Learn More About How Destination Weddings Work
As you set out to tie the knot, you may be intrigued by the idea of having a destination wedding. But what exactly is a destination wedding, and how does it work?
Destination weddings involve getting married in a dream location, somewhere far from home – such as on a tropical island, amongst a lush garden, or overlooking a serene waterfall. Just like a traditional wedding, destination weddings require a bit of budgeting, planning, and preparation. However, they cost just a fraction of the price of an at-home affair, and are typically far less stressful to coordinate (requiring very little hands-on work from couples at all).
