Destination and non-destination wedding venues

It’s weird the way we call destination wedding venues by that name, all wedding venues are held at some kind of destination, it’s still a wedding destination venue even it’s held at a local church which is only half a mile away. Just a thought.

What destination wedding venues really means are wedding ceremonies and receptions which are held in a foreign country, usually in an exotic location. The exotic location is pretty essential, nobody gets married in the factory district of Beijing, even if it is in a foreign country, although they might get married in an exotic area of Beijing.

Advantages of destination weddings

A destination wedding and wedding reception venue is pretty exciting and can be as exciting as the wedding itself. Really, a bride and groom that marry and hold their wedding reception at a foreign destination are combining their wedding with a holiday, both for themselves and their guests.

Destination weddings passport and visa requirements

You and your guests will need  passports, you may need a visa and there will be other formalities before the destination wedding can be held. But these are minor details compared with the thrill of marrying in a romantic and exciting location.

Wedding planners and destination wedding venues

A wedding planner who is experienced in planning destination weddings will be able to take care of the details, leaving you free to enjoy your once-in-a-lifetime experience. Make sure that he is experienced at this kind of wedding planning, and ask to see any proof that he might have such as travel or other documents from the destination weddings that he has organized.

Advantages of non-destination weddings

On the other hand it’s pretty guaranteed that there are also plenty of romantic and original wedding venues in your home country.
Another advantage of this  is that you will speak the language and will be be fairly familiar with the formalities of getting married, after a little basic research or after hiring a wedding consultant to do this for you.
