Destination Wedding FAQ
When should we start planning a destination wedding?
Ideally, you should begin planning 12–18 months in advance, especially if your destination is popular or requires international travel. This allows time to coordinate travel, accommodation, and legal documents.
What should we consider when choosing a destination wedding location?
Think about:
– Accessibility for guests
– Weather and seasons (e.g. wet vs dry season)
– Legal requirements for getting married in that country or state
– Accommodation and amenities nearby
– Travel costs and logistics for you and your guests
– Vendors – are you bringing suppliers or hiring locally?
How much does a destination wedding cost?
Budgets vary greatly. Some couples save money by combining the wedding and honeymoon, while others spend more on travel and guest experiences. As a guide:
– Australian destination weddings: from $10,000–$30,000+
– Overseas weddings: from $15,000–$50,000+ depending on guest numbers, location, and luxury level.
