Why a couple would not wish to enjoy their one of the biggest days at the most beautiful place on the earth. So here we have brought for you do’s and don’ts on how to choose the right venue for your destination wedding.

One of the finest and the loveliest plan could be a wedding on a cruise! Yes, this way you can enjoy the big day surrounded by water and could visit multiple destinations. So, if you are confused between a couple of destinations, probably the idea of a wedding on a cruise will help you sort out your confusion.

Things to take care while going for a destination wedding:

If you are going for a destination wedding, there are a few things you need to take care of to make it a perfect wedding! Here, comes the crucial part of selecting the venue for a destination wedding. How will you select the venue for your destination wedding, will you sit on your computer and Google it out or will you ask your friend “Bhai zara batana kaunsi jagah achi he?” These are not the right methods to select a venue for your destination wedding.

Budget :

This has to be actually done by keeping a lot of things in mind. The first aspect to look at is the budget constraint. If you plan out your wedding, let’s say in Hawaii, you need to have a look at your budget. Does your budget allow you such a destination or do you need to select a destination in India itself? So, the first thing comes up is your budget. You may also like to consider the cost of the transportation including the cost of your guests. If you are choosing such a destination, you might be increasing your budget multiple times.

Take a concern of your partner:

Once, you are clear with the budget constraints, the first thing you need to do is take a concern of your partner. Try to know which location suits them best and what are his/her dreams for a destination wedding. With this, you will get a chance to spend a quality time discussing with your partner and will be able to satisfy their needs as well!

Select a good location:

The other thing that you would feel like considering is the location of the place. If it is a very remote place, may be an island or a beautiful place into the jungle, you might face some difficulties in traveling and arranging everything out there. If that is too remote to access, there could be some discomforts you and your guests might have to take up. So look into it that you do not take up any such remote place, where you will have to face the difficulties.

Culture Matters:

When you go to a new place, you meet different kinds of people having different culture and mentalities. The culture of every location is different and has a particular importance of every ritual they follow. If you are changing the location, why not to even change the cultural touch in your wedding. You can hire the localities of that area to decorate your venue. You can hire them to get the delicious food of that region and can even enjoy the cultural nights with them. These are the things that will add a cherry to the cake in your wedding and believe me your wedding would be the hottest topic of discussion among your friends and relatives.

When you accommodate the local culture of that place along with your culture and your rituals, it will give an aesthetic environment at your wedding. Every culture has its own importance, its own way of celebration, its own way of showing love and care. So, why not to try out something new out there but here are a few things you need to take care and consider them as Do’s and Don't. Before you finalize to give your wedding a touch of their culture, learn properly about their culture and know each and every aspect that could affect your wedding.

Two important things to take care while going for the culture of the venue’s locality:

Food:

The first thing comes up is the food, if you are planning for a local dish in your wedding and suppose all your guests prefer only vegetarian dishes and the local food made out there is non-vegetarian, you are up to ruining your wedding ceremony with this. So, have a proper research on the food items that they are going to serve and see to it that, it does not contradict your requirements.

Decoration:

The second thing that comes up is the decoration of the wedding venue. According to a few rituals, you need some specific things to be arranged at a particular place where all the rituals take place. So for this, the best option is to take the concern of your elders, who have good knowledge of all the rituals to be performed in the wedding. Take proper guidance from your elders and guide your wedding planners or the local people that you have hired. With this type of planning, you are almost out of the fear of something going wrong at your wedding.

See to it that your guests do not have any inconvenience in the destination wedding:

The other major task that you need to take up is taking care of your guests. Most of the people make a mistake here and then at the last the guests have to suffer a lot. Arrange proper travel for all your guests so that they will not have to plan out all the things by themselves. The better option you could select is inviting all your guests at a nearby easily accessible location or may be at your home and then going at the venue altogether. This will help you cater all the needs of your guests, and the fun would be multiplied.! Also, do not forget to arrange proper travel for those guests who are planning to reach the venue directly or at least what you can do is provide them proper guidance.

                With this, you will be very clear on what to do and what not to do while selecting the right wedding venue for your destination wedding. If a destination wedding is handled with proper planning, it is one of the finest enjoyments, and if you miss out somewhere in planning, you are ruining your day. The best suggestion I could give at the end is hiring the right wedding planner, who has good experience in arranging destination weddings. If you hire the right people, almost all your worries would be nullified and you can enjoy the big day to the fullest.
