Destination weddings are all about bringing your family and friends together to celebrate your wedding in a unique location. Weddings held away from your hometown can be much more intimate and relaxed. You spend more time together because you are staying in the same location without the obligations of work and home. Tucson, Arizona is an ideal location for a destination wedding. It has many romantic settings, great weather, and is rich in culture and hosts a variety of activities.
Searching for your wedding site is a lot like sightseeing on a vacation. You need to explore all of best venues, like Hacienda del Sol, The Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain, Skyline Country Club, or Tanque Verde Guest Ranch, before you can choose your favorite. Then narrow your search by what you envision your wedding to look like. You want to make your destination is a fun adventure for you and all of your guests.
Once you have chosen your venue, there are many important questions to ask. First, look at the logistics. Does the venue have enough space to accommodate your ceremony and reception? What is the back up plan if it rains and your site is outside? Will there be other weddings on the same day, and at the same time? Is there a wedding package that includes tables, chairs, linens, and other items along with your food and beverage? Ask to see photos of all the “house” items that are complimentary. If you have an experienced planner like Rackel Gehlsen, all of these questions will already be answered for you.
Most venues have a preferred vendor list of wedding professionals they like to use, or that are allowed on property. Obtaining this list will save you so much time in securing your “dream team.” Tucson has many talented vendors, and Rackel will help you choose the perfect team for your budget and vision. Selecting a seasoned team ensures that your wedding will go smoothly, and they will take great care of you while working together.
