About MoonRings
Q: How is MoonRings different from a traditional travel agency?A: Unlike most traditional travel agencies, our sole focus is on bespoke luxury travel. In addition, we take a holistic, door-to-door approach which helps to ensure that each trip is not only the right fit but is also coordinated seamlessly.
We can assist with, and advise on, all key trip elements, from destination selection, logistics and accommodations, to day-to-day activities and dining. Through many years of firsthand experience, we have refined our process further specifically for honeymooners and other special occasion travel, as the needs and parameters are often different from regular vacations.
Finally, it's all about service - we take the utmost care to provide the high level of personal service you deserve. Your time away from home is valuable; our goal is to help you maximize it.

Q: I don't know where to go! How can MoonRings help?A: This is a common situation for many folks, and we know from experience that "one size does not fit all" when it comes to travel.

We wanted to tell you that the trip was amazing. It really was paradise and I can't really say much more than thanks, thanks, and thanks. If any of our friends are looking for an amazing trip, we will definitely send them to MoonRings!

Everything worked out perfectly! The trip was INCREDIBLE!!!!! OMG, the villa we rented was AMAZING, the pictures on the web didn't even do it ANY justice. The chef and his wife were wonderful as well. It was heaven - awesome job!
-- The S. Family, New York, New York
Hawaii could not be a more stress-free place….The Beach House was awesome, you got us a great seat right by the water, and you know how that view is… The tiny sushi restaurant you sent us to seriously could not have been better. We loved it…. We thought you planned a really great trip and couldn't have been happier with it. You fit in the right amount of activities, but you left us plenty of time to just chill out, which was much needed. We'll definitely be recommending MoonRings to anyone that tells us that they're planning a big trip. Thanks again.
-- P&E, Chicago, Illinois
All in all it was a perfect honeymoon for us. Each place was so different from each of the others that we felt like we had 4 distinct mini vacations, each one hitting a different interest of ours. All of your recommendations were spot on (including the smaller ones, such as getting a GPS for the Hunter Valley - life saver). Thanks again for everything and we look forward to working with you again in the future. We will definitely recommend you to our friends.

We had the absolute most amazing time of our lives in Tanzania! Everything we had hoped and imagined it would be was far exceeded by what we actually experienced!! Thank you so much!! We were right in the midst of the migration and saw 3 river crossings complete with crocodiles joining in on the crossing fun! We ended up with over 7,000 photos and 6 hours of video. We could not have imagined a more perfect honeymoon, and all of the places you recommended were great! We are so grateful to you for planning such an amazing adventure for us!
-- D&A, Chicago, IL
Aloha from New Jersey (that just doesn't sound right)! We had an AWESOME trip as usual! Thanks for all your help!!!! Everything went according to plan and was terrific! We had a GREAT time, it was tough to leave but we look forward to returning soon...

Our trip was fantastic, thank you so much for making it special! Ravello was amazing, we met Reese Witherspoon at our hotel which was very cool! … I am sure we will work together in the future, you were a pleasure to work with!!

Our honeymoon to Thailand was the trip of a lifetime. We truly had an incredible time. Thanks again for all of your help throughout the process. We would have been lost without you.
-- S&T, Washington, DC
We had an amazing safari and trip! We'll never forget it. Thank you for all of your suggestions! I'm now trying to figure out how to get my husband back on a long plane ride for another safari... maybe this time to Tanzania?!
-- The D. Family, Norcross, Georgia
I don't know what you said to the Four Seasons Maui, but they treated us with VIP service! From the moment we arrived and were greeted, to when we checked in (we were triple upgraded to an ocean front one bedroom suite) and when we arrived in our room, there was a handwritten note, a red rose, and a bottle of champagne! Thanks again for giving us the best advice and for helping us plan our honeymoon - it was simply perfect! And I look forward to going on vacation again and hope you'll be able to help us out once more! We love you and we love MoonRings!
-- L&L, San Jose, California
In short the trip was absolutely fantastic! We have yet to stop talking about it. We had an incredible time and we don't think that we possibly could have picked a more enjoyable itinerary so thank you so much for your great ideas and recommendations! We had perfect weather so we were able to enjoy the beaches both in San Sebastian and the Costa Brava. The restaurants were all top notch, and the hotels – we haven't stopped gushing yet! The trip was fantastic from beginning to end and we couldn't thank you enough for organizing it for us. Look forward to working with you on our next adventure.
-- A&T, New York, New York
We're back and the trip was fabulous. The Sofitel in Moorea did a very nice job but the Four Seasons in Bora Bora was epic. Truly extraordinary in every aspect. The trip was totally amazing and I look forward to telling you all about it. Also, we got engaged!!!!
-- J&J, San Francisco, California
The week in St. Barths was utterly amazing - this villa was totally spectacular! For me, a perfect location because close to town, to two great beaches and set into the hillside with an amazing view. Restaurant choices were great. So you can see you hit it out of the park again. We can't wait until next year! Thank you for all your hard work to make this such a special, memorable trip for all of us.
