Professional Travel Concierge

Let me start off by introducing myself. My name is Lauren and I am the founder and owner of Platinum Dreams Travel Concierge as well as a wife and mother of 4. Since I was a child I have always loved to experience new surroundings, cultures and adventures through travel. Travel is not only a passion but a way of life for me and my family. Not only was I lucky enough to travel throughout my childhood and gain so much from it, I have also been fortunate to travel throughout my adult life with and without my family.

My absolute favorite part of traveling is immersing myself in the surroundings of my destination and experiencing all the local culinary delights that are unique to an area. If there is one thing in life that truly makes me feel a sense of bliss, it is traveling somewhere I have never been.

I have been in the travel industry since 2017 and have an extensive knowledge and expertise in many areas of travel including luxury travel, honeymoons, family travels, solo travel, and celebration travels. Through my personal and professional knowledge I am able to create a unique and personal experience right from our first initial consultation call until the moment you arrive home. As a personal travel concierge I strive to curate the perfect trip tailored to your travel dreams and specific needs all while providing exceptional concierge services.

If you are looking to fulfill your bucketlist and travel dreams, then I would love to work with you. Whether you are wanting to sail in the south of France, sip wine in your private Villa in the rolling Hills of Tuscany, visit the European Christmas markets, a honeymoon in Bali, or just want to sit back in a beach side cabana at an all inclusive resort, I am here to assist you.

What is a Professional Travel concierge?

Northern Lights Getaway

Reviewed By Jen - Cochrane, AB | Traveled to Whitehorse ~ Yukon ~ Canada

Lauren helped me build a Northern Lights Getaway to the Yukon for hubby's Christmas gift. Lauren took the time to understand Ray's Bucket List items and managed to create the perfect trip. Lauren was in touch with me during the entire build of the itinerary and even help to present it in a beautiful way for Christmas morning.
This trip was complex with a lot of logistical movement and it was pulled off seamlessly.
The lodge she selected (Mount Logan EcoLodge). Lauren listened carefully to my hesitancy to stay in lodge / family style environment and made the careful selection of Mt. Logan and assured me that we would love it.She was right!We were immediately welcomed and felt like old friends. And at the end it was an emotional goodbye, which shocked both Ray and I.
The "experiences" with the guides were all amazing.
Lauren reached out to check on us - and I loved that! She isn't a book and forget agent-she is invested and it shows! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! She knows her st

Looking for a dream vacation at a steal of a deal? Then you better call Lauren!!! Seriously though, Lauren always comes through with great all-inclusive deals and will NOT (I repeat NOT) sell you on a resort that is anything less than the best! She always has an honest opinion and works with you to find a vacation tailored to your every whim! Don't spend much time at the beach, but love fancy a la carte dinners?

Reviewed By Tina - Beaumont | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico

This was our first time booking with Lauren and I have to say that she made it so easy. All my documents, step by step instructions on what to do when we get there and what to do before we come home.

The resort was beautiful, I gave her my idea of what I wanted and she nailed it and LOVED every minute of our trip.

She was in constant contact with us to make sure things were going good and always available when I had a question.

She is amazing and looking forward to booking our next trip with her.

Reviewed By Sharon & Evan - Crowsnest Pass, AB | Traveled to Europe

Lauren painstakingly planned a 6 week trip for us to Italy, then on to South Africa, plus a week in Mauritius before heading back to Italy to board a transatlantic cruise back to North America. Her attention to detail and patience with me was five star plus. Unfortunately we had to cancel the entire trip and Lauren was able to get us 100% refunds across the board.

Reviewed By Me1stfitnessandcoaching - Red Deer, AB | Traveled to Mexico ~ Mexico

The best travel agent EVER! Lauren has booked me on a amazing vacations. More importantly she was there every step of the way when things didn't go as planned! Unfortunately my last vacation booked had to be canceled because of the state of the world. She has rallied and been my voice, and made it a painless experience for me (even though I know it was difficult for her). I've had Lauren on speed dial when we have had small problems with flights and checking in at Mexico destinations. She has worked tirelessly to ensure my family had the best experiences possible. Lauren your hard work is not unnoticed and is so appreciated. I wish I could pay you back for all your kindness! Thank you for all you do.

I highly recommend booking your next trip through Lauren! I just returned from a solo 3 week trip to Bali and Lauren was absolutely AMAZING from our first conversation in determining the best and safest destination for my first solo trip, to her expertise in selecting my accommodations and excursions. Lauren is on top of everything and is so diligent and committed to her clients. She was in contact with me by fb Messenger throughout my trip.
