There’s been an increase in the number of couples choosing to get married abroad. According to Kuoni, there are now 14% more brides and grooms opting to get hitched overseas than there were several years ago. In addition, Hitched reports that the average number of guests for a destination wedding is between 10 and 15 – well below the number who attend weddings in the UK. This is, of course, how many couples prefer it to be. However, there’s no need to fear about people skipping your big day just because you’re getting married overseas. Let’s look at three ways to entice your friends and family abroad for your wedding.
As well as being picturesque, your wedding venue should ideally be one that doubles up as your accommodation. This won’t just keep your wedding party in one place, but will also make it easier for people who are worried about finding their own accommodation to stay in. France’s magnificent Château de la Cazine, for example, has 19 beautiful rooms for guests to sleep in after enjoying your fairy tale wedding.
It’s best not to overwhelm guests with the prospect of a strenuous journey. After all, there are plenty of destinations that are easily accessible despite being abroad. If you choose to get married in France, you will give people the option of a manageable flight length or even the ability to drive should they not want to fly.
Always be sure to offer guests an experience that is different from what they can get at home. Let’s take the weather. In Noth in France, it’s typically a warmer and more pleasant climate than it is in the UK (without being too overbearing). This should be enough to tempt people away from their homes due to the prospect of enjoying a sun-soaked wedding without having to worry that the temperature will be a shock to their system.
You’ll find that your guests don’t need their arms twisting when they discover that you’ll be tying the knot in the stunning Château de la Cazine in France. If you’re keen to book this awe-inspiring venue for your special day, be sure to get in touch with Last Minute Luxury Wedding.
