More About Wedding Destinations Weddings

dollarDestination Wedding Costs

Destination wedding package costs throughout Mexico are very affordable, and you’ll find many packages include a full ceremony with basic decor and typically a semi-private reception or cocktail hour.

Other then Mexico, the Dominican Republic often sees the best prices for destination wedding packages. Many resorts are now happy and willing to accommodate same-sex weddings, but due to the requirement of private land for the ceremony, they can’t always be hosted on the beach.

In Jamaica you can get a lot of bang for your buck with all-inclusive wedding packages — with many entry-level packages featuring semi-private receptions included in the upfront costs. Note: Jamaica is not same-sex friendly, so LGBT couples will want to look elsewhere.

When considering the Caribbean Islands, destination wedding costs are much higher amongst the smaller islands then in the Dominican Republic or Jamaica. That being said, you can still find some wedding packages that may include a reception in the upfront costs.

Packages available in our U.S. locations are not all-inclusive; but what they lack in “all-in-one” ease, they boast considerably more customization options.
