Choosing your dream yacht to charter
Each event of this nature is unique and memorable in many ways, and it is crucial to have a vision of your perfect day to work towards. The vessel you choose to host this most special of occasions depends on several factors you must consider carefully beforehand, namely:
- The dream—First and foremost, let your imagination run free and picture the most sensational wedding experience you can. There will be plenty of time to reign in the more outlandish elements later, but go wild and create the perfect vision in your mind for now. The more precise the vision, the easier it will be to convey it to others, allowing them to help you get as close to matching it as possible.
- The budget—Although it feels churlish to think about money when laying the groundwork for the best day of your life, it is the only way to proceed effectively and with everyone on the same page. Decide your budget ahead of time and give yourself a maximum amount of variation for when the time comes to make decisions about everything from the vessel to the decorations, service staff, catering, and entertainment, among other expenses.
- Your ideal guest list—Having this number fixed in your mind is critical to choosing the perfect yacht. Speak to your personal representative at Isabella Yachts Phuket. Giving them as much information as possible ahead of time helps narrow down the options and allows them to work effectively to advise and guide you.
- A breakdown of timings—While it is not necessary to nail down timings to the minute at the earliest stages of planning, it helps to have an overall idea of how things will progress during the day. If your ceremony time is fixed, work around that and make a provisional timetable that gives plenty of time for logistical issues and the delays large groups of people often create.
Troubleshooting ahead of time and as events unfold
Even the best-laid plans can go awry, and nobody can predict precisely what will happen on an occasion of this magnitude. All you can do is your very best to think of everything ahead of time, put contingency plans in place, and then let it go and consider the matter outside your sphere of influence. Some unpredictable, aggravating events include:
- Uncooperative weather—Barring a complete change of date or venue, there is no way to fully anticipate and mitigate the effects of inclement weather, but that does not mean you cannot prepare for it ahead of time. Discuss how plans will change if the clouds open at various stages of the day and instruct your willing assistants to guide people to designated areas as and when required. Ensure plenty of dry towels are available if people get caught in a downpour and have extra snacks and champagne on standby to rejuvenate the mood.
- Sudden illness or injury—Find out if you have any first responders on your guest list or among the staff and crew of your chosen vessel beforehand and discuss the steps they will take if someone is taken ill or injures themselves.
- Technology issues—Designate an individual with experience in electrical systems and entertainment setups to monitor the electronics required to keep the party jumping. The DJ will have their own equipment but may need more outlets than anticipated or have other logistical requirements. Let your chosen helper be their guide in this and address any issues as they arise.
Put your faith in others and allow them to handle situations that do not require your attention and energy. Provided you have briefed everybody fully and given the crucial tasks to those you trust most, you can relax and focus on enjoying the day to its fullest. There should be very few incidents or unexpected requests that cannot be handled by capable, willing staff and acquaintances, so let the burden fall from your shoulders once the festivities begin and rely on them to do what is necessary.
Enjoy yourself
The only non-negotiable factor is that your day cannot be spoiled no matter what happens. Obstacles will be overcome, and tribulations will be handled; at the end of the day, all that matters is that you are together with your loved ones to celebrate a beautiful occasion in the lap of luxury. Don’t let the small details ruin the big picture, and if there is too much to handle alone, consider hiring a wedding planner to take even more of the strain off you.
