Resort beaches offer unique destinations for all types of weddings. You can plan all inclusive destination weddings featuring accommodation, meals, fun activities, the ceremony, and reception. Such plans cover you, your spouse, and your guests. Here's how to plan an all inclusive beach wedding:

Create Your Checklist

The standard checklist for all inclusive destination weddings covers budget, dates, confirmations, and purchase deadlines. Your wedding budget includes the cost per person, all inclusive package, and additional expenses. Compare different venues and packages to find one that aligns with your outlined needs. Set a wedding date and find out if the resort will reserve those days. You can receive confirmation for your desired wedding party, videography, bands and performances, and pre-wedding and post-wedding activities.

All inclusive wedding planners handle vendor reservations and other accommodations for your ceremony. You should also have deadlines for sending invitations and obtaining a travel passport. Apply for a marriage license in time for your legal ceremony. Creating a checklist allows you to go through each item in time for your wedding. Some items, like budgeting and reserving a venue, can be done several months earlier. Others, like travel visas, require the right timing to give you adequate time in the country. Create reminders to help you check items off the list.

Enlist Professional Services

Wedding planners guide you through selecting a venue and creating a travel plan. They will help you assess the destination's weather, accessibility, and legal requirements. Professional wedding planners also help you compare ceremony setups, accommodations, catering, and amenities. Look for agencies that partner with resorts in your desired destinations.

Leading destination wedding agencies allow you to build a custom wedding website that you can share with guests. The website provides details about your wedding and is a portal guests can use to book their preferred rooms. You can also track guest count and reservations. Look for experienced agencies with customer support and flexible booking. You can choose a venue and confirm your wedding and reservation to meet your support team. Professionals also help you explore destination wedding tools, finalize the ceremony preparations, and make travel arrangements. An on-site coordinator will assist you and your guest if any issues arise. 

Personalize Your Experience

With a checklist and a professional team in place, you can personalize the wedding to make it memorable and unique. Collaborate with your planner on themed decorations, local cuisines, and group activities like sunset cruises and snorkeling. Ask your planner about travel tips to help streamline the experience for you and your guests. Create a packing list for your guests that includes beach-friendly shoes, attire, and accessories. Some resorts offer complimentary cocktails and refreshments on arrival. Review the wedding weekend itinerary to find out what's included in the rehearsal dinners, live entertainment, post-wedding brunch, and leisure activities.

Check if the venue has a backup plan in case of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Resorts often have comfortable indoor spaces where you can host your ceremony. Finalize the guest list on time, send invitations, and get an officiant to handle the legal requirements. Provide the wedding coordinator with comprehensive details of your needs, preferences, and expectations, and trust them to handle the logistics. Travel to the destination a few days early to settle in and address last-minute details that require changing.
