Luxury Honeymoons, Destination Weddings & Once-in-a-Lifetime Adventures

Every couple has a different love story.

Your honeymoon or destination wedding should be just as unique.

Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting times of your life, but it can also feel overwhelming. Between choosing venues, photographers, florists and a hundred other decisions, it's no surprise that the honeymoon often ends up further down the list than it deserves.

That's where Lynne (The Holiday Artist) comes in.

Working independently under the fully financially protected Merlin Travel Group, Lynne specialises in creating luxury honeymoons, destination weddings and bespoke travel experiences that are designed entirely around each couple. Whether you've known your dream destination for years or have absolutely no idea where to begin, she'll guide you every step of the way.

Perhaps you've always imagined an overwater villa in the Maldives. Maybe you're dreaming of an African safari, a luxury Italian escape, island hopping in the Caribbean or something completely different. Or perhaps you've recently started wondering whether a destination wedding could actually be the perfect fit for you.

Whatever your vision looks like, Lynne's role is simple.

To make the entire experience exciting, effortless and unforgettable.

Having grown up in South Africa and recently planned her own destination wedding in Mauritius, Lynne understands both the practical side of planning and the emotions that come with creating a once-in-a-lifetime trip. She combines personal experience with more than a decade in the travel industry to help couples make confident decisions without feeling overwhelmed.

As an independent travel specialist, Lynne isn't tied to selling one particular supplier or package. She works with many of the UK's leading tour operators, luxury hotels, cruise lines and trusted ground partners, allowing her to recommend what's genuinely right for each couple.

In most cases, booking through Lynne won't cost you anything extra, as she's paid by her trusted travel partners rather than by you. You'll simply benefit from expert advice, carefully researched recommendations, financial protection and a personal service that's with you from your very first enquiry until you're safely back home.

If something unexpected happens while you're away, you won't find yourself spending hours on hold to airlines or tour operators. That's Lynne's job. You carry on making memories while she quietly works behind the scenes to put things right.

Every itinerary is thoughtfully designed around the people travelling.

Recent journeys have included bespoke honeymoons through Mexico, Miami and Cancun, luxury safaris across Botswana and South Africa, destination weddings in Jamaica and Mauritius, milestone celebrations in Australia and New Zealand, and tailor-made family adventures across the Indian Ocean.

No two couples are the same.

No two itineraries should be either.

Whether you're planning the honeymoon you've always dreamed about, considering a destination wedding, celebrating a milestone anniversary or simply looking for someone you can trust to guide you through the process, Lynne would love to help.

Because your honeymoon isn't just another holiday.

It's the first chapter of your married life.

Let's make it unforgettable.

The perfect wedding & honemoon

Lynne booked us a Greek Islands destination wedding and we couldn't be happier with how it all went. Everything was seamless and exactly what we wanted. Lynne even coordinated and arranged the bookings for our family and friends who joined us. It was so stress free and everything we wanted for our big day was accommodated effortlessly. We were most impressed by the price. We felt we got so much for our money and it cost us a lot less than we would have spent doing it here in the UK. Highly recommend Lynne, especially for destination LGBTQ friendly weddings. Thank you!

If you’re planning your honeymoon, just speak to Lynne. Seriously.

From the first conversation, Lynne completely understood what we wanted, including the bits we couldn’t quite put into words ourselves. What impressed us most was how much she cared about getting it right. She was incredibly responsive, patient with our endless questions and completely honest about where she thought our money was worth spending and where it wasn’t. There was never any pressure to book something more expensive. Looking back, using Lynne was one of the best decisions we made throughout the whole wedding process. She didn’t just book us a holiday. She removed the stress, gave us confidence in what we were spending and created something that felt incredibly special.

I genuinely wouldn’t book another big trip without her.

Exceptional from Start to Finish

Lynne was a godsend. Truly! We thought a destination wedding would be easy, but when we started planning it was a minefield. Way too many choices with no easy way to filter down to what we were looking for. We reached out to The Holiday Artist and it was all smooth sailing from there. All we had to figure out was the guest list and what we were wearing. Lynne did everything else, including sorting out the flights and accommodation for our guests. She was attentive, quick with responses, thoughtful.... we cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you!

Excellent Customer Service and a Trustworthy TA on your Side

Absolutely could not have got through my wedding without them. Firstly the destination recommendation for our wedding and honeymoon ticked all our boxes. The location was well thought out, and it's clear they are experts on Mauritius. We felt very well informed going into this. Secondly, when a hiccup arose pre-wedding due to legal issues and inefficiences within the Civil Status Office, the hotel did not make us feel supported, but these guys did. It was in no way their fault, but they were the only ones to make us feel like someone had our backs. Just a friendly ear to listen was enough, but they went far beyond that. Tirelessley pushing the hotel for answers and compensation.

I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Over the Moon

What can I say? Lynne was exceptional at helping us plan our honeymoon. We had been putting it off because it was too stressful to think about around our jobs and the wedding, and everything else. My now wife and I also had very conflicting ideas about we what we wanted. We met Lynne from Book it For Me at another wedding of a mutual friend, for which she had arranged the bride and groom's honeymoon. We had a casual conversation about our own upcoming wedding and agreed to let Lynne quote us on our honeymoon after giving her a very brief outline of what we both wanted. She hit the nail on the head with her first quote. We tweaked it slightly and asked for a few amendments, but it perfectly ticked all our boxes. Nothing was too much trouble and Lynne held our hand through all of the pre-travel visa applications we needed to do. We even got a recommended packing list, a nice surprise in the post and guidance on activities we could do.

Having now been on the honeymoon, I can confidently say that Lynne put together one amazing package for us that when we look back at it now, was actually really good value for money. We stayed in 3 different places and all the hotels treated us like gold with complimentary champagne upon arrival...etc. We got a lot more than we expected with many nice little surprises along the way. The accommodation throughout was top class. We now use Lynne for all our holidays and mini breaks. Highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

I'm Lynne Cuthbertson, founder of The Holiday Artist.

Originally from South Africa and now based in the UK, travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I specialise in luxury honeymoons, destination weddings and once-in-a-lifetime escapes. The kind of trips you'll still be talking about on your 50th wedding anniversary.

After planning my own destination wedding in beautiful Mauritius, I know first-hand just how much love, excitement and anticipation goes into choosing the perfect honeymoon or saying "I do" abroad. My goal is simple. To take away the stress, add a touch of magic, and help you create memories that last a lifetime.

As an independent travel specialist, I have the freedom to recommend what's genuinely right for you. I'm not tied to one tour operator or a handful of hotels, which means every itinerary is built around your story, not somebody else's brochure.

When I'm not planning dream holidays, you'll usually find me relaxing with my husband Terry, out walking our Yorkshire Terrier, Shady, or sipping a cocktail somewhere warm... purely for research purposes, of course!
