Think African savannah backdrops (hello, cheeky meerkats) or memorable moments beneath the gorgeous gum trees at Roo Heaven followed by delicious reception dining at Warrior Restaurant & Bar The Crocodile Hunter Lodge.

During their travels through South-East Asia, Catherine and Charlie discovered the breathtaking Club Paradise Palawan. The moment they stepped onto this island paradise, they knew it was the perfect spot for their dreamy destination wedding the following year 💍

GDW: What did you love most about having a destination wedding?
C&C: We were so relaxed. On the morning of our wedding, we snorkelled, indulged with a relaxing massage on the beach and after getting ready, simply walked down to the beach at sunset, and got married.

GDW: What’s the one thing you’d tell other brides-to-be considering a destination wedding?
C&C: Do it! Visit the place beforehand so you know you can trust that it will be done well, and just relax and have fun with it and trust that it will be beautiful.

GDW: What was the biggest challenge you faced organising a wedding from afar, and how did you resolve it?
C&C: Organising a wedding from afar was quite easy. Our Club Paradise co-ordinators set up a WhatsApp group between us so we could easily manage the back and forth. One of the hardest parts of the organisation was helping to arrange everyone’s flights, and accommodation.
