Planning a destination wedding is surely a very exciting and memorable experience. But as thoughts of organizing travel for 50 guests, planning from hundreds (or thousands!) of miles away and potential language barriers creep in, it can quickly become very overwhelming. Don’t be discouraged! We’ve broken down the initial planning process into these 3 steps to help ensure that your destination wedding goes smoothly and is everything you've dreamed of and more. Keep reading to see how easy it can be!

HELP! I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT A DESTINATION WEDDING

1. Partner with an experienced Destination Wedding Travel Agent

Working with a destination wedding travel agent is essential for smooth and seamless wedding planning. A good agent will help you navigate the process and handle all the details both for you and your guests, making sure every detail has been attended to. Look for a travel agent who has experience planning destination weddings and is familiar with the locations you're considering. Any agent can book a trip, but you need someone who can book a wedding AND a trip for many guests. They should also be organized, responsive, and able to provide resort recommendations based on your preferences, style and budget.

2. Choose the Perfect Resort

The resort you choose for your destination wedding will set the stage for your entire event, so it's important to consider the best options and choose what’s right for your group. Consider factors such as location, price, amenities, atmosphere, adult only/family friendly, beach, wedding venues, restaurants and size. Group amenities (the perks you’ll earn for hosting your wedding there) also play a big factor when choosing a resort, and is something your travel agent should go over with you. Your travel agent knows which resorts are easy to work with and provide the best experiences. Trust her recommendations.

3. Select a Memorable Wedding Date

Choosing the right wedding date is important for a destination wedding. Consider the weather, peak season, and holidays, as these can impact prices and availability. You may also want to choose a date that has special meaning to you, such as the anniversary of your first date or the day you got engaged. Trendy dates, like 4/24/24 or 5/5/25 book up quickly, so think ahead and move quickly if you want to secure something unique like this. Most importantly, try to be flexible with your date. Saturdays tend to book up first, but destination weddings happen every day of the week. Why not consider a Monday or Thursday to avoid the crowds and demand?

We know, the thought of planning a destination wedding can definitely be a daunting task, but by breaking the initial planning down into these 3 steps and working with the right travel agent (we can’t stress this enough!) you can have a stress-free and unforgettable event. Just see what we can do!
