Questions about your wedding

Your Kenwood Travel wedding specialist is available every step of the way to ensure your wedding day goes off without a hitch. Whether it’s arranging legal requirements, or tricky things like how to pack your wedding dress for the flight, we know the questions that are important to you. We’ve answered some of these questions below, but for anything else we’re just a phone call away. With our 49-year track record arranging destination weddings, nothing is a problem. Our first-hand knowledge of hotels and the great relationships we have with in-resort wedding coordinators means you can rest assured that we have everything under control. Our aim is to make booking your wedding hassle-free and fun.

Will my wedding abroad be legal in the UK?

Yes, it will be legal under British Law, and you do not have to register it when you get back to the UK. Your wedding ceremony will be non-denominational. You must be 18 years or older to book a wedding package with Kenwood Travel, and unless otherwise stated we will offer you a civil wedding.

Can I get married abroad if I have been divorced?

Yes, all you need is your Decree Absolute, for which you must have the original document and take this with you when you travel.

What about my wedding dress? What’s the best way to transport it?

Most bridal shops will carefully pack your dress in a specially designed travel box or cabin carry-on suitcase which fits in the overhead locker on the plane. On arrival at the hotel we recommend you hang up your dress as soon as possible to help any creases drop. Your in-resort wedding coordinator should also be able to provide a steamer.

Can I get married on the beach?

Yes, most of the hotels in our destination wedding portfolio offer various venue options which include beautiful ocean-view gazebos, tropical gardens and, of course, soft sandy beaches. The choice is yours.

Will my wedding date and time be booked before I arrive?

Yes, your wedding date will be booked and all the necessary paperwork prepared before jetting off for your destination wedding.

Can my wedding guests be added to my booking?

Yes, we’ll be happy to coordinate all persons onto the same booking, and we can also suggest nearby hotels should your guests wish to stay at a different accommodation.

It is just going to be the two of us; will we need witnesses?

Yes, witnesses will be required, but your in-resort wedding coordinator will arrange this for you.

Can I get my hair and make-up done in the hotel?

Yes, most of the hotels we work with either have a spa or can provide an in-room hairdresser/beautician. Your in-resort wedding coordinator will arrange all this for you.

What are the legal requirements for getting married abroad?

We offer general guidance for the specific Island or country. With regards personal circumstances ultimately it will be your responsibility to check you have all the correct original legal documentation and this must travel with you in order for the wedding to take place.
