N

ow that you’re rocking the ring, it’s

time to assemble your personal

team of wedding pros.

First things first: Hire a planner. No

matter how organized or detailed you are,

a wedding planner will pay for herself —

from the money she’ll save you by knowing

the best vendors to the stress she’ll allevi-

ate from day one. Destination planners

know the terrain, speak the language and

can navigate your locale’s culture.

Choosing the right photographer is

also key: Once your big day is over, your

photos will be the most valued keepsakes to

remind you of your experience in paradise.

Here are vendors seasoned in planning

from afar — find the right one so you can

get hitched without a hitch.

Having a team of professionals ensures your big day is stress-free.
