Overseas Weddings
Getting married abroad was until a couple of years ago a box standard affair in the caribbean, but now there is some fantastic purpose built hotels and resorts with breathtaking settings and guaranteed weather in some of the worlds best locations.
Research is the key though when choosing your destination and a few things need to be considered before taking the plunge and booking those flights.
Location choice is all important and consideration should be given to peak season destinations being overcrowded and hot and if you are thinking about the caribbean or any other southern hemisphere location the season is between November and April with lots of rain inbetween!
Generally speaking getting married abroad is a more intimate affair with time to spend with close family and friends and the bonus of course is it can be considerably cheaper.
Different countries have different traditions and legal requirements. This is where the research really needs to be focused and detailed. Check out the marriage laws, legal requirements and exact documentation you will be required to produce. Often Civil ceremonies are the only recognized ceremony and be sure to check if the particular Country has a minimum residency requirement prior to your big day. Finally be sure to check all passports are valid for at least 6 months after your return and any visas are applied for well in advance.
Consider the services of a wedding planner if your wedding is a little more than a standard wedding package. Local knowledge is invaluable when choosing hairdressers, restaurants, flowers and cars etc and an experienced planner can ensure a smooth effortless day is guaranteed.
