There are wedding chapels and luxurious resorts to host your wedding, but as with any destination wedding there a few details that need to be decided before the big day.

Instructions

1. Decide which side of Niagara Falls you prefer for your big day. Aside from different accommodations, you need to consider getting married in the United States or Canada. There are varying regulations for getting married in another country so you might want to consult with an attorney to check out laws before making your decision.

The great thing about using a resort is that everything you need is in one place--the wedding ceremony, lodging accommodations, reception and all other needs. Resorts are experienced at working with people from around the world and may even offer discounts for packages containing multiple services.

3. Plan your wedding with the help of a wedding planner at the location you have selected. Find someone you like and can work with to do the on-site and other local planning for you.

4. Make all the appropriate accommodations for you and your guests. Make sure that everyone has the appropriate paperwork they may need for the ceremony, such as identification for your witnesses, especially is you are getting married in Canada.

5. Have an amazing time. If there is anything that doesn't meet with your expectations, talk to the wedding planner or manager immediately when you arrive.
