A shared love for travel and celebrating life's most treasured milestones sparked the journey of this husband-and-wife team. Rita began her career in the travel industry at Pan Am in 1988 and went on to open Travel Experts, Inc. in 1992, where she continues to provide expert travel services today. She married Joe, an entrepreneur and business owner, in 1996. Their combined passion for helping others celebrate moments blossomed further in 1997 when they joined "America's favorite birth announcement company," experiencing the joy of helping dreams come true.

After 12 years in the paper industry, Rita and Joe embarked on their own venture, founding Kreative Drive, Inc. in 2009. They began designing and manufacturing distinctive stationery and wedding invitations. However, a new vision emerged in 2010 while attending a local Bridal Show: Rita envisioned creating a seamless "one-stop-shop" to help couples bring their entire wedding dreams to life.

This vision led to Kreative Drive and Travel Experts joining forces. They began partnering with a curated team of wedding professionals, chosen not only for their extensive experience but also for representing the best brands in the wedding industry. In 2011, this collaboration culminated in hosting the first-ever Bridal Cruise Extravaganza at Sea, aboard Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas.

Since then, Kreative Drive and Travel Experts have successfully planned and executed over 1,200 weddings for prestigious hotels and resorts worldwide, including iconic brands like Royal Caribbean and Club Med. They have also booked business and personal travel arrangements for hundreds of clients and families across the globe, many of whom they now consider family.
