When it comes to destination weddings, many couples are looking for the all-inclusive package. They want one-stop shopping where they can get destination wedding packages that cover everything from food and drinks to lodging and transportation. But are these all-inclusive venues worth the price?

In this blog-post you will find out if an all-inclusive venue and its several destination wedding packages is right for your wedding, how much they cost on average, what you need to know before booking one – including tips for saving money when booking your dream retreat!

Pros of All-Inclusive Wedding Venues

The main benefit of all-inclusive wedding venues is that they are typically very easy to plan with. Everything from the catering, decorating and even down to transportation is taken care of for you, so there’s little work involved on your part.

You can also rest assured that you won’t have to worry about hidden costs popping up. With an all-inclusive wedding venue, the price quoted is typically set in stone, so there are no surprises later on during your big day. Letting go of the stress and having one less thing to think about makes many couples fall head over heels for these types of destinations.

What to Consider Before Booking an All-Inclusive Venue

However, just because all-inclusive venues are very simple to plan with doesn’t mean you should jump in before considering the following: Do You Know What’s Included?

Before getting too far into planning your getaway it is important that both of you know what exactly is included in the various destination wedding packages available. It can vary from venue to venue but typically if it’s an all-inclusive wedding venue, everything from catering and decorating is included, but if there are other things that may make a difference for the two of you (like having a particular photographer or DJ) then those need to be taken into consideration as well before leaving town.

Be sure to look at the fine print of what is included in each package and if there are any restrictions on how you can decorate or provide your own food. Once everything has been discussed, go over it with an attorney who specializes in destination weddings before signing anything.

How to Find the Perfect, All-Inclusive Venue for Your Budget and Needs

Many couples are starting to realize that spending their entire budget on one venue might not be the wisest idea. Here are some smart ways for how you can save money when booking your all-inclusive wedding destination:

Research and compare different venues in person (if possible) before committing – don’t just choose a place because it sounds pretty online without seeing what it looks like in person.

Don’t book until you get a guaranteed quote – if the venue doesn’t have an online estimate request it in writing, so there are no surprises later on down the road when more charges show up unexpectedly.

Look into all-inclusive wedding packages that include services other than just catering and decorating, such as transportation or lodging.

Budget for additional costs like decorations, entertainment and other incidentals, so you don’t go over budget. It’s not very romantic to have two stressed out people on their big day!

Tip of the Day: If your all-inclusive wedding venue is not providing certain services then be sure that you are factoring those charges into your budget.

How about having your ceremony on a romantic secluded beach? How about exchanging vows in a garden filled with lush greenery? Or perhaps you want to say “I do” in front of a historic landmark that will definitely leave all your guests talking for months afterwards. You can even have the reception on-site at one location and then head over to another spot nearby for dinner, dancing and mingling!
