Description
A destination wedding is a normal wedding with three extra jobs attached: international travel, foreign legal paperwork and guest logistics across time zones. Miss a residency requirement or underestimate how much travel support a couple expects, and you have priced the project wrong before you started.
This intake form is designed to sit alongside your standard planning questionnaire. That one covers the wedding. This one covers everything that changes because it is happening somewhere else.
Inside you will find:
- Guidance on how and when to use the form, and the two answers that shape the whole project
- Couple information, including who joins planning communication and who approves spending
- The wedding at a glance: dates, locations, guest count, budget range and currency
- Vision and preferences, including cultural traditions, language and supplier choices
- Venue and location preferences, indoor and outdoor, and wet weather feelings
- Travel and accommodation, including visas, group bookings and guest accessibility needs
- Legal and documentation, covering licences, residency periods and home country paperwork
- Services and packages, from full planning to day of coordination and extra events
- A budget priorities table the couple ranks with you
- A fourteen point planner follow up checklist for after the meeting
It is written for wedding planners taking on destination work, whether it is your first or your fiftieth, and the language is warm enough to send straight to a client.
After one consultation using this form, you can price with confidence. You know the legal path, the travel expectations, the real budget and the priorities behind it, and the couple can see that you have thought about things they had not considered yet.
Print it, or work through it live on a call and fill it in as you go.
