Why limit your wedding to one day? Multi-day celebrations let you extend the joy with welcome parties, day-after brunches, and more.

1) Common Formats

  • Welcome dinner: Casual kickoff for guests traveling in.
  • Rehearsal activities: Not just dinner—think boat rides or wine tastings.
  • Day-after brunch: Relaxed wrap-up before departures.

2) Guest Considerations

  • Communication: Send schedules early via website.
  • Lodging: Blocks at hotels or Airbnb clusters help.
  • Budget: Multi-day = more food, staff, and logistics.

3) Personalization

  • Themed events: Luau, taco night, or black-tie cocktails.
  • Local flavor: Highlight the destination with cuisine or tours.
  • Dress codes: Set expectations so guests pack accordingly.
