A few good questions
The details,
answered.
What to know about packages, costs, bookings, content teams, and on-site support. If your question is not here, add it to your trip brief.
01Who is Check-In Studios for?+
Check-In Studios plans trips for influencers, brides, maids of honor, bachelorette and birthday groups, brand teams, hotel partners, and anyone who wants a beautiful trip without managing every detail alone.
02Can I start with only a list of links?+
Yes. The Link List is the lightest-touch option: a selected, booking-ready collection of stays, reservations, experiences, and useful links. You make the final bookings and keep full flexibility.
03What should I send in my first inquiry?+
A city, dates, group size, occasion, one must-do idea, estimated travel budget, and any required photos, videos, or sponsored posts are enough to start. It is fine if some details are still undecided.
04How do I send my trip brief?+
Build the brief on the site, then choose Email your brief or message Check-In Studios on Instagram. Our inbox stays private and is not displayed on the public website.
05When should I inquire?+
As early as you can, especially if your trip needs a sought-after reservation, local creative team, or on-site support. If the date is close, still send the brief. We will confirm whether we can help before work begins.
06How do you plan around social media content?+
It means the itinerary makes room for the photos, videos, or sponsored posts you need without turning the whole trip into a shoot. We can plan the best times and places to create content, transportation between stops, and time to enjoy the trip away from the camera.
07Can you arrange photographers, videographers, editors, or car service?+
Yes. Depending on your package, Check-In Studios can recommend and coordinate optional local partners, including car service, photographers, videographers, and editors. Those costs are priced separately from the planning fee.
08What is included with an on-site Full Check-In?+
Full Check-In is the highest level of support. Courtney joins the trip to test the plan, manage timing, help coordinate approved vendors, and solve problems as they happen. In addition to the package fee, the client pays Courtney's approved travel, hotel, ground transportation, meals, and other work expenses.
09Do you book the travel for me?+
Unless your written proposal says otherwise, you book and pay hotels, restaurants, tickets, transportation, and other travel providers directly. Check-In Studios gives you the recommendations, links, timing, and notes needed to make those bookings.
10Are reservations or prices guaranteed?+
No. Availability, prices, hours, and provider policies can change until you book. We check important details for your trip dates and give you backup options, but your reservation is governed by the provider you book with.
11What happens if the plan changes?+
Your proposal explains the support window included with your package. When remote or on-site support is included, we help adjust the plan within that agreed support. Airline, hotel, venue, and vendor changes remain subject to each provider's policies.
12How do planning fees and trip costs work?+
Your proposal separates the Check-In Studios fee from travel, accommodations, provider costs, and optional photographers, videographers, or editors. You review what is included and what costs extra before the work starts.
13Which cities do you currently support?+
Check-In Studios currently supports Nashville, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Orlando. We may be able to plan another destination depending on the dates, group, and type of trip.
14Are you connected to the hotels, restaurants, parks, or venues shown?+
Check-In Studios is an independent trip-planning and travel-content business. We are not connected to a hotel, restaurant, theme park, venue, or destination unless a partnership is clearly stated.
