Destination Wedding Planning Tips

By Ella Hemmings


Often the idea of planning a huge wedding and reception is quite daunting, and rather than deal with all of the stress of a large event, many couples prefer to have a smaller, more intimate ceremony at a special destination. While a destination wedding is an excellent way to ensure that your wedding day is truly memorable, planning it all from thousands of miles away can be challenging. Here are a few ways to make planning a destination wedding easier.

To make the whole process easy, hiring a wedding planner is the way to go. You simply need to find a wedding planner that specializes in ceremonies at your destination. For instance, if you would love to be married on the romantic and popular island of Maui, you can contact the staff at Love Maui Weddings for help. Here you will find experienced Maui wedding coordinators who easily can handle every detail of your ceremony. This includes finding a minister to conduct the service, locating a wedding photographer, finding a fantastic location, ordering the flowers and much more.

If you aren't exactly sure what you want for your wedding, simply browse through the many packages offered at Love Maui Weddings and choose one that fits your style and budget. Many destination wedding planners offer packages, and this is an excellent way to make the planning process easy. If you find a package that suits most of your needs but you want to personalize the event with a few extras, simply ask about any unique add-ons that might be available.

For example, one package at Love Maui Weddings, called the "Love is in the Air" package, includes the services of a Hawaiian minister, a Hawaiian guitarist or vocalist, a special conch shell sounding, a torch bearing maiden, a drummer or hula dancer, fresh leis for the bride and groom, professional photography, a DVD and several more items. In addition, one of the extra add-ons for this package would be having the bride arrive to the ceremony aboard an outrigger canoe.

If there is one truth about traveling, it's that it certainly can be expensive and because of travel costs, destination weddings often include a smaller party than you would have at home. For the loved ones that will be attending the ceremony, make the process of securing plane tickets and lodging as easy as possible. You can help them plan out their flights and reserve rooms at a hotel for them, and some hoteliers will even discount rates if you set aside a block of guest rooms for a wedding party.

Once your guests arrive, have a welcome kit placed in their hotel rooms. This should include all the details about the time and location of the ceremony as well as a reception or wedding brunch or any other wedding party event. You can also include helpful information about the area and ideas for dining and attractions. Planning a fun trip or excursion for everyone can be a great way to say thank you to your loved ones. On Maui, a whale watching boat trip can be an excellent excursion or perhaps attending an authentic Hawaiian Luau. Sometimes wedding coordinators can be a big help with guests, so ask for their suggestions.
