With the cost of weddings skyrocketing to $25,000 or more, many couples will find a significant cost savings by having a destination wedding, especially since you’re often combining the wedding and honeymoon into one. Some hotels, especially in Mexico and the Caribbean even offer free wedding packages that include a variety of wedding services and amenities plus customizable wedding packages for a reasonable cost – typically under $5,000 for the entire wedding. While this represents a cost savings for the bride and groom, it may mean some of your guests may be unable to attend due to the extra travel costs associated with a destination wedding. So, before booking your destination wedding, you may want to get a feel for who can all attend to see if those closest to you able to come along. However, a destination wedding is a great opportunity to give your guests a vacation of their own while also celebrating your big day.
