Destination check list

A destination wedding can be as simple or as complicated as you make it, but there are certain additional considerations.

Documents

Required documents may include proof of identity, written proof that the bride and/or groom are not already married, and visas. If English is not the official language, some documents may need to be translated and a translator may have to be present at the ceremony.

Climate

According to Carol Kong, event co-ordinator at destination wedding planner company Matrimonial Bliss, the most commonly overlooked aspect of a destination wedding is the climate, especially the Asian monsoon season. Backup plans should be made in case it rains on the day.
