Call the local Chamber of Commerce and tourism office. Chamber offices will often give callers the phone number of members who offer wedding services. Southern Delaware Tourism provides a list of chambers on its website, www.visitsoutherdelaware.com. The site also has a wedding planning section.
Pick up local magazines and newspapers when you are visiting the beach. Florists, bakers, restaurants, photographers, limousine companies and reception venues may not be chamber members but they advertise in local publications.
Use local vendors. Local vendors know all the specific ins-and-outs of the wedding business here. Rely on their expertise, local experience and recommendations to simplify your planning process.
Consider using a wedding planner. Beach-area event planners can handle any or all of the arrangements. Many offer inclusive packages with all the appropriate services, even the minister. Some planners offer their services just for the day to make sure everything runs according to your plan. They’ll run the show, so you can have and relax.
Plan ahead. Summer brides compete with tourists for room rates and other facilities. To get the best accommodations and venues, you must schedule far in advance or pick a date outside the traditional summer season. The beach is scenic all year long. Off-season is a lovely time for weddings. Remember, you’ll need time to interview and meet vendors. Schedule your wedding so you can contact vendors when they’re available and not on vacation in the winter.
