Destination Weddings

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Our journey begins with an initial consultation where we get to know you and your vision for your destination wedding. During this meeting, we discuss:

• Your Dream Location: Understanding your preferred destinations and any specific venues you have in mind.

• Style and Theme: Exploring your aesthetic preferences, including colour palettes, themes, and overall vibe.

• Budget Considerations: Establishing a preliminary budget that encompasses all aspects of the wedding.

Step 2: Destination Selection

Once we understand your preferences, we will help you choose the best destination. Factors we consider include:

• Accessibility for Guests: Evaluating how easy it is for your guests to travel to the location.

• Weather Conditions: To avoid surprises, research the climate during your chosen wedding date.

• Local Attractions: Suggesting destinations that offer activities and sightseeing opportunities for your guests.

Step 3: Venue Scouting and Booking

With the destination selected, we move on to venue scouting. Our process includes:

• Researching Potential Venues: We provide a curated list of venues that align with your vision and budget.

• Site Visits (if possible): We recommend visiting shortlisted venues to experience them firsthand if time allows.

• Negotiating Contracts: Once you’ve chosen a venue, we handle contract negotiations to secure your best terms.
