how do I go about planning a destination wedding?
January 22, 2009
I would like more information about how to go about planning a destination wedding? I would love it if anyone had advice or names of places/people who I can contact to get more information.
A good starting place is picking the general location, like what country, or what city/state. You'll want to look at the marriage requirements for the country or state to see what is involved. Also, decide if the wedding is just the 2 of you or do you intend to invite family/friends. And pick a date range.
Once you have the general info, you can do web searches for good hotels, resorts, etc, that offer destination wedding packages. Many resorts like Sandals, Beaches, and Palace will offer packages that include a free wedding. But it can be easier to be married in the US sometimes.
Once you pick the location, they'll have a wedding coordinator or catering manager who will help you arrange other vendors like photographer, officiant, musicians, etc.
Congrats and have fun planning!
