Estimates suggest that around one in six couples in the UK are getting married abroad these days.

For all the romantic connotations of having the big day abroad, cost is a clear factor for most people: not only do international wedding venues tend to be cheaper but an international wedding offers a natural selection process when it comes to the number of guests.

It’s worth remembering, however, that those costs are likely to have to be settled in another currency. While relying on your high street bank to settle expenses overseas might seem the obvious thing to do, when sending money overseas it can pay to use a transfer specialist to settle your bills instead.

Not only is this likely to give you access to more competitive exchange rates, but receiving a dedicated personal account manager also means you can access guidance on the best way to settle your wedding expenses and prepare for exchange rate volatility.
