Making a wedding more special by planning it on special days like Christmas, Valentine’s Day or New Year is a lifetime dream of many couples. Maybe you are also planning a memorable wedding celebration this holiday season.
Wedding during the holiday season and that too at a special destination like Goa, Udaipur or Kerala will be like a cherry on the cake. But wait, do not get super excited. Destination weddings on holidays might not always a cool idea. Before planning a destination wedding during the holiday season, just have a look at some of the pros and cons of this.
Cons of destination weddings during the holiday season:
Inflated budget: Planning a destination wedding during holidays might become an extremely expensive celebration. First, you will not get any discounts or deals, due to the limited availability of hotels and rooms. Further, if you get more generous and plan to pay for the guest’s stay also, you are surely going to get a big hole in your pocket.
Absence of friends: Most people have advanced holiday plans. Guest lists for a destination wedding is already small and then missing people from that small list too will spoil all the fun. If you are making the traveling arrangements at your expense, it can also be a waste of money, when people do not turn up for the wedding.
Huge crowd: Planning a destination wedding at a popular location might have a direct impact on the quality of services provided at the venue and the presence of a huge unexpected crowd. Your plans for a beach wedding can completely be ruined by the huge crowd gathered there to celebrate New Year’s Eve.
Difficulty in finding vendors: You may also face difficulty in finding the right wedding planner, wedding decorator, and other vendors, as most of them might have their own vacation plans too. Sometimes, there are chances that you have to pay more to hire a destination wedding planner during the busy season, as they might have other contracts for Christmas and New Year events.
Pros of destination weddings during the holiday season:
No leaves from office and school: By planning marriage during the holiday season, you can save your friends from the long leave application process. They can participate in all the ceremonies without bothering about their office. Moreover, kids can also enjoy every celebration without being absent from school.
Ample time with family and friends: If everything is planned well and done in advance, a wedding during the holiday season is a great idea to spend quality time with friends and family. It will be like a long vacation with loved ones.
You can save on hotel bookings and arrangements, by hiring a destination wedding planner in advance. They will book hotels for you during the off-season to get deals and save you from the hassle of finding the right venue during the busy season. As far as the guest list is concerned, you can talk to them personally before booking rooms and tickets.
