A Maui Destination Wedding

I would like to discuss some of the advantages of a Maui destination wedding. These advantages include greater freedom, flexibility and financial control.

Planning a wedding in your home town will most likely mean that many family members and friends are going to want to help you plan it, unlike planning a Maui wedding. Chances are they might have some strong opinions, too. And, can you say "no" to your finance's mother who insists on paying for a cigar bar at your reception, while you happen to loathe cigars?

Planning for a wedding afar, especially to a premium destination such as Maui, changes all that. You can blithely say, "Oh, my wedding planner already booked us a smoke-free venue," or... you might not even invite anyone except your fiancé - something you can get away with in Hawaii, but not at the country club at home. The Beaverton relatives despise the Campanos' family - no problem. They can work it out while watching your wedding on Maui on streaming video at home and you won't have to witness the drama.

On the other hand, if you love the idea of having Mom, mother-in-law-to-be and six bridesmaids planning the whole affair, invite them and they can help out strewing petals and making shell centerpieces. Along this same vein, say you have long fantasized a bridal processional preceded by six Tahitian drummers in flowered loin cloths on a dream Maui beach. If you wanted to do this at home, and could even find the Tahitian drummers, what would Aunt Mildred say? In Pittsburgh, probably a lot. On Maui, she would just shrug and say "well, I guess 'when in Rome...'" She might actually love it, especially after a mai tai or two.

Because it is much easier to control the guest list in a destination wedding, it is easier to control the spending. You won't be expected to invite everyone you know or your sister knows, and even if you do, they won't all come. Because of the distance involved, people have to make a real effort and commitment to come to your Maui destination wedding, and only the ones who really want to be there will come. And, that's good. You probably won't get cousin Ed's former dorm mates, who are only looking for free drinks and cut bridesmaids. Another financial bonus is numerous, beautiful free Maui wedding sites.

So, in conclusion, a destination wedding in Maui or other lovely exotic locales will allow you more fun and freedom to plan the wedding of your dreams. You will likely save money, which you can use to hire a helicopter to escape to a different Hawaiian island, fleeing friends and family who do follow you after the wedding. And, they will be find, swimming, surfing, para gliding and trying to find the phone numbers of those Polynesian drummers.

Destination wedding on Miami Beach

Are you planning a destination wedding? Are you planning to get married on the beach? If so, Monique N. Gilbert has provide us with the following reasons why Miami Beach is a good location for a destination beach wedding.

She is a Wedding Officiant (Florida Notary) at Tropical Miami Beach Weddings. She caters to couples who seek a romantic and carefree beach marriage ceremony, commitment ceremony or vow renewal. She meets you at the beach of your choice and makes all the arrangements necessary. She even helps out-of-state couples obtain their Florida marriage license by mail.

Get Married on Miami Beach: The Ultimate Stress-Free Wedding

For couples looking for a casual and relaxing marriage ceremony, the beach is the perfect choice. By its very nature, the beach is a beautiful place where you can sit back, unwind and enjoy the moment. A place where a sun-dress and shorts are considered dressed up, and a bathing suit with a sarong is the norm.

Imagine having your nuptials in a warm tropical setting. Gentle ocean breezes fill the air, the sounds of waves and seagulls in the background, the sun shining overhead, and soft sand beneath your feet. Next to you is the love of your life, passionately vowing their commitment and devotion to you.

Having your wedding on the beach is a wonderful way to set the mood for a romantic honeymoon. It is an intimate celebration that is convenient and carefree, the perfect way to start a lifetime together.

As more couples plan and pay for their own weddings, they want to have a casual unique celebration and combine it with their honeymoon. This is the concept of a destination wedding. For less than the cost of a traditional wedding, they can have a wedding and honeymoon with funds to spare. Couples can travel to a tropical location; stay in a luxury oceanfront hotel, have a beach marriage ceremony, and still have money left over for restaurants, dance clubs, shopping and attractions.

South Florida is a popular tropical destination for couples who want to combine their wedding and honeymoon, but do not want to travel outside the United States. For those who desire the laid back ambiance of the Caribbean mixed with the exciting energetic atmosphere of South Beach, Miami Beach is the ideal location.

Miami Beach has become a haven for tropical destination weddings because of its beautiful weather and amenities. It has many miles of lovely beaches with a wide range of hotels and accommodations overlooking the warm Atlantic shoreline. An abundance of world renowned restaurants, bars, dance and night clubs for vibrant evenings of food and entertainment. Water sports and activities like jetskiing, snorkeling, scuba diving, boating or para sailing to fill your days with fun in the sun. Trendy stores and shopping malls to satisfy all your shopping needs.

Relaxing by the water and sunbathing is a typical pastime. You may even catch a glimpse of your favorite celebrity during your stay. Centrally located between the Florida Keys and Ft. Lauderdale, Miami Beach is a great place for a romantic casual tropical beach wedding and honeymoon.
