  • How to pick your destination wedding location

Once your family members along with your future in-laws family members have set their mind for the
destination wedding, then it’s time to pick up a location which meets all your wedding requirements.
It should be aesthetically proposing, not only to you and your partner, but both of your family members
should love it. Choose a place according to the significance of your memories. It can be anything- the
place where you and your partner first met, or maybe a place where you both might have taken a trip
together or anything that could relate to the magnitude of your togetherness.
Once this is clear, you will have to start planning at-least 6 months beforehand, especially on travel
requirements and restrictions. For example, your guest requires passport or visa, or are there any travel
warnings or health concerns for any of your oldest guests. Also, what things have to be carried along
with you to fulfill the traditional and ceremonial requirements.

  • Get a Checklist of your functions ready before you visit a venue
    Without any doubt your loved ones and relatives will be excited to celebrate you. Every wedding
    ceremony has its customs, rituals, traditions to be followed. These functions create a bond between the
    bride and grooms family. Therefore, it becomes necessary to plan out these activities in advance and
    before taking a trip at the venue so that everything can be arranged right from the wedding theme,
    colors, decor, mehendi function, haldi function, hire caterers, priest, photographers, musicians, florists,
    makeup artists and wedding planners. This checklist can also help you to understand what has to be
    carried with you and what can be arranged by your vendor or the vendor at the wedding destination.
  • Choose a place with right connectivity
    It is always wise to consider that your destination wedding has good commuting connectivity. Many
    of us forget the travel time and distance that it would take to travel to the venue, which can be
    exhausting. But you should remember that your guests are spending their significant amount of time
    travelling for your special day.
    You must also think the ease of getting to your wedding venue. Maybe, you can hire a car for your
    guests once they step off from airways, roadways, or railways.
    There are several loose ends while carrying out wedding ceremonies; it cannot be carried out
    perfectly. Therefore, good connectivity can also solve the problem of urgent requirements
  • Choose a place with multiple venues
    Along with wedding ceremony and reception, there are bunch of other activities and functions
    such as rituals, traditions, sangeet party or cocktail party that follows. Therefore, choosing a
    place which has multiple venues for your destination wedding will make planning these events
    easier. Multiple venue locations can include- swimming pool, party lawns, indoor gaming, a huge
    area where rituals or functions can be carried out, dining area, bar and cocktail area, and other
    such things which suits your requirements.
  • Choose a location that gives flexibility to choose your own vendors
    When it comes to practically executing your dream destination wedding, the list of vendors can
    be really long. And to avoid any surprises, make sure you start planning and speaking with your
    known vendors, to see if they can provide you with the necessary arrangements at the
    destination that has been finalized. Also, the destination that you choose for your wedding
    should have options of vendors available in that vicinity. If you are certain that for all the
    functions you want to bring in your own vendors, you can negotiate with the venue to see if
    they will waive off some amount from the package.

While Destination Weddings may seem complicated, these tips can help you solve most of your
hesitation and confusion regarding your Big D-day. You will feel overwhelmed and have
