Reason 3 - Affordability
Are destination weddings really affordable, you ask?
YES! 100%
Lemme put things into perspective…
The average cost of a wedding in the US is about $28,000 to $30,000 – ouch!
An all-inclusive destination wedding in, say Mexico, will cost you around $2,500 to $5,500 for 20 to 50 guests.
This includes everything… the wedding ceremony, flowers, food & drink, reception, DJ, the works!
Who wants more money in their pocket?
Just think of all the margaritas and palomas you can sip on the beach with that kind of extra cash!
Reason 4 - Check Off Travel Bucket List!
Always wanted to go cenote diving in Mexico?
Or lakeside camping in Switzerland?
Or explore the African savannah?
Opt for a wedding at your dream destination and you could be knocking off items from your travel bucket list!
Simply put, destination weddings act as the common meeting grounds between 2 locations or cultures.
For example – 1 partner’s from Texas, the other has roots in Japan, both stay in LA… Where do you have the wedding?
In an exotic destination of course, with both the cultures coming together beautifully!
Reason 6 - Unique Wedding Ceremonies
Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could just skip the regular 45-minute ceremony and the predictable reception dinner?
Well, here’s an idea – why not go somewhere new and exciting and experience something completely unique?
How about a Mayan wedding ceremony in Mexico, or a Maasai wedding in Tanzania, or a Vedic wedding in India?
Every place has its own special customs that will add a little cultural spice to your big day!
That’s why many couples nowadays are choosing destination wedding packages that have a local flair.
Reason 7 - The Weather
When deciding on having a destination wedding, weather is just as crucial as cost, if not more so.
If you really want to have a wedding in say November or December, ditching the cold and heading over to the Caribbean, Maldives, Mexico, Jamaica, Hawaii, or Costa Rica makes more sense.
Couples are now opting for exotic destinations just so they can escape the gloomy weather back home!
Reason 8 - Amazing Accommodations
From massive rooms the size of an apartment to 2-storey penthouses…
From rooms with private pools to dreamy swim-out suites…
The accommodation options are endless when you decide to opt for a destination wedding.
Besides, amenities and features in these rooms and suites are capable of spoiling you to the core!
Let’s just say, you and your guests might not want to leave!
Reason 9 - More Time With Loved Ones
With a local wedding, you get just a few hours with your guests, and you are exhausted by the end of the day.
Destination weddings are all the rage because they give the couple more time to hang out and have fun with their guests.
If you want, the celebrations and events can be dragged out over several days.
Besides, many resorts offer awesome activities and entertainment options for you and your guests to choose from.
Reason 10 - Stunning Backdrops To Your Wedding!
Last but definitely not least, destination weddings are popular because of the stunning locales you can opt for.
Your local banquet hall or chapel may not have the best scenery for wedding photos.
However, if you consider places like the Italian countryside or the Mexican Riviera, you can capture some amazing shots for your big day!
