The wedding planners are fantastic, fun and most trusted in the business. They will go to great lengths to make any bridal couple along with their wedding party happy with any request that they have. They will also travel on location to continue the completion of your life's most memoriable day.

Let me begin by saying congratulations on your upcoming wedding.  What a magical time this is for you and it's my goal to help you keep the magic flowing.  If you're considering a destination wedding, I hope the following information will prove helpful to you. 

The first thing you need to do is decide on a location and then you need to research the laws surrounding a non-resident marriage in that locale.  Some locations require you to be in residence for a specified number of days prior to the wedding itself and it's not unusual for Saturday and Sunday not to count when figuring that detail out. 

Some countries have better email systems than others, so if you've written to a specific resort and they haven't responded, it may very well be that they never received the initial email that you sent.  This is just one reason, you really need to pick up the phone and give them a call.  You will need an International calling package (if you don't have one already) that you can add to your local phone service in order to place a phone call out of the country.  While email is wonderful, it really is nice to connect with your resort's wedding planner over the phone to discuss the details of your upcoming wedding, especially if you've never visited this resort previously.

Airlines are now limiting the weight and number of luggage pieces you can take with you.  Added charges and size requirements are now pretty much the norm.  If you need to ship items down to your destination prior to your wedding, please check that country's laws surrounding shipments.  You don't want to ship something and have it get hung up in customs.  Further, only ship your packages with a company that allows you to track that package as it makes it's way to it's final destination.

These are just a few of the details you may not have considered thus far, but they are important considerations if you're to truly have the wedding of your dreams.  Another important component to consider is wedding or travel insurance.  With the service that I use to handle destination weddings, they have a "no questions asked" insurance policy that's included in destination wedding travel packages.  That means you can cancel your trip at anytime as long as your plane hasn't left the gate for any reason.  You're going to be spending a lot of time and money on this wedding, and having  this kind of insurance in place goes a long way to providing you with peace of mind. 

As you can see, the devil truly is in the details.  If all of these details are starting to overwhelm you, perhaps it's time to hand the responsibility over to a Professional.  We're here to help you find the perfect destination in a price range you can afford, and through the end of 2009, we offer that assistance free of charge.   

Please give us a call at (508) 277-6597 or feel free to email us at SBSNevents@aol.com.  We're very happy to discuss your wedding dreams with you and identify how we can help those dreams become a reality.  One other thing, you don't have to be in the New England area to work with us on your destination wedding.  While that's ideal, we can get the job done at a distance too.  We wish you both all the happiness in the world and look forward to getting to know you better.

Best Regards,
