Congratulations! You'll be one of over half a million couples this year to choose a destination wedding. Sure, this choice comes with its challenges of distance, logistics and maybe even language, but the celebration is sure to be one of life's true peaks of joy. From Disney World to Denmark your options are as wide as well the world!
Whether you celebrate at a villa in Tuscany or the Sandals Resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, you'll need a point person on the ground, someone with your interests in mind to coordinate everything and make you feel at ease. Many of the resorts have full-time wedding planners to make everything flow smoothly. If you've selected a non-resort destination, many travel agents specialize in helping you make wedding plans abroad.
It may be just the two of you or perhaps you'll bring a flock of friends and family, but whatever the cast of characters, one thing's for sure: There's a lot you'll need to know! We're here to help you along the path to your dream destination celebration. Tahiti, here you come!
