How Much Do Wedding Package Upgrades Cost?
Upgrade costs vary widely depending on how much you personalize your wedding package. While many destination wedding packages already include essentials like the venue, basic décor, ceremony setup, officiant, and food and drinks, most couples add extras to create a more customized experience.
Typical wedding package upgrade costs in destinations like Cancun look like this:
Photography and videography: $1,000–$2,500
Premium floral upgrades and décor enhancements (arches, centerpieces, aisle décor): $500–$2,000
Additional bridal party flowers: $100–$500
DJ or live music upgrades: $800–$2,000
Hair and makeup services: $200–$800
Marriage license and legal ceremony fees: $300–$800
Private reception spaces or extended event time: $1,000–$3,000
Lighting upgrades: $500–$1,500
Add-ons like photobooths, beach bonfires, fireworks, or extra entertainment: $500–$1,500
Some resorts charge outside vendor fees if you bring in your own photographer, DJ, florist, or beauty team. These can range from approximately $250–$800+ per vendor.
Key Takeaway
A few small upgrades may only add several hundred dollars, while multiple customizations can increase your wedding budget by several thousand.
