Julie McKenzie

Hi, I’m Julie, and travel has been a huge part of my life for more than three decades. But of all the places I’ve travelled, explored and fallen in love with, Italy holds a very special place in my heart.

My journey in travel began in the late 1980s, when I joined Thomson Holidays as a holiday representative. I was fortunate enough to live and work in Menorca, Tenerife and Sitges, and those early years were filled with adventure, laughter, hard work and wonderful memories. It was there that my passion for travel truly took hold and I discovered how rewarding it is to help people create their own unforgettable holiday experiences.

After returning to the UK in 1992, I started a family and became mum to my daughter, Emillie, and later a very proud grandma to my granddaughter, Aurora. I eventually returned to the travel industry, working my way up to managing several high-street travel businesses before taking the leap and setting up my own travel business.

Over the years, I have specialised in creating truly special experiences for couples, particularly destination weddings and honeymoons. I understand that these are not simply holidays — they are some of the most important and memorable journeys of your life. That’s why I take the time to really get to know my clients, understand what is important to them and then carefully match them with the right destination, property and experience.

My love affair with Italy 🇮🇹

Italy is undoubtedly my passion and my main area of expertise. I have been enjoying a love affair with this incredible country for more than 20 years, and I never tire of returning, exploring and discovering more.

For me, Italy is so much more than Rome, Venice, Florence or the Amalfi Coast. I love seeking out Italy’s hidden gems — the beautiful little towns, characterful hotels, lesser-known coastlines, authentic restaurants, wonderful vineyards and those special places that can make a trip feel truly personal.

I’m passionate about *all things Italian* — the food, the wine, the culture, the history, the scenery, the people and, of course, that wonderful Italian way of life. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic escape to Tuscany, a celebration on the Italian Lakes, a wedding in Puglia, a honeymoon on the Amalfi Coast or simply want to experience a side of Italy that feels a little more authentic, I can help bring that dream to life.

Destination weddings & honeymoons 💍

Italy is my speciality, and I absolutely love helping couples create their perfect Italian wedding. From finding the right setting and venue to arranging the details that make the experience uniquely yours, I can guide you through the process and take away much of the stress that comes with planning a wedding abroad.

My extensive experience in destination weddings also means that I can help you look beyond Italy. I have knowledge of weddings in destinations including Cyprus, Greece, Spain, France and Mauritius, as well as many other wonderful destinations around the world.

And when the wedding is over, I can help create the perfect honeymoon too. Whether you want romance, relaxation, adventure, incredible food and wine, a luxurious beach escape or a combination of experiences, I’ll help you find somewhere that feels just right for you.

Why book with me?

I don’t believe in simply finding a holiday and booking it. I believe in listening, understanding and using my experience and intuition to find something that is genuinely right for you.

I love discovering those special places, unique experiences and beautiful properties that you might not necessarily find by searching online. My aim is to make your travel experience as personal and memorable as possible, from the moment we start planning until you return home with memories that will last a lifetime.

Whether you’re planning a dream wedding in Italy, a romantic honeymoon, a special celebration or simply want to discover somewhere extraordinary, I would love the opportunity to help you create your perfect journey.

I would love to hear from you... Julie x
