			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://zurianasoccasions.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/leblancweddingdec2011.jpg" alt="Destination Wedding at Le Blanc in Cancun" /></p>
<p>Destination weddings are a great way to add a wow factor to your wedding especially when you choose a destination that serves as a stunningly beautiful backdrop.  Your wedding can be a four day celebration instead of only four or five hours. It is the perfect way to celebrate with your closest friends and family.</p>
<p>Destination weddings also offer a considerable savings.  According to BRIDES magazine&#8217;s 2011 American Wedding Study the average cost of a wedding in 2011 was $26,501.  In comparison, in Cancun, for example, a beach ceremony and sit down reception for 75 guests costs around $8,000 (2013 pricing).</p>
<p>When planning a destination wedding keep the following in mind:</p>
<ul>
<li>Consider a location that is easily accessible</li>
<li>Consider the amount of travel time to and from the resort</li>
<li>Consider if you or your guests will bring children to the wedding. If yes choose a family friendly resort.</li>
<li>Consider a resort that offers an all-inclusive option so you and your guests know what you will pay in advance.</li>
<li>Plan early and set up your room block early to give guests ample time to plan.</li>
<li>You will also want to plan early if your wedding ceremony will be during a popular month such as June or on a Saturday. Note, in some countries you can not marry on a Sunday. Plan accordingly.</li>
<li>Consider if you will have a legal or symbolic ceremony.</li>
<li>Know the legalities of getting married in your chosen destination as well as any residency requirements.</li>
</ul>
<p>For assistance planning your destination wedding give us a call.</p>
