Meet Jeni Chaffer

Travel Consultant, Agency Owner & President
Journeys Travel Inc. | Journey Down the Aisle

Experience matters when your celebration is miles from home.

I'm Jeni, and I bring 20 years of travel planning experience to the decisions that shape your destination wedding or honeymoon. My role is to listen to what matters to you, help you understand the options, and bring a clear plan to the travel details.

Journey Down the Aisle is the Destination Wedding & Romance Travel Division of Journeys Travel Inc., based in Bourbonnais, Illinois. I specialize in Mexico, the Caribbean, Costa Rica, Belize, and beyond.

With firsthand resort knowledge and strong supplier relationships, I help you look beyond the beautiful photos to find a destination, resort, and travel experience that fit your priorities.

Let's talk about your plans

How I help

Thoughtful planning. Clear next steps.

A fit for you and your guests

For destination weddings, we consider your celebration, guest needs, travel budgets, room blocks, and arrival logistics together.

Resort knowledge with context

I help you compare the resort atmosphere, room categories, destination timing, and travel details that affect your actual experience.

Support through the decisions

Expect practical explanations, organized next steps, and coordination with resort and destination partners for your agreed service.

Beyond the itinerary

A little more about me.

Travel is a big part of my life, but it isn't the whole story. Meet Jovi, take a peek at my travels, and see another place you'll find me: singing.

Out exploring

From a scenic overlook to a seaside setting, I love getting out and experiencing places for myself.

Jovi & me

A familiar face, and a furry one.

If you're getting to know me, Jovi belongs in the introduction, too. This is the more personal side of Jeni: a love of travel, a dog close by, and plenty of ideas for what's next.

Planning your celebration starts with getting to know each other. I want to hear what you enjoy, what matters to you, and what you're imagining.

Music & connection

When I'm not talking travel, you may find me singing. It's another part of my life that brings people and shared experiences together.
