Caribbean Wedding Costs
When picturing a destination wedding in a stunning tropical paradise like the Caribbean, you might think that tying the knot on an island such as Aruba, Curaçao, St. Lucia, Turks and Caicos, or St. Maarten comes with an extravagant price tag. However, the reality is quite the opposite! The average cost of a wedding in these breathtaking Caribbean destinations is an affordable $5,860. Compare that to a traditional wedding at home, which averages $35,000—now that's a huge difference!
So, what makes Caribbean destination weddings so budget-friendly? Many resorts in these islands offer all inclusive wedding packages, which means you pay a set price for accommodations, dining, and a beautifully curated wedding experience. Of course, the overall cost will depend on factors such as your chosen island, the time of year, your guest count, and any customizations you add to your package. Additional package add-ons like floral arrangements, premium dining options, professional photography and videography, or live entertainment can raise the price.
Regardless of how you choose to celebrate your big day, a Caribbean destination wedding is often significantly more affordable than a traditional wedding at home. It's no wonder why more couples are choosing to say "I do" in these dreamy island destinations. If you're ready to start planning your Caribbean wedding, simply fill out one of our wedding planning forms, and one of our Certified Destination Wedding Specialists will be in touch to help make your dream wedding a reality!
