Best Destination Weddings

5 ways the best destination weddings
will save you money and stress!

Many couples are having the best destination weddings! Perhaps you've thought about a wedding at a romantic faraway beach location for you and your fiance, but it just seemed too difficult to plan or expensive.

There are many questions that couples have when considering a beach destination wedding. I’ve compiled a list of the top reasons couples give for choosing destination wedding packages:

It is unique.

Your relationship is unique and it’s natural to want to have a wedding day that is also unique and special to express your love in front of family and friends. Many couples are tired of traditional weddings and want to branch out into a really creative day with their closest friends and family instead of distant relatives and friends of business acquaintances you barely know.

Much of the stress of planning is reduced.

The planning is all included in wedding destination packages. The best destination weddings are those that will have an experienced wedding planner on staff and they will know what needs to be done to pull off a great wedding.

Although it may seem more stressful to plan a wedding so far away, much of the stress can be reduced when you get an all inclusive package.

Another way to reduce stress is to arrange the lodging ahead of time for your group. Many times they can give a discount for a larger party. Search for the perfect vacation rental at Condo.com. They make it super easy to search for cheap condo's to rent by doing a search where your wedding destination will be.

"However, no wedding is without stress altogether or there would be brides in line waiting for that wedding package..but try to find a resort with an experienced wedding planner that will work patiently with you long distance."

I think the Caribbean is a great place for a wedding, and there is a great resort my friend visited in St. John's that she thought would be a great wedding location.

It is usually much cheaper than a large traditional wedding.

Surprised? I was too, but it’s true. If chosen carefully, beach destination weddings can be cheaper. Many wedding destination packages average between $2,000-6,000, depending on the size of the wedding, and how many frills, of course. That is for approximately $18,000-$20,000 less than a larger traditional wedding, even with you paying for some of the expenses of your guests.

"That is amazing and something many brides do not realize when planning their weddings!"

The honeymoon is right there!

Often times, the honeymoon will be included in the price of your wedding package, which is an added benefit of already being at your location - no stressful flights and travel to make after a long wedding day. I wish I had done this! I still remember how tired we were after our wedding day. We woke up early to catch our flight to Maui and after flying almost all day I nearly got sick on the small commuter plane from the big island to Maui! It would have been great to wake up there already!

More quality time with family and friends on a mini vacation.

The best destination weddings make everyone of your guests eel special and on their own retreat too! If you can offer to pay for some of their expenses, this can be an extra bonus for your loved ones. You can't be expected to entertain them, but it may provide a chance to have some fun together time after all the fluster of activity calms down. You will be on their favorite list for some time!

However, some couples have concerns that family members will be so close to them on their honeymoon. I understand that concern and would suggest for the newlyweds to do their sightseeing and exploring during the days wedding guests are at the resort, if wanting some alone time.

Chances are, many guests won’t be able to stay too long and I’m sure most would understand the need for newlywed privacy.

The best destination weddings are the ones that fit the couples personality and recreation preference, so choose what YOU love and it will be a day to remember!
