We were getting married and really overwhelmed with all of the decisions that came along with that. Jody with Allied took all of that stress off our plates when it came to our group travel after the wedding! She helped us choose the BEST resort, and made it so we could travel there and back with ease! I will definitely be reaching out with future travels!
When we decided we wanted to do a destination wedding we knew we wouldn’t be able to plan it ourselves. Jody was amazing to work with, very professional, and helpful 24/7 during the time leading up to our trip and even during our trip when we had travel complications (due to weather). Everything was great, have been recommending her to everyone!
We decided to have a destination wedding and met with Jody and Dean from Allied travel. They asked about the vision we had for it and suggested the Hard Rock in Puerto Vallarta. We worked with Jody throughout the planning process. She was always prompt and addressed any question that we had. She made the planning worry-free. Allied sent everyone travel packets ahead of time and made sure all of our guests knew what to expect when traveling. Jody also was at the resort for our wedding week and helped ensure everything went smoothly. We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. With the help of Allied travel, we had the most amazing wedding we could have imagined.
We started out using some online agency to help us plan our destination wedding and it was a complete disaster! That’s when we did a little more searching and found Jody. Allied Travel to the rescue!! Our entire experience with Jody was simply amazing from start to finish. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. We will be using Jody to help us book our next trip for sure!
We had an amazing experience! Jody was wonderful to work with! She was prompt with answers and help every time we reached out. Our stay at the Hard Rock was everything we had hoped for…great service!! And, most importantly, our wedding exceeded our expectations. It was like a fairy tale! Thank you Jody for being awesome!!!

Thank you Jody for being awesome!!!Allied Travel is the answer! Jody was by our side for nearly two years while planning our destination wedding in Mexico. She made sure every detail was in line and our questions were answered all while helping 50+ of our guests book their flights and stay. It took so much stress out of planning knowing she was there to help with anything we needed and laid all the details out clearly from the beginning. From location/hotel recommendations, to help with flights, to day of advice, she was just an email/call away. I can’t recommend her enough!
