The Ultimate Wedding Package

By Eric Hassler | February 21, 2017

Interested in a lakeside resort with numerous activities, food and beverages and amenities for the entire weekend to house all of your family and friends? The Ultimate Wedding Package by Basin Harbor Club & Resort in Lake Champlain, Vermont, is an amazing deal to accommodate your family and friends and to ensure a memorable experience for you and your guests.

Basin Harbor has 149 accommodations that can sleep up to 275 guests, while keeping everyone within walking distance of each other. The two-night minimum stay package has the special weekend entirely planned for you.

After checking in on Friday, you can gather your wedding party for the rehearsal followed by a private cocktail cruise aboard a 48-passenger cruise boat. Afterward, you can join the rest of your guests for a lakeside rehearsal dinner and a welcome party after dinner. While getting cozy with your loved ones, you can enjoy classic lawn games and a crackling bonfire.

Helping you find your peace of mind on your wedding day, you can enjoy a private yoga class on Saturday morning, followed by a buffet overlooking the lake. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, you can enjoy the 700-acre property by kayaking, fishing, biking, paddling or canoeing.

While you’re out enjoying yourself, the ceremony and reception are complete with live violin music, bouquets, floral centerpieces, a four-hour unlimited premium bar and a live band to reflect your musical taste. Dinner will be served with the wedding cake of your choice and topped off with a fireworks show!

As your magical weekend comes to an end on Sunday, enjoy a jazz brunch with live music, mimosa bar and freshly baked pastries. As a gift to the newlyweds, Basin Harbor offers a complimentary night to celebrate your first anniversary.

With a minimum of 125 room reservations, The Ultimate Wedding Package rates start at $208,000 USD. If interested in planning your wedding in good company of all your friends and family, visit basinharbor.com to view everything this package has to offer.

Hiring friends as wedding vendors can seem like a Hiring friends as wedding vendors can seem like a great idea, but it can often lead to more problems than solutions. Here are a few reasons why: 😢 It can strain the friendship. Even the best of friends can have disagreements and conflicts, especially when it comes to money and expectations for a wedding. The stress of a wedding can cause tensions to rise, and the last thing you want is to damage a friendship over your special day. 🙄 There may be a lack of professionalism. When friends are in a professional setting, their behavior can change and their priorities may shift. They may not take the wedding as seriously as a hired vendor would, leading to poor quality work or even missed deadlines. 💵 It can put a financial strain on the friendship. Wedding vendors charge for their services, and when friends are involved, there may be confusion over payment expectations. This can result in awkward conversations and hurt feelings, potentially damaging the friendship. While hiring friends as vendors for your destination wedding may seem like a convenient solution to a tight budget or the stress of finding the right vendor, it can often lead to more problems than solutions. To avoid any potential conflicts, it’s best to stick with professional vendors who are experienced and equipped to handle the responsibilities of a wedding. ***HOWEVER, if your friend just so happens to be a professional wedding vendor, here are a few questions to ask before bringing them aboard: • Do they provide a contract detailing their services, pricing, etc? • How much experience do they have with weddings specifically? • Are they comfortable working in a location they may be unfamiliar with? • Do they have deadlines in place for payments, progress updates, etc?

Pacific Coast wedding perfection 🥰🤌🏼 Cam Pacific Coast wedding perfection 🥰🤌🏼 Camille was asked to the Navy ROTC Ball by Kevin during their freshman year of college. They remained “just friends” for the next few years, but their senior year, Camille found herself needing a date to her sorority’s event. Kevin’s eagerness after the invite cued Camille to the fact that he probably wanted to be more than just friends. That night the sparks flew and lit an inextinguishable flame that would carry them down the aisle in Santa Barbara, California.

With family in the Midwest and an October wedding With family in the Midwest and an October wedding date, Elizabeth and Tyler went in search of a warm-weather destination. “We thought Naples looked beautiful and knew it would be nice, warm weather the time of year we wanted to get married,” says the bride. They took a chance and visited their destination wedding location for the first time when searching for a venue. Fortunately, it was love at first sight and the couple went full-steam ahead with planning. After their ceremony, the newlyweds and guests moved to an elaborately decorated courtyard for dinner. “The reception started in the courtyard of the hotel, which we enjoyed through our salad until it started raining,” recalls Elizabeth. Elizabeth and Tyler took the light showers in stride and channeled the cheery, island-vibe of their décor to see them through! Do you have a “plan b” in case of weather?

You can combine your wedding and your honeymoon! 3. One advantage of destination weddings is that you can choose a location where your budget will go further. 4. You won't need lots of extra decor. 5. Opting for an all-inclusive venue is actually a great way to save. With all meals, drinks, entertainment and more included, there’s rarely a reason to break out your wallet! Are you convinced? 😜 Follow along for more destination wedding tips, advice and inspiration!
