Plan a destination wedding in Spain and Italy is a unique experience for both you and your guests, but it also involves significant logistical work. To ensure everything goes perfectly, having a wedding planner specialized in destination weddings in Spain or Italy is essential. If you have doubts and don’t know where to start planning your destination wedding in Spain or Italy, here are 5 key tips to plan your destination wedding stress-free and enjoy the process.
Choose the perfect destination for your wedding. Spain or Italy?
The first step is deciding which country you want to host your destination wedding in. Both Spain and Italy are incredible destinations, each with its own unique charm. At Elefantes y Gaviotas, we specialize in both destinations and can help you choose the perfect location for your wedding. If you’re undecided, we offer a few options.
Weddings in Spain: We have wonderful locations such as the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza), romantic beaches of the Costa Brava, or multicultural cities like Madrid or Barcelona.
Weddings in Italy: Tuscany with its dreamlike landscapes, the Amalfi Coast with its sea views, or romantic cities like Rome or Venice are just a few options for your destination wedding in Italy.
If you don’t know where to start, don’t worry! During our initial consultation, we’ll help you choose the ideal location for you and your partner.
Set a clear budget from the start
It’s very important to establish a realistic budget when planning a destination wedding in Spain or Italy. Setting it from the beginning will help you avoid surprises and make better decisions.
Consider the following items when setting your budget:
Accommodation and transportation for your guests.
Wedding costs: decoration, catering, florists, photography.
Extras: hair and makeup for guests, activities for the days leading up to the wedding.
We’ll help you manage your budget effectively, tailoring it to your needs and the reality of a destination wedding. You’ll also be able to understand the real cost of getting married in Spain or Italy and compare it with what you imagined.
Hire a wedding planner specializing in destination weddings
The best advice I can give you for a stress-free destination wedding is to hire a specialized wedding planner. We take care of everything, from finding suppliers, logistics, and designing the decoration to coordinating the wedding day.
We help you manage all the details so you can enjoy the process without worries. Our team will be your perfect ally to make your dream wedding come true.
Make at least one visit to the destination (if possible)
Although it’s possible to organize a destination wedding without visiting the location, it would be ideal if you can visit the chosen destination at least once. A site visit will allow you to see wedding venues in person, meet with suppliers, and finalize important details.
At Elefantes y Gaviotas, we can help you coordinate your visit and make the most of it. If you can’t travel before the wedding day, don’t worry! We arrange all necessary meetings online. We’ve organized perfect weddings without meeting the couples until the week of the event, so there’s no need to stress if you can’t visit before.
Don’t forget the experience of your guests
Planning a destination wedding in Spain and Italy is much more than organizing just the wedding day. It’s about creating an experience for your guests that goes far beyond attending your celebration. If your budget allows, organizing a pre-wedding party for them can be a perfect way to relieve stress and enjoy time with your guests before the big day. We can also arrange activities in the days leading up to the wedding, such as tours, wine tastings, and dinners.
