Kelly Bennett
Founder
I’ve always believed that life is made of moments — big and small, ordinary and extraordinary. Make it all count. Weddings are where I started, helping couples celebrate love in its most joyful form. Over the years, that passion for creating meaningful experiences naturally grew into something bigger. Today, through Be Our Guest, I help families, couples, friends — and sometimes even strangers who become lifelong friends along the way — turn their travel dreams into unforgettable memories, from destination weddings and honeymoons to luxury escapes and group adventures around the world.
Travel has always been a deep passion of mine. It’s about more than simply going somewhere — it’s about connection, discovery, and the stories you bring home with you. Those personal journeys continue to inspire the way I plan and design travel for my clients.
“Weddings are where I started — the world is where I’m heading.”
As the founder of Be Our Guest, my commitment is simple: every client should feel supported, cared for, and completely confident in their experience. I believe in being present before, during, and after every journey, ensuring every detail is handled so you can simply enjoy the moments that matter most. This business was built on relationships, trust, and a genuine love for helping people experience the world.
I’m endlessly grateful for my incredible team beside me who share the same passion and vision. Together, we are here to guide, inspire, and take care of every step of your journey — because when you travel with us, you truly are our guest.

Travel Advisor
We weren’t put on this earth to stay in one place. You can always make more money… but you can’t make more memories.
Travel has taken me through Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Venezuela, and those journeys shaped the way I help others explore the world.
I specialize in luxury group travel, wellness retreats, corporate escapes, and fully customized experiences designed around what truly matters to you. To me, travel isn’t just about a destination it’s about the feeling you carry home with you.
The sunsets you didn’t expect.
The laughter you didn’t plan.
The moments that remind you how big and beautiful this world really is.
My goal is simple: to help you step away from routine and into experiences that stay with you forever.
Because at the end of the day, the best investment you can make…
is in the memories you create.

Shannon B
Travel Advisor
If there’s one thing I love almost as much as my family, it’s packing a suitcase and heading off on my next adventure! I am a self-proclaimed travel enthusiast, and have explored beautiful destinations all across the Caribbean, soaking up sunshine, culture, and crystal-clear waters. I've also enjoyed discovering some of the USA’s warm-weather gems — anywhere with sunshine and good vibes calls my name! And next on my personal bucket list? Europe! I am eager to explore its charm, history, cuisine, and hidden treasures in the coming years.
Family means everything to me, and I understand just how special it is to create unforgettable memories with the people you love. Whether it’s a multi-generational getaway, a romantic escape, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, I know that the best trips are the ones filled with connection and joy.
Travel planning isn’t just about booking flights and hotels to me — it’s about creating experiences, memories, and moments you’ll treasure forever. I'm excited to help you plan your next adventure and can’t wait to be part of your travel story. Let’s start ticking off that bucket list!
