I once had a couple who wanted a breathtaking beach wedding in the Maldives but completely forgot to confirm the hotel location. They ended up checking in at a resort two hours away! You can only imagine their panic when they realized they were late for their own ceremony. We managed to pull it together, but it definitely gave me a few extra gray hairs. Anyone else have wild destination wedding stories?
Been there! I once had a couple who thought they could just ‘wing it’ without a timeline. After their hair and makeup ran late, they ended up rushing under a beautiful arch just before sunset.
It’s wild how easily logistics can go sideways! I’ve learned the hard way that having a backup coordinator on-site can save the day, especially if things get messy with timing — like your couple’s last-minute hotel scramble… A simple group chat with everyone involved can also help keep everyone in sync, just in case.
