Planning a destination wedding during the pandemic means that we have to be ready with any uncertainty that might happen. When you decide to have it, you might need a more detailed preparation. You should, at least, make sure your weddings comply with the local government’s regulation. On top of that, there is a huge possibility of rescheduling your event.
What is a destination wedding?
Destination wedding is when your wedding takes place outside your region. It might take hours to go to your wedding venue. So, it requires you to have an accommodation for a night or two. Pandemic can somehow complicate the preparation. You have to be ready with any sudden warning such as border close or lockdown. Thus, we share what might help you saving your weddings.

Stay within your state or territory
Now, there is a regulation to quarantine for 2 weeks in a hotel when arriving from different state. And it will cost you much. To save some budget and time, it would be perfect if you can tie the knot in the same state to territory. Each state has a lot to offer. Sydney for example, it is over 2 hours away to Newcastle, a beautiful region for having a wedding. While, Inglewood can be a your destination wedding venue for those from Melbourne.

In case you have to delay or cancel your wedding due to some factors, such as lockdown, you have to know what to do. Discuss with the vendors any possible issue that might happen during the pandemic.

Cooperative accommodation near your destination wedding venue
Is there any cancelation fee for cancelling or postpone the accommodation for your destination wedding guests? How will be the procedure if the government issue a lockdown warning? Also, make sure you ask the details about the health protocols application there too.
