Why Have a Beach Wedding?
A recent study found that couples who opted for a destination wedding are more satisfied with their nuptials than couples who chose to tie the knot close to home.
There are countless benefits of having a beach destination wedding, as opposed to a traditional affair in your hometown.

Types of Beach Wedding Venues and Packages
As you begin to research your options and plan your special day, you'll find there are beach wedding venues and packages for all styles, groups, and budgets. While a beach wedding is the epitome of carefree nuptials, it certainly doesn't limit you to a simple ceremony on the beach. Even those looking for a formal, black-tie affair can have a wedding on or near the beach. Today, beach wedding packages can be completely customized based on a couples' wants and needs.
Different Types of Beach Wedding Resorts
A beach wedding can offer up plenty of fun for dozens of your friends and family members. It can also serve as the perfect, romantic getaway for just you and your soon-to-be-spouse. If you desire an intimate affair on a tucked away, untouched beach, you may consider an adults-only beach wedding resort. If you have children, or will have children attending the wedding, rest assured that many beach wedding resorts are family-friendly. In fact, 50% of destination weddings have children in attendance. Whatever your style and preferences, you can certainly find beach wedding packages to fit your exact vision.
All-Inclusive Options
Like many couples choosing a destination wedding, you may be looking for an all-inclusive event. All-inclusive destination wedding packages can vary—and be customized—depending on your needs. If your budget is tight, you can opt for a small wedding package that includes the venue, ceremony officiant, and a champagne toast for two. If you're looking for the works, you can find an elaborate package that offers floral arrangements, a dinner reception, DJ, cake, and tropical decor. Through Destination Weddings, all, all-inclusive beach wedding packages include the services of a Certified Destination Wedding Specialist who will work with you to finalize the big-day details long before your arrival.
All-inclusive destination wedding packages are generally the most affordable route when planning a beach wedding. Destination wedding packages at all-inclusive beach resorts can be free for couples, or start as low as $500. Most packages will include simple ceremony décor (you don't need much when you have a tropical beach backdrop), a wedding cake, basic florals and romantic amenities for the couple throughout their stay. No matter which tropical island or area you choose, your venue is sure to have a variety of custom wedding packages to accommodate your group size and budget.
