Destination Wedding Tips
Advanced planning is key to a successful destination wedding. Will you slip away quietly and return home married or will you ask family and friends to join you for the ceremony?

To ensure your guests are properly cared for you should know approximately how many people will be joining you for the event and make accommodation reservations for them in advance. Working with an agent will ensure that travel arrangements are coordinated for the entire wedding party. If the party exceeds twenty people there are often group rates that can be negotiated on your behalf.

In preparing to plan for a destination wedding the following considerations should be addressed:
• How many guests do you expect to attend?
• Will children be among the guests?
• What are the restrictions/requirements at the destination I will be marrying in?
• Do you want to stay at the same place as our guests?
• What additional charges are incurred for having a wedding on property?
• Are there restrictions for guest attendance if they are not staying at the property?
• How long will you stay?
• How long will your guests stay?

Consider sending invitees a questionnaire beforehand to determine their interests in order to construct a group itinerary.
