Most couples spend months juggling travel spreadsheets, resort contracts, and guest RSVPs - all while trying to plan the most meaningful day of their lives. At Studio M Weddings, we believe your love story deserves more than logistics. We handle the travel details, guest coordination, and resort partnerships with the same care you’re putting into your vows, so you can stay present, connected, and completely in the moment.
We don’t do cookie-cutter celebrations. Every itinerary, every welcome cocktail, every sunset dinner is designed around you: your style, your story, and the people who matter most. Our role? To be your behind-the-scenes partner, blending thoughtful design with meticulous planning to create a destination wedding that feels effortless, unforgettable, and unmistakably yours.
Every love story deserves a setting
as breathtaking as the promise itself.
We design custom journeys for life’s big moments
Here’s what you should know before we go anywhere: my love of travel runs deep — and my obsession with planning runs even deeper. Whether it’s a multi-day celebration abroad or an intimate weekend escape, I believe every wedding should feel effortless and deeply personal.
I founded Studio M Travel to bring together everything I love: travel, design, and creating experiences that celebrate connection. And while the brand is new, the expertise behind it isn’t. For more than 30 years, I’ve been planning travel and events for corporate executives (who expected mind-reading levels of detail) and for my own family (who never wanted the same thing twice). That mix taught me how to design celebrations that are seamless, flexible, and unmistakably yours. flexible, and—above all—personal.

A Few Fun Facts:
I still remember planning my own destination wedding — with most of our guests traveling in. It was beautiful, chaotic, and completely worth it. Now, I help other couples leave the heavy lifting to me, so they can focus on the joy of the moment. Because when every detail flows effortlessly, you get to do what really matters: celebrate love, laughter, and the start of your life together.

Multi-Generational Bucket List trip to New York City
Robin
The trip was lovely! While we didn't make it to everything in the plan, it was so nice to know we had a plan that would appeal to everyone in the family! Everything was timed perfectly so we kept moving, but didn't feel rushed.
Perfectly planned and you thought of everything! Everyone in the family had a blast!! We could not have taken this trip without you!

Family Trip to London
John
I recently worked with Marilyn to plan a trip to London, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. This was my first visit to the UK—despite having traveled to 30+ other countries—and I was bringing along my two nephews (ages 28 and 24) for their very first trip abroad. I wanted this to be a memorable experience for all of us, and Marilyn delivered on every front. Her communication was excellent—always prompt, clear, and thoughtful. She presented a wide range of hotel and food tour options that catered to different interests and budgets, which made planning easy and enjoyable. Her recommendations for what to do in different neighborhoods helped us make the most of our time and gave the trip a great balance of iconic sights and more local experiences. Marilyn was incredibly helpful, budget-conscious, and attentive to every detail. This was my first time working with a travel agent, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for expert, personalized travel planning. She was fantastic!

Business School Reunion
Michael
Marilyn made my recent business/pleasure trip to Philadelphia as unforgettable as four days in Philadelphia can be. High praise indeed. I’ll cut to the chase: I can’t recommend Marilyn highly enough. She nailed everything I asked for and everything I didn’t. I’m a husband of a professionally successful and socially active wife, a father of three busy kids, and an overscheduled/underorganized small business owner. If I had the time and 10% of her skill set and knowledge base, I’d happily do it myself. But I don’t and I don’t, so she has herself a loyal customer.
Marilyn has a very rare combination of tech-savviness and good old-fashioned customer service. Professional, but friendly. Extremely responsive. A good listener and an excellent communicator. Easy (and fun!) to talk to. Great attention to detail. Respectful of your time. Diplomatic when you make an ill-advised choice. The bottom line: She exceeded my expectations at every step in the process. Bravo.
