Most resorts will have an on-site coordinator who will handle
a majority of the wedding details. Be sure that the consultant
has years of experience in coordinating weddings. All you need
to do is decide where you want your ideal fantasy wedding to
be and contact some major honeymoon hotels to get more information
on what their packages include. A typical package will include
the location, officiant, musicians, flowers, photographer and
a champagne and cake reception. They will also include accommodations
for the wedding night.
Be sure that the consultant has years of experience in coordinating
weddings. This is especially important if you are getting married
out of the country because she'll need to know all the requirements
(such as necessary information on marriage licenses, medical
tests, how long it will take to process all the paperwork, etc.)
Popular wedding destination sites include: Hawaii, DisneyWorld in Florida, Disneyland in California, Jamaica,
the U.S.
Virgin Islands and the Caribbean
islands. Many couples invite their closest family and
friends to a special location where everyone can celebrate the
couple's wedding and enjoy a vacation at the same time. You
will need to give your guests ample time to make travel arrangements,
therefore, send out your invitations approximately ten to twelve
weeks before the wedding.
The downside to having a destination wedding is the fact that
many of your guests will not be able to afford the time or the
money to share your special day with you. If this is the case,
have a party when you return for all your friends and relatives
who could not attend. Make sure you have all your photos developed
so you can show them just how special your day was.
