Coordinating a destination wedding requires careful planning and attention to detail. Here’s the essential guide to help you:
1. Choose the Right Destination: Consider factors like travel accessibility, climate, and local regulations.
2. Visit the Location: If possible, visit the destination to check out venues and meet local vendors. (If you haven’t already been, think outside the box – is there a family member near by or can you hire someone from upwork.com or a local planner to send you photos and videos of venues etc to ensure you select the right spot)
3. Hire a Local Planner: A local wedding planner can help navigate the logistics and handle on-the-ground coordination.
4. Research Legal Requirements: Understand the legal requirements for getting married in your chosen destination. (Note all countries have different laws)
5. Consider Guest Accommodation: Ensure there are suitable accommodation options for your guests.
6. Plan Ahead: Send out save-the-dates well in advance to give guests ample time to make travel arrangements.
7. Simplify Logistics: Provide guests with detailed travel information and coordinate group transportation if needed. Make it super clear to guests what will be included and what won’t.
8. Budget for Extras: Include extra costs for travel, accommodation, and any additional legal or administrative fees.
9. Plan Activities: Arrange activities for guests to enjoy during their stay, such as tours or group dinners.
10. Enjoy the Process: Remember to enjoy the planning process and the unique experience of a destination wedding.
