How Much Does a Destination Wedding Cost?
The average cost of a wedding in the US for 2022 was $30,000 while the average cost of a destination wedding in Mexico in 2022 was between $5,000 and $12,000 - which is SO MUCH less
So how much does a destination wedding really cost? Well, the answer is … it depends on you and the resort you choose:
When you plan a destination wedding in the Caribbean at an all-inclusive resort many things are included or complimentary when you book a certain room category or a specific amount of nights. You can essentially get a free or next-to-free wedding for just staying at the resort. Another benefit is if you do want to bring guests along with you, the reservations add up and the couples can earn FREE nights on their room and potentially get a refund!
Here’s a sample breakdown of potential costs at Excellence Playa Mujeres
•Your flights and accommodation for 7 nights can cost between $4000-$6000
•The Excellence Wedding Package includes:
-Onsite Assistance by Wedding Coordinators
-Beach or Gazebo Wedding Venue
-Symbolic Ceremony Minister
-Standard wedding decor (white on white)
-Bouquet and Boutonierre
-Sparkling wine toast and wedding cake
-Sound system for ceremony only
-Photographer and 5 digital images
-Late check-out based on availability
-15% off Spa treatments
-Complimentary Honeymoon Package
All for only $850.00!!!
The more people you invite and the more rooms you secure this package can become complimentary when 30 paid room nights are secured. What does that mean? That means if you want to invite a few friends and family you can and you will get this package for free! For example, if you invited 5 couples and they each stayed 6 nights you’d get this package for free or you can upgrade your wedding package to something else that the resort offers. You can make this as affordable or as expensive as you’d like!
You could very well just have the two of you elope and it may not cost you more than an extra $850 on top of your vacation! That's pretty damn cool if you ask me. But the more people you invite along the more freebies you may get!
