What You Need to Know Before Booking a Destination Wedding

Destination weddings are on the rise, with many brides dismissing the stereotypical wedding for a day that is uniquely theirs. However, there are still some things that many couples overlook when considering a destination wedding.

We spoke with Gina Johnson, Playa Hotels & Resorts Wedding & Romance Sales Manager, and got her top four tips for booking a destination wedding.

1. Reserve your wedding date early. Not only will this give you the best availability, but you also want to give your guests as much notice as possible, allowing them to schedule time off and make travel plans.

2. Tour the property before choosing it for your special day. Take advantage of Playa’s Big Day Preview program. A Big Day Preview enables up to two guests to enjoy two nights/three days at the Playa destination of their choice on a special wedding planning visit from only $400.

The all-inclusive visit includes scheduled time with a professional wedding consultant to discuss and preview all the exclusive arrangements for the wedding celebration including a menu tasting. Seeing is believing and being able to experience the resort where you are planning the most important day of your life is the assurance every wedding couple deserves.

3. Utilize online tools. Playa’s Wedding Couples website allows you to view wedding packages and enhancements like décor, florals, and entertainment for all Playa resorts. This site consolidates all your event planning in one place making planning your wedding a breeze.

4. Work closely with your on-property Wedding Planner. They are knowledgeable and passionate about planning weddings and are there to assist you from the first call to the walk down the aisle.

So, when considering planning a destination wedding, remember these helpful tips. Also, be sure to check out Playa Hotels & Resorts’ many different properties as an option to host the destination wedding of your dreams.
