HOW IT WORKS

01

Fill Out the Travel Style Questionnaire

To get started, we'll need to gather your travel details, occasion and find out more about your interests through a brief questionnaire so we can craft the perfect itinerary for you!

02Choose From Two Custom Itineraries

Detailed itinerary listing activities, notes, and addresses for the first two days of a Traverse City trip, highlighting Dashing Departure's personalized planning approach.
A detailed itinerary for Day 2 of a trip organized by Dashing Departure featuring breakfast, a day activity called 'Paddle for Pints', and options for dinner and evening outings, with addresses and notes provided for each activity.

After we discover your travel style, we’ll send an invoice for 50% of the planning fee so we can start researching and putting together two custom itinerary outlines tailored to your occasion and interests! This will include a preliminary plan for each day of your trip including recommendations for accommodations, restaurants, and activities.

03

Save Hours Researching and Booking

After we know your preference for your getaway we'll handle all the logistics! We'll book accommodations, restaurants, activities, transportation and more!

  • "Brittany is thorough, detailed and creative! Everything she suggests is so well done, and her attention to everything is impeccable. Five stars at least!"

  • "Dashing Departure was awesome to work with! With so much to do in Traverse City we were a little overwhelmed when planning our trip - Brittany took care of everything! The communication was fantastic and it was so nice being on a trip that I didn't have to worry about arranging."

  • "I used Dashing Departure to plan my best friend's 40th birthday and it was amazing! I love that I got to choose from different itineraries and all the unique things recommended. I would have never thought to do the kayak bike and brew event and we had a blast! On top of that, not having to research and call a bunch of restaurants to see who accepts large parties was such a time saver! I would highly recommend Dashing Departure."

  • "Brittany does an amazing job! She's thorough, creative and thoughtful. I can't say enough good things!"

  • 40th Birthday Party

    "I loved that all we had to do was answer a few simple questions about our interests and DD was able to take that info and plan the best weekend for my wife’s birthday! By everything being planned for us we were able to truly enjoy the weekend with family and friends!"

    — Pam

  • Girls Trip

    "As 10 tired Mom's just trying to getaway for a girls trip, Dashing Departure was exactly what we needed. They setup our entire weekend from booking our wine tour and all our dining reservations. They knew the ins and outs of each destination. It made planning our trip so easy and we had a blast!"
