The first decision
The venue isn't the first decision.
A beautiful venue can look perfect online. But destination weddings are more than one day.
- Where will your guests stay?
- How difficult is it to get there?
- What will everyone do for three or four days?
- Is the destination right for your parents and children?
- Does it feel authentic or resort-like?
- And what will the entire experience actually cost?
Start with the place. Then choose the venue.

Getting your guests to Greece
Which US hubs actually connect well, and why one connection changes attendance.

The transfer after the flight is the part couples underestimate.
What does it actually cost?

Older guests and children
Cobbles, steep villages, long drives and what to do about them.
Resort vs town vs private villa
Three completely different weekends, and three different amounts of work.
