Destination weddings & elopements - let’s talk about ‘em!
We’ve been part of dozens and dozens of wedding days, have helped people tie the knot in Hawaii, Ireland, Mexico, and New Zealand, and even Patagonia.
As I professional wedding planner, AND luxury travel advisor – helping humans tie the knot make my world go round. But before you jump in, there are many details to consider.
Let’s dive in with some pro tips.✈️⬇️
Timing is everything.📆
Be sure to consider the weather at the time of your ideal wedding dates! You don’t want the beach to be overran with seaweed, or have to cancel because you didn’t realize it was hurricane season in Mexico.
Keep in mind that peak season, or summer in Italy, for example, is going to be the most expensive time to visit. Consider shoulder season to keep costs reasonable for you and your guests.
Villa or Resort? 🏘️
If you’re keeping the guest list to immediate family, or you prefer to keep everyone under one roof - consider a villa! From hired chef services, to a private concierge and cleaning team, a villa may be the perfect fit for you and your guests. It’s even possible to curate special cocktail hours and events right on property with your wedding and design team. If you prefer an all-inclusive approach, or have a larger guest list with people who prefer to have an endless list of activities to do, a resort may the best bet. Often times, this decision comes down to which location(s) you are considering, and we’d be happy to talk you through this and make recommendations.
When to Send Save the Dates💌
From booking flights, requesting PTO, and saving up, your guests need to know well in advance what your wedding and travel dates will be. As your dedicated travel advisor, we’ll keep you informed when save the dates need to be sent out, what information should be included, and we can even create a custom questionnaire to gives guests an idea of room costs, and get their room request to help in your preliminary research.
