Planning a destination wedding takes a lot of time and is stressful if you are trying to do it all on your own. Here are my top 3 destination wedding planning tips to help make the process much easier.
Know before you go – the requirements for a legal wedding to take place in your chosen destination. If you just want a symbolic ceremony performed it will save you time, money & a lot of extra work.
Budget for extras – the free wedding packages you see do not include everything that you will want to make your day extra special. Tiered wedding package inclusions are for a certain number of guests only and each additional guest will cost you more. Package enhancements such as larger wedding bouquets, upgraded photo services and special wedding decor will add to your cost.
Hire a professional wedding planner – trying to get information from onsite wedding coordinators can be like pulling teeth sometimes. Most onsite coordinators will not begin finalizing your plans until 3 months before your wedding date; why wait when you can have everything completed much sooner? It is an additional investment to make, but you will have peace of mind, and does not cost as much as you think.
