Choosing the Perfect Destination Wedding Location

Choosing the perfect destination wedding location can be very stressful.  There are multiple considerations to take when choosing the location.  Here are the top 10 considerations for choosing the right location:

1.  Are you thinking resort or destination?  You have to make sure that wherever you pick to have your wedding that it is classy enough for a wedding and that you and your guests will enjoy it and love their time there.

2. Cost.  Can you afford this location? Can the guests that you absolutely want there able to afford it?

3. Accommodations:  Can all your guests fit? Are you willing to cut the guest list if needed?  Is the reception/ceremony space big enough?


4. Season.  You want to make sure that the weather corporates as much as possible during your wedding.  So choosing a destination in the Caribbean during hurricane season might be a bit risky.  Try January, that way it would also be a warm retreat for you and your guests.

5. Deals. Does this resort offer any free amenities for having a wedding there?  Like free nights, flowers, room upgrade, etc.

6. Adventure.  Is there enough for your guests to do while they are there?  The guests will probably want to stay for 4 days to a week at this destination, so you need to make sure that there is plenty of activities.

7. Travel Time.  The older the guest, the less likely they are to be able to travel half way around the world, or any extremely long distance. 

8. Nerves.  Are you able to plan a wedding without being able to see the site before hand?  Sometimes you are planning this wedding from a different country, so you need to make sure that you hire someone, like Prestige Travel who has traveled to the venue before hand and knows how it looks and how it is run.

9. Surroundings.  Is the resort located in a beautiful stretch of beach or is it across the street?  Are there interesting sites to see or villages to visit?

10.  Assistance.  Choosing Prestige Travel to help you plan your destination wedding is key to the success of the wedding.  This is especially true if you or your groom have never visited this resort.  At Prestige Travel we have traveled and even been to weddings at most of the beautiful resorts an know what to expect.
