About: Bill Parise

Bill Parise - Your Travel Agent for Life!

For over 14 years I have established myself as a skilled professional in customer service, sales, and retail marketing, and have succesfully carried these skills and experiences into the travel industry. Starting my career in travel as a retail travel counsellor, in only a few years I became a retail travel agency manager, and a few more years after that I took on the position of a Corporate and Cruise Business Developer for a major travel/vacation company.

I had the opportunity to establish my travel career in Winnipeg and Vancouver, B.C, and then come back to Winnipeg, my home town to once again service my clients. With an entreprenuerial spirit and being self-employed in the past was enough motivation that I needed to take the next step in starting my own travel business.

With our partnership with Travel Professionals International, I have the best of both worlds. A travel network and source to draw from, and the flexibility to develop our own work schedule that works best for our clients.

We Had Our Very Own Destination Wedding In Cuba!

Destination Wedding - Varadero, Cuba

With the both of us being in the travel business, and having the opportunity to arrange and book several destination weddings in the past, our obvious choice was to do our own destination wedding, and our choice was to have our special celebration at an All-Inclusive Resort in Varadero, Cuba. Maria and I married in March of 2004 at Melia Las Antillas (formerly the Beaches Resort) located in Varadero, Cuba.

For the convenience and the peace-of-mind, plus the incredible memories that our 42 guests brought back home with them, can only be expressed as being priceless for all of us!

This is a picture of us during our wedding ceremony at the Resort in Varadero. Prior to exchanging our vows, we had a local Cuban band play, which was fanstastic, and in this picture we're about to have some champagne and cut into the mouth-watering wedding rum cake!

If your dream is to have a destination wedding, we would love to assist you with all your arrangements. Our experience and knowledge can be invaluable to you, and when it comes to the details, we have been through it all.

Whether you decide to get married on an exotic Island, a fairytale wedding in Disneyland, or a special cruise ship ceremony, we will be happy to guide you ever step of the way.
