Get ready to just let go
At Champagne and Sunshine Vacations, I do more than share expertise on the overwhelming world of resorts
(although I do a lot of that!).
The thing that really has my clients coming back, though, is: I care. I care about your vacation dreams, and the investment you’re making to bring them to life. I care about your particular preferences and specific needs. I care about the memories you make, and the loved ones you make them with.
To me, your vacation is personal. And I’ll make it my personal mission to make it the absolute best it can be.
Expert Resort Guidance—
Served Up with a Personal Touch
About
What started as a simple need to get away quickly snowballed into a full-blown resort obsession for me. At this point, I’ve visited 30+ resorts across the Caribbean and Mexico—and I go back at least six times a year (often with my husband and kids in tow!). I rely on my deep expertise to build dream resort vacations for my clients.
Because I believe the service you get before you arrive at your resort should match the experience you receive once you get there: seamless, personal, ultra-accomodating, and full of that “just let go” kind of feeling.
That’s exactly what I offer. So if you don’t just want a resort escape, but a resort escape that feels tailor-made for you, I invite you to let me take the reins. All you have to do? Pack your best sunnies—and get ready for the time of your life.
I want to give more travelers that kind of escape.
Before founding my agency, I was a teacher for 10 years—it was an incredibly rewarding career, but a high-stress one. For me, travel was a “must” to decompress from my day-to-day … and I quickly found that there was no better place to rest and reset than at a luxury resort!
In fact, that’s the reason behind my agency’s name, Champagne and Sunshine Vacations. Because there’s simply no better feeling than when you first pull up to your resort and staff is waiting there to open your car door, welcome you in, and offer you a cool towel and a cold glass of champagne. It’s at that moment you realize: “I really needed this.”
I know a lot of my clients are just like me—busy to the max, constantly keeping a running tally of what needs to get done tomorrow, or next week, or next month in their heads. From experience, I also know that the only way to turn off the “what’s next?” anxiety is to pack up and head out on a replenishing, stress-free vacation. The kind where the only thing you’re left wondering is: what’s next—a mojito or margarita?

A Few Of My Favorite Resorts
— Megan Hirschbuhl
I booked my honeymoon trip with Champagne and Sunshine Vacations and will never book another trip without them! They took care of everything from booking the resort, to booking flights and everything in between. I always felt like I had nothing to worry about because we were in the best hands. They made sure we had everything ready and packed before leaving which made our travel day so much easier. I highly recommend looking over their packing list, not an item is left out! We could not recommend Jen enough and can’t wait to book another trip soon!
“We were in the best hands.”

Jen is amazing at what she does. We wanted a memorable, relaxing 10-year anniversary trip, but with two young children at home and jobs we wanted to leave the planning and bookings to a pro. So happy with the whole process from the complimentary video call before you choose her for her to get an idea of what you are looking for, to making all of your reservations from hotel, plane, restaurants and excursions. Our trip to Bucuti & Tara in Aruba was exactly what we wanted! Highly recommend Jen and will definitely take advantage of her services again for future trips! Thank you!!
“So happy with the whole process.”
—Shighla Jackson
Jen worked with me and my MIL to plan a family vacation. She took everyone’s thoughts into the planning and came up with a brilliant vacation. Jen narrowed down the choices based on our preferences and did a zoom call with the whole family. Her presentation included everything from pictures to activities to room options. It was very impressive. I can’t wait to work with her for our next trip.

I gave her a tall order - an all inclusive with lots of things to keep the kiddos entertained, plus some options for parents to relax and within our budget. Jenn totally delivered! She provided 3 great options, and gave very thorough reviews with pros and cons for each. We selected one option that Jenn stayed at personally with her family. She was able to give us a very realistic review of what to expect as well as tips and tricks. We could not have been happier with our vacation! Jenn planned every detail for us and was available for any and all questions. We can’t wait to book our next vacation!!!
“We had an amazing experience with Jenn!”
—Andrew Tirney
She is knowledgeable, attentive, organized and so easy to communicate with. She took out all the leg work for us and made it a breeze. Jennifer listened to just what we were looking for in our price range and time frame and gave us a great options to choose from - answering any and all questions we had. She handled bookings, reminders, confirmations, and special services as well as shared great tips for packing, airport navigation and making the most of our stay. She was accessible if needed, during our trip and checked afterwards to see how everything went. She truly values making your trip just what you are looking for and you can tell by the care she puts into her service. We highly recommend Jennifer and will certainly be using her services again!
