All you need to know to nurture your relationship with your
wedding-planner.
We can easily read everywhere that you (the bride-to-be) and your destination wedding planner will be the BFF – mean by Best Friends for ever.
Sorry to annihilate your illusions, but you signed a contract together, and as friendly and devoted your destination wedding planner is, you will definitely enjoy her professionalism instead her friendship. At least up to your wedding. Once your wedding done, you have all the latitude to let your heart speaks. I personally have real friends who were first clients. That’s the way it goes: we were meant to meet.
Anyway.. confessions to your destination wedding planner
As a destination wedding is very different to manage, you have to keep in mind that some topics have to be discussed to ensure a good relationship and a fantastic destination wedding.
#1 | Where your guests are coming from?
Welcoming your guests and providing the perfect she scheduling for them is one of the top priority of your destination wedding-planner.
Your childhood friend is now living in London for more 14 years? Fantastic. But I can predict that your husband-to-be’ s cousin from Johannesburg will have a different biologoical rythm, related to the time zone. But also due to the length of their trip to join their wedding.
With these information, your destination wedding-planner will be deeper in the timeline’s precision of your big day. The cocktail hour and the wedding dinner will be differently shaped from a classical local wedding. confessions to your destination wedding planner
