Creative Problem Solvers WEDDING PLANNERS by Jonathan Hermann D on’t fret, the perfect destination wedding is well within your reach, but before you put down a deposit, think about consulting the experts: a wedding planner and a travel agent. Just like you and your fiancé were made for each other, these two make the perfect union to make your union perfect! PURPOSE Wedding planners help you organize and plan all of your wedding events by referring trusted vendors. They also help with décor, menu, ceremony venue, and many other wedding details. Another thing they’ll do for you? Keep stress at bay. Since they’ll be keeping all the moving parts and details under control, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy yourself. After all, isn’t that the point of having a destination wedding? STRENGTHS They know exactly what questions to ask to make sure your expectations are met and you aren’t taken by surprise. They’re also pros at keeping every day-of detail organized and working with you to make your day as personable and memorable as possible. If you decide that you want to work your mother’s veil into the big day somehow or you want candles on every guest table, they are there to make your vision become a reality. WHAT ELSE? Gideon Photography You can hire your own, or if the resort you are booking offers destination wedding packages, more than likely they will also have an on-site wedding planner. These specialists will not only talk with you months in advance of your wedding, but also they will meet with you upon your arrival to finalize any minor details and arrange the necessary legal documents. Your wedding planner will take the time to verify your plans, show you the venues and be there each step of the way.
