With the perfect short-term rental home secured on With the perfect short-term rental home secured on North Carolina's Outer Banks, Madison and Robyn felt confident in their decision to have a destination wedding near Robyn's original hometown. 

Because Robyn is a corporate event planner, the couple initially intended to spearhead the logistics themselves and simply lean on a coordinator for day-of support. However, they quickly realized they were a bit in over their heads...

“It was about three to four months before we realized how wrong we were, and thankfully, Ashley was able to step up and help,” Robyn says, “Looking back, our biggest regret was not having hired her as our full-time planner from Day One.”

Tips for Saving Your Wedding Guests From Soaring A Tips for Saving Your Wedding Guests From Soaring Airfare 💵✈️

For before you’ve selected your location and date:
✨ Target High-Volume Hubs
As a general rule, the more airlines that service an airport, the more deals you can score on flights, so consider saying “I do” in locations with consistent routes and multiple carriers.

✨ Assess where the bulk of your guest list resides
While the weather may not always be ideal during a destination’s shoulder season (the period between a destination’s peak season and off-season), pricing is often at its best. This is what many travel professionals would call the “sweet spot” where flight costs and resort rates drop simultaneously. 

✨ Map Out the Guest Footprint First
Long before picking a resort, it is wise to consider where the bulk of your guest list resides and how far they’d have to go.

✨ Extend the Planning Runway
One of the single most powerful actions a couple can take is securing their date 12 to 18 months in advance. A longer planning period for guests means a better window to track flight fares, increasing the chances of scoring a good deal.

Italy was the easy answer... but WHERE in Italy wa Italy was the easy answer... but WHERE in Italy was the harder question. That is, until Alexandra and Peyton's wedding planner stepped in and pointed them toward Ravello, a hilltop gem perched above the Amalfi Coast. 

"We quickly learned why she knew it was the perfect destination for us; by the sea, beautiful views, slightly more secluded, and easily walkable," the couple recalls. "We were so thankful for her role in this important decision."
