Cons of Destination Weddings

Legality can be an issue.

Destination weddings require more thought about how you can legally tie the knot. Rules and regulations for legal ceremonies differ by destination, with some locations requiring over 12 months' notice and a bunch of paperwork! You ca n save the stress of navigating international marriage laws if you go ahead and get legally married in your home state before or after your trip and host a beautiful symbolic ceremony in your dream destination. No one will be the wiser.

Guests may not attend.

Traveling to another state or country may be a lot to ask, and some guests may not be able to attend due to conflicts with work, family, health, or other reasons. To avoid conflicts, make sure you run your ideas by your inner circle before deciding your dates and destination! Make sure those who are most important to you can attend.

Navigating COVID-19 restrictions.

No matter how hard we try, it seems we can't completely shake Covid-19. We now know surges are possible and unpredictable. As your date gets closer, make sure you and your invitees become familiar with any rules related to COVID-19. It's also crucial to look into vaccination, testing, and quarantine requirements as your travel dates get closer. You'll also want to be clear about cancellation and rescheduling policies, just in case.

When deciding on your wedding venue, the biggest thing to remember is that this is your big day Ultimately this is about how you and your love dream of starting this new chapter in your lives. Once you've decided on that, everything else will fall into place.
