I am getting married in Key West, FL. This is a destination wedding, I live in NY. I flying to Key West in a week to do all the planning, the wedding is a year from now. I am super nervous! I have meetings to look at 2 venues (one which I am leaning more towards) walking the grounds, going over packages, etc. Also to meet with the caterer, florist and the cake maker. I feel like I am leaving something out though. Can anyone offer me some helpful advice on things to follow up on when I go down there to see first hand which I wont be able to do from a distance once I return. All suggestions are greatly appreciated!
I need help with planning my destination wedding, see details!?
If this is your first initial meeting, you may also want to check out local bands/djs and find out if they are playing live during the week you are there. Meet with a photographer (you can see pictures via websites, but you should really know their personality and if it fits with yours). Who will be marrying you? If you can meet with that person as well, it is good to build a relationship, if you can - it will personalize your ceremony more. Have fun!
Reply:What about the officiant? Also, is there a tasting at either of the venues?
See if the hotel offers a room deal for your guests.
Reply:Photographer, videographer and music (band or dj) in addition to officiant, that was already said.
Good luck
Reply:Try aweddingforyou.com. Also go to theknot.com and it will give you all the info you need to plan a destination wedding. You are leaving something out, "the photographer". Very important. Also I would look at more than two venues if I were you. There is alot of competition in Fla. now for destination weddings and maybe that could be a bargaining chip for you price wise. Also where your family will stay if they are invited. That should be booked way in advance. Key West is a gorgeous place as I have been there many times, and you will be surprised how they are catering to destination weddings now. Also your gown should be purchased six months before wedding. dessy.com and alfredangelo.com. Also try tripadvisor.com and then click keywest, florida. Good Luck
