So, when our clients come to us to help them plan a destination affair, we are all in. We know the challenges that are faced during the planning process, and we are there to alleviate the stress and handle the issues all along the way. And we are excited about it!
So, how do you get started on the destination course? The first hurdle is the same as with any event: Decide on the guest list. It is vitally important to the locations and types of venues you will be sifting through to know not only how many people will be there, but who they are. Do your guests regularly travel? Do they have passports? Are they easily mobile? Do they have flexible schedules (Destinations by definition quite often take a little more travel time than the typical location)?
Are they adventurous or do you need something closer to civilization? Will your guests be expecting 5-star accommodations, or are their budgets decidedly tighter (camping anyone?)?
And, then you get to the question of how many will be joining you at this location. Are you having a small get-away for 20 guests in a Tuscan Villa or looking for a semi-formal wedding at a caribbean resort for 75?
You will be inviting 100 people, but of those people, how many are likely to make the trip?
Guest list is so very important in event planning, but even more so when everyone will be travelling for your event.. This is all a lot to consider, but that is why we are here to help! Let's get started planning yours today.
