Destination Wedding Planning Tips

Book Early for Better Rates

Start planning 12-18 months in advance to secure better rates on venues, vendors, and guest accommodations.

Consider Off-Peak Seasons

Getting married during shoulder season can save 20-40% on venue and vendor costs while still enjoying great weather.

Hire a Local Wedding Planner

A local planner knows the best vendors, can negotiate better rates, and handles logistics you can't manage remotely.

Visit Your Venue in Person

If possible, visit your destination and venue before booking to ensure it matches your vision and expectations.

Understand Legal Requirements

Research marriage license requirements, residency rules, and documentation needed for your destination country.

Create a Guest Information Packet

Provide guests with travel tips, accommodation options, local attractions, and a detailed itinerary well in advance.
