For many couples, a traditional, local wedding just won’t do! With increasingly more couples opting for an exciting destination wedding, the possibilities are practically endless. From stunning beaches to bustling cities, planning a dream wedding getaway is easier than ever.

Start with a Vision: Before you start planning your destination vow ceremony, decide on a vision for your wedding getaway. Are you dreaming of a cozy beachfront ceremony, or perhaps a big city destination? Once you’ve decided on a destination, you can begin researching vendors and laying out the details.

The Perfect Venue: When it comes to finding the perfect venue, you have many options. From lavish hotels and resorts, to more intimate beach weddings, you can find a place that fits your wedding vision and budget. Plus, if you’re working with an experienced wedding planner, they can usually recommend a variety of venues that match your desired destination.

Invitations and Accommodations: Before mailing out invitations, make sure to plan out accommodations for your guests. You can book a block of hotel rooms near your wedding venue, or if you’d like to keep costs low, you may want to consider staying with family or friends. Similarly, be sure to plan out local transportation so your guests can get to where they need to go.

Wedding Day Activities: Most destination weddings are more than just a ceremony — they are a multi-day event. Make sure to include activities for the days leading up to the big day, such as spa treatments, golf outings, and sightseeing. This way, guests have plenty to do while we wait for the ceremony.

Make It Memorable: When it comes to destination weddings, the possibilities are practically endless. Get creative and make sure to include memorable touches that reflect you and your partner — from custom welcome bags for guests, to a local band playing unique music. The more memorable touches you can add, the better.

Planning a dream wedding getaway can be stressful, but with the right resources, you can create a beautiful ceremony that celebrates your love in a special way. With careful planning and plenty of patience, you and your partner can create a wedding to remember!
