Who is behind Suite Departures?
Hi, I’m Ashley, so happy you’re here! Whether you’re just curious or ready to start planning, here’s a peek behind the brand.
I started Suite Departures after years of being the go-to trip planner for friends, family and eventually, colleagues and clients. Travel has always been my favorite language: a way to connect deeper, live slower, and create stories worth retelling. After personally pin-dropping around the world, finding hidden wine bars, relaxing in the fluffiest hotel beds, gazing out from scenic train rides, and all the moments in-between, I realized this wasn’t just a hobby — it was my calling. Suite Departures was born to bring that same thoughtful, elevated experience to travelers who want more than just a vacation.
With an eye for detail, a passport full of firsthand knowledge, and a true love for planning, I’m here to make sure your next departure is anything but ordinary. I believe in personalized plans over endless search tabs, and the magic of having someone who just gets what you’re looking for. I’d never send you somewhere I wouldn’t go myself — and chances are, I’ve already been.

So far, I’ve traveled to 37 countries across five continents (Australia, you're next), and explored 32 U.S. states. Always with a carry-on and a growing list of “must-go-back” spots. From rooftop breakfasts in Santorini to desert hikes in the American Southwest, my love of travel has turned into me becoming a trusted resource for you. — follow along to see where to next! @suitedepartures
FAQs
Who do you work with?
Just about everyone! From multi-generation family trips, couples’, honeymoons and babymoons, girls trips, golf trips, group travel, bachelor/bachelorette weekends, wedding guest room blocks, cruises, villa and yacht charters, corporate incentive trips, and quick weekend getaways. I’ve planned hundreds of trips of various sizes and across every continent (are we counting Antartica?) so you can trust that I’ve truly been there, and done that!
So how does this work?
I create personalized travel experiences, not just bookings and generic suggestions. That includes finding the right destination, designing a custom itinerary, booking hotels, transportations, tours and reservations - offering VIP support throughout the entire planning process. Think of me as your travel matchmaker, planner and problem-solver all in one.
When you’re ready, you’ll send me an email or complete the travel inquiry form. From there, we’ll schedule a quick discovery call to talk through your trip ideas and decide together which planning service is the best fit. From there, I create your custom proposal - once decisions are made, I manage all the bookings and communications on your behalf. (before and during your trip!)
Why should I work with you instead of using my credit card travel portal or another online provider?
Great question! I too have used points and portals to book trips and here’s why I wont do it again. Impersonal and restrictive. Costco, Expedia and Capital One don’t know you, I do. Credit card portals only show you options that partner with that specific card, not to mention, booking through a 3rd party results in your reservation being prioritized last. (cries in wasted points). When there’s a nationwide ground stop or a strike or a simple change of plans, don’t expect much help from that ChatBot. It’s option overload out there, I can save you time (& stress).
Working with me, I can help you analyze how to best use those points and find you the best options that truly fit your wants and needs - not just picking the best of the worst. Did I mention perks? As a Pro Fora Advisor powered by Virtuoso, I have access to over 10k+ partners who provide exclusive benefits not offered to the general public. Think room upgrades, daily breakfast, resort credits, personalized amenities and special touches throughout your trip. As your travel advisor, I’m your single point of contact for everything - start to finish!
