Reviews for Marsha Steeves Destination Weddings
Best experience ever!
"We had the absolute pleasure of dealing with Marsha and Harumi to help us plan our destination wedding. Marsha went above and beyond for our group, making sure everything was perfect and as stress free as possible for us to enjoy our special day. Harumi helped us coordinate every last detail with ease for our wedding day. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and made things exciting and stress free.
We could not be more grateful for all the support we received from this team! "
Friendly, Communicative, and Professional
Wedding Planning Services Were Amazing - Travel Services Could Be Improved
Where we felt the service had room for improvement is the communication and responsiveness with our guests. We had multiple guests say that they had a hard time getting a response in a timely manner. We also had guests tell us that they received tickets and refunds for our other guests. Lastly, we were stressed out the week prior to our departure when we received the seating manifest in which a majority of our guests were not sitting beside the people they were rooming with. To Masha's credit, this was resolved in the next couple of days, but it was an additional stress we had to deal with.
WEDDING PLANNING: Harumi started the wedding planning process 9 months prior to our wedding day. She was always on top of getting us quotes, speaking to and finding vendors, and coordinating with the resort on our behalf. Bringing Harumi with you to your destination wedding is an absolute must. Throughout the whole process, she was extremely responsive, accommodating, and worked tirelessly to ensure that our wedding was coordinated and that all our guests were happy (We had a couple of guests who were not happy with their rooms and she made sure they got new rooms, she coordinated excursions, looked into any resort issues, made reservations). She is very caring and detail-oriented and did everything she could to make our time as easy as possible. If you are on the fence about having her come with you, we would 100% recommend you bring her as we found she was such a valuable resource and a great person to have making sure everything about your destination wedding runs as smoothly as possible.
Recently, I researched and planned a stay at a Club Med, for another family and mine, and then called upon Ms Steeves to place the booking. She took it on herself to dig around and negotiated an upgrade to the new deluxe waterfront rooms, at almost no extra charge, and what a difference that made to making our stay so great. The other family was unable to travel due to sickness and she helped get the full refund no problem.
We were once stranded abroad on a trip with our return tickets on Pan Am the week the company went belly up. A few phone calls back home to Marsha [on her personal 24/7 cell phone], and the alternate arrangements quickly fell into place to get home. These are the types of things a good travel agent can do that makes a real difference.
I have made multiple bookings over the past few decades with her agency and never a problem. I would strongly recommend and I will continue to use Ms. Steeves services for my travel and vacations. Disclaimer: Please note that specific wedding arrangements services has not been one of their services I have had occasion to use.

My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy every moment knowing we were in such good hands. We can’t say enough how much we appreciated having Harumi on site!

I attribute my success to "Passion". My passion has enabled me to stay dedicated and committed to a most fulfilling and rewarding career of over 38 years consulting the traveling public. I have had the good fortune of traveling to over 44 countries and truly believe that "Travel is a university without walls."
As Saint Augustine once said "The World is a book and those that do not travel read only one page."
Travel provides an enlightenment that gives to a much broader perception and ignites positive change. It sometimes can be leaving our comfort zones we have become so accustomed to. I can honestly say "Travel" has left a huge imprint on my life and left me with many cherished memories and it is the very reason I could only wish others the opportunity to experience the same.
My travel credentials I hold with Nationwide Travel College, ACTA and CITC. Wedding Planning with WPICC & DWC. I find great satisfaction in using my skills of qualifying my clients and matching them to that perfect destination experience. Whether it's a destination wedding or a honeymoon, I endeavor to always provide the highest level of service and expertise.
