Your Luxury Travel Specialist

To me, creating unforgettable, luxury vacations for my clients has always been a passion, with romance travel being my greatest passion. I have been traveling the world for over 20+ years. I established my own luxury travel agency, Elegant Elephant Travel Co., in 2016, with the explicit goal of bringing true luxury to all of my clients.

I have been featured in the travel sections of Stroll Magazine and Main and Broad Magazine, both in North Carolina. Elegant Elephant Travel LLC, was chosen as a Best in Business for New Hampshire in 2019 and won the Most Dedicated Luxury Travel Agency - North Carolina- in 2022 from the New World Report.

I have achieved Romance Certifications in a number of 5 and 6 star resorts and destinations. I am also a Certified Destination Wedding and Honeymoon Specialist and graduated from the Destination Wedding University in September, 2023. 

I have created luxurious and custom itineraries for my clients to wonderful destinations all over the world. My specialty destinations include but are not limited to Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Africa, Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, the Maldives, Ireland, Scotland, the Caribbean, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic.

Destination Wedding Review

The stunning turquoise water in Positano, Italy

What an excellent experience from start to finish! We realized that we needed professional help. With Andrea's help we had our amazing wedding with 65 guests at Beaches Turks and Caicos! Andrea provided individual, boutique service to each of our guests, while giving attention to various family preferences. She joined us on conference calls with the resort, and the resort wedding coordinator to make sure they didn’t stray from our vision and budget. She sent us videos and pictures of the resort and our room so we knew what to expect. On-site, she was with us for meetings, and handled a lot of small details for us so we could enjoy the resort and time with friends and family as much as possible.

    Amazing Girls Trip!
    Reviewed By Sara - Holly Springs, NC | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
    We loved working with Andrea and Elegant Elephant Travel! She managed to find somewhere 10 women would enjoy and made it all so easy. She booked everything for us, including safe transportation to and from our resort. She was even able to get the resort to give us 5 rooms close together! I/we will totally use her in the future and I couldn’t recommend her more!

    A wonderful trip and destination wedding!
    Reviewed By Angi+Kyle - Boise, ID | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
    Andrea was amazing! Thanks to her knowledge and experience in the travel industry, she guided us through the entire process of finding the right location for our destination wedding, and arranging accommodations for everyone who attended! In addition, she provided timely advice that helped alleviate the anxiety and worry you feel when traveling to and from another country (in our case, the Dominican Republic). We also had Andrea join us on site for our wedding, and we can honestly say you will rest easier with her ability to coordinate, assist, and support you before and when your big day arrives. On top of all that, she is a joy to have alongside and lots of fun to spend time with! We whole-heartedly recommend Andrea and Elegant Elephant Travel for any vacation or destination wedding trip you're thinking about!

    Our Dream Destination Wedding
    Reviewed By Zack & Mickey - South Portland, ME | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands ~ Caribbean
    What an excellent experience from start to finish! We actually began to plan our destination wedding ourselves and soon realized that we needed professional help. With Andrea's help, we had our amazing wedding with 65 guests at Beaches Turks and Caicos!

    Andrea provided individual, boutique service to each of our guests, while giving attention to various family preferences. She joined us on conference calls with the resort, and the resort wedding coordinator to make sure they didn’t stray from our vision and budget. She sent us videos and pictures of the resort and our room so we knew what to expect. On-site, she was with us for meetings, and handled a lot of small details for us so we could enjoy the resort and time with friends and family as much as possible. She also helped with our flights and gave us great advice about getting through the airports and customs as quickly as possible.

    Thank you, Elegant Elephant Travel!

We were able to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Italy without worrying about logistics. Andrea understood our interests as a family and ensured that we had captivating and informative experiences at each destination. She went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our vacation exceeded our expectations. Her passion for travel shone through in every interaction, and it made a significant difference in creating lifelong memories for our family. Her expertise in planning our trip to Italy was nothing short of exceptional.
