Planning an international wedding can be challenging. It requires time off work, money for travel and accommodations costs, as well as often not being possible or realistic for all guests invited.
So it is vital to become a destination wedding expert, providing guidance on regional norms and local vendors. In doing so, you act as their eyes on the ground to assist them through the planning of their big day.

Destination weddings can be an incredible way to commemorate your love. But planning such an event requires considerable planning and execution; as with any big event, unexpected issues often arise. From rainstorms on your big day or unexpected travel delays, these couples share their real-life stories of how they managed the ups and downs of destination weddings successfully.
At the core of any successful destination wedding lies keeping guest lists to a minimum. Not everyone you love can afford the time, cost and effort involved with traveling halfway across the world for your ceremony; so inviting only those closest to them ensures everyone feels supported by attending their celebration.
Visitors to a destination location can save money by extending their stay for several days at a destination location, giving them time to fully immerse themselves in its culture while creating lasting memories with loved ones. Plus, this allows guests to avoid gifts which can put an unnecessary strain on couples as well as wallets – if you do wish to give something, why not donate money towards their honeymoon fund instead?

Brenchley recommends couples planning a Bali destination wedding visit the island before their big day – even for just a short stay – in order to gain an idea of its weather conditions and vendor options. By doing this, couples will know exactly what to expect when it comes to weather and venue choices for their ceremony.
To legally marry in Bali, it’s necessary to bring several documents with you, including passports and birth certificates as well as eight four-by-six centimeter photos taken side by side. Furthermore, you’ll need to visit your home country’s embassy to register the wedding and obtain a letter of non-impediment; Brenchley advises doing this early so as to reduce stress upon arriving.
