Why a destination wedding?
Your wedding is one of the few times in your life that all of your family and friends will be together in one place, so why limit it to only a day?
A destination wedding is a great chance for you to spend time with all of your favorite people, especially if you haven't seen them in a while. Spend the days before your wedding exploring the destination with your guests and enjoy the time together to reconnect. The fun doesn't have to end on the wedding day either. Combine your destination wedding with your honeymoon for the ultimate experience with your loved one.
Getting to know another culture
One added perk of having a destination wedding is getting to know the local culture. Make your celebrations unique by incorporating a traditional local ritual into your wedding festivities. Not only will it be meaningful to you, but your guests will also enjoy participating in a fun new celebration.

budget should not deter, we can help with options
Your wedding is an event you want to share with all of your close friends and family, and a destination wedding is no exception. Budgets shouldn't have to hold anyone back from attending. That is why I provide you and your guests with multiple options for hotels, resorts, etc., that will accommodate all budgets!
flowers
Flowers can be one of the most expensive aspects of your wedding, especially if they are out of season and need to be flown in. Rather than paying to have your flowers shipped hundreds of miles, why not go straight to the source. Having a destination wedding means you have access to local flowers that may be specific to your destination. Just imagine having a beautiful bouquet filled with exotic flowers!
honeymoon
After months of wedding planning and wedding events, a honeymoon is just what you need to relax and enjoy married life. But a honeymoon is just one more thing to plan. When you have a destination wedding, you get the luxury of planning the ceremony, reception, and honeymoon all at once. If you have guests coming, you can choose to stay at the same resort or a different one if you want more privacy.
say "I do" in paradise
More and more couples are opting to have a destination wedding because they want to avoid the stress of planning or the expense of a traditional wedding.
Don't let worries get in the way of enjoying your special day!
