All-Inclusive Destination Wedding Details
As a couple, you know which details are most important for you to have on your big day. Do you wish to have a certain flower, or live music during the ceremony? It can help to create a checklist of these wishes ahead of time, to share with your Destination Wedding Specialist and Venue Coordinator before choosing the right package for you. Typically, all-inclusive wedding packages will include:
- The ceremony venue with simple décor
- Chairs and table linens
- Floral arrangements including a bouquet and boutonniere
- Music for the ceremony
- A champagne or sparkling wine toast
- Semi-private reception venue, such as a restaurant on the resort grounds
- Catering and bar service
- Romantic touches for the wedding couple, such as late check-out, a complimentary room upgrade, couple's massages, or even a candlelit dinner on the beach
- Complimentary honeymoon stay
With a traditional wedding, all these details would usually constitute separate expenses. But with an all-inclusive destination wedding package, couples can save thousands of dollars (on top of dozens of hours that would otherwise be spent booking these services!) by bundling them into one. And if something on your "must-have" list is not included in the resort's basic wedding package, don't worry - You can work with your Resort Coordinator to add it on. For example, you can upgrade a DJ to a live band, or add extra flair to your wedding décor (tiki torches, anyone?) for an additional cost. Keep in mind that some resorts offer more luxuries and amenities for wedding guests than others, so it's important to read the fine print or speak to the resort's wedding coordinator before booking.
How to Choose the Right All-Inclusive Wedding Package
Finding the perfect all-inclusive wedding resort is important and exciting, but is not always the easiest choice. There are thousands of options to choose from overseas. Not only this, but each resort offers several different packages that couples can select, depending on their wants and needs. While there are Certified Destination Wedding Specialists who can help narrow your options down, you'll need to do a bit of homework first.
