I get a lot of couples knowing that they want to have a destination wedding, but have no clue where to start looking!!! It does get overwhelming once you start surfing the net and realize there are tons and tons of destinations to chose from!! This is what I suggest you do:1. Limit your choices to three or even two destinations!! So before you even start looking at hotels, your objective is to find the destination that fits your needs!! Ask yourself questions like - Do I want to make my guests take long flights or not!
2. Once you do decide on a location, then you have to make sure that getting a marriage license in that destination is hassle free... Some destination require you to be there a week prior to the wedding day...so make sure you read all requirements prior to deciding on your location!
3. Now that you have a location in mind, you could start shopping for resorts... you decide do you want an all inclusive one, or would you want a more exlusive one. Some hotels might not be all inclusive, but could cater to groups and give you a group rate and meal plans...so make sure you keep all your options open!
Once you decide on the hotel, then you could get into the details of the actual wedding day. Most hotels have in house wedding planners that could help you, however if you are limited with time, then it is highly recommended you hire a wedding planner from your home town... there will be many hours of planning going back and forth to put the details of the day together! Not to mention everything else that needs to be done, prior to flying to your dream destination :)One of my favourite places is Ocean Club (One & Only) in Paradise Island, Bahamas!! It's absolutely beautiful and a perfect location for your dream wedding!!! :)
