All-Inclusive Destination Weddings
Destination Weddings cost a quarter of the price of a traditional wedding! Formerly the exclusive domain of celebrities and the ultra-rich, Destination Weddings have in recent years become accessible to more and more couples looking to add an "exotic twist" to their special ceremony. Properly planned, a destination wedding can not only save you upwards of $20,000 off the cost of a traditional wedding, it can also turn your wedding day into an unforgettable "mini-vacation" for you and your guests.
If you say "Yes" to these questions, then it is worth considering! 1. Do you both dream of sun, sand and simplicity?
Or getting married aboard ship?
2. Would you be happy with your immediate family and a few good friends
at your wedding rather than everyone you know?
3. Would you enjoy an extended celebration over the weekend with your guests?
Or sailing away after a few hours leaving your guests behind?
4. Do you desire a very special wedding plus romantic beach honeymoon but do not have funds for both? Or have a generous budget but crave something exotic and fabulous?
Yes to 3 out of 4 questions? Read on...
Where should we go?
Consider your time constraints, money and passport requirements. Some countries require 3 days to one week advance arrival, others do not. If you do not have a passport, you can still enjoy a beach wedding in Hawaii, Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands. Mexico is usually less expensive so a good budget option. Designer weddings are available in the Carribean at super luxury resorts with your own butler. Princess Cruise line offers a package at ports (such as Seattle) where your guests board several hours before departure for the wedding and reception. After the wedding, the guests disembark, the newly-weds sail away. There are so many options and so much to decide, just call me, Anne Marie (Anne), for help. 208-964-3578 or anne@dreamalongtravel.com
Why should we use a travel agent when many resorts have their own wedding consultants?
-Your travel agent destination wedding consultant works hand-in-hand with the resort wedding planner to be sure all details are perfect and IS PAID BY THE RESORT NOT BY THE BRIDE!
-Travel agents have the power to negotiate package deals with the resorts.
-Your guests can relax with all the details taken care of for their trip as well, ensuring that they are in the same resort with the same good package deal or nearby in a condo.
-Mistakes with potential major costs or wedding delays can be avoided
by using an experienced travel agent.
Why use Anne Marie specifically rather than some unknown
destination wedding "expert" on the internet?
Anne Marie is one person, an indepent travel agent under BridalHoneymoons Travel Agency and a Certified Destination Wedding Specialist, not a randomly assigned agent from an online site. When you work with me, I am committed and accountable to you. I become your personal "Wedding Travel Consultant", dedicated to your Beach Wedding Beautiful. I will organize the paperwork, schedule guest accomodations, set up excursions, hair and nail appointments. Your event will be expertly planned, worry free and uniquely yours.
How do we get started?
We set up a meeting in person, if you are local to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, or through Skype or by phone. A discussion of your dream plans and my services takes place. If you decide, after this initial consultation, that working together is for you, a non-refundable deposit of $125 is required to retain my services. This deposit will be automatically applied to your wedding/honeymoon booking with Honeymoons by Anne Marie, SO ANNE'S SERVICES WLL COST YOU NOTHING! In the rare case that you decide to book elsewhere after working with Anne Marie, this $125 deposit becomes her consultation fee. Fair enough?
Now, here are four of my favorite destination wedding venues just to get you started.
