When it comes to planning your honeymoon, there are advantages of working with a travel agent. Travel agents offer travel experience, have insider discounts, offer package deals, itinerary options, and offer air, car and hotel reservations. If problems occur, they will be your advocate. Furthermore, while you are busy preparing for your outdoor wedding venues in Dallas, a travel agent will handle the details of the honeymoon.

Before beginning the search for a honeymoon travel agent, decide the type of trip the two of you are interested in, and the budget. The more specific you can be with the preferred honeymoon destination and activities, the better an agent will be able to serve you.

Good agents will be courteous and patient, ask questions, will be honest of the disadvantages, and have a genuine desire for clients’ feedback. He/she will present multiple options based on the information provided and your budget.

Agent Memberships

Search for an agent with membership in good standing with The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA). Agents pay a membership fee and ASTA investigates complaints, and revokes memberships when warranted. Visit the ASTA website to find an agency member in your location.

Other desirable agent certifications include:

CTC (Certified Travel Counselor) certification indicates they have completed an 18-month course, and have been in business for at least five years.

DS (Destination Specialist) credentials are for Africa, the Caribbean, China, Hawaii, Latin America, North America, the Pacific Rim, Western Europe, and special interest travel. DS credentials indicate the agent has visited the location for which they hold certification.

An agent who has visited the destination, provides valuable insight, and advice. Furthermore, they may have insider connections to book difficult-to-get-reservations and other perks for an extra special honeymoon, following your wedding in Paradise Cove’s outdoor wedding venues in Dallas.

Stick to Your Budget

Set a honeymoon budget and stick with it. A reputable agent recognizes it is to their advantage to provide outstanding service. It is also advisable to check reviews from prior clients. In addition, do not allow consultation fees to be upsetting. There are clients who consult a travel agent to obtain itineraries and book the trip themselves, leaving the agent with nothing for their time. Agents may waive the fees once you have booked the trip and purchased the tickets. However, an outstanding agent is well worth the extra cost!

Set Priorities

If the planned activities in the destination are of greater importance than a luxurious honeymoon suite, tell your agent who will book an enjoyable trip. In addition, if you are a member of a travel club, airline, hotel, car rental or other programs let the agent know as they may have an alliance with them, and you may be able to cash in on programs.

Travel Agents Specialize in Travel

Travel agents have access to special rates and discounts that are not available in online deals. When you book your outdoor wedding venues in Dallas, remember that you will need to contact an agent at least six months in advance of the honeymoon.

Know the Details

Feel free to ask your agent questions, such as airport connections, currency conversion, passports, and if there are government issued travel advisories or warnings for the destination. Ensure you obtain a phone number for the agent in the event of after-hours emergencies. If you have booked a luxurious room, and given a budget room, the agent can straighten it out.

Couples have many reasons for renewing wedding vows. You may be nearing your 10th, 25th, or 50th wedding anniversary. Perhaps the original wedding was less than ideal, or you may have made it through a rough time in your relationship. You may want the world to know you are committed to each other, or perhaps you want to keep the ceremony small with close family and friends. There is no wrong reason to renew your commitment to each other. Paradise Cove offers luxurious outdoor wedding venues in Dallas for couples young and old. We are committed to those just starting a life together, and those who want to renew their lifelong commitment to each other.

Because you are already married, some things are different. For example, you do not need a marriage license or a clergyman. You can simply state your vows, or a relative can read your vows. However, you can have the ceremony you desire, large or small in Paradise Cove’s outdoor wedding venues in Dallas.

There are few rules during the renewal ceremony for your outdoor wedding venues in Dallas.

Formal Invitations

The invitation is similar to a general wedding invitation, with the exception of there being no host at the top of the invitation. Mail the invitations at least two months prior to the ceremony. It should simply state the following for example:

Mr. and Mrs. John Doe (or Jane and Jon Doe) request the honor of your presence at the renewal (or reaffirmation) of the wedding vows…

However, if the children or grandchildren of the couple issue the invitation it could read, for example:

The children of Mr. and Mrs. John Doe (or Jane and John Doe) request the honor of your presence at the reaffirmation (or renewal) of the wedding vows of their parents…

Dress for a Wedding

If the bride is comfortable wearing the original wedding dress, wear it but omit the veil. A hat or even flowers in the hair can substitute for the veil. It is also perfectly acceptable to dress up in a formal evening gown, or a favorite cocktail dress. Perhaps the event is more of a garden party styled function than formal. Dress according to the style, and formality of the ceremony.

If the bride wears her original dress, the groom can wear the original tuxedo if it fits, or the military uniform. The groom can also wear a new suit for the celebration.

Attendants

Attendants are not necessary for a vow renewal, though it is acceptable to invite the original wedding party. A wedding party’s official position is as witnesses, and since you are already married, witnesses are not a requirement. They do not have to dress up, but it is acceptable if they do. A number of couples prefer to involve their children and grandchildren in the ceremony.

The Bridal Escort

The bride should not walk down the aisle alone. The couple may walk together, or a son or grandson can escort you.

The Ceremony

You can repeat the original vows, or write entirely new ones. New vows are common, where the two of you reveal what you mean to each other. Do not mention the hardships you have overcome, and do state what you mean to each other, and the future ahead. You will then exchange rings, and these can be the original rings, or new ones commemorating your renewal in our outdoor wedding venues in Dallas.

The Reception

A reception is part of the renewal ceremony, and can be formal or informal. Dancing and the wedding cake, delicious food, all of the benefits of a first time wedding are appropriate for the renewal reception. After all, a celebration is not complete without food in our beautiful setting by Lake Grapevine at our outdoor wedding venues in Dallas.

Photography

Definitely hire a photographer for your renewal vows, it will provide memories for you and your family for decades to come. Paradise Cove’s outdoor wedding venues in Dallas offer a number of lovely sites for stunning photography.

The Wedding Registry

A wedding registry is not appropriate for a vow renewal. If guests insist, request they donate to your favorite charity. Showers and gifts are for helping young couples just starting out to establish a household, and not for an established couple to upgrade furnishings.

However, if it is an official anniversary, such as your 25^th or 50^th wedding anniversary, you may register for gifts appropriate for an anniversary, and not a wedding.

Hosting a Vow Renewal

It is common practice to host your own ceremony and reception. Adult children and grandchildren can assist with the costs if they insist, otherwise etiquette demands you pay the costs yourself.

Select a Venue

Planning should begin 6 months to a year ahead of time. Once size and budget is decided, select the venue and book it.

Outdoor Wedding Considerations

When selecting a venue, consider the needs of handicapped guests. They need easy access, and ease of mobility. Travel time between the wedding venue and the reception is a factor to consider, and if the reception is an hour’s drive away, there may be guests unable to attend the reception. Additional tips include:

• Outdoor weddings require that food areas have proper cover and protection from wind and insects.
• If the wedding will continue into the evening, plan to provide lighting. When considering locations, borrowing or renting a generator may be necessary, to provide for the needs of lighting, the caterer, and the music.
• When a wedding venue is at a primitive site, visit during the same hours of the wedding, for an idea of what you will need to provide.

These situations highlight the convenience of using established outdoor wedding venues in Dallas. Paradise Cove takes care of the details, freeing you from the day-to-day attention required of a beautiful outdoor wedding.

Contingency Plans

When planning an outdoor wedding, it is essential to have a contingency plan in the event of inclement weather. Weather can change rapidly, forcing guests, vendors, musicians and others to seek shelter. When depending upon a wedding tent in a primitive site, you will need to arrange the rental in advance, and complete the set up in time for the wedding. It takes a number of persons and several hours to set them up.
