Organising a destination wedding can be an exciting adventure, but it also brings its own challenges. Take a look at these expert tips from Julaursa – Wedding Planner in France, with everything you need to know about planning your destination wedding.
Here are the main aspects to consider when determining whether you need a wedding planner:
Organisational complexity
Language and culture: If your wedding takes place in a country where you don’t speak the language or understand the customs, a local organiser can be an invaluable asset for communicating with suppliers. What’s more, he/she will already have a well-stocked list of suppliers.
Remote coordination: You’ll have to plan everything remotely, which can be complicated without the help of a locally-based professional.
Budget
Financial benefits: Although hiring an organiser represents an additional cost, it can save you money by giving you access to negotiated rates with suppliers.
Flexibility: Some organisers offer services à la carte or for specific aspects (for example, only coordination on the big day). Julaursa offers three formulas to suit your needs and expectations.
Stress management
Simplification: An organiser takes care of the logistical details, allowing you to concentrate on your guests and enjoy the event to the full.
Local experience: They know the best venues, suppliers and solutions for any unforeseen event.
Your availability
If you have a busy schedule or can’t make scouting trips, an on-site organiser can take care of inspections, meetings and adjustments.
Finally, if you’re looking for a stress-free, perfectly orchestrated wedding in a foreign destination, a wedding planner can be an excellent investment. However, if your destination is familiar and you’re comfortable with managing the details, you might consider doing it yourself with care.
