In choosing a Destination Wedding Location, you will want to consider the following issues:

The Ease of Getting Married

If you are traveling to another country, there will be even more things to consider. You and your darling (and your wedding party) will probably all need passports. How easy will it be to have your wedding recognized in your home country? Some countries are simply more difficult in this area, and it is wise to know this in advance.

I should tell you that to counteract this potential issue, many couples will have a legal private wedding at home, and then have their photogenic wedding at their destination wedding.

Choose A Location With Fun Things to Do

Your wedding will be the highlight of your trip. But you should also seriously consider how much fun your destination wedding location will be for your honeymoon. Unless you are planning to fly off to “another paradise” after the wedding is over, you’ll want to select a spot where there are lots of fun things to do and see. Any guests you have will be more than likely to show up if you choose a locale that they would also like to visit.

Choose A Location Which Is Safe

There are many beautiful places in the world that are not very safe. If you look only a photographs of beautiful beaches, you may miss the fact that the surrounding island is in a world of poverty and the crime rate is high. Take a close look at online information on websites that give tourist warnings.

If you are planning a trip to any third world country it is essential that you check the area for personal security warnings. Locations like Mexico, Caribbean islands like Jamaica, islands in the Pacific Rim might all have security warnings. Even if you are not an American is is wise to check out the U.S. Department of State Travel Alert. They issue travel warning, travel alerts and give specific information for every country in the world.

How Difficult Will An Emergency Be?

Of course, you hope that there will be no emergencies in your trip. But if there is, how will you be able to cope with it? For example, if you are injured in an auto accident or on an activity, how comfortable are you with the idea of getting medical help in this country? If you needed a medical evacuation, how easy would this be to do in the country you are considering?

If you are robbed, how expensive or difficult will it be to get your valuables reimbursed? If you have to cancel your flight at the last minute (before you even leave), can you purchase travel insurance that will pay for the cost of that cancellation? Of course, there are trip insurance policies, but they do not work the same in different areas of the world. No matter where you decide to have your destination wedding, you definitely want to make sure that you are insured against some unforeseen emergency.

How Expensive Will Your Wedding Be?

There are many things to consider when you count the cost of your destination wedding. How much will airfare and accommodations set you back. Make sure that you also know the cost of a rental car and the price of the kind of activities you want to enjoy on your honeymoon. Are their any package deals going to your proposed location. Often you can get better prices if you book your air, accommodations and rental vehicle altogether (in a “tour package”).

And of course, what will it cost you to contract with an experienced destination wedding planner? Even if it will be just the two of you at your ceremony, you will still want to consider what options and prices you have available in their different destination wedding packages.

If it is just the two of you who are traveling to your destination wedding location, your Certain countries are well-known for offering great bargains. Mexico is a classic example of that. But if you are traveling to a high volume area (such as Cancun) you might find that the demand for the area causes your wedding price to escalate beyond what you might normally pay in another city in a third world country.
