D
on’t fret, the perfect destination wedding is well within your reach, but before you put down a deposit, think about
consulting the experts: a wedding planner and a travel advisor. Just like you and your fiancé were made for each
other, these two make the perfect union to make your union perfect!
TRAVEL ADVISORS
WEDDING PLANNERS
purpose
Travel advisors are certified specialists in specific areas,
such as destination weddings or geographic regions like
the Caribbean. They use their knowledge to help you cut
through the clutter to zero in on the information that
matters most. They also help organize the entire event
— from booking flights and hotel rooms for you and all
of your friends and family to finding you the best values
and helping in the case of any travel emergencies.
Wedding planners help you organize and plan all of
your wedding events by referring trusted vendors. They
also help with décor, menu, ceremony venue and many
other wedding details. Another thing they’ll do for
you? Keep stress at bay. Since they’ll be keeping all the
moving parts and details under control, you’ll be able
to relax and enjoy yourself. After all, isn’t that the point
of having a destination wedding?
strengths
They know exactly what questions to ask to make sure
your expectations are met and you aren’t taken by
surprise. They’re also pros at keeping every wedding-
day detail organized and working with you to make
your event as personable and memorable as possible. If
you decide that you want to work your mother’s veil into
the big day somehow or you want candles on every guest
table, they are there to make your vision become a reality.
Travel advisors provide personalized service and valuable
peace of mind. And if an emergency does arise or flights
get canceled (as they sometimes do), their agency will
go above and beyond to make things right. Basically,
they’re here on standby to make you and your guests
feel totally comfortable. Agents can plan activities
for guests at the resort or arrange for any special
accommodations. No request is too big!
what else
Travel advisors are experts at organizing groups. From
coordinating travel arrangements to handling special
needs, documentation and payments, they take care
of all the details so that everyone arrives on time and
ready to celebrate! Thanks to their relationships with
travel suppliers, they have access to valuable discounts,
one-of-a-kind offers and exclusive VIP privileges (such
as hotel room upgrades, free Wi-Fi and champagne)
that you simply cannot obtain on your own.
You can hire your own, or if the resort you are booking
offers destination wedding packages, more than likely
they will also have an on-site wedding planner. These
specialists will not only talk with you months in
advance of your wedding, but also they will meet with
you upon your arrival to finalize any minor details and
arrange the necessary legal documents. Your wedding
planner will take the time to verify your plans, show
you the venues and be there each step of the way.
