Beach or villa wedding abroad - Help!

Laura, 26 February, 2025 at 16:59 Posted on Honeymoons & Getting Married Abroad 1 2

Hello,

I am recently engaged, and my fiance and I are wanting to have a sunny beach or villa wedding abroad. (about 60 guests) We are really struggling to figure out how to make a real start with this. I have spoken with someone and Ionion Weddings (Are they any good??!?) but nothing is jumping out at us.

How do people normally plan abroad weddings? Do we have to have a wedding planner to avoid all of the stress? We don't have a massive budget so a wedding planner doesn't suit our financial situation but would love some help.

Any guidance would be really appreciated Smiley heart

    Hello,

    Congratulations on your engagement! Planning a destination wedding can be exciting, but it's understandable that you're feeling a bit overwhelmed. Let's break down how people typically approach this and explore some budget-friendly options. NJ E-ZPass

    How People Normally Plan Abroad Weddings:

    Destination Selection:

    Start by narrowing down your destination based on your budget, desired ambiance, and accessibility for your guests. Popular choices include:

    Mediterranean countries (Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal)

    Caribbean islands

    Mexico

    Southeast Asia (Thailand, Bali)

    Consider factors like:

    Flight costs and travel time for guests.

    Legal requirements for marriage in that country.

    The time of year (weather).

    Availability of venues and vendors.

    Budgeting:

    Set a realistic budget and allocate funds for:

    Venue rental

    Food and drinks

    Flights and accommodation for yourselves

    Photography and videography

    Flowers and decorations

    Entertainment

    Wedding attire

    Legal paperwork.

    Best Regards

    If your budget is not big, I think you should not hire a wedding planner. 60 people is not too many. They are all close friends of the two of you. So let your wedding be as comfortable and fun as possible. I think the idea of ​​holding it on the beach is great. You can consider holding it in the afternoon, when the sun is still shining. It will be very beautiful for taking pictures. By Penalty Shooters
