They were clear in explanations, had a very quick response time, and always sought out answers from the hotel quickly. They worked up until the very last minute with guests changing requests and really went above and beyond.

They helped me enormously during my wedding planning process and it was great peace of mind knowing the travel aspect was in good hands.

We have also recommended this agency to a lot of our friends and family and they have been very happy with all the services they have provided over the years and they also had enjoyed all the trips they booked with Travel Selection!

I was trying to plan a vacation with my family, spending hours and days on those dozens of travel websites, with the all the pop-ups and the fine print, and the feeling of "i'm about to be scammed". I made one call to Travel Selection, told them roughly what I want, and how much I want to spend, and just like the various options were researched for me and presented to me. I chose one, and everything was done for me. Got a great deal to the DR, had a great time. Didn't have to worry about a thing, they even planned some of the entertainment during our stay. When we were returning: catastrophe! A series of canceled flights because of some far away storm! Angry crowds at the airport, no end in sight. I make one call, and they're on it! They rerouted us, didn't cost us anything and we got home almost around when we had planned to. THIS is why people use travel agents. I'm never wrecking two work weeks again to plan a one week trip again!! I've been using them ever since. Helen is the greatest travel agent--and i'm not exaggerating here--on the face of planet Earth!! She WILL go to bat for you, whether it's to find you that deal, to find you an urgent ticket when everyone says it can't be done, to get you out of a tough spot. Family treatment every time!

Luckily, our layover at O'Hare was long enough to permit my husband and I to go to their office to purchase the pass - that, and the fact that the woman who helped us processed everything extremely fast (we were in and out in 10 minutes). Also, a gentleman who works there provided us with a taxi company to call to bring us back to the airport - and even checked the status of the traffic on his phone (since we were cutting it close). We apologize for being so rushed, but want to thank you two for being so accommodating and going above and beyond! There was no line at security, so we arrived at our gate with 1.5 hours to spare! :)
