We’ve gotten a lot of questions regarding destination weddings over the years but the single, most important question of all is: “Why can’t I plan and organize my destination wedding on my own?” Of course you can! But before making that decision, please read this post to find out some of the ways we can help you.
Planning a wedding at home is stressful enough; you’ve got loads of details to attend to while trying to juggle all your responsibilities and obligations, too.
Planning a wedding in a different country adds an entirely new dimension to the equation. This post explains what destination wedding specialists are, what we do and how we can help ease your load so you can actually enjoy planning the wedding as much as you will the Big Day.
We are Destination Wedding Specialists
We’re sometimes called destination wedding travel consultants or destination wedding group travel agents. We use our knowledge of destinations, weddings, resorts, air travel and group bookings to advise clients on the best choices for their beach wedding dreams, desires and budgets.
As Destination Wedding Specialists, we add value.
Think of us as you would accountants or real estate agents. You can file your own tax return, but those who choose to use an accountant do so because they recognize that specialized knowledge pays off. The same goes for a real estate agent. You can sell your house without an agent, but most don’t because the absence of that knowledge can result in major problems.
While our role is to match up clients with destination wedding travel products and services, it’s always your interests we represent. If anything goes wrong with your trip, we’re here for you.
Your time is precious.
You have choices today. You can research and book your destination wedding online. You might even save a couple of dollars. If you’re just booking a flight from point A to point B, a wedding package, car rental or a hotel room, go ahead and book it online. We won’t be offended.
You might find that it takes longer than you expected to find the `best price’ and if your flight is oversold or cancelled you’ll be on your own. There’s also the matter of obtaining group rates and the possibility of a hotel overbooking which may result in half of your guests being transferred to another hotel. But if you’re a gambler, the odds are pretty good you’ll be o.k.
When it comes to your well-deserved destination wedding and your hard-earned guests’ vacation time, we will passionately defend the value of our services. That shiny brochure with the beautiful bride and groom on the tropical beach doesn’t always tell the whole story.
We might know that the on-site wedding coordinator works on `island time’, that the pool is under renovation, the rooms are tired and dated or that on the particular week of your destination wedding, the place will be packed with drunken college kids. That might matter to you and your guests. That might even be worth many times the complimentary services we offer to you as destination wedding specialists at Weddings By Oceans!
Benefit from our knowledge.
Our knowledge offers other benefits. We speak Spanish and French, for instance, which helps to greatly reduce chances of misunderstandings between you and the hotel wedding coordinator.
Consider us concierges who can arrange tickets to anything… That wonderful little restaurant tucked away in a side street. The seat on the plane with that extra legroom. These are the kinds of things we learn through our travels and studies. We’re thrilled to share them with you.
We are Destination Wedding Specialists.
This is how we make our living but we don’t get rich doing this. That’s not our motivation. We love to hear couples tell us how they had the perfect beach wedding. We love to travel, see new places, meet new people, enjoy new sensations and pass this experience on to our couples so that they can choose the perfect destination for their wedding.
More than anything, we love the feedback from clients in how our knowledge, care and attention helped them create lasting memories for the couple and their guests. That’s worth a lot to them. What’s it worth to you?
