STEP BY STEP PLANNING FOR DESTINATION WEDDING

‘OCAID’ occassion ideas welcome you & offer our complete guidance towards Destination Weddings! This Blog aims to cover everything you need to know in order to properly plan a destination wedding in an all-inclusive resort in India.

What is a Destination Wedding?

By definition, a destination wedding is a ceremony that is celebrated outside the wedding couple’s hometown and which requires their guests to travel. 

Destination Wedding gives you a chance to make an event to remember and spend more time with your family and friends.

How to plan a Destination Wedding, Where to Start?

You are now engaged and have decided on a beautiful destination wedding! But dont know the first step to start?

so, before moving to step out for searching, three things always keep in mind.

What is your budget?

What are your Destination Venues?

When is your desired Wedding Date?

Q- What is your destination wedding budget?

Ans- Yeah, no one likes this question, but we are not asking you, you ask yourself before moving out, but there is really no way around it unless it is unlimited – no, this is not right!  if you think of a destination wedding it means you have something in your mind, I hope a healthy budget.😉

Q- What is your Destination Venue?

Ans- The venues are important because not every resort offers the same facilities. 

Some have Big Banquet or some Big Lawn, some have inhouse costly vendors or some allow you to plan your, some have event options or some have a restriction to plan inhouse. So, in your search make sure these factors too.

Note – for all these headaches better to plan a wedding planner who takes care of all these things for you and gives you a better option in your budget with the proper location.

Q- When is your desired Wedding Date?

Ans-The date will affect the cost of the travel portion, the temperature possibilities, and the availability of the venue. 

The Catch is there if you plan your destination wedding on an off-season date then chances of a big discount will be in your favor from all.

How to pick a Proper Resort or Location for a Destination Wedding?

Picking the ‘best’ resort or location can be a little overwhelming. 

There are so many options available that at one point they tend to all look the same and all blend together.

Here are our top tips to help you narrow down the resort budget:

Type: Adults-only or Family oriented. Are you planning on inviting children or not? make some bargain to accommodate more in one room or for at least extra beds.

Size: Large resort with a ton of restaurant and activity or a smaller more intimate location with a more limited offer.

 Does it have elevators and/or a shuttle service across the resort. Try resort to give your guest free pickup and drop to station or airport or in resort service or you add this in some marginal in your package, it will reduce your logistic cost.

Cost: I know cost comes back a lot! However, it is important to know which resort will fit your guest’s budget.

 Setting an average or maximum price (per person/per night) will help narrow down the list.

The number of ceremonies. How many pre-wedding ceremonies per day performed at the resort? Less number of ceremony for less production & related vendors cost, simple. Small ceremonies you may plan at home or some small banquet in your local area.

The Catch: Take resorts in-house tent, decorator light, or event vendor who already planned setup. This will definitely reduce your Production Cost.

Hospitality or Logistic

Hospitality is only for your guest’s comfort, or for this nobody takes a chance, especially in a destination wedding. 

Because we plan a destination wedding to enjoy with our family and friends or if we were busy in to serve them then we were not enjoying our rituals properly.

So, hospitality service is the best option they take care of your personnel belongings, the timeline of the event, guest comfort, and all.

Logistic is the main part of Destination wedding planning. From Ticket Booking to Proper Pickup and drop of guest on time will be covered in this and leisure of destination is also in the logistic plan.

Vendors Management

To manage your destination wedding there will be approx a team of 100 people involves start from Tent, Decor, Light, Artist, DJ, etc. 

In destination Weddings, the management of vendors is also a main task. A good wedding planner takes care of all that. 

They manage a stay and food to some restaurants or hotels nearby resort. Though this will bear by you but not on the cost of the resort.

IN CONCLUSION

Nowadays destination wedding planning in India explores more.
