Fantastic Book!!!
This book is GREAT! It gave me a ton of great ideas and advice on how to plan a successful destination wedding. I've received a lot of positive feedback from my invited guests on every bit of advice I implemented. Things like adding some local currency in the save-the-dates and presenting the wedding as a organized and professional dream vacation have helped more guests commit to attending. There are so many great tips, ideas, and options. I've read three other books on Destination Weddings, but this is the only book you'll need. Kudos to The Knot, they've done it again!

A good resource
This book was not as detailed as some of the more generic wedding planning books, but it does a great job addressing issues unique to planning a destination wedding. The layout makes it very easy to use. The pictures are great too!

Book Review
It is ok, but different than I thought. It seems to cater to those have BIG destination weddings rather than a simple one with close friends and family. I wish it had more simple ideas.
