How to Plan a Stress Free Destination Wedding in Destin Florida

Published on March 30, 2016 On Weddings at the Henderson Park Inn

Planning a destination wedding in Destin Florida doesn’t have to be stressful! When you make the right choices, the entire process can be easy and fun. To help you get the ball rolling, the Henderson Park Inn has put together some helpful destination wedding planning tips.

Rely on a Wedding Planner You Can Trust

Planning a wedding away from home can present some unique challenges, because you probably aren’t familiar with Destin’s best photographers, caterers, videographers, etc. Instead of spending countless hours researching local vendors, let a wedding planner help you. Our planners have years of experience and can help you choose the right vendors for your budget and needs. Having a steady hand to guide you through the wedding planning process will make everything so much easier.

If Possible, Take a Pre-Wedding Trip to Destin

If you’ve never been to Destin before, you may want to spend a weekend on the Emerald Coast before your wedding. This will give you a chance to see the various wedding venues offered at the Henderson Park Inn in person, and to get some face time with your wedding planner and vendors. However, if it isn’t feasible for you to make it down before the big day, that is perfectly fine! Our staff is always happy to take photos or videos for you, which can be almost as good as being there yourself.

Give Guests as Much Notice as PossibleA wedding reception at the Henderson Park Inn.

When your guests aren’t stressed, you won’t be stressed either! In that spirit, we suggest mailing out “save the date” cards and official invitations as early as possible. Deciding to attend a destination wedding in Destin Florida can be a big commitment, so it is only fair that you give your guests ample time to deliberate. Also, be sure to take the logistics of your wedding venue into account as you make your guest list. You don’t want to invite more guests than your event site can accommodate!

Make a Wedding Website

Destination weddings can prompt a lot of questions from your guests about where to stay, directions to the venue, and a host of other topics. Rather than responding to each query, save some time by creating a website with all of the information your guests will need. The Knot is a popular provider of free wedding websites that you can easily customize and update.

Plan Events for the Whole Weekend

When all of your friends and family come to Destin for your wedding, it’s nice to provide them with some activities during the days leading up to the main event. Some great options include taking a cruise around Destin Harbor, playing 18 holes at the Regatta Bay Golf Club, or dining at the Beach Walk Cafe. Giving your guests some sort of welcome basket or gift is also an excellent way to make everyone feel at home.
