Planning the perfect date for a destination wedding starts well in advance.
What’s nice about a Destination Wedding is that you don’t necessarily have to have it on a weekend (Fri-Sun). You have more flexibility so you can pick any day you want! Here is a list of fun 2021 wedding dates to help you pick a date that will be easy to remember, yet fun!
Long weekends
To save yours and your guest’s PTO, you can have you wedding on a long weekend when there is a holiday.
UPDATED APRIL 24, 2020: 2021 wedding dates are filling up REAL fast due to 2020 weddings being postponed to 2021 because of COVID-19. I can help you find the resorts with 2021 available dates over a weekend. You can schedule a call with me to discuss all details and get the wedding planning

(* Major Holiday)
Keep in mind
Any time you travel around major holidays expect the rates to be almost triple what you would normally pay during other times of the year. If you don’t have the flexibility of going any time of the year, then I recommend booking at least 18 months prior to lock in your wedding date and secure the lower room rates. You can always add air once it’s available, still know it will be higher than normal.
Now that you have a possible date in mind, there are 4 ways to get started – check out my destination wedding planning guide. My last blog post explains why you’ll want to decide on the guest list, the destination, the budget and have a good idea of your wedding plans before talking with an expert.
