All-inclusive Destination

Wedding Package Breakdown

Purchasing a destination wedding package from an all-inclusive resort is the most common way our couples host their all-inclusive destination weddings with 20+ guests. But what exactly is a wedding package? Like purchasing a TV or a car, wedding packages come in different varieties and price points and differ from minimal to lavish ceremony setups. A package may already feature everything you’re looking for, or you can use it as a base to further customize. Packages vary by the resort brand and location you choose. Below is a collection of example packages, tiered similarly to how many resorts feature theirs.
