Get Wed on a Tropical Isle
Dec 8th, 2011 Simon Coleman
Planning a wedding is often said to be one of the most stressful times you can go through along with moving house and having a baby, and not surprising really when you consider all the planning that goes into the big day and the important decisions that have to be made. So deciding to have a wedding event in a foreign country must be double the stress load, right?
In fact the opposite is true and this is proven by the growing number of people getting married in a tropical destination and then having their honeymoon there too - 2 for the price of 1!
Your wedding day should be one that is unforgettable, for all the right reasons of course, and be looked back on with fond memories. Tropical weddings can offer all this, as well as provide you with stunning photographs and the holiday of a lifetime. Bring your family and friends over for the trip and what more could you possibly wish for?
If you do want to book your wedding in another country from where you live then meticulous planning is very important as you want to get everything right and ensure the day runs as smoothly as possible. Once you know your destination then look for a reputable and established resort or hotel that offers a dedicated wedding planning service and get in touch with them with a list of questions.
One of the first questions you will want to ask is how much time they need to prepare and make all the arrangements - if you are planning on getting married in a year then that should be plenty of time, however if your intended date is in 2 months then you will need to ensure all the preparations can be arranged for that date.
The cost of the service is the next question as you may find prices vary dramatically between resorts, we all know that weddings do not come cheap so you need to check every little detail in regards to what exactly is included in the price they quote you.
Other details you need to know are where the event will take place. Some resorts actually set it up so the ceremony can be right on the beach which is very romantic, whilst others may have beautiful landscaped gardens, you can discuss this with your wedding planner and they will doubtless go out of their way to accommodate you.
An organized wedding planner should be in constant touch with you and answer calls or emails within 24 hours, the last thing you want when organizing your wedding is to be waiting days for the person in charge to let you know about important decisions and plans.
Ask for the layout of the location and images to be emailed so you can visualize everything before the big day, this can also include decorations, flowers, the surroundings and anything else you request. Most websites offer an online gallery of weddings they have planned previously or ask them for references if you are still not sure.
The time of day is essential if you marry on a tropical isle like Koh Samui in Thailand as the mid-day sun can get very hot and will be uncomfortable for everyone. These kinds of details should be thought of by the wedding experts but its always better to ask yourself to make sure details are to your satisfaction.
The cost of a Samui wedding can always be negotiated - do not be afraid to ask for a discount particularly if you are going for the whole works - or ask for certain things to be thrown in for free, such as the decorations or music. Resorts generally have a full package price where everything is included or have a basic package and then charge for each additional sevice/item you require.
There are hundreds of questions you will have when making your plans so do not be afraid to ask, you do not want to turn up and find that nothing is right! Let them know exactly what you want and check every document and detail they send you.
A Koh Samui resort is an ideal setting in which you can fulfill your dream of a tropical beach island wedding surrounded by tall coconut trees, sandy beaches and the deep blue ocean. What better place to start a new life? Combine it with a holiday, invite family and friends and the memories will last a lifetime.About the Author:
