Things to look for when selecting a Destination Wedding Planner, photographer and vendors![]() As you contemplate and plan your destination wedding, the destination wedding planner you chose can make all the difference between a dream wedding or a nightmare. Knowledge of the location: Your wedding planner or coordinator is the person that is going to make your life a dream.� And as with most dreams, some things seem impossible…but to the skilled wedding planner, your dreams become reality…if they know the location.� The wedding planners in Belize know belize…if you want white orchids that arent grown in belize, your wedding planner can make it happen for you. If you are working with a Destination Wedding Planner from the US, make sure they are partnering with someone in Belize (like me! ![]() Personality Whether we like it or not, someone’s personality can have a very real impact on your special day.� You dont want to be stressed and you certainly do not want to be “told” what you want.� You want someone that you can work with, someone that is going to be strong enough to guide you but not strong arm you.��� Your vendors need to be able to work with you.�� Please do bare in mind that a little honey goes a lot farther than a little vinegar, so be nice, and expect nice in return. Budget Although we all wish we were made of money, most of us arent.� Therefore, like it or not, budgets matter.� Everyone has their own way of spending their money, so far be it for me to tell you how to spend yours, however, i do think there are some basic tips and points you should consider. When i had my destination wedding, the wedding photographer was the single most important thing to me.� Well, that and my fiance ![]() You will also want to make sure that your paperwork is properly filed and processed properly in Belize.� What price, peace of mind? Think about your budget, and think about what will really matter to you 40 years from now.� You may or may not remember what you ate for dinner, but i guarantee you’ll remember if your photos are lousy and your paperwork not legal. Creativity and Flexibility I’m a big believer in “YES!”.��� When I was discussing my big belief in “YES”, a wedding planner i had lunch with yesterday said “The answer is ‘yes’.� Now, whats the question?”.�� This doesnt mean the person is looking to blow smoke up your skirt, it means they have a creative, problem solving mind, and the goal is to create your wedding…the destination wedding of your dreams.� Someone who believes in “YES” is going to work super hard to solve the problems, glitches, and hitches that are going to come along. We are a very laid back place, our country Belize.� We can do what you want, how you want, and have the flexibility to make it happen.�� Last minute changes and additions, while not fun for anyone, are absolutely part of the business, and we all understand that.� We are a very accommodating place, and just truly want you to be happy here, love belize, and love your wedding. ![]()
