2. Prepare For A Language Barrier

If you select a destination where the native language is different from yours, prepare for the language barrier. As a bride, trying to communicate your dream wedding to vendors who don’t speak your language can be a challenge and sometimes frustrating for both parties trying to understand each other.

You can avoid language barriers by learning the language, hiring a translator, or ensuring the selected venue has fluent speakers of your native tongue. I hired a wedding planner based in Mexico to help me navigate these language barriers and execute my wedding vision.

However, language comprehension became a huge challenge for my guests trying to communicate their needs to the resort staff. Frustrated guests complaining to me about the miscommunication became an ongoing issue, which I was unable to help resolve.
