What’s the Average Cost Per Guest for a Destination Wedding?
The average cost per guest for a destination wedding typically starts around $110 per person for a basic package that includes a ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.
Costs vary significantly depending on:
The resort and destination you choose
The wedding package level (basic vs multi-event)
The number of guests in your group
Any customizations or upgrades added
Additional elements that increase per-guest cost include:
Premium décor and florals
Entertainment and live music
Extended event durations
Private venues or upgraded locations
Even small upgrades can meaningfully increase your final per-guest cost, especially across larger groups.
Key Takeaway
Per-guest costs can start low, but your final price depends heavily on upgrades, resort choice, and overall event complexity.
