Benefits of a destination wedding on Waiheke Island;
Other advantages of having a destination wedding includes…
Having your guests feeling more connected and having the time to get to know each other better in the surrounding days, and to bond. That’s your family and friends becoming one, and that’s one huge advantage!
You can also have more than one party! With more nights together, you can have a dress up party, rehearsal dinner, charades night, girl’s hen party etc.
You and your guests get to celebrate together and then you all have some time to holiday and chill either after or before your wedding ceremony.
It’s also worth noting that there are some cons of having a destination wedding, including that not everyone will be able to make it (due to budget, child constraints etc). You also might need to finalise some of the details much sooner, giving your guests advance notice to book flights and accommodation.
If you want a child free wedding, you might need to organise a sitter to look after all the kids, (or offer bribes to the grandparents or uncles or aunties).
Sometimes…it’s just about the two of you. So a destination wedding can give you the best of both worlds. You get to get married and to have a short holiday break – all in one!
