Destination Wedding is always a great idea for so many reasons. After interviewing some of our clients, we found the following to be the top reasons couples choose a destination wedding over a traditional one.
Cost Effective
Destination weddings are less expensive than traditional weddings. Traveling across the world to get married may sound a little expensive, but when all the factors are considered, it is much more practical than scheduling minute details at the traditional wedding. Couples also get discounts from the resorts when they book a certain number of rooms and arrange their honeymoon at the same venue. There will be fewer people invited to destination wedding, which helps in saving large expenses which otherwise would have to be incurred on excessive amount of food, larger venue and the amount of alcohol consumed.
Hassle Free Experience
It's always a great idea to book your resort through a destination wedding planner, because then you have a whole team of people working to make even a minute detail just perfect. The couple can focus on things that are important to them and let the wedding planner handle the rest. The planner also organize activities for your guests such as shopping, sightseeing, entertainment, etc. Hence, having a destination wedding eliminates a great deal of stress, as the wedding is far away, so only limited number of people can attend and rest all the work is handled by the wedding planner, making the experience more comfortable and pleasant.
Uniqueness
Couples always want to stand out from their friends and family and they don't want to have an experience of wedding at a local venue. They want to do something unique to brag about. The wedding guests might have attended a dozen of same weddings, this different and away from home experience will please them a lot. You basically give your guests a gift of vacation, while celebrating your marriage. It will surely beat the box of laddoo as a wedding favor to your guests. Right?
Re-union Opportunity
If we talk about traditional wedding, you are always on a run, to get things done and to greet all the people. In case of destination wedding, you are usually required to arrive a few days early to do all the paperwork, so by the time your wedding day arrives, you have at least 2-3 days to spend it with your friends and family. So tell us, how often you get to spend no rush quality time with your loved ones? This is your chance, grab it !

Finding a right venue is quite a task, as there are so many options available to choose from and it is one of the biggest decisions for both families. Here’s a guide on what you should consider to find a venue which is under your budget, match your vision, isn’t already booked and convenient to your guests.
Number of Guests : It is very essential to know the guest count before looking for the venue. If you choose a venue which is small for your guests, then you will be in a tough situation and in case the venue is too large, then not just the atmosphere will be dull, but you will incur a heavy expense too. So finalizing a venue which is of right size for your guests is a must.
Budget : While making the list of potential venues, don’t add the venues which is out of your budget, as this will just result in wastage of time and keep in mind that the cost is not just of booking of the venue, add the per plate and decor charges to it as well. Allocate your budget on the basis of the priority of things.
Location : Think about the accessibility of your venue to the guests before finalizing it. If the venue is far away from the place of your guests, then proper accommodation must also be arranged. If most of your guests are travelling by air, try to keep the venue nearby airport, which is easily accessible by road.
What is included : Be very clear on what all things will be provided to you by the venue and do you need to hire vendors on your own for catering, decor, sound-light and setup or the venue management will take care of all. Do a comparison on price of hiring vendors on your own and the services by the venue and then go for the best suited.
Pick a Theme : The selection of venue completely depends on the type of theme you want in your wedding. Decide in advance that where you want to do your ceremonies, indoor or outdoor, traditional or modern. By doing so you narrow down the list of your potential venues and lead to the best suited as per your theme and budget.
Availability : If your wedding date is finalized, then it might take a bit of time to figure out the venues that are available on your dates and match your vision and theme. You can call the venues to discuss about the availability and try to book in advance in this case. But if you are flexible with your dates, then you will find the venue quickly, which can be your dream venue.
Discuss with your planner : Yes ! Discuss with your planner first. They are very familiar with the venues and can suggest you the best venue keeping your budget and number of guests in mind and can bring your vision into reality by figuring out the best venue for you as per your theme
