What are the best reasons for destination wedding?

Destination weddings are more relaxed, fun and less expensive. They can be intimate (just the two of you), they can be grand with 200 of your friends and family or somewhere in between. You are getting married in a dream location with friends and family there to help you celebrate. Typically, destination weddings average one third of the cost of a traditional wedding.

When should we begin planning our destination wedding?

12 months is ideal to begin planning.This will give you time to choose a resort, secure a wedding date, a block of rooms, and give your guests advance notice to take time off and financially plan for their trip. But if your timeline is less than 12 months, we have special contacts in the industry that we will call on to help us plan your wedding in less time.

What is the cost of a destination wedding?

All inclusive resorts offer destination wedding packages that are very cost effective and have a lot of value. Just like all weddings vary in price depending on the number of guests, your selections, high or low season, etc., but on average a destination wedding, even including the travel expenses, is usually a third of a hometown wedding!

What is the best time for a destination wedding?

This depends on budget and location. The climate you want and traveling during peak or low season will play factors in determining your wedding date.

In Mexico and the Caribbean the three seasons are:

  • Peak Season (Most Expensive): Christmas- through Easter, plus all Holiday weekends
  • Mid Season (Average Cost): Easter through August
  • Low Season (Least Expensive): September through Early November, just before Thanksgiving

What are the best destinations to have a destination wedding?

Typically, a destination with all-inclusive resorts offer the most benefits for you and your guests. This way, your guest pays one price to attend your wedding and enjoy a vacation. The wedding couple can also earn great benefits for bringing guests to their resort, helping reduce your wedding cost. Mexico, The Caribbean and Costa Rica offer all inclusive resorts that are great for a destination wedding.

We had the pleasure of working with Kim Short. I worked with Kim for almost a year organizing my wedding at Dreams Riviera in Cancun Mexico for around 40 people. Kim was so kind and patient with all of my questions and changes down to the the day of departure from the resort. All of my guests booked through Destination Diva and could agree that the management of travel and stay was top tier. If you’re looking to book your destination wedding DESTINATIONS DIVA is the way!!
