A destination wedding is a dream of a lot of Filipinas. After all, who wouldn’t want a beach wedding or a wedding in a different province? There’s a sense of adventure in planning destination weddings and of course, a potential for a more romantic wedding. The pictures will speak for themselves with nature as your background.
But of course, planning a destination wedding is a challenge. But it’s a challenge worth taking as long as you know how to go about it. So here are some tips and guidelines for destination weddings to help you:
Choose a closer destination
A lot of us dream of hopping on a plane so we can have a beach wedding in Boracay or Palawan. But you have to realize the potentials of a logistical nightmare and the skyrocketing costs. You should consider closer destinations. For example, did you know that a wedding in Batangas can offer the same adventure and romance minus the logistical nightmare and costs? There are a lot of Batangas resorts that can provide you with the destination wedding of your dreams. There are also a lot of great hotels in Batangas that are experienced with weddings.
Choose suppliers wisely
This is one of the challenges with destination weddings. You can make this easier by choosing an experienced wedding coordinator in the area. They have contacts with the suppliers and they’ve worked with them in the past. So for a Batangas wedding, go for a coordinator in Batangas. They’ll know the great Batangas resorts and wedding venues.
Do ocular inspections
This is another reason why you should go for a closer venue. You should be able to check out the wedding venue in order to have a feel of the surroundings. A 2 to 4 hour drive to Batangas is easier and cheaper than a 1 hour flight to Boracay plus the check in time. You can make an adventure out of it. Set aside a whole day and check out the things to do in Batangas and the foods to try. You should also check out the tourist attractions in Batangas. Stay in one of the hotels in Batangas or even in your chosen Batangas beach resort and you’ll have a grand time with the inspections.
Inform guests in advance
You should tell your guests in advance so that they’ll be able to make the necessary adjustments and plans. It’s also a great way to stir up the excitement.
Know the wedding traditions
While this is not really a must, it’s a good idea to know the wedding traditions in Batangas. You don’t have to follow them but they’re fun to know.
These tips are a great start for a destination wedding in Batangas. Also, remember to have fun with your fiancé when you visit! Contact us or leave a message if you have any questions.
