Planning A Destination Wedding? Why You'll A Coordinator

By Ella Hemmings


If you wish to make your wedding day completely unique and unforgettable, you might be thinking about booking your nuptials at an exotic destination, such as Maui or the Caribbean. While this is certainly a fantastic setting, arranging all the details from back home can be a bit difficult. To make the process easier, it is wise to consider contacting and hiring a wedding coordinator, and here are some reasons why.

Even if you have been to your special destination a number of times, you probably are nowhere near as knowledgeable as a local. Your destination wedding planner, however, is a local and does know where to find the best wedding ceremony locations and a great place for your reception.

If your heart is set on tying the knot in Maui, for instance, call upon the staff at Love Maui Weddings. Their team of Maui wedding planners can book some amazing ceremony sites, such as historic chapels, grand resorts and secluded beaches. For decades, these Maui destination wedding planners have been making couples dreams become a reality. They can help find a great minister to officiate the ceremony, reserve a reception venue and procure the necessary paperwork for a wedding license or beach permit.

In addition to the wedding site and the reception, there are tons of little details that will need to be handled, and it's hard to do this from afar. A wedding planner, however, can contact a florist, hire a photographer, contact and hire musicians, contact a bakery for your cake, arrange to have chairs and perhaps an arch to be brought to the wedding site and anything else that you might want or need. They also will make sure that you don't forget about any important details, which can easily happen, especially if you are being married far away from home.

Often, a destination wedding planner will offer a variety of packages to suit different budgets and different sizes of weddings. A simple ceremony might include just the two of you on a secluded Maui beach, or you might want a large ceremony and reception at an oceanfront resort. Purchasing a pre-created wedding package can make the process very affordable and eliminates the stress of making decisions on tons of details, both large and small.

Another service many planners provide is helping you arrange transportation, lodging and excursions for you and also sometimes for your wedding party and guests. This might include helping book hotel rooms or planning a big excursion for the whole group or maybe finding a place for the rehearsal dinner or morning-after breakfast. If you will be honeymooning at your wedding destination, your coordinator also might be able to help you plan out some activities or at least make some excellent suggestions.
