Alyssa and I delve into the trends we've previously discussed in our episode "2023 Trends and Predictions for 2024" to see if these trends are destination wedding specific, or if they transcend across all weddings.

We also get a little sneak peak into what I'll be talking about on Alyssa's podcast - the cost of a destination wedding!

Planning a destination wedding can be an exciting adventure, but it also comes with its own set of challenges and considerations. As I've said in the past, there just aren’t as many resources out there for a destination wedding, so a lot of couples are left trying to fill in the gaps of planning by creating a sort of hodgepodge of tools they’ve gotten from social media, their travel agent, or other random sources.

So in today's episode we're going to talk all about the do’s and don’ts of planning a destination wedding. We go over essential tips for couples planning a destination wedding, including budgeting, legal requirements, guest accommodations, and communication with vendors.

Joining on this episode is Kristen McNatt, one of the newest agents that's apart of #TeamBAI, but also a former destination wedding bride who has firsthand experience with planning her own wedding.
