Destination wedding

carolinehong

Please help me.  I have been engaged since July 09 and haven't started planning the wedding.  I can't seem to find the "perfect destination"  I have family in CA, TX and MI. My fiance's family is all in MI.  We live in Oregon.  I would love to do an Hawaii weding... but worried about costs.. esp if we think at least 100 may attend.  Any ideas?

I'm from Michigan and am doing a destination wedding in Charlevoix, MI. It's very far north, and on Lake Michigan, it is a very beutiful beach city. There is a great venue there called Castle Farms, I'm getting married there. It's not everyone's style but my fiance and I love it! You can get more information from the website castlefarms.com

Hope this helps!

Are you nature lovers? If so, is there a national park you are in love with? This is how we chose. All but 2 of our guests don't live in our state so it was an opportunity to choose any venue anywhere, guilt-free. We chose Yosemite. State parks are cheap to get married in. $150 to secure our ceremony site.

His family is mostly in California (half here in SoCal, half up near Yosemite) and mine is in WA, AZ, CO, SD, and FL, and that's just immediate family.  We decided to do the wedding in Vegas, because it was equally inconvenient for everyone and had tons of options for hotel for the guests.  Everyone had a lot of fun, and a lot of our guests who hadn't been there in many years are all talking about how they want to go back soon to see more of the city.

If you're worried about people being able to afford Hawaii, you might look at other beaches, especially in Florida or one of the US-owned Caribbean islands to see if flights and hotel might be cheaper for your guests.
