Weddings and honeymoons - when to travel

   
 
 

 

Why a Summer wedding or honeymoon in an exotic destination may NOT be the ideal solution.

There is nothing is more traditional than a June wedding, but if you are considering a beach ceremony in the Grenadines, then January would be a much better time to go.

After all, no one wants their big day torn apart by a tropical storm, yet surprisingly many couples still hanker after the Caribbean in August at the height of the hurricane season!

To avoid disasters and make sure you catch the best weather on your honeymoon, opposite are some winning selections.

 

Top Tips

 
• As soon as you have set your wedding date and chosen your honeymoon destination book as early as possible to avoid disappointment, especially if you are getting married during a peak holiday season such as July/August or Christmas and New Year.

 
• Ask for Special Honeymoon Offers - complimentary offers add great value to your honeymoon and help make it feel extra special for you both. You can enjoy such things as fruit and flowers in your room on arrival, candlelit dinners and room upgrades, complimentary massages or even discounts of up to £1750 for stays of two weeks in some hotels.


• Vouchers - Why not ask friends and family to give you holiday vouchers as wedding presents towards the cost of your travel, so you can really have a honeymoon to remember. At Global Holidays we can offer your guests the option to do this -contact us for more information on how to purchase them.


• Passport name change - if you are going to change your passport into your married name make sure that all documents and booking details are all in the same name and not a mixture of maiden and married name as this could result in refusal entry into the country. If you do change your passport make sure you allow plenty of time to send off all the documents and allow enough time for it to be sent off.


• Days of flying - some destinations can only be reached on certain days due to airline schedules so be aware that you may need to be flexible when organizing your travel arrangements especially if you want to travel the day after your wedding. Look for destinations that offer days of departure to fit into your schedule.


• Take your honeymoon later.  Most of the honeymoon deals offered by hotels and tour operators are generally still valid for up to 6 months after your wedding. By deferring your honeymoon until after the peak travel period you can take advantage of discounts and cheaper air travel, avoid the crowds and enjoy the best weather. Just make sure to pack your marriage certificate!
