For Elisa and Alain-Sam, finding the right setting For Elisa and Alain-Sam, finding the right setting for their wedding happened in a cinematic twist of fate. 

After touring dozens of venues across the city without finding the right match, the couple had accepted their losses on the final day in the LA area. That’s when a last-minute recommendation redirected them to the perfect venue. 

“We visited countless venues, but there was always something that didn’t feel quite right,” Elisa says. “We managed to arrange a visit at the very last minute, on the same day as our departure. When we arrived, we instantly knew we would get married there. There was a timeless charm to it. It instantly reminded us of a Nancy Meyers movie: romantic, warm, and effortlessly beautiful.”

The bells are ringing over Santorini! 🔔 Two years The bells are ringing over Santorini! 🔔

Two years before standing on the whitewashed cliffs of Oia in a wedding gown, Tish saved a photo of Santorini to a digital vision board on August 16, 2022. It wasn’t until she was deep in the wedding planning process with her fiancé, Weston, that she happened to check the timestamp on that original photo. The date saved was August 16th, the exact calendar day they had chosen for their nuptials years later!

Getting ahead of what your destination wedding gue Getting ahead of what your destination wedding guests wonder about sets everyone up to arrive feeling prepared and ready to celebrate YOU! 

Here’s a look at the questions guests ask most, and how to make sure the answers are waiting for them. ➡️

Insights by @ofdconsulting @julianribinikstudios @robertsandco @keithwillard @kgeventsdesign @destinationweddings.com_ @peachperfectwed @valentinaweddingsandevents @chandaievents @bambino_international @angelikajohns @jetsettingwithmichele

Guests shouldn’t have to guess what the couple is providing versus what they’ll be on the hook for.

“Guests want to know what the trip is actually going to cost them once you add up flights, hotel, ground transportation, and time off work.” - @julianribinikstudios 

Packing for a multi-day destination wedding is a puzzle, and few things create more stress than not knowing what to wear.

“Because it is a destination wedding, guests tend to let their imaginations run wild. Some immediately picture beachwear or Hawaiian shirts, so setting expectations early helps everyone feel more comfortable and prepared.” - @keithwillard 

Getting around an unfamiliar destination is one of the most common sources of stress for wedding guests, and it starts the moment they land.

 “Beyond the venue details, knowing and understanding the available transportation arrangements to and from airports and hotels can cause a lot of stress for guests.” - @robertsandco 

“The couples who design the weekend like a guest experience, instead of solving it like a logistics problem, end up with weddings that their guests bring up for years afterward.” - @jetsettingwithmichele

5 Common Wedding Fails (& How to Avoid Them) 📲 G 5 Common Wedding Fails (& How to Avoid Them) 

📲 Guests snapping their own photos on cell phones can be distracting, and it can ruin the professional photos you’ve paid so much to get. Have a sign at the entrance of your ceremony, and ask your officiant to kindly remind them not bring them out. 

😅 The shoulder “scrunch” an escort has to do to fit a three-person processional line into a narrow aisle doesn’t look great in photos. On top of that, it creates a tripping hazard. Make sure the chairs are set up so you have enough room for movement.

😘 Officiants get caught in the first kiss photos all too often, but many don’t know to step out of the way for the photo op. Kindly ask them to do so and rehearse it if necessary. 

🔈 Believe it or not, your guests want to hear what your officiant and you as the couple have to say during the ceremony. Be sure you have a mic and speakers to amplify voices, especially for an outdoor ceremony.

🥵 If your wedding location is known for unpredictable storms, or particularly warm or cold weather, it’s worth it to provide guests with simple comforts. That way, they can fully focus on celebrating you! 

While you can’t foresee every potential wedding fail, the best thing you can do to stress less is hire an experienced planner! They’re worth every penny (or nickel, I guess.)
