Weddings Abroad

Planning a Wedding Abroad Yourself

Visit the location before your wedding day. It will help you to get to know your location better and meet up with any local suppliers
Find someone who speaks the local language to help you out if possible
Consult the foreign embassy or consulate of the country you are getting married in to discuss the legal requirements of getting married in their country.
Make lists of everything – things you need to do, contact details and numbers, deadlines etc. You need to become super organised!

Legal Requirements

If you get married abroad, your marriage will most likely be legally recognised in the UK but legal requirements vary between countries
Contact the foreign embassy or consulate of the country you are considering getting married in to obtain first hand information about their legal requirements
Hiring a wedding planner in the country you plan to get married in can take a lot of the stresses away

Wedding Abroad Insurance

Although not a legal requirement, I strongly recommend Wedding Insurance for marriages abroad
Wedding Abroad Insurance offers more than Wedding Insurance Policies so make sure you choose wisely
There are different levels of cover so choose the most appropriate one for your wedding
Purchase insurance sooner rather than later so you are covered all through the planning stages

Investigate Accommodation Options for Guests

Always make sure you find accommodation that caters for all budgets.
Ask hotels if they will offer a special rate for your guests.
Let guests know what date they must book by to secure a room
Find out if hotels will allow you to put any welcome letters or gifts in your guests’ rooms.
Make an information pack for guests letting them know of recommended hotels and any special rates
Take note of when all guests arrive, where they are staying and when they arrive and depart
