It didn't go into details about hiring vendors April 6, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I wish this book would have went into more details about hiring vendors for destination weddings as many brides have a preference on the type of video or photography they want for their wedding.
Hiring wedding vendors for a destination wedding is like a box of chocolates, "You never know what you're gonna get!" After you leave the wedding location, depending on the culture, you may not receive your video for a very long time or at all. To guarantee good cinematic services, take your videographer with you. Seriously!
You can affordably do this by adding an additional room to your hotel reservations for both the photographer and videographer to share, assuming they are both the same sex. Most hotels will offer the bride and groom one additional room for every 10 rooms they book for their guests. Inquire with your hotel for this option. Most videographers will shoot your wedding for little or no additional costs as long as the couple pays for the airfare and hotel accommodations. I wish the author would have hit on this a bit more.

 Perfect travel book for weddings and beyond!! March 15, 2007
I love this book! It's not only great for planning a wedding but gives great suggestions for honeymoon destinations or just a great vacation for any special occasion. I picked this book up in the store and couldn't put it down. It gives excellent tips and suggestions on planning your destination wedding from start to finish. It includes time charts, checklists and literally does not miss one step along the way. SO USEFUL! This book is so great! The only problem is trying to pick which amazing destination to settle on!
Very highly recommended. January 6, 2007
A 'destination wedding' is something special: an opportunity for both bride and groom to travel to another locale to wed - anywhere in the world. Use DESTINATION BRIDE: A COMPLETE GUIDE TO PLANNING YOUR WEDDING ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD as the stepping stone to achieving a smooth non-local wedding. Chapters touch upon all the basics; from communicating with guests and organizing the ceremony to choosing the right location, researching its resources, and making travel arrangements for guests and family. But there's more than generalities about weddings on the go: final sections cover the specifics of countries around the world from Africa and Asia to Europe, and include specific recommendations for places which lend to weddings and establishments which cater to them. Very highly recommended.

 Not all that helpful July 19, 2006

I was hoping this book would have more to offer. Its a fun read to look at all the various travel locations, but it didn't offer much at all in terms of helpful advice. It's more like a travel book than anything else and it actually caters more to readers in a high income bracket than to the average bride looking to plan a wedding her guests could reasonably attend.

Have you ever opened a book only to find that only a few of its pages pertain to you? Only about 115 pages or so of this book have valuable information; the remaining 250 or so pages discuss various destinations and resort suggestions in each one. If you are planning a wedding in, for instance, the Bahamas, you'll find there are only three and a half pages which discuss the Bahamas. At the same time, none of the information is new - all of it is information the resourceful bride can glean online - for free.
Of the useful information, the author covers the planning process, but again, none of this information seemed more than common sense (make sure you have internet access and a cell plan with good international rates). As someone else noted, many of the web addresses were incorrect.
Not a bad book by any means, but not as useful as I was hoping it would be.
