Description
A destination wedding is a different job to a local one, not just a bigger version of it. Legal paperwork, currency, time zones and vendors you may never meet in person all add risk that a standard wedding checklist does not cover. This planner walks the logistics in the order that actually matters, starting with the legal requirements that set every other deadline.
Built from real destination wedding planning experience, this is the planner for anyone coordinating a wedding across a border, whether that is one couple planning their own day or a planning business taking on destination clients for the first time.
What is inside
- What genuinely makes destination logistics different from local weddings
- A six-step logistics sequence from legal requirements through to wedding week
- A vendor and travel contact register table for every local contact and their details
- A 16-point legal and documentation checklist covering residency, translation and notarisation
- Guidance on helping guests plan and afford their travel
- A wedding week itinerary table from arrival to departure
- Insider tips on legal ceremonies, currency risk and on-the-ground contacts
- A destination wedding notes page for your own country, contacts and deadlines
Who it is for
Wedding and event planners taking on destination bookings, and couples planning their own wedding abroad who want a single reference for every moving part. Especially useful for weddings involving multiple nationalities, complex legal requirements, or a wedding party travelling from more than one country.
What changes
Instead of discovering a legal or logistics problem weeks before travel, you work through requirements in the order they need to be solved, with a local contact identified early and guests briefed with real numbers well ahead of time. The result is a destination wedding that runs the way a local one would, minus the surprises that come from planning across a border.
