10 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Planned A Destination Wedding - Page 4

4. The Newer The Resort, The Better… But Prepare For Bad Customer Service

If you’re inviting guests to a destination wedding, you want to give them the best experience. For my guests, I knew I needed a brand-new resort that was modern, clean, and had excellent cuisine. During my research, I learned that the newer the resorts, the better the experience, because they’ll offer you more promotions and discounts, so you’ll lock in your big day with them.

However with all pros come cons, because although the resort met our needs, there were a lot of issues on the backend with the resort’s logistics and customer service. It was obvious the resort staff was still learning the ropes of the business, with many questions going unanswered, or not used to working with an influx of guests. So, although everything else was amazing, prepare for hiccups. Just like any new business, everything isn’t going to run smoothly in the beginning.
