🚨 Is your venue’s “event planner” actuall 🚨 Is your venue’s “event planner” actually looking out for you? 🤔

In this must-hear clip from our latest podcast episode, @tarynstarkwyant reveals a crucial truth: a venue’s in-house event coordinator has a different agenda than you might think.

“An event manager hired by a venue, their priorities lie with that venue.” 🤯

As a former venue planner (turned independent planner extraordinaire), Taryn told us her job often involved hitting sales targets, which can mean upselling the couple on services and products that aren’t necessarily in their best interest or budget.

So, how do you protect your vision and your wallet? Taryn explains why a dedicated, independent wedding planner is your ultimate advocate on this episode of Destination I Do, The Podcast!

Stop everything! We’re sharing expert insights o Stop everything! We’re sharing expert insights on the hottest destination wedding trends expected in 2026. 🔥

Spoiler: It’s all about intentionality, deep connection, and making your wedding feel like a custom-designed retreat.

Here are the biggest shifts coming:

✨ The Vibe: Trading the 12-hour marathon for a multi-day, multi-event schedule that builds in rest and relaxation, not just celebration.

🏰 The Venue: Couples are opting for FULL PROPERTY BUYOUTS—taking over boutique hotels and private villas to create their own exclusive world (like Adult Summer Camp, but make it chic).

🌿 The Design: We’re saying goodbye to straight lines and no themes and hello to the romance of ground-level floral installations and pop culture reception themes! 

❤️ The Focus: The ultimate priority is the thoughtful guest experience. Handwritten notes, bespoke gifting, and intentional, multi-day itineraries are now essential elements, ensuring every guest feels central to the celebration.

What No One Tells You About Wedding Planning in So What No One Tells You About Wedding Planning in Southern Italy… 

Plan Amalfi ceremonies earlier as the cliffs steal the light fast.

Shoot Alberobello portraits at sunrise to avoid tourists.

Southern Italy weddings run slow. Build out a relaxed timeline for the day. 

Expect wind, heat, or sudden storms. Have shade and a backup plan! 

Best months to plan your wedding for May–June & Sept–Oct for light and fewer crowds.

✨ Why have one wedding day when you can have a w ✨ Why have one wedding day when you can have a whole experience? ✨

Multi-day destination weddings are the new “I do” — because when your guests travel across oceans, you want to make it worth the trip. 🌎

Think: welcome parties, group adventures, beachside brunches, and endless moments that actually let you connect. 💛

It’s not just a wedding anymore — it’s a mini-vacation with everyone you love.
