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 curating itineraries across five-star hotels, tucked-away wine bars, scenic train rides, and once-in-a-lifetime moments, 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 — they want to feel something. 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 35 countries across five continents (Australia, you're next), and explored 32 U.S. states — always with a carry-on, a carefully curated itinerary, and a growing list of “must-go-back” spots. From rooftop breakfasts in Santorini to train rides through the Swiss Alps and 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.
Ready to get started? Now the fun begins! 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 (or chat via email if you prefer) to gather all relevant information and then it’s my turn to get to work. I hand select hotels, experiences and recommendations for your proposal - once decisions are made, I manage all the bookings and communications on your behalf. (before and during your trip!)
Why would I work with you over using my credit card points or travel portal?
Great question! I too have used points and portals to book trips and here’s why I wont do it again. Impersonal and restrictive. Google doesn’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 hotels that truly fit your wants and needs - not just picking the best of the worst. Did I mention perks? As a certified 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!
Suite words…
When we realized we needed to extend our hotel reservation at the Revere, she jumped on it and got it handled fast—no stress, no drama, just results.
She took care of everything behind the scenes so we could keep enjoying our vacation without having to stop and make calls or deal with logistics. She really makes traveling easy and stress-free.
She even had a sweet little note waiting for us at check-in, which made us feel extra welcome and cared for. It’s those thoughtful touches that really set her apart. You can tell she genuinely enjoys creating special experiences for her clients.
We’re so grateful to have her on our side for trips like this. Highly recommend her for anyone who wants to travel worry-free!

Ashley was amazing! I shared a few personal preferences before my trip, and she delivered perfectly. A handwritten note, a bottle of wine, and even a dog bed and toy were waiting in my room. Her restaurant picks were spot-on, and her attention to detail made the whole experience feel truly special. Highly recommend!
— Scott
Ashley is an expert and extremely detail oriented, not to mention her response time is impeccable! She was able to get us a very early check-in which was above and beyond! She is the best!!
