About Me
Jennifer Root, CMP - Travel Advisor

My ROOTS are in professional conference and event planning. Over 35 years of experience planning hundreds of events, for thousands of attendees, managing millions of details to deliver exceptional experiences. Details matter when planning travel and I am PICKY about them. I expect more when it comes to travel, and so should you.


I design travel experiences for people who don't just want a vacation, they want to come home transformed. I specialize in crafting trips around exploration, real connection, local culture, incredible food, and fine wine, including cruises that are casually refined. 

  • Meticulously planned culinary, wine, and wellness focused travel.
  • Casually refined cruises on Virgin Voyages, Celebrity Cruises, Viking, and AmaWaterways. 
  • Group travel for milestone celebrations, clubs, families, teams, reunions, and more.


Travel that focuses on exploring the world deeply, prioritizing our own wellness, and savoring incredible food and wine along the way. If you are ready to trade the buffets for chef-curated tasting menus and trading crowded theme parks for romantic cobblestone streets, you are in the right place.


Origin of the name "The Travel Planning Team" 

The Travel Planning Team is just me, so why do I call my business "The Travel Planning Team?" In 2016 I started my own conference and meeting planning business and my clients are small staff organizations that don't have a full-time conference planner. It was important to me that they feel that I am a part of their team, so the name "Team Events and Meetings (TEAM) was born. 


As I build my travel business, TEAM also is a perfect reflection of what I do: I connect you with travel that is Transformative, Elevated, Authentic, and Memorable. It's important that you know I'm on YOUR team. I don't work for a booking engine, cruise line, or destination, I work for YOU so you're never planning alone.

Always Learning. Always Professional.

The Travel Planning Team is dedicated to continuing education, learning, and being connected to stay knowledgeable, and ready to curate the best journeys.

Sometimes we think of luxuries as something that only the very wealthy have access to. Or a certain type of ticket class, ship or hotel. Honestly, if you asked a hundred people what luxury is, you’d get a hundred different answers. But almost any definition has one throughline: service.


Luxury is someone else taking care of details and preventing problems. It’s knowing there’s an expert out there who can and will be your advocate. And it’s a feeling that is sometimes difficult to put into words: being remembered, looked after, important.
