About Elite Travel and Events Inc
Curating Extraordinary Journeys Worldwide
At Elite Travel and Events Inc, luxury travel is more than a service — it’s our family tradition. Founded in 2000 by Melody Sadleir, a seasoned veteran of United Airlines with over 50 years of experience in the travel industry, our agency was built on a passion for exploring the world and sharing it in extraordinary ways.
Today, Melody is joined by her son, Danny Sadleir, who brings a modern, forward-thinking approach to travel planning. With a strong eye for design, deep industry knowledge, and a gift for personal connection, Danny curates experiences that are immersive, stylish, and effortlessly seamless. Supporting the team is Jim Sadleir, Melody’s husband and a retired acupuncturist and chiropractor, who ensures our financial operations run smoothly with the same care and precision we apply to every itinerary.
Based just outside Chicago, our family-owned business specializes in curated luxury travel, small group tours, destination weddings, exclusive incentive events, and one-of-a-kind escapes. From the moment you contact us to the moment you return home, you’ll experience world-class service curated specifically to you — because we believe the best travel experiences are personal.
Whether you're dreaming of a romantic escape, an unforgettable family adventure, or a flawlessly executed corporate retreat, Elite Travel and Events Inc is your trusted partner in creating journeys as unique as you are.
Let our family help you discover the world — with elegance, insight, and intention.
