Travel Advisor Team
Crafted by Travelers.
Curated by Experts.
At Ever After Escapes, our travel advisors don’t just book vacations… we live them. From all-inclusive Caribbean resorts and luxury cruises to European adventures, golf getaways, safaris, and bucket-list experiences, our team personally explores the destinations we recommend so we can guide you with real-world insight and firsthand expertise. Because the best journeys aren’t built from brochures — they’re created by people who have felt the ocean breeze, walked the streets, tasted the culture, and experienced the magic for themselves.
Steve Buettner, Founding Partner of Ever After Escapes, brings a lifelong passion for travel, storytelling, and unforgettable experiences to every client adventure. Known as our Cruise and Disney Parks expert, Steve has spent years exploring destinations across England, Germany, Iceland, and beyond while helping others discover the magic of travel for themselves. His passion for cruising, immersive vacations, and family-focused experiences played a major role in the vision behind Ever After Escapes... creating vacations that are more than trips, but lifelong memories. And with a bucket list still packed with dreams like an Alaskan cruise, Japan, and grand European adventures, Steve believes there’s always another incredible journey waiting just beyond the horizon.
