Endlessly searching websites, blogs, forums and travel sites to decide which resort is the best for your destination wedding? Or maybe you're old school and like flipping through travel brochures and magazines?  There are so many options and soon you start to wonder, "How do I choose?!".

I've heard this question countless times!  Wedding couples are always asking how to narrow down the right resort.   "Will my friends like it?"  "Will there be enough to do?"  "Will it be too quite.. or too much of a party crowd?"  "Can they offer the style of wedding I want?"  "Do they even do weddings!?"

There are lots of factors to consider when narrowing down the right resort.  Of course you want a resort that your guests will love; it's their vacation too therefore it's got to be within budget.  But don't forget the main reason you're all there.. YOUR WEDDING! Does the resort have a wedding date, time and location available during the week you're there? 

Your wedding festivities will create a few more questions that must be taken into consideration!  Does the resort have a reputable wedding department? Can they offer the style and type of events you envision for your wedding celebration?  Does the resort offer packages or add on services you may want for your big day?

These are questions we answer daily! We can easily narrow down the best resort options for you and your wedding group.  We are a huge asset when planning your destination wedding having years of experience working with resorts, airlines, wedding vendors and wedding departments,
​and if that's not enough, all of our wedding planners have been married at destination, so we have first hand tips and suggestions as former destination couples ourselves! 

These days everyone is online -- my grandma uses an iPhone and my 2 year old nephew uses an iPad like no one's business!  So, here are some 21 century tips on planning your destination wedding.

Wedding Website:
​Our services include a wedding website that contains all the need to know info for your guests!
​All of the must have details like celebration dates, location and of course, cost.  
​Plus some cool extras like a guest book so friends and family can write you a message.  A photo gallery of the happy couple and beautiful tropical pics of the destination and resort!
We also include an advanced RSVP system that allows guests to accept or decline your invite which will then send them the instructions on how to complete their reservation.
​Seamless, stress-free and simple! All at your fingertips! 
​These days it's essential to have a wedding website.

Pinterest:
​If you aren't following us on Pinterest, you should be! It's a necessary tool for finding wedding inspiration! Our boards and pins are specifically geared for the resorts and venues we work with so they're filled with what has been done, what can be done and some pretty awesome ideas that you will want to consider!
​One of the challenging things of having a destination wedding is that you may not be aware of what your options are and some of the resources are limited. But, that's where we come in! We've been to these places! We've planned countless events here! We've had our own weddings on these same beaches and resorts! Not to mention the strong relationship we've built with our vendors and resorts. Wedding Butlers can make your Pinterest wedding a reality!

E-vites & Newsletters:
​People are attached to their phones, emails, social networks... so put the information where the people are!  While sending out paper invitations may be the formal and traditional way, it's not necessarily as practical when it comes to planning a destination wedding.
​In most cases the quote you receive for your destination wedding is only valid for a certain length of time.  In that time frame you and your guests will need to put down a deposit to confirm their reservation.  Having a time constraint can make things tricky when waiting on Mr Postman.  You will want to give everyone the info as soon as you can to allow them ample time to make their reservation.  Plus the way we create your beautifully designed e-vite guests can click to get to your wedding website instantly!
​Our mailing system is pretty sophisticated. It allows us to see who has opened or not opened your e-vite! We use this same tool to send out some helpful reminders to your group like "your balance is due" or "packing tips for your big trip!" even "check out these local tours".  Don't worry, we'll only send a few and at your permission -- we promise not to bug your guests!

Wedding Butlers' services are a major asset when planning your day in paradise!  Looking to tie the knot somewhere tropical? We would love to help!
