90 | TELL VENDORS YOU SAW THEIR AD IN TODAY’S BRIDE Destination Weddings Planning a destination wedding? It’s important to arm yourself with a team who is experienced in planning from afar. That means a destination wedding planner and a travel agent! They both play a big role in making sure your wedding goes off without a hitch, and neither should be expected to handle it on their own. While a travel agent does a lot of the planning, a wedding planner will handle the execution! Here are some reasons why you should hire both vendors for your destination wedding: You’ll need a travel agent to help find the perfect destination for your wedding to happen! Oceanfront, cliffside, or cruise ship, they’ll recommend and book different venues. Once you’ve chosen where to say your “I Dos,” your wedding planner will organize the logistics of making it happen! A travel agent will ensure that all of your guests’ travel arrangements are booked on budget. From the flights and hotels to transportation to and from the wedding, you’ll feel safe knowing your guests are taken care of. A wedding planner will handle guest accommodations, making sure their rooms are satisfactory, the activities are scheduled, and handle any crises that may arise. When it comes to questions about customs, religious ceremonies, and legality, your wedding planner and travel agent will work together to make sure you’re prepared! From researching marriage licenses and visas to speaking with Officiants and Customs Officers, your vendors will take care of all the tiny details so you don’t have to worry about a thing!
