Frequently Asked Destination Wedding Questions
Want to learn more about destination weddings? Follow below to learn more about our services and see answers to couples’ most frequently asked questions.
What is a destination wedding?
A destination wedding is a wedding held in a non-traditional location that requires out-of-town travel for most of the guests. Examples of destination wedding locations include beaches, cruises, resorts, mountain towns, villas, and foreign countries.
Our Caribbean destination weddings are a type of wedding where the ceremony and reception take place in a Caribbean destination. It’s a popular option for couples who want a beautiful and luxurious wedding in an exotic location. Some popular Caribbean destinations for destination weddings include Mexico, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Aruba, and the Bahamas.
How to plan a destination wedding with Destify?
1. Choose a destination: Determine the location you’d like to hold your wedding.
2. Get organized: Meet each person involved in the planning process and follow our timeline for all tasks that need to be completed.
3. Invite guests: Create a list of your invitees and start sending out the details.
4. Design and decor: Work directly with your resort to select vendors and decor packages for your ceremony and reception such as a photographer, music, catering, and décor.
5. Manage the details: Use Destify’s dashboard to track RSVPs, stay on top of payments, communicate with guests, and manage the details of the wedding.
6. Enjoy!: On the day of your wedding, let Destify handle the stress and enjoy your special day!
What is included in a free wedding package?
A free wedding package typically includes a wedding ceremony performed by a licensed officiant, a wedding bouquet and boutonniere, a wedding cake, and sparkling wine or cider for the toasting ceremony.
Some free wedding packages may also include a small wedding reception, photography and/or videography, and wedding decorations. Each ‘free’ wedding package varies by location and resort and may require certain stipulations in order to qualify.
What destination wedding venues does Destify offer?
We offer a range of gorgeous resorts from Mexico to the Caribbean. Depending on the size or location of your resorts you may have access to common wedding venues like the beach, garden, ballroom, gazebo, piers, poolside, rooftops, and much more.
What hair and makeup options do I have?
Many of our wedding resorts have spas and bridal salons built directly into the resort. They may even include bridal suites where getting ready is as luxurious and easy as possible.
At an all-inclusive bridal suite, you will typically have a range of hair and makeup options available. Generally, professional makeup artists, hair stylists, eyelash technicians, and spray tanners are all available. Depending on the bridal suite, you may also have access to specialized beauty treatments, such as manicures, massage treatments, and facials. The suite can also provide you with a selection of hairstyles, make-up looks, and nail colors to choose from.
What catering options do I have?
The catering options you will have at an all-inclusive resort for your wedding will depend on the specific resort you choose, but some general amenities often include
• Tailored menu options to suit your budget, style, and palate preferences
• On-site chefs to create customized dishes
• Collaboration with the resort’s Food & Beverage team to match wedding decor
• On-site wine cellar and bartending services
• Customizable specialty cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, desserts and more
• Buffet-style meal options, including vegan and vegetarian options
• Late-night snack stations
• Outdoor grilling for a more relaxed wedding celebration
• Specialty cake designed to match your wedding theme
• Individually served plated meals.
What entertainment options do I have?
At an all-inclusive wedding, you have plenty of entertainment options. Some ideas include live music, a DJ, a live photographer or videographer, a photo booth, a karaoke machine, a dance troupe, a live band, a firework show, and so much more. Decide on which entertainment option is best for you and your budget!
What group activities can I book for my guests?
Resort activities are endless but some of our favorites include:
- Nature walks, hikes, and bird-watching tours
- Guided kayaking, snorkeling, paddle boarding, or scuba diving trips
- Swimming, playing on the beach, or building sand castles
- Beach volleyball, soccer, or other sports
- Karaoke or game nights
- Painting, clay modeling, or jewelry making
- Boat cruises or catamaran sailings
- Cultural excursions or city tours
- Salsa lessons or dance classes
- Making handcrafted items such as hats, masks, or jewelry
- Cooking lessons or food-tasting events
- Horseback riding or zip-lining
- Stargazing and astronomy classes
- Shopping trips to local markets
- Yoga, tai chi, or meditation classes
Will my marriage be legally binding in my home country?
You can legally get married at your chosen resort. The legality of a marriage abroad is determined by the laws of the country of origin. Therefore, it is best to consult with a lawyer in your home country to determine the legally binding status of your marriage.
However, the majority of our couples choose to get married legally in their home state or local courthouse and then host a “symbolic” ceremony at their chosen resort. Your guests won’t know the difference!
Can I visit my resort first?
Yes! Many resorts host exclusive stays and cheaper stays for couples who want to visit a resort first. Although definitely not necessary, it is always a good idea to visit first before you book if it’s within your budget, to get a feel for the resort and make sure it is the right fit for your special day. Your Destify specialist can even help you book this stay should you be interested.
