Hey Brides -

 

After 8 months of writing...I’m getting closer to launching my book on planning a destination wedding and am seeking feedback from 10 brides who are just getting started with planning their wedding.

 

I know there’s a lot of fear about planning from a distance and trying to negotiate in another language. I was in your shoes not too long ago…

 

I went through this process when I was planning my wedding abroad but it was easier because I grew up in Latin America, learned the language and understand the business culture. So I was able to negotiate great rates and plan a fun and affordable wedding getaway in the tropics. I love destination weddings because you’re able to have a wedding that’s “over the top†for a fraction of the price it costs here in the U.S.

 

In exchange for taking the time to read my book and providing me with some general feedback (including a testimonial if you like it!), I’m willing to help you for free with the most important stages of destination wedding planning such as deciding on the destination, the budget, the guest list, the date and negotiating a deal with your venue.

 

Let me know if you’re interested in receiving a free preview copy of my destination wedding planning book and optionally, if you want some free help in exchange!

 

Please send me a private e-mail at Carolina[at]FlyToMyWedding.com no later than 9/15/10.

 

Also, I’m trying to compile a list of fears that brides have about planning a destination wedding. Please reply below and let me know what your #1 fear is about planning a destination wedding? Thank you so much :)

 

Cheers,

 

Carolina Cruz

I hear you. I was afraid too. Do not worry. At the end everything will workout. There are things we cannot control such as sickness or a personal problem. Be positive and do not think about those events. One of the things you need to make sure is that they have the budget for the trip. If they do not have the budget you can find ways to help them out such as using miles to pay at least for their airplane ticket or finding inexpensive hotels for them to stay. 

 

In my case, I flew the nanny because I wanted to have my nieces with me and give peace of mind to my sisters, so they could party with me until the sunrise ;-)

I have 2 big fears for my wedding:

1) weather - part of the reason I am choosing a destination wedding is for the gorgeous venues (I will be getting married at a seaside gazebo and have the reception on the beach) so I would be heartbroken if I ended up inside due to weather

2) that in this economy I will lose my job between now and the wedding and I will have to do without a lot of the extras that I will want to make my day special (my company has been doing layoffs for the past 2 years, so this is a reality for me)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
