What Do Couples Pay for with a Destination Wedding?
In destinations such as Jamaica, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic, most wedding resorts are all-inclusive. This means that the price to host a wedding there will also include things like décor and music for the ceremony, as well as catering and bar service at the reception, which you'd pay for separately at home. All-inclusive wedding packages may also include otherwise high-ticket items such as on-site entertainment (hey, DJ!), the wedding cake, floral arrangements, your ceremony officiant, and sometimes even a photographer. All-inclusive wedding resorts also include the entire honeymoon stay - an item that, for couples getting married at home, can really break the bank otherwise. If you are working with a budget, keep in mind that an all-inclusive experience can add up to thousands of dollars in savings (on top of much less planning stress, trying to coordinate all the details).
