Now, let’s dive into some essential do’s and don’ts to ensure your destination wedding or honeymoon is absolutely perfect. Get ready for some serious wedding wanderlust!

DO: Let Your Imagination Soar – Research the Destination… The Bahamas? Aruba? Jamaica? Riviera Maya? Apuglia? Lake Como? Tuscany? Venice? The choices are endless! Before you embark on planning your destination wedding, it’s time to choose your dream location. Do you picture yourself exchanging vows on a picturesque Caribbean beach or on a historic Tuscan castle? Ah, pure bliss! But here’s the fun part: You need to narrow it down to the best island, city and venue to match your goals, budget, and overall wedding vibe. Need a destination that’s easily accessible for your guests? Bahamas it is! Craving an island filled with secluded coves and islets perfect for getting lost in? Say hello to Antigua! Adventure-seeking couples will find rainforest trails and breathtaking volcanic peaks in Saint Lucia, while foodies and nightlife enthusiasts will have a blast in Jamaica. Looking for history, culture, beauty, quality shopping and great wine, and cuisine? Italy is the best bet. Looking for a fun eclettic vibe? Riviera Maya is amazing! Whatever you’re looking for, we’ve got the perfect destination recommendation to match your personality and desires.

DO: Embrace the All-Inclusive Awesomeness. Now that we’ve found your dream location, let’s talk venues. We’ve got an epic suggestion for you: an all-inclusive resort is an easy and  the most value  option. Why? Well, these gems not only come with expert wedding day coordinators but they also offer stunning natural backdrops and all the essential infrastructure to make your destination wedding dreams come true. Think luxury accommodation for you and your guests, lip-smacking catered meals, and unlimited premium spirits (open bar, anyone?). Oh, and did we mention the wedding venue itself? Yep, it’s all covered! If you are considering a timeless wedding in Italy where you want to encourage your guests to explore the premises we got you covered. In fact we can organize all different activities for you and your guests from a wine-tasting tour on board of the cutest Fiat 500 ( did you see the new Mission Impossible?) to a fun dinner on board of a Pirate ship on the Venitian Lagoon. The sky is not the limit since we can have you and your guests have private helicopter transfers.

DON’T: Settle for Boring or Average- Customize Your Dream Day. Who wants a cookie-cutter wedding? Not you! Even if you opt for an “easy” all-inclusive package, it’s time to unleash your inner creativity and personalize your special day. Look for a resort that allows you to add your unique touch. And guess what? We collaborate with amazing partners that truly want to help you host the most amazing getaway. Let us help you create themes inspired by your unique love story and the latest wedding trends or let your imagination run wild and build a very original wedding mood from scratch. From bouquets to place settings, centerpieces to napkin rings, every detail can be hand-selected to reflect your vision. Get ready to say goodbye to vanilla and hello to extraordinary! How about cutting into a three-tiered cake adorned with fresh Dendrobium orchids? Or walking down the aisle to the sweet sounds of a live cellist or a vibrant steel drum duet? or host a reception in full Venitian costume complete with handmade masks? Your options are endless, and the end result will be a wedding that’s uniquely you.

DO: Let’s Go on a Preview Adventure – Plan a Site Visit. Let me tell you a little secret – photos can be deceiving! Even budget hotels can look like luxurious retreats in those perfectly edited pictures. So, if you want to ensure that your destination wedding is everything you’ve been dreaming of, it’s time for a site visit.

Imagine strolling along the stunning beach, chatting one-on-one with the vendors that will help bring your vision to life, and getting a taste of the delectable dining options. And the best part? You get to see the venues come to life right before your eyes!

So, pack your bags, hop on a plane, and embark on this exciting adventure. And while you’re  on location It’s the perfect opportunity to treat yourself and soak up some extra romance.

Don’t: wait to see it you can joggle your busy day-to-day lifestyle with the planning of your destination wedding before talking with a professional romance specialist. This is a very common rookie mistake. Some brides think to start the process and think to call for assistance in a second moment. Unfortunately if you already signed a contract with a resort the romance specialist will not be able to advocate for you to get you all the whistles and bells you deserve. So be smart and have a  priceless chat with a pro as soon as you get engaged. ( HERE is the link to book a free session with me. Grab your glass of wine and let’s talk )

With the guidance of a professional and the enchanting offerings of state-of-the-art resorts, your dream destination wedding is just a few steps away. So, let’s make those wedding dreams a reality. It’s time to plan your extraordinary love story in the most breathtaking setting imaginable. Get ready for a wedding that will leave you and your guests speechless – in the best way possible!
