How far in advance should we book our destination wedding resort?
For the best availability of venues and room blocks, we highly recommend booking your resort 12 to 18 months in advance. Premium venues—especially oceanfront gazebos and rooftop terraces—and popular dates tend to fill up very quickly.
Are the wedding packages fully customizable?
Absolutely. While our luxury resort partners offer beautifully curated packages as a foundation, every detail can be tailored to match your unique vision. From custom floral arrangements and upgraded decor to specialized menus and entertainment, you can personalize the entire experience.
Will our destination wedding be legally binding?
Most couples opt for a "symbolic" ceremony at the resort, having taken care of the legal paperwork in their home country prior to travel. However, legal (civil) ceremonies are absolutely possible! Requirements vary by country, and your DestaWed specialist will guide you through the specific legalities, blood tests, or translation requirements for your chosen destination.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
Every 4 and 5-star resort we partner with has a comprehensive, stress-free "Plan B" in place. Should the weather not cooperate for your outdoor beach or garden ceremony, the resort's dedicated team will seamlessly transition your event to a beautiful, pre-reserved indoor or covered venue.
Is there a minimum number of guests required to book a wedding?
Minimums vary depending on the specific resort and the wedding package you choose. Some properties welcome intimate elopements of just two people, while others require a minimum room block to secure private event spaces for the reception. Your DestaWed expert will help you match with a resort that perfectly fits your expected guest count.
Will we have a dedicated wedding planner at the resort?
Yes! When you book your destination wedding, you will be assigned a dedicated, on-site wedding coordinator provided by the resort. They will be your point of contact leading up to the big day and will handle all day-of logistics, vendor coordination, and setup so you can simply relax and enjoy your celebration.
