FACTS & TIPS ABOUT DESTINATION WEDDINGS & HONEYMOONS

  • More and more people are turning to destination weddings. About 20% of couples are going on destination weddings, either domestic or international.
  • As a couple, you are spending nearly 3 x more for your honeymoon than a regular vacation, with up to 25% paying $5,000-10,000 (according to a Travel Trends 2013 survey).
  • Destination weddings offer a great value, as costs for traditional home weddings continue to escalate. Why not travel to an interesting destination, that can serve as your honeymoon and vacation for guests?
  • If you would like a large wedding with many guests then you should choose a more moderate destination to make it affordable. If you are looking at a smaller group or only family then you should be able to choose a more exotic locale.
  • You can usually tell within the first couple of weeks after sending the announcement how many people will be attending. The bride and groom generally stay six to ten days, while guests generally stay four to six days.
  • All-inclusive resorts are great for large groups because everything is paid up front and you know what it will cost. All-inclusive resorts also offer a number of wedding packages that allow couples to mix and match different features. Some resorts offer free basic packages based on the number of rooms used. Couples then add additional features.
  • Some resorts offer complimentary weddings with a minimum night stay. Honeymooners may receive a bottle of champagne and flowers.
