Choosing a resort or wedding site

Choosing a Resort / Wedding Site

www.destinationweddingsurvivalguide.com

Once you've chosen your destination it will be time to choose your resort and/or

wedding site.

If you haven't done so make sure you also read,

"Choosing a Destination" before you get started here

Choosing a resort can either be a place for you to stay or it can be where you stay and where

you get married so we'll look at both.

What to Consider in a Resort as a Place to Stay

Are you a 5 star resort kind of girl or a quaint, off the beaten

path, hang with the locals type?

You might even be a "something in between" gal but I'm going to list some things you will want to find out about the places you're

considering as your place to stay.

~ How many rooms do they have total (you need to know there will be plenty of rooms for you and your guests)?

~ What is the price per night including any taxes or surcharges?

~ Is there a honeymoon suite, and if so, what is the price?

~ Are you able to reserve blocks of rooms?

~ Can they accommodate any guests with special needs?

~ Do they offer connecting rooms (if needed for large families)?

~ What are the different room types and how does the price differ for each?

~ What's in the room (i.e. air conditioning, refrigerator, microwave, personal safe, closet with hangers, bathtub, balcony/patio, etc.)?

~ Do they pride themselves on their service? On their food? On their cleanliness?

~ Is there internet access in the room (if needed for you and/or your guests)?

~ Is there internet access on the property? If so, what's the cost?

And all other QUESTIONS…

What to consider in a Resort as a Place to Get Married

If you are looking to have your wedding at the resort where

you're staying,here are some tips about what

you'll want to ask the resort

~ Do they offer an on-site wedding coordinator?

~ How can they be accessed (phone, email, etc.)?

~ What times do they offer for your ceremony?

~ How many weddings do they book per day?

~ Do they have a curfew or volume restriction on music and partying?

~ Do they have wedding packages and if so what's included - and can you make changes/substitutions?

~ Can you hire your own vendors or are you required to use theirs?

~ How are the wedding spaces usually decorated and what can you change?

~ How far in advance do you need to select your wedding choices?

This should get you started on the path to choosing a resort to

stay at and to possibly get married at.
