Average Cost of A Curacao Wedding

You might think that a destination wedding in Curacao is too expensive. You’ll be pleasantly surprised that it is more affordable than you think. The average cost is currently only $8,350. Keep in mind that many things will affect your price, including your venue, wedding date, how many guests attend, what resort and accommodations you select, travel expenses, and others. 

For example, if you get married barefoot on the beach with your family in attendance will be less than if you get married in a lavishly decorated luxury resort with hundreds of guests.
