How Do You Plan a Destination Wedding

Whether you are planning a destination wedding thousands of miles away or just a few towns over from your own, it is undoubtedly one of the most exciting events of anyone’s life. However, many couples may not even know how to begin to plan a destination wedding. There is so much to consider, and it is easy to become overwhelmed without the right guidance. So, how exactly do you plan a wedding that you’ve always imagined having? East Wind Long Island is here to help you take a look at everything you need to do in order to make your big day perfect.

Choosing a Location

When you choose a location, you also need to consider your guests’ needs.

Is it possible for all of your family and friends to travel to that particular destination? Keep in mind that not everyone may be able to embark on multiple flights.

Are children invited? Ask if the venue is kid-friendly and if the rooms are large enough for families. You need to plan and make sure that everyone can be accommodated in terms of proximity, childcare, and much more. Consider things such as parking, as well as what the town has to offer in case your guests will be staying for a few days.

Make sure the location is accessible and, most importantly, comfortable for everyone.

Taking Lodging For Your Guests into Consideration

You are certainly not required to cover the cost of accommodations for your guests, but you still must consider everyone’s budget. Do the proper research to make sure that it will be affordable for everyone. Not every guest has to stay at the actual venue where the wedding is being held, so it will definitely help if there are at least a few affordable hotels nearby. You’ll also want to ask about setting up room blocks, which can cost less. Also, make sure that there will be enough availability for all of your guests.

Scope Out Your Location Ahead of Time

The last thing that you want to do is to arrive at the location for your wedding and find out that it is different from what you expected. Make the time to visit the location ahead of time, and stay for a day or two if possible. You want to know exactly what you and your guests will be experiencing, so it is essential to scope it out a few months before booking.

Making Sure Your Venue Can Accommodate Your Wedding

Just about everyone has an idea in mind of what they’d like their wedding to be like. You need to make sure that the venue can accommodate everything you want so that you don’t have to cross anything off of your list. You may be planning a small gathering of 25 people, or you plan to invite 500 of your closest friends. Either way, you want to make sure that your wedding is unforgettable, so give yourself ample time to plan accordingly.

At East Wind Long Island, you can choose the Northampton Ballroom, a space that has skylights and an oversized dance floor. Maybe you are planning a more intimate gathering, in which case you might prefer the Westhampton, a space that accommodates 75 – 120 guests. The Luxury Resort is the perfect venue for any size event.
