Destination Weddings & Honeymoons 






Choosing a wedding destination is one of the most important decisions you make with regards to your wedding. Keep in mind your guest list, your budget, and you and your fiancee's own wishes, and choosing a wedding destination will be a piece of cake.
​​Step 1
Decide on a budget. If you have a big budget and can hire a wedding planner, do so, as planners are able to perform the time-consuming footwork and have relationships with vendors, making the process a lot easier. If you can't afford a wedding planner, fear not. You CAN do this yourself and do a great job.

Step 2
Decide on the time of year you would like your wedding. That will help narrow down your choices for locations.

Step 3
Decide on the number of people you would like to invite. When you know a tentative guest list number, then you can decide on the size of the venue you'll need, further narrowing down your choices.

Step 4
Decide on a few locales you are interested in. With your budget in mind, start researching venues in those locales, making phone calls and meeting with on-site wedding planners (it's usually a good idea to have 5-7 venues in mind for each place, as you will inevitably run into scheduling conflicts, limited to no availability and other things out of your control).

Don't be afraid to ask for references from venues -- when it comes down to it, these venues are selling a service, and as a buyer, you deserve to have all the information you can get your hands on. If a venue is unwilling to give you references, walk away immediately.

Step 5
Get all prices in writing, making sure the prices are for the year in which you are actually getting married. And remember to bump up all prices you are quoted by 20 per cent, as you have to include taxes and tips. You want a complete breakdown of what their services include (do they provide a florist, or do you have to get one yourself, for example). If they provide only the location and basic food and beverages, ask for a list of vendors they use to outsource for flowers, photography, wedding cakes, music and any other things you might need for your big day.

Step 6
Set the wedding date and sign any contracts guaranteeing you that date and that desired venue.
So amidst all the wedding plans you also need assistance for someone to organize that relaxing honeymoon. Well don’t just choose any Travel agent you need to choose carefully so that you get the best value for your money.

If you would prefer to have a well planned honeymoon and remove the hassle of last minute cancellations or disappointments then make sure you do go through with consulting a Travel agent.

Make sure that you know what you want such as your date, place and the price range that you are willing to spend on your trip.

Things you should consider:

Don’t feel obliged that you have to choose the first Travel Agent you meet. Take your time. A good Travel Agent will take the time to understand the reasons for your travel. They will help check what dates and price range you are willing to spend. They may ask you what kind of activities you would prefer.
Based on all this information they should recommend a few destinations
They should be able to give you a few travel brochures and information about what’s so great visiting this place along with how this tourist destination could suit your needs. They should be able to provide a broad overview of what the total trip would cost you along with any visa requirements that you may require.

Important Things to Consider to Plan the Perfect Honeymoon

How much do you have to spend?
Make sure you have enough money to spend on your chosen destination and hotel or resort. Your budget should be considered when making all decisions regarding what type of honeymoon you want, where you want to go in the world and what type of hotel or resort you want to stay in - 3, 4 or 5 star?

When do you want to go?
When you plan your honeymoon has a considerable effect on your budget. In destinations like Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean the peak season is the winter months while the summer months are the off-season. So if you are planning a summer wedding than you maybe able to save on your honeymoon package.

What kind of honeymoon experience do you want?
Do you like sunny warm weather? Do you want a beach experience? Do you want a nature experience? Do you want adventure? Do you want winter activities? Do you want world class entertainment?

Where do you want to go?
If you want a sunny beach experience over anything else than we recommend California, Florida, Hawaii, Mexico or the Caribbean. If you want world class entertainment than Las Vegas is the place to be. If you are looking for a world class winter experience than we recommend Whistler Mountain. If you are looking for a nature experience we recommend Vancouver Island.

What amenities would you like to have?
Make a list of all the amenities you are looking for in your honeymoon accommodations. Use the internet to do your research on the various hotels or resorts that are available. Each place will offer different amenities and services.
