There is nothing in the world like a destination wedding. Just think about it, saying I do in some exotic location or paradise is like a dream come true. But while this is an amazing idea, there is a lot of planning that needs to be done and that is just something that you need to not only be aware of, but ready to tackle. There are numerous details to be taken care of and our suggestion is that you look for professional help and not try and make it all happen yourself. There are people who do this kind of planning and setup for a living. Ask yourself this question: do you really want to spend endless hours trying to obtain the information you need as well as the best deals on flights and hotels and venues. And keep in mind that all of these details are not being taken care of for the city or town where you live but in a remote location. That makes things even harder. So, what are we saying? Hand over the reigns to someone else who knows how to manipulate the system like you need it to be. Let those details to a professional while you concentrate on other arenas related to your wedding. A professional travel agency is the only way to go and in the end you will be very happy that you did. The Toledo area has some amazing professional travel agencies to consider. What this leaves for you is the task of finding the perfect fit for you. We urge you to heed the words in this guide and we firmly believe that it will lead you to the travel agency for your big day.

Of course before you can hire an agency you need to find some candidates that are worthy of being considered to plan your destination wedding. We believe in testimonials. Start asking around, ask your family, friends and coworkers about whether they have ever been to or had a destination wedding. This kind of first hand account is invaluable. If they worked with a travel agency, make sure you get all the contact information. Also, check that when you Google “travel agencies in Toledo” it should provide some options to check out. Check out the websites of each agency and read the testimonials and especially read about their experience. Your wedding vendors are another potential source. Usually, vendors that have been around the industry any period of time know others vendors and there is a very good chance they could have a suggestion or two for you. Once you have a list of at least three travel agencies to check into, call each one and setup a time to interview them about potentially servicing your wedding plans.

Each interview is a very important time to evaluate which agency is going best serve your wedding needs. Always keep in mind during this process how important it is to hire the right agency. The last thing you want on your hands is a disaster. The agency you choose should be able to help you with location and all of your options at specific locations. You need to have a discussion about whether this is going to be an all adult wedding or if kids will be allowed. Many resorts are adult only. Also, let each candidate know if you are going to be paying for everything or are your guests going to be chipping in for certain aspects of their stay. Have them tell you about a few destination weddings they have planned. How long have they been in business? Make sure they can provide you with at least three references. When they do, contact each one and talk to them about their experience. What group sizes have they planned destination wedding for? Are they certified? Are they insured? This information goes to credibility and covering you if something were to go wrong. Do they charge a specific and separate fee or do they earn their money via the services they reserve for you. We recommend looking for someone who is paid via the suppliers of the various services they will be reserving for you and for your guests. What payment options do they offer? Do you have to book a block of rooms for your entire group or will your guests have options. Once you have finished all of your interviews, sit down and consider each candidate side by side. One should emerge as the one that provides the most in terms of the planning and of course should fit within your price range. Just be sure to hire an agency that you feel confidence in because your destination wedding depends on it.
