Planning a destination wedding is a dream for many couples, but making that dream a reality involves a lot more than booking a venue and hopping on a flight. When you're planning a South Asian destination wedding, the stakes are even higher. You're coordinating multi-day events, cultural traditions, hundreds of guests, and complex travel logistics—all from afar.
This is where the power of having both a wedding planner and a travel agency comes in. At Destawed, we’re proud to offer both under one roof—because we know firsthand how crucial this combination is to creating a flawless, stress-free wedding experience for South Asian couples planning abroad.
Here’s why you need both—and why having a team that handles everything is the smartest decision you’ll make.
Unlike a traditional one-day event, South Asian weddings span several days, each filled with unique traditions, styling, entertainment, and food. Whether you’re organizing a welcome party, Mehndi, Sangeet, main ceremony, or reception, each event requires its setup, flow, and timeline.
Why a Planner Matters: A dedicated South Asian destination wedding planner ensures every event is cohesive, culturally appropriate, and seamlessly managed—from decor and music to vendors and timelines.
Why Travel Support Matters: Guests need clear travel instructions, accommodations for the entire celebration, and downtime between events. A travel team ensures your group arrives on time, rested, and ready to celebrate every moment with you.
It’s not just about booking your honeymoon suite—you're helping hundreds of guests get to a foreign country. Some may need help with passports or visas, others with group flights or mobility needs.
Our in-house Account Managers organize:
When travel is managed by the same team as your wedding planning, there are no gaps in communication, and guests feel taken care of from the minute they RSVP.
Many beautiful resorts offer wedding packages, but they often don’t understand the scale, flow, or details of a South Asian wedding. That’s where your planner becomes your cultural advocate.
Our planners communicate directly with resort staff, ensuring your cultural needs—like fire for ceremonies, outdoor Baraats, or custom menus—are respected and executed properly.
From decor and DJs to stylists and photographers, destination weddings often require flying in or sourcing vendors who understand South Asian culture. Choosing the wrong ones can derail your wedding experience.
We only work with vetted, experienced vendors who specialize in South Asian destination weddings—whether they're from the local country or flown in from abroad.
Meanwhile, our travel team ensures these vendors arrive on time, have the right accommodations, and are logistically supported.
Too often, couples and their families become overwhelmed by managing the wedding instead of enjoying it. And during a destination celebration, the stress multiplies: flight delays, lost luggage, scheduling issues… it all falls to the couple unless there’s a professional team handling it.
Our Role: Destawed takes all the responsibility off your shoulders. Our planners manage timelines, setups, and vendors on-site, while our travel team handles flights, room issues, and guest concerns. Your family gets to relax and be present, just as they should be.
What if a storm delays travel? A vendor cancels last minute? A guest loses their passport? These things happen—and when they do, the last thing you want is to be the one solving it.
Why Dual Expertise Matters: With a planning and travel team combined, we're able to respond quickly and flexibly. We re-route guests, adjust itineraries, source backup vendors, and handle emergencies—all while keeping your celebration on track.
Trying to coordinate your destination wedding through countless phone calls, emails, and third-party platforms can drain your time and energy. And when wedding planning and travel are handled separately, it often leads to:
At its core, your wedding should be about joy, love, and celebration, not stress and logistics. By trusting a single, experienced team to manage both travel and planning, you protect your peace of mind and set the tone for a celebration that everyone will remember.
Your wedding deserves to be everything you’ve dreamed of—and more. Let Destawed take care of the planning and the travel, so you can focus on the magic.
