Most destination wedding packages include a ceremony venue, officiant, basic décor, a wedding cake, and a champagne toast. Many all inclusive resorts also offer upgraded packages that include photography, reception dinners, floral arrangements, and spa treatments for the couple. Your Certified Destination Wedding Specialist can help you compare packages across resorts to find the right fit.
The cost of a destination wedding can vary widely depending on the resort, guest count, and package tier. Based on real data from our couples, the average destination wedding costs $9,850 at an all inclusive resort — significantly less than the $36,000 average for a traditional U.S. wedding. And your guests get a vacation out of it, too!
Destination weddings combine your wedding and travel into one seamless experience. You choose a location and resort, along with a wedding package that bundles key elements like the ceremony, venue, officiant and décor into one price.
From there, you work with a Destination Wedding Specialist (like ours) who helps you select the right destination and resort, secure your date and room block and coordinate travel for you and your guests. The resort’s on-site wedding team then handles the final details and day-of execution so everything comes together smoothly.
