Meet Tahryn Nicastro

Travel advice built on experience, not guesswork.

I’m Tahryn Nicastro, owner of Shore to Sea Vacations, a New Jersey-based travel agency specializing in honeymoons, destination weddings and the kind of bucket-list trips you’ve been talking about taking for years.

I started Shore to Sea Vacations in 2016 after years of being the person friends and family trusted to figure out where to go, where to stay and how to make a trip work.

What started as a side business grew into something much bigger. Today, I plan hundreds of trips each year for clients throughout the Northeast and across the country, from honeymoons in the Maldives and French Polynesia to destination weddings throughout Mexico and the Caribbean, multi-stop European itineraries, African safaris, cruises and milestone trips around the world.

But the way I approach planning hasn’t really changed. I pay attention to the details that determine whether a trip actually feels right once you’re there.

As featured in Travel Weekly, Brides, New Jersey Bride and Wedding File. Speaker at the Sandals Northeast Region Marketing Summit, Classic Vacations E3, and the Travel Leaders Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Leaders Alliance Summit; first guest of Season 2 of Travel Leaders' WED Talk podcast.

The destination isn’t the decision. The experience is.

Two resorts can have the same five-star rating and deliver completely different vacations.

Two couples can have the same honeymoon budget and need completely different itineraries.

And the hotel everyone on Instagram loves may not be the hotel I’d choose for you.

That’s why I start with how you want to experience the trip.

Do you want to explore or completely unplug? Is the beach the priority, or would you sacrifice the better beach for an incredible room and better food? Is upgrading to the overwater villa worth it, or would I rather put that money somewhere else? Should you spend the entire week in one place or combine destinations?

Those are the decisions that shape a trip. My role is to help you make the right ones.

Firsthand travel is a major part of how I advise my clients.

I’ve stayed at or toured resorts throughout the Maldives, French Polynesia, Hawaii, Greece, Mexico and the Caribbean, including nearly every Sandals and Beaches resort. I travel to understand the differences that aren't always obvious online: how a resort feels, which room locations I prefer, what the beach is really like, how the transfers work and whether an experience lives up to the price.

I meet with hotel management, tour properties, walk room categories and experience the destinations I recommend whenever I can.

Because when you’re investing in a honeymoon, destination wedding or trip you’ve been dreaming about for years, I don’t want to make a recommendation based on a photo and a hotel description.

AMAZING! Must use Tahryn for honeymoon planning! I can’t say enough good things about Tahryn. I found her on wedding wire and in a local bridal group on Facebook and she has been nothing but amazing through our planning for our honeymoon. Brittany G.

The Love is Mutual

WORK WITH ME

I believe in seeing it for myself.

Experience matters. So does who you know.

Over the years, my work has been recognized by many of the travel partners and professional organizations I work with.

I’m a Sandals Platinum Elite Advisor and Sandals & Beaches Silver Wedding Specialist, a multi-year Classic Vacations FIT STAR Performer, a DWHSA Ambassador, and a member of Travel Leaders Network’s Luxury Leaders Alliance and Honeymoon & Destination Wedding Leaders Alliance.

My travel expertise has been featured in Forbes, Travel Weekly, Brides and New Jersey Bride, and I’ve been invited to speak at industry events for Sandals, Classic Vacations and Travel Leaders Network.

Those relationships and recognitions matter to me, but ultimately they matter because of what they allow me to bring back to my clients: better information, stronger relationships and people I can call when I need an answer.

A Little more about me

I’m a Jersey girl through and through. When I’m not traveling or working on a client’s trip, you’ll usually find me somewhere near the Jersey Shore, trying a new restaurant, spending time with my husband or at home with our rescue dog.

Travel has taken me all over the world, but New Jersey is home. 

The trips may change. Our relationship doesn’t.

A lot of my clients first find me when they’re planning their honeymoon. Then I hear from them again for an anniversary. A birthday. A family vacation. The trip to Italy they’ve talked about forever. A safari. Bora Bora. Japan. Somewhere they haven’t even decided on yet.

That’s one of my favorite parts of what I do. I get to learn how my clients like to travel and use that knowledge again and again as their lives, and their travel, change.

You don’t need to know exactly where you want to go before we talk. You just need to know you’re ready to start planning something worth remembering.

Let’s figure out what that looks like.
