Did you visit your destination before your wedding?

[tristanc]

I am thinking of having my DW at Club Med Sandpiper in Florida. My question is - how many of you have visited your destination of choice prior to your wedding or before even booking? We aren't sure if it is in our budget to take a trip down there before our wedding - but I feel like I am going in blind.

 

I would love to hear from anyone who visited first and those who didn't. Things I should know, etc etc.

 

Thank you!

I HAVE NOT visited my reception nor do I have the time or money to prior to the wedding, however, we are leaving August 12 & the wedding ins Aug 17, so my dad might plan a tasting (though it's still too late to change anything)

 

BUT

 

I have been to Hawaii (my general location) many times. & I have stayed at the hotel 2-3 times. I'm going by reviews & suggestions, pictures & my gut.

 

 

I think if you could go, even for a day, go. If there's a way to get overtime or pick an extra shift you should. I know I'm stressed about it as is & feeling blind is making things worse, however it's a DW, so even some of the bad  things I have thought of, that may happen, my other events & things going on will make up for it!

 

Make the best of the situation. Have little back ups. 

 

GOOD LUCK

We vacationed at our resort two years before we were engaged, when we left we knew that was the place we wanted to get married when the time was right - we will be getting married 11/17/13 at IBEROSTAR Rose Hall Suites in Montego Bay, Jamaica! Yah Mon!
