Planning Your Wedding At A Resort
Resort weddings are fast becoming a popular alternative to traditional city weddings.
Among the many advantages associated with them, many couples cite the option of escaping the mad rush of the city and tying the knot in a beautifully serene location as one of the main reasons to plan a getaway wedding.
Other benefits of destination nuptials are the ease of organizing the event in one central location and the multitude of activities on offer for the enjoyment of bride, groom, and their guests.
Just as you would research a holiday destination before buying your airline tickets, doing your homework before settling on a resort to host your wedding will ensure your big day is as memorable for your guests as it is for you and your partner.
To help ease your planning we've compiled a list of some of the key details you might want to consider before you make your decision.
Hotels Make sure the resort offers a few choices of hotels to suit the different budgets of your guests.
Many hotels offer room rate discounts to wedding parties so be sure to shop around.
Activities Find out what kinds of activities are on offer at the resort and what their costs are.
Spa Services See if there is a beauty salon or spa at the resort and if they offer any special wedding packages for brides and the bridal party, such as discounts or "in-room" services.
Photography Ask around for a few referrals for wedding photographers who service the resort.
Contact the photographer well in advance to see if they're available for your day and be sure to view their portfolio.
If at all possible, set up a meeting with your prospective photographer before signing a contract.
It's important that you feel very comfortable with the person who will be taking pictures of you on one of the biggest days of your life! Wedding Planning Services Many resorts now offer wedding planning services.
Hiring a wedding planner at a resort allows you to work with a professional who is familiar with the best local suppliers and also makes it easier for you to coordinate your wedding from afar.
Children & Pets Many resorts now offer babysitting services, daycare, and kids day camps.
These services can be a huge help to guests who are traveling with little ones.
Check in advance that hotels allow pets.
Plan An Itinerary If you have family or guests that will be staying overnight or for a few days a great idea is to plan an optional itinerary that includes different activities to keep your friends and family occupied and entertained.
