Getting married abroad may take a little more pre-planning than a wedding at home but it can drastically increase the chances of good weather, provide a greater sense of fun, be able to provide a unique venue and freedom and save you lots of money.
- Make sure you get a wedding planner that you have checked out with either UKAWP or the country’s Wedding Planner Association.
- Make sure that your wedding is legal and if you have to register it here in the UK
- Make sure if you require a translator or is it performed in English.
- Make sure that the company organizing it is a legitimate company, registered and paying local taxes (you can check these out on line)
- Make sure that you can have your wedding your way, not how your planner wants it!
- Make sure that you check how many working days that you MUST be in the country before getting married.
- If you can, try to go on an inspection visit prior to booking your wedding, most large companies offer this facility.
- Check out the seasons for bad weather, hurricanes, monsoon, very dry season etc.
- Prepare yourselves a budget plan, write down your honeymoons costs, legal costs, ceremony costs, reception costs so that you understand clearly what your budgets are.
- Try to help your guests find accommodation or list ideas on the invitation so that they can book effortlessly.
