Well, this sure makes life easier. Here are our tips on what to do next.

Check the local tourism website to see when any special events are happening in the region. Over busier periods, accommodation might be booked well in advance and resources like taxis, babysitters, hire companies etc. might be limited.
Ensure there’s enough local accommodation around to be able to sleep all of your guests.
Start searching for wedding venues in your preferred region. More on this in the next chapter.

For better or worse, the world’s your oyster! Here are some things that might help with your decision making:

Think about proximity to where you guys live. Decide how far you’re comfortable getting your guests to travel for your wedding. If you’re keen on a local wedding, this isn’t a worry but for any locations further than an hour away, your wedding probably won’t be a day trip – rather an overnight stay or weekender for your guests.
If you’re keen on the idea of a destination wedding, consider what activities are available for guests to partake in the day before and/or after the wedding. Getting married in a location where there are cafes, shops, wineries, pubs, spas, golf clubs and beaches nearby will allow you to create a full weekend experience for your guests.
Keep in mind that locations that are popular for weddings will often have a great community of local vendors and small businesses that can help bring your wedding together. The more remote the location, the smaller the pool of local vendors is likely to be. This isn’t a deal-breaker – rather, something to factor into your budget as it’s likely you’ll need to pay more in travel (and possibly accommodation) fees for the team you bring in.
What’s on for the coming weekends? Nothing? It’s time to hit the road then. There’s no better way to get a feel for a region than to visit. An excuse for a romantic weekender? You saw straight through us. But it’s all in the name of research, right? Start browsing hundreds of unique wedding spaces, right here.
