7 Tips for Having a Dream Destination Wedding

	1. Choose a Destination. Work with your travel agent, if you have one. If not, a good place to check is with tourism the boards of various destinations or do some research online. Consider the ease and expense to travel to your wedding destination. Will it take a few hours, a day or longer to get there? Consider the language and currency exchange. Is there a waiting period for a marriage license? What type of environment do you prefer…tropical, quaint, historic? What type of accommodation options do you want…luxury, resort, villa, cottage? What type of local activities do you want your guest to experience…golf, spa, boating, water sports?
	2. Choose to Hire a Wedding Professional. Consider the fact that you are not familiar with the location culture and customs and that the Wedding Professional has established contacts and relationships with all of the wedding service providers and vendors to create your dream wedding. Check with professional organizations such as Weddings Beautiful Worldwide, the Association of Bridal Consultants and the Caribbean Wedding Association for a Wedding Professional in the destination of your choice.
	3. Choose Experience. Do they have experience? Do they have referrals? Have they planned other weddings?
	4. Choose Ease of Communication. Consider whether you have options to correspond with your Wedding Professional vial email, phone or fax. Are there options? Consider that you are familiar with email and Internet communication, however your mother or spouse-to-be is not, can they talk to a person on the telephone? Do they have a website? How easily can you reach them? Do they have an answering machine or voicemail? Do you have to talk to several different people to achieve your dream wedding result, i.e., sales, the wedding coordinator, etc.?
	5. Choose Your Wedding Style. Work with your Wedding Professional to create the wedding of your dreams. Whether you want a traditional wedding, a small gathering of family and friends or a romantic ceremony just for two, all of these can be realized in a secluded tropical paradise setting. Depending on the location, it is possible to have a destination wedding combining with a traditional wedding in an historic church or chapel. Or do you prefer a private estate, Private Island, chartered catamaran or simply a barefoot beachside wedding. What do you want to wear (largely determined by your location) and what type of reception after the ceremony…sit-down, beach barbeque, or just champagne and dessert?
	6. Choose your Budget. In total, how much do you want to spend? Again, your Wedding Professional can help you determine what you will spend in each category. Consider the cost of transportation, accommodation, ceremony, reception and group activities. Will you supplement any portion of your guest costs or cover the entire costs for certain family or friends such as your grandmother, for example? How much dvo you want your guests to spend? The trend shows that as couples are getting married older, the couple and their contemporaries have achieved professional success and are financially able to and willing to travel to be a part of your special occasion combined with having a memorable vacation experience for themselves.
	7. Choose to be your own guest at your Dream Destination Wedding! After you have done all of the above, relax as you prepare to enjoy your special day!
