अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

How early should we plan a destination wedding?

Start 12 to 18 months ahead when you can, so guests have time to arrange travel and you can handle documents and site visits.

Do we need to be legally married at the destination?

Rules vary by country. Check the local marriage requirements early, and consider a legal ceremony at home plus a symbolic ceremony abroad.

When should we send save-the-dates?

Send them as soon as the date and location are set, ideally with a wedding website that lists flights, lodging, and travel documents.

How do we help guests with travel costs?

Negotiate a room block or group rate, suggest a range of lodging prices, and share travel details early so guests can budget.

Should we visit the venue before the wedding?

Yes, if possible. A site visit lets you meet vendors, test food, and confirm logistics that are hard to judge from photos.
