Wedding Budget

Lets talk about the Wedding Budget. 
Start by making a checklist of the "Must Have" and the "Nice to Have", one being the most important and the other one being the least. 
The budget is all about balance and priorities. 
For starters, take a good look and super-duper evaluate your guests' list. The more guests you have, the more food, liquor and decor you have to have. Your guests will always remember and talk about - the music and the food. So, the quality of these two should be a great priority. 
But most importantly, do what feels right for you both, not what people should expect. It's all about the overall experience that they will have, and the love and gratitude that you both will reflect on that special day towards them.

Here are my top 5 picks: 
- Is this Love, Bob Marley
- For once in my life, Stevie Wonder
- Crazy little thing called love, Queen
- Cheerleader, Omi
- Beautiful Day, U2

Hire a Professional Wedding Planner

Ask yourself these questions before you decide that you will coordinate your own Destination Wedding and not hire a Professional Experienced Wedding Planner.

“Have you ever planned more than one wedding before?”

“Do you have the time to plan a wedding?”

"Do you know how many hours it requires to plan a wedding?"

“Do you have any contacts abroad?”

“Do you have any experience checking: contracts, vetting suppliers, visiting venues, verifying their insurances and credentials and what assurance do you have of their professionalism at your wedding?”

*These are only just a few questions to answer before you put on your Wedding Planner's cape.

"Day of the Wedding" Coordinator

You have planned everything, and you need someone to run the show so you can relax and enjoy the big day. 

These are my duties as a "Day of the Wedding" Coordinator: 
- I will introduce myself to your vendors and get an idea of what to expect on the wedding day. 
- I will review your contracts and understand exactly who is doing what and when. 
- I will create your day-of timeline, which will break down all the details regarding arrival times, setup and breakdown. 
- I will do a site visit with you both.
- Discuss all of the details you have planned to get an idea of how you envision the space on your wedding day. 
- The day before your wedding, I will run your ceremony rehearsal. 
- On your wedding day, I will be there to take care of everything. 
- Distribute the final payments/tips to the vendors.
- At the end of the evening, I will pack all of your goodies up (cake knives, flutes, gifts, etc.)

Happy Newlyweds

You'll both have little time to be alone with your spouse on your big day. Try to make a moment after the ceremony for some quality time. 
Start calling him/her "husband/wife" for the first time, admire your new wedding bands, and assure some TLC. Arrange with your Wedding Planner to have some hors d'oeuvres and drinks while your guests are at the cocktail hour, so you both can enjoy it as well.

Enjoy your Wedding Day

Soak it all in! 
Some couples forget to take a moment to look around the room once everything planned is finally taking place. Take a moment to relax and enjoy the result of planning an emotional and fun-filled memory in your lives.
Being able to soak all of your hard work in, will feel amazing.

Wedding Tip

Aim for a marriage more beautiful than your Wedding.

Marriage is so much more than just your wedding day. It’s spending quality time with each other and remembering who you fell in love with and with who you want to grow old with.

Bridal Party

How often do you get to spend an entire day with your best friends all together? 
For the day of your Wedding, while getting ready, arrange to have things to eat and drink, play some music, but to make things more fun, buy to each one of them matching ropes. This will make great photos for you all to cherish.

Wedding Vows

Are you planning on writing your own vows? 
Let me give you a couple of tips you can consider:  
1) Decide if you want to write them together or not. 
2) Read vow examples for inspiration.
3) Consider a structure that you both can use as a jumping off point. 
4) Decide on a word-count maximum. 
5) Focus on things that symbolizes your relationship.

Overall experience, WONDERFUL!!! My (now) husband and I were very pleased with the service provided by Merylin, her vendors and her great assistant.
