How to Get Married Abroad

Your step by step guide to getting married abroad.

So this is where your journey begins…let’s start planning your wedding abroad!

Weddings Abroad Guide Steps-by-Step Guide for Getting Married Abroad

Initially the prospect of planning a wedding abroad may appear slightly daunting and there may be times along the way when you wonder what you’re getting yourselves into! I can’t promise it will all be smooth sailing but I know from personal experience it’s not nearly as difficult to get married abroad as you may first believe.

With a little bit of research and careful planning you will be able to create a wedding that is unique, a wedding that is distinctive, a wedding that surpasses all your expectations and is talked about and remembered by your guests for years to come.

When getting married abroad, your wedding often becomes more than just one day. Many couples make the most of having all their guests in the one location and carry their wedding celebrations over a number of days.

As a result extra work is often required to plan these additional celebrations but this does give you the added bonus of your wedding not being over in the blink of an eye. You may also find the additional celebrations are just as memorable as your wedding day itself.

Below I’ve broken the planning process into logical groups…there is a lot of information included in each section but I recommend taking a little time to reading through each.  I hope it will provide you with a great starting point to confidentially and calmly plan your wedding abroad.

If you ready to start planning, but don’t know how – join our Wedding Abroad Planning Club.
