Planning your big day is super stressful. Whether you are working in the UK or have emigrated Down Under, spending your special day with your nearest and dearest is of the utmost importance for many couples. Choosing the perfect venue with a trusted wedding team is a must to banish your stress and help you enjoy your pre-wedding celebrations. Here’s how to plan your wedding at home from abroad thanks to Tattersalls Country House.
Allocate A Point Of Contact
If a trip home to attend wedding fairs and scope out venues is out of the question, it’s always wise to delegate one family member as your go-to contact in the event of a crisis. If there are urgent details which need to be discussed, speaking face-to-face will be much faster than liaising via email – especially when there is a large time difference to work around.
Tattersalls Country House are delighted to meet with some of your family members in your absence. Researching venues online isn’t the same as viewing it in the flesh. If you are having a tough task narrowing down potential contenders, sending a relation to experience what the property has to offer first-hand is a fabulous alternative. This way you get a valued second opinion and they can take note of observations which may not be visible on the world wide web.
Stay Connected
FaceTime and Skype are about to become your new besties. Staying connected with your wedding coordinator and venue is THE most important aspect to successfully plan your wedding at home from abroad. These online tools are essential forms of communication when planning the smaller details from the other side of the world.
Tattersalls Country House have become specialists in offering the utmost care and attention ahead of your arrival home. From the very beginning where you can arrange a Skype viewing of each room in real-time, to regular email updates and calls with the Wedding Manager, the process with Tattersalls Country House will seem easy peasy. They even offer online payment options! That’s another worry crossed off your wedding to-do list.
Use Trusted Local Suppliers
Play it safe when it comes to booking suppliers for your celebration. A flaky supplier who has had minimal contact with you and backs out with only weeks to go, can be devastating. The whole wedding will be thrown into chaos and you may be left with a less-desirable contractor who you would not have originally chosen. Don’t be afraid to ask your Wedding Manager for advice on other areas of your wedding day. Tattersalls Country House has built a reputable relationship from working closely with local suppliers such as florists, photographers and hairdressers for a number of years. They will work with your vendors to ensure your exact requirements are delivered and will have testimonials from other couples from abroad to ease your mind.
Research Options For Guests Travelling From Abroad
Don’t forget your pals who are excited to make the journey home to join in the celebrating! For some of them, it may be their first trip to Ireland and they will appreciate any information and travel tips shared. If you are unsure, ask your wedding venue to put together a list of accommodation suggestions, directions and nearby transport links. Add these to your wedding invitations and everyone is sure to get to their destination safe and sound.
Be Super Organised
If your partner is not from Ireland, prioritize any documentation which may be needed for different nationalities or faith ceremonies. This will allow you plenty of time to work through any issues that may slow down the process. Your wedding is the most memorable day of your lives and after your lengthy journey home, it will be nice to relax and enjoy your time with family and friends. During the early days of planning, Tattersalls Country House will be on-hand with advice and assistance on Irish legal requirements plus a countdown of important jobs during the final hurdle. This will help avoid any last-minute disasters, ensuring your journey to the altar is as smooth and seamless as possible. They will also happily share recommendations on local churches or if you are opting for a civil ceremony, they are fully licensed to hold your nuptials on-site.
