To wed away (that’s how we call destination weddings) are great way to ensure you have a wedding that’s completely you. We’ve done few so we know.
Did you know that average 150-guest wedding cost about $35,000—which can easily skyrocket to more than $100,000 in big cities. (Not to mention a few extra thousand for a honeymoon.) Our first main reason for destination wedding is that they’re a Once-in-a-Lifetime Reunion Opportunity
At a traditional wedding, you’re on the run, meeting and greeting. Destination weddings are on vacation time. You’re usually required to arrive a few days early to fill out the paperwork, so by the time your wedding rolls around, you’ve had two to three days of fun with family and friends. How often do you have the opportunity to spend no-rush quality playtime with dear friends & family? This is your chance!
If that’s not enough here are couple more reasons:
- You can combine your wedding and honeymoon together – no new travel plans needed.
- You usually pay for only yourselves as the bride and groom.
Your guests pay for their own package (flight and hotel) to get there, and if you choose an all-inclusive resort it makes things really simply and low maintenance as all the food and drinks are paid for as well. - There usually aren’t as many guests (average is around 40 guests) because of obvious financial hurdles.
You don’t need to be as elaborate at your reception because the location (beaches!!) speaks for itself.
