Cruises, All-Inclusive, Group and Luxury Travel

Traveling has always been my passion, but one of the things I love most is planning a vacation and then watching it come alive before my eyes! There’s something magical about going through all of the options, choosing the best, and then finally experiencing it. With my love of planning and adventure, it was only a matter of time before I became a travel agent!

I was originally in sales for over 10 years before going into the travel industry. However, I have been creating vacations and enjoying them my entire life! I’ve traveled extensively throughout Europe, Hong Kong, and the US.

I originally started by planning my own vacations along with trips for my family, friends, and business partners. I took the booking process very seriously, and I worked hard to ensure that they got the most out of their time and experience.

Today, I specialize in luxury vacations including cruises, group travel, all-inclusive vacations, and family getaways to destinations all over the world! I have also taken multiple courses to have the specialist knowledge required to always create the best packages.

I will help to:

  • Take the stress out of booking
  • Prepare all paperwork before you travel
  • Deal with any changes or requests during your trip
  • Ensure that your vacation is unforgettable
  • And much more!

I know how difficult booking on your own can be. With so many options, it can be stressful finding the flights, resorts, and activities that fit you best. With my experience, I will listen to you and find exactly what you’re looking for!

I have planned trips for my family to Germany and Bulgaria, and I have created luxury cruises to Alaska, Greece, and beyond. The world is worth exploring, and I want to help everyone experience the best of their destination.

I will provide you with exciting tips to make your vacation unique and incredible. Whether you want to spend time at a Disney theme park with your family or enjoy a honeymoon in the Caribbean, I will work with you to make it your greatest trip yet!

I enjoy finding hidden locations in popular cities, and I always love a good traveling challenge. I will take care of all of the logistics so you can relax and enjoy everything without worries.

Get personalized service that you cannot get from on-line travel services! Contact me today so we can begin booking your perfect vacation!

Our favorite vacation of all time!

Reviewed By KC - Copley, Ohio | Traveled to Europe
Lori did a fabulous job of creating a vacation to remember. We traveled around Europe on a cruise visiting France, Italy and Spain with some extra days in Paris and Normandy. She found some wonderful excursions which allowed us to see some magnificent places and experience some exciting adventures as well. She organized all of the information in a nice binder which made it simple to follow throughout this two week adventure. I would highly recommend Lori for your European and Cruise Vacations.

Our dream vacation!

Reviewed By Tami - Ashland Ohio | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Lori was so wonderful to work with from beginnning to end! There’s so much time, discussions and decisions that go into planning, and we felt she was always willing to talk and try to accomodate everything we wanted to do. There were no major issues during our trip, but the couple small things we ran into were handled by Lori and our contact in Italy. It was a great experience for our first time abroad and would highly recommend Lori!

What amazing experiences we had during our trip.

My husband and I highly recommend LG Custom Travel for planning your next adventure. Lori listened carefully to our expectations and planned our trip accordingly.

Will call her again the next time we travel!

Reviewed By Bill M - Ashland, OH | Traveled to Paris ~ France ~ Europe
We don't travel much, and I first set out to plan the trip myself using online web tools. It was quickly overwhelming, and so I did a quick search for a local travel agent, found Laura's contact info, and tossed a short note her way. She immediately responded, gathered the needed information from me, and got to work setting up our flight and hotel. It took a load off my mind and allowed us to concentrate on planning other aspects of our trip. Later, when our flight was delayed and we expected to miss our connection, I called Laura, who guided us through a "plan B" and made the revised arrangements.(We ended up not needed it, and all went well... but it was so good to have someone alongside my during that initial confusion and disappointment of have to change our plans.)
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Laura Gribben responded:
Thank you, Bill! It was a pleasure working with you! I am so happy that you got to enjoy the time in Paris with your daughter and everything ended up the way you planned, despite the little glitch with the weather holding you up!

Fantastic Honeymoon

Reviewed By Zack Sidle - Ashland, Ohio | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Laura was great to work with. The stress and all the details of planning our wedding left us with little time to plan the actual honeymoon. I reached out to Laura and she walked us through all the steps without hassle.

It was nice to work with someone I could trust and know that I was being taken care of so I could focus on our wedding planning.

She also took care of all the transportation to and from the airport and covered our fees at the airport to get through customs. It made the trip much smoother and relaxing!
