Why to choose event planner based at your destination
Local wedding planner knows venues AND SERVICES
There are no assumptions involved when it comes to choosing services at your destination
If you're thinking of a destination wedding ceremony or another event and you want to hire an event planner, you have probably wondered whether to use a "travel agency” from your home country or to seek out an experienced planner based at your actual destination.
Here we have listed the advantages of a wedding planner based at your destination:
There are no assumptions involved when it comes to choosing services at your destination because an experienced planner will already have a thoroughly vetted list for you to choose from when you're booking your venue, photography, hair and make-up, etc.
You'll pay for a lot less for planning time with an event coordinator who regularly works at your destination. There's no research required unless you've wanted to arrange something completely new. Unless your travel agency has spent significant time and planned several weddings at a destination, there's no possible way they'll have the same sort of inside information.
Local wedding planners know the best venues, attractions, activities, and accommodations to recommend to your guests.
A planner who works most of the time where you're getting married will have access to products and services that an out-of-town wedding planner will not.
Because they've probably planned multiple events at your specific venue, they know from experience all the potential ups and downs of each supplier.
They'll be able to take one look at the "inspiration pics" you've sent them via Pinterest and tell you if what you have in mind is even possible at your venue.
Event planners experienced with your destination know all the ins and outs of securing permits to get married on a particular landscape, the rules of having a campfire, and how to go about getting permission for a ceremony at unusual settings.
While an experienced travel consultant can certainly do the research and figure these things out, they're going to spend a lot of your time and money getting the answers to those questions.
