All inclusive destination wedding packages usually include all wedding expenses, such as your room, food and drinks, photography, and reception. Experienced wedding planners work with resorts to organize travel for you and your guests, as well as ceremony details. Here is why you should use wedding and travel services to plan all inclusive destination weddings:
Venue Selection
A wedding and travel service helps find venues that match your budget and needs. They help you understand a venue’s available packages, often including basic, upgraded, and luxury options. A basic package usually accommodate a small wedding party and reception basics, like a cake. Upgraded packages usually allow couples to book a larger number of guest rooms at a discounted rate. Luxury packages can include added spa treatments and photography. Planners who have established relationships with a destination wedding resort may be able to negotiate custom packages that align with your dream wedding.
Guest Accommodation
Wedding planners work with travel agents to manage guest reservations and find group rates. They can answer guest questions about the location, possible room upgrades, and airport transfers. Travel agents can negotiate room blocks and discounts when booking your resort based on the number of guests you plan to invite. Some agents may be available to coordinate guests’ travel plans and arrange accommodations for guests who need assistance at the airport.
Itinerary Planning
Your wedding planner can create an itinerary to inform guests of the day’s plans. Itineraries often include the wedding ceremony timeline, transfer information, flight details, and reception information. Planners help maximize time allocation in venues to keep guests comfortable and prevent the day from feeling rushed.
Planners may also recommend nearby destinations or must-see attractions to enhance guest experiences. Their ongoing support helps address issues that may arise during all inclusive destination weddings, such as flight cancellations and booking problems during guest travels.
Day-Of Details
With the assistance of resort staff, wedding planners develop seating layouts for the ceremony and reception. This includes place setting design, assigned seating, and the bride’s entrance when she walks down the aisle. A planner may also develop a contingency plan for outdoor weddings in case of rain or high winds. Planners also gather details for catering options, playlist development, and cake flavors so couples can select their preferred options.
Wedding planners can also coordinate photography and videography for destination weddings. Their photographers have work authorizations and permits for international destinations. Photography teams capture everything, from the pre-ceremony preparations to the grand exit.
Guest Activities
Agents help plan activities to entertain your guests during their stay at the resort. Guest entertainment may include local group classes, game nights, and spa days. Local group classes allow guests to explore the culture of the wedding destination. Guests can learn to cook and dance according to the local culture. Game nights promote guest interaction, helping to make the wedding reception more lively. Treating some guests, like the Mother of the Bride, Mother of the Groom, and Maid of Honor, to a spa day may help these women relax before the big day.
