Australia’s go-to wedding-planning website, Easy Weddings is taking the hassle away from planning weddings overseas, launching the nation’s first Destination Weddings concierge service.
Gone are the days of needing to travel back and forth to another country, managing different languages across time zones dealing with suppliers. The wedding and travel experts at Easy Weddings can do all that for you, making overseas wedding planning a breeze! They have listened to what Aussie couples want, and are extending their planning services for couples dreaming of an overseas ‘I do’. With the team’s help, Australians can now plan a destination wedding from the comfort of their home.
Before booking her dream wedding spot on the Greek Island of Corfu, social media influencer and winner of Love Island Australia Season 2, Anna McEvoy, hadn’t even been there.
Anna said: “We locked in the venue without visiting it in person which was kind of terrifying because we didn’t know if the pictures were accurate. Going through the destination wedding process and having a professional provide insight is so important when you’re spending so much money.”
The celebrity bride and her fiance Michael Staples are deep in planning mode, ahead of their May nuptials. Their worries are common to thousands of Aussie couples each year planning their wedding abroad.
“Easy Weddings is an obvious solution to the chaos of planning a destination wedding. They make it less stressful and the process is enjoyable, which is exactly what we want our wedding to be,” she said.
“One of the best things about Easy Weddings is that they have relationships with overseas resorts and suppliers, and local travel knowledge. They know the ins and outs – from travel requirements to local customs, even the best beaches. They can provide the entire wedding package for you, booking the venue, florist, photographer, hair and makeup — or anything else — rather than you having to do all of the nitty-gritty research,” Anna added.
All venues, photographers, florists, caters and suppliers are vetted, reviewed and researched by the Easy Weddings team, with packages available at a range of prices and additional service add-ons to choose from.
Easy Weddings CEO and Founder, Matt Butterworth said: “We have had thousands of requests for destination weddings, so we’re excited to launch this tailored service designed specifically for Aussie couples. The Easy Weddings team will coordinate all the details, so couples can enjoy a relaxed overseas wedding experience, staying within budget and saving time.”
“We’ve launched our Destination Weddings service for Bali, Thailand, and Fiji weddings because they are some of the most popular hot spots for overseas weddings. We will soon be branching out to Europe, which is so exciting! And if couples have another destination in mind, we can facilitate that too,” he added.
Prices for packages are in AUD and include all foreign taxes, so couples won’t be surprised by any hidden costs. All-inclusive Fiji wedding packages start from $10,359 for 20 guests; a wedding in Thailand starts from $11,802, and a Bali wedding starts from $12,872 — with a range of trusted and verified resorts and suppliers to choose from as well as options to add services on.
To celebrate the launch of Destination Weddings, Easy Weddings is giving away $40,000 in prizes. Head to https://www.easyweddings.com.au/destination-weddings/giveaway/ to enter the Getaway Giveaway competition.
