There are simply tons of destinations, resorts, hotels and venues that offer Destination Weddings. Too many really ! Plus they all look appealing and kind of similar. It’s tough to know where to start let alone figure out which offering is really right for you!
So with that in mind we decided to come up with a few broad focus tips to help you get passed the overwhelm and narrow down your search options so that you get to a workable starting point.
Tip 1. Define your guest list – Who are you going to invite, why, and what are their needs?
Make a list of who you would like to invite to your destination wedding and write down the reasons why you would like to share this celebration with them. Besides your wedding day, think about what kinds of other experience you would like to share with your loved ones and what would they enjoy?
Ask yourself:
Will there be kids or older guests or people with mobility challenges?
How do you envision spending your days either side of the wedding ?
Do you see yourself sharing quality time, enjoying the comforts and many services of leading all-inclusive resorts? Such as relaxing by the pool, relaxing with spa treatments, or just throwing a big pool party at the swim up bar ?
Or
Would you and your guests rather share the cultural experience of a hippy Chic boutique hotel where you can connect with art and nature and mingling with tuluminati trendsetters aka edgy world travelers?
Or
Maybe maybe the traveller in you seeks to share new authentic, colonial and cultural experiences?
Or
Maybe you are dreaming of sharing the experiences of world-class fun parks and tours with your loved ones ?
Consider how much money your guests could afford to spend?
Talk to those closest to you, find out budget and yours.
Once you have those answers down, then you would have narrowed your search options significantly and will be ready to move onto the next step.
