Meet your travel team.

The same people who obsess over every wedding detail at Just Marry! now obsess over your trips. Real travelers, honest advice, zero brochure-speak.

Susan Southerland

Founder

I’ve been planning travel since I was 16, one of my first jobs was with a travel agency. Since then I’ve traveled the world for fun, and I’ve spent more than 34 years planning weddings and honeymoons. I founded Just Marry! in Orlando in 1992, and I bring the same attention to detail, and the same love of a good time, to every trip I plan.

Fun facts: Hometown: Allentown, PA · Guilty pleasure: ice cream · Furry friends: mischievous dachshunds Kevin and Flash · Favorite book: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

Emylie Rose

Travel Specialist

Emylie started in the events world as a little girl at her mother’s side, a wedding planner herself, where she learned that the details make the day. After moving from New England to Florida, she earned her degree in event management from UCF’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management. When she’s not planning, you’ll find her at the Central Florida theme parks or trying a new restaurant, and she always has her next trip on the calendar. (Germany is up next!)

Fun facts: Hometown: Salem, NH · Favorite Disney character: Ariel · Guilty pleasure: Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando.

Diandra Schneider

Travel Specialist

Diandra has been planning travel for 13 years, since 2013, specializing in cruises and group trips, with a real passion for theme park travel. Her favorite trip she ever planned was a two-week European vacation through Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris: tours, train rides, and a stop at Disneyland Paris, where the couple got engaged! Her favorite destination in the world is Barcelona, for the food, the culture, and the history around every corner. What she loves most is the phone call after the trip, when clients tell her how much fun they had and send photos of their favorite moments. When she’s not planning, she’s reading, mostly romance novels and mystery thrillers (bonus points if it’s both).

Fun facts: Planning travel since 2013 · Specialties: cruises & group trips · Favorite destination: Barcelona.

Jordan Pendergrass

Travel Specialist

Jordan knew from a young age she wanted to be part of people’s happiest days, which led her to a degree in Entertainment Management from UCF’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management. She’s driven to make every trip as magical and memorable as the celebrations she’s known for. When she’s not planning, you’ll find her with her Corgi, Jessie, watching scary movies, or hunting down new sushi and coffee shops.

Fun facts: Nickname: Jojo · Hometown: Renton, WA · Favorite Disney characters: Jessie and Sally.

Kind words.

Jordan was absolutely amazing! We had her as our day-of wedding planner, and everything ran smoothly and completely stress-free. She took the time to include all of my details in the timeline and executed everything just as I had envisioned.

Amanda was the absolute best thing to happen to us on our wedding day! She was so kind in all of our interactions leading up to our big day and answered my incessant questions and changes. Day of, she knew exactly who to bother/not bother and always was one step ahead of my needs and wants.
