A Little About Me
Travel planning, with a personal touch
Turning "I do" into "we did."
Melissa Woods is the founder of Enchanted Woods Travel based in Mansfield-Arlington, Texas, a destination-wedding and all-inclusive travel advisor for Dallas-Fort Worth couples. Since 2017, she has handled the travel side of destination weddings and honeymoons in Mexico and the Caribbean: matching couples with the right resort, coordinating guest group bookings, and staying in their corner from the first call to the trip home. She is a Destination Wedding Specialist and member of the Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Specialists Association (DWHSA), and couples have left Enchanted Woods Travel 120+ five-star reviews.
Her background is in psychology, and it shows in how she works: listening closely, asking the right questions, and understanding what a couple or family actually needs before recommending where they go.
Melissa's expertise spans resort and cruise selection, group coordination for wedding parties, guest management, contract navigation, and personalized itinerary design. Whether she's helping a couple compare honeymoon destinations, coordinating travel for an entire wedding party, or planning a Disney trip down to the smallest detail, she brings the same level of care to every trip.
Accessible travel is personal to her, not just professional. Melissa travels with her own gluten and fragrance sensitivities, and that firsthand experience is part of why she became a Certified Autism Travel Professional (IBCCES): she understands what it takes to plan a trip that actually works for the traveler in front of her.
She's a devoted wife and mother, and that same instinct for planning, patience, and care shows up in every trip she designs for her clients.

Planning that feels like a conversation
Personal, not corporate
You work directly with me from the first call to the final payment. No departments, no call centers, no getting handed off to someone new halfway through.
Here for the whole trip
From the first conversation to the moment you’re home, I’m your point of contact. Questions before you go, changes along the way, and a real person when you need one.
I listen before I recommend
My background is in psychology, so I start with questions. What you actually want from a trip usually isn’t the first thing you say, and that’s what I plan around.
Experience you can check
