Are you dreaming of saying "I do" against the backdrop of stunning beaches or lush landscapes?
Planning a union in a dream location like the Philippines brings a touch of exotic charm and adventure to your celebration. Here's your guide to planning the perfect destination wedding.
Set the Date and Destination
The first step to planning your dream destination wedding is choosing the perfect location. Whether you envision a tropical beach affair, a charming countryside celebration, or a luxurious urban event, the Philippines offers a myriad of breathtaking settings.
From Boracay's white sandy beaches to Tagaytay's picturesque vistas, narrow down your options to find the destination that resonates with your vision. Once done, coordinate your preferred date + expected number of guests to the venue, then ask their package or offers.
Budget Wisely
Destination weddings can be expensive but worth it, offering all-inclusive packages for intimate or elopement settings are your options. However, it's crucial to create a detailed budget, with 5% contingency budget allowance for any unexpected expenses.
Consider travel costs for you and your guests, accommodation, venue fees. Get local vendors to lessen Out of Town Fees (OTF). Otherwise, you may book your dream team and consider their OTF. With careful decisions assisted by your Destination Wedding Planner, you can create a magical experience without breaking the bank.
