A honeymoon concierge service is full-service, personalized trip planning built entirely around one couple and one trip. Instead of you comparing hotel listings, cruise cabins, and flight options across a dozen browser tabs, I do that legwork for you — matching a destination and itinerary to how you actually want to spend your first trip as newlyweds, then handling the bookings, upgrades, and details behind the scenes.

This kind of planning is for engaged and newly married couples who want their honeymoon to feel effortless rather than like a second job on top of wedding planning. I'm Irina Koshkin, founder of MIRUS Travel, and while I'm based in New York, I work with couples across the country — including here in the Seattle area — entirely by phone, video call, text, and email, so distance is never a barrier to getting hands-on support.

What Concierge Honeymoon Planning Actually Includes

When a Seattle couple comes to me to plan a honeymoon, I start by understanding your style as a couple: quiet and secluded, active and adventurous, or somewhere in between. From there I narrow down destinations and travel styles that genuinely fit, drawing on the range of options I work with regularly, from beach destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico to small-ship and river cruises to guided multi-country tours.

Once you settle on a direction, I build out the full itinerary — flights, accommodations, transfers, excursions, and pacing — and I use my relationships with travel partners like Sandals, Club Med, and Explora Journeys to layer in upgrades, room categories, and added amenities that make a honeymoon feel special without you having to ask for them. And unlike a one-time booking, my support continues while you're traveling. If something changes or comes up mid-trip, you have someone to reach, not just a confirmation email.

Why Work With an Advisor Instead of Planning It Yourself

DIY honeymoon research usually means hours spent cross-referencing review sites, resort websites, and cruise line pages, often without a clear way to know which perks or room categories are actually worth paying for. As a Travel Leaders Network Super Agent affiliated with BNT Travel Group, I bring close to a decade of industry experience to that decision-making, so you're not guessing.

Working with an advisor also means one point of contact if plans shift, rather than juggling separate confirmations from a hotel, an airline, and a tour operator on your own. You can read more about my background and approach on my about page, and see how past clients describe working with me in the reviews from verified clients I've collected on Travel Leaders.

How the Process Works for Seattle-Based Couples

Because I work with clients nationwide, being in Seattle doesn't change how the process runs — it's all remote, and it's built around your schedule, not mine. It typically starts with a conversation, by phone or video call, where I ask about your priorities: budget range, preferred time of year, whether you want a single destination or several, and what "relaxing" versus "adventurous" means to you as a couple.

From there, I put together destination and itinerary options for you to react to, refine the details together, and handle the actual booking once you're ready. I personally follow up within 24 hours of an initial inquiry, and I stay reachable by text, email, or Instagram message throughout the planning process and during the trip itself.

A Few Honeymoon Styles I Plan Often

Every couple is different, but a few honeymoon styles come up again and again in my planning conversations:

  • Secluded beach resort: A single destination in the Caribbean or Mexico, often with adults-only or all-inclusive resort options through partners like Sandals or Club Med, built for slow mornings and minimal logistics.
  • Small-ship or river cruise: A more intimate cruise experience through lines like Explora Journeys, Azamara, or Tauck River Cruises, ideal for couples who want to see multiple places without repacking every night.
  • Multi-destination trip: A guided tour or self-paced itinerary across two or three destinations — a mix of city and coast, for example — for couples who want variety within one trip.

Getting Started

If any of this sounds like the honeymoon you're picturing, the next step is simple: reach out and tell me a little about what you have in mind. I'll ask a few questions, put together options, and take it from there. If you have general questions about how I work before reaching out, my FAQ page covers the basics of my process and how consultations work.
