Lana Sharr

Owner

Lana has over 20 years in the travel and hospitality Industry and is a avid traveler herself.

She was born abroad and lived in Italy and Vienna, prior to arriving to the US. She had the opportunity to relocate with her family and reside in both the East and West Coast prior to settling to Arizona. Europe is her forte and having traveled to over 30 destinations across the globe, she is just as well versed when it comes to other parts of the world. Lana's biggest thrill when traveling is learning about the history, culture, and local cuisine of the countries and people she is visiting. Her sense of adventure allows her to feel just as comfortable cave tubing in Belize as she is on a Silversea's luxury liner.

Lana consistently delivers amazing travel experiences for all budgets and tastes, and has a large following of happy clients. When she is planning a destination wedding, a intimate honeymoon, a luxury river cruise, or a visit to the Holy City, Lana takes great pride in delivering the perfect experience for you, every time.

Businesses appreciate Lana's expertise when it comes to finding the perfect corporate event venue at the best possible price. From a single hassle-free route from point A to B, to a large group whose flights need to be coordinated, Lana handles it quickly and with ease.

Lana's most memorable travel experiences to date include visiting the beloved and inviting city of Sienna, Tuscany, eating the best soufflés and escargot in Paris, shopping for spices at the local markets in Grenada and of course her own beautiful destination wedding in the Caribbean with her toes in the sand saying "I do" while sharing the experience with her closest friends and family.

Lana specializes in:

  • Destination Weddings and intimate Honeymoons
  • Cruises to include River Cruises
  • Group Travel (reunions, multi generational and sports teams)
  • Faith and Heritage Travel
  • Corporate Incentive Travel
  • Wellness Travel

She is committed to exceeding your expectations and will work tirelessly to make your travel trips a reality.
 

She’s simply the best! From patiently working with us to select our resort of choice (we were likely the pickiest couple of all times which meant more work for her:) to answering our annoying one million and one questions; to efficiently and effectively coordinating travel for our guests and making sure our day was the most beautiful. Not sure what else to say other than I can’t wait for her to be the wedding planner for our future kids :) She’s awesome!

Lana,
The entire trip was magical! We literally cannot thank you enough, it was super special! We will forever have a special place in our hearts for Los Cabos and even thought about having a destination wedding but soooo many thoughts come into factor with having a wedding. Most likely saving for a down payment and having an intimate ceremony then going on a romantic honeymoon somewhere! 
Here are some of my favorite pics, which turned out spectacular! 
Michael had NO IDEA about it all and was surprised. 

Lana was wonderful to work with! She was very attentive and handled our group of 125 very well. No one in our group had anything but kind words to say about working with Lana! We planned our wedding to Cabo prior to the pandemic and followed through with it in January of 2022. Lana handled all travel and helped coordinate our wedding! We really could not have asked for a better experience for our COVID wedding and will be working with her again in the future with group travel!

Lana saved the day on our last-minute vacation during the tumultuous time of the pandemic. She was responsive and even helped us while we were on our vacation when we decided to extend our trip and needed to rebook all of our flights. We had the most amazing trip and will definitely use Quintess Travels again. 

Kathleen and I are getting settled back in from our Dream Destination Wedding. Everyone had such a great time! The resort was absolutely beautiful and we may be going back next year for our anniversary. We didn’t have any complaints and would recommend the venue to any future clients of yours. Our room was upgraded to a 1 BR ocean view and was PERFECT, we thank you for all the strings you pulled and calls you made! We were greeted with chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of champagne, compliments of your VIP treatment. Our group is all home and healthy. Thank YOU for everything! A Destination Wedding during a pandemic year was not only possible and safe but also we had peace of mind as your service was very attentive and the hotel had very good health protocols.

Hi Lana!  
We just wanted to check in and say THANK YOU for the welcome here at Four Seasons Bora Bora. 
We are so very happy with everything but the only problem is, we may not want to return home 🙂 
And we ended up upgrading since the room they upgraded us in Tahaa was so amazing, we went for the plunge pool and Mountain View 😎🥰
Thanks,
Colleen and Todd 


I wanted to thank you SO SO much. Thank you for everything, from the gifts to all of your help with booking, organizing, and planning there is NO WAY I would have been able to pull this off without you. Our stay was absolutely perfect as was our wedding- we can't stop talking about it (and neither can our guests). Our wedding day was 10 times better than I imagined it would be-that bridal floor in the spa omg we walked in and were like Woah this is all for us?!?! They took care of everything and I didn't have to stress about a single thing. The pier was STUNNING, I am so glad we picked that spot. When my dad and I walked up from the golf cart literally everyone at Jojo's bar and the restaurant area stood up and started clapping (right before I walked down the aisle) I burst into tears, it was so overwhelming (but in a good way). 

We ended up having the reception dinner at La Isla and they had it just open for us, I was not expecting that at all. In my mind, they were just going to push some tables together at one of the restaurants but it was the whole place just for us. After dinner, we went to Las Guacamayas and there was live music and the women preforming called all of the groomsmen and Dylan up onto stage (it was HILARIOUS). Especially because Dylan gave all the guys matching Hawaiian shirts to change into! Then she had me come up on stage-then had my dad come up and dance with me. It was one of those unplanned, spontaneous things that just end up being perfect. The whole day was magical- I can't wait to see the video!!!!! (and the pictures from our photographer). 

Our honeymoon... no words. The day we had the cabana may have been one of my favorite days-- they didn't have a lot of people that day so they gave the presidential cabana. We felt soo pampered and relaxed and laughed literally all day. Those massages...OMG- me and Dylan left saying we have to start doing couples massages monthly haha. 

For excursions we did Tulum, swam/snorkeled in one of the cenotes and then went to Xcaret...loved every minute of both. We also LOVED doing yoga on the pier every morning, best way to start the day. 

I could literally go on and on- we definitely want to go back and I am pretty sure most of our guests want to go back too. 

We love all our pictures and can't stop looking at them, thank you again for everything you did to make our day the most amazing day of our life.

Lana, our honeymoon was absolutely amazing! I took so many amazing pictures. We absolutely loved the resort as well as the excursion you recommended. The tour guide was great! Very knowledgeable!

Thank you so much for helping us plan an amazing honeymoon! We will definitely be reaching out again for future trips!

We just wanted to let you know that Angelica and I are you thankful for all your help with our wedding. We had such an incredible time! We also got your picture frame and have put it to good use! Thank you for everything it was such a pleasure to work with you and help make such a special day even more amazing. 

We had an amazing time in Maui for our wedding, I appreciate you making all of our arrangements for us and our guests. Thank you for everything, for our 1 year anniversary we will contact you to plan everything. 
Thanks
