Is it any wonder people hire wedding planners? The whole process is huge, complex and, frankly, stressful. However, it is not a futile challenge if you approach it on your own. With a little bravery and a lot of research, you can achieve the destination wedding you have in mind in sunny Key West, Florida without a wedding planner. There are a few general guidelines, tips and tricks to keep in mind that can help you flesh out your booking decisions. For example, restaurant review websites like Urban Spoon can help you suss out the cafe that serves the best crab cakes or best key lime pie on the island (though, this may involve some taste testing as well!), helping you narrow down where it is you will be booking a banquet room or outside catering. Similar sites exist when you are looking to book entertainment. Musicians, live bands and DJs all not only have personal listings and sites, but can be reviewed online as well.
Your island wedding already has a lot going for it if you plan to host in in Florida. The weather and new island cuisine are both huge draws to the region. A final tip to carry with you is this: Let this atmosphere work for you. No matter what theme you want your wedding to embody, there is a way to play with it in the context of tropicality…emphasizing sunshine and beautiful local flowers and plant life. Keeping this in mind can help you take full advantage of the context of your destination wedding. Good luck!
