Wedding preparations can be overwhelming. Scouting a wedding venue, having invites printed and sent out, and scheduling countless appointments with various suppliers are no easy feat. Even more daunting is planning a destination wedding, where there are more factors and expenses to consider. 

However, destination weddings don’t have to be challenging nor expensive. Here are four steps to start preparing for an affordable destination wedding:

• Pick a Destination

Before choosing a destination solely on its sentimental value, consider how accessible it is to all the resources you might need. That quaint beach on a remote island may hold memories of how you and your partner fell in love but may not have enough amenities to accommodate all your guests.

One popular wedding destination is Fort Lauderdale. Located in southeast Florida, this coastal city boasts of sugary white sand beaches that serve as the perfect backdrop for a beach wedding while the sun sets on the Atlantic.

• Select a Date

Once you choose your location, set a wedding date that takes into consideration the climate in that area. While better deals are offered off-season, factor in the weather conditions on your wedding day.

Fort Lauderdale has fair weather all year round. However, summer season can be a bit temperamental with some days being hot and humid while other days are wet and cloudy. Hurricanes are also common during this season. The best time to hold your wedding here would be anytime from December to April when the weather is pleasantly warm and dry.

• Choose a Wedding Venue

Now that you have picked your wedding location and date, it’s time to scout for a banquet hall. In Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood Events is one of the most popular choices as a wedding venue and ceremony location. With its beachfront location, you can have both a beach wedding and an awesome reception in their party hall.

Their 2,000-sq.ft. party venue can accommodate up to 140 guests. It’s equipped with a professional sound system, disco and laser light dance area, 60” television, 3D video projection services, and many other facilities for a fun-filled celebration.

• Hire a Wedding Planner

The best way to have a stress-free wedding is to get the help of professionals. Hiring a reliable wedding planner can avert potential disasters and ensure that every detail is covered. It’s advisable to get an on-site planner who is familiar with the local area and can easily coordinate with local supplier, caterers, videographers, etc.

Hollywood Events can help you plan and prepare everything you need for your wedding in Fort Lauderdale. Through their event planning services, they can handle the wedding ceremony, reception program, and even your honeymoon accommodations. 

Hollywood Events can work with any budget so you don’t need to worry about financial constraints. They can even get discounts for your hotel rooms and suites. They have years of experience in event planning so you’re assured that they can efficiently facilitate everything. When you get there, all you need to do walk down the aisle and enjoy the celebration of your happiest day.
